Eagles minicamp practice notes, June 16, 2015: Sam Bradford's gun
Today the action at practice was on the field farthest away from the steps, where the media can typically get a birds eye view of practice. And so, we were at field level trying to peer through a man-made wall of Eagles players. As a result, my observations are a little more spotty today, but here's what I was able to see:June 16, 2015

From a numbers perspective, the Eagles' roster turnover isn't as drastic as you might think
During the 2013 offseason, a quarter of the NFL (eight teams) changed their head coaches. Those teams were the Chiefs, Bears, Jaguars, Chargers, Bills, Browns, Cardinals, and of course, the Eagles. Of those eight teams, only one has more players remaining from their 2012 roster than the Eagles.June 16, 2015

Evan Mathis asked for his release, the Eagles obliged
For more than a year, the Eagles tried to trade Evan Mathis, but the Eagles found no takers, as Chip Kelly has noted. So when the Eagles exhausted all trade possibilities, Mathis and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, asked for his release. The Eagles obliged.June 14, 2015

Five potential Eagles offensive line trade targets
The Eagles are the only team in the NFL not to have selected an offensive lineman in either of the last two drafts. Last Thursday, Evan Mathis became the second starter along the Eagles' offensive line to be cut, after they jettisoned Todd Herremans back in February. The Eagles not have a whole lot of uncertainty at the guard position, and a lack of depth.June 13, 2015

What they're saying: Will Dez Bryant hold out?
Earlier this offseason, the Cowboys slapped the franchise tag on Dez Bryant, who is threatening to hold out into the regular season without a new long term deal, per Chris Mortensen of ESPN:June 12, 2015

Sports Illustrated: DeMarco Murray is basically Ray Charles playing running back
DeMarco Murray is blinder than a bat, or so I've been told by Cowboys fans ever since the Eagles signed him during free agency this past offseason. He doesn't see holes, he doesn't make the most the of his opportunities when he gets into the second level of the defense, he should have had 4000 yards instead of 1800+, blah blah blah.June 11, 2015

Eagles rookie NFL player comparisons: Eric Rowe edition
A number of you have asked what players the Eagles rookies remind me of so far. We're only a few practices into OTAs at this point in the offseason, and the Eagles haven't run enough team drills to really get a great in-person sense of what they'll be as pros. However, I do have some initial thoughts on players comps. Earlier this week we looked at a comparison for Nelson Agholor. Today we'll tackle Eric Rowe.June 11, 2015

Eagles release Pro Bowl left guard Evan Mathis
The Eagles have released Pro Bowl left guard Evan Mathis, which was first reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL.com and Adam Schefter of ESPN, and then confirmed by the Eagles as well as Mathis himself.June 10, 2015

Eagles OTA practice notes, June 9, 2015: Mark Sanchez playing well, but needs to do more
The Eagles practiced in front of the media Tuesday, which was the last OTA practice open to the media of the offseason. Media will have access to a three day minicamp next week, and then there will be a long gap until August 2nd, when training camp begins. My notes...June 10, 2015
