Eagles Question of the Day:
For the sake of this activity, let’s assume the Eagles are definitely trading A.J. Brown. What are you realistically hoping to get for him in return? Head over to The Feed and weigh in with your answer and explanation!
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …
NFL exec predictions: Lamar Jackson, A.J. Brown trades – ESPN
We’re still weeks away from a robust trade market and quarterbacks changing teams. Even if futile, here are a handful of bold predictions from league executives, coaches and scouts. […] Eagles trade A.J. Brown to the Bills. Brown’s happy-to-be-here quotient in Philly is miserably low. He’s a great player and great players are hard to replace. But the Eagles have never been scared to make a move due to the salary cap implications. The Eagles actually can save $7 million on the cap by designating Brown a post-June 1 trade. And it feels like it’s time. Some league execs have felt that way since October. “The Bills have to upgrade there — their best receiver is Khalil Shakir, who is a nice player but he’s not a top guy,” an NFL personnel evaluator said. “Brown is an immediate upgrade and he’s still young [turning 29 in June]. And the Eagles can build the passing game around DeVonta Smith and a high draft pick.” Other potential fits, via NFL scouts: the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders. [BLG Note: Post-June 1 designations don’t apply to trades.]
Sheil is joined by Brandon Lee Gowton of Bleeding Green Nation to discuss whether AJ Brown will be an Eagle next year. They also sift through the possible offensive coordinator candidates that the Eagles have been targeting. The Ringer’s Anthony Dabbundo joins the pod for an update of the Phillies’ offseason so far after losing out on the Bo Bichette sweepstakes. What’s the outlook for the Phillies after an offseason that, at least so far, has been lackluster?
Ranking 19 Eagles offensive coordinator candidates by tiers – BGN
The Philadelphia Eagles are once again searching for an offensive coordinator. Importantly, this article is not a straight-up ranking of candidates. Instead, this is a tiered board of all candidates who have surfaced. New names will be added if the search expands. I think this team needs an OC with full control. The operation hasn’t been good enough for years. This isn’t a developmental year. The roster is built to win now. If you’re serious about competing, you don’t run a collaborative committee experiment. You hire someone who runs the offense and let them run it. This hire matters! It will tell us if the Eagles are serious about overhauling an offense that has lost its identity, or if they’re simply looking for the next temporary caretaker. I know I am normally all about film, but I’ve done a lot of research for this one. Obviously, I’ve seen a lot of film on some of these when watching the Eagles, but I haven’t studied every single one. The film articles will come when we hire someone!
NFL mock draft 2026: Updated projection with college football season over – SB Nation
The Eagles just keep doing it. Once again we have Philadelphia getting a defensive steal in this draft. Theres little doubt that T.J. Parker had a down season based on expectations, but he shouldn’t be going this late in the draft. There’s a solid chance someone like Carolina could take him a few picks earlier, but ultimately this feels like another occasion where the Eagles are striking gold at a position of need, and getting a player they have no business in landing Parker has the ability to line up in multiple fronts, has astounding athleticism — and the only real knock is that he isn’t great at finishing tackles. With a little tutelage he could easily become an elite defensive end in the NFL.
The Green Bay Packers will interview Philadelphia Eagles defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Christian Parker for their defensive coordinator vacancy, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. According to Schultz, Parker is set to interview with the Dallas Cowboys for their defensive coordinator job on Wednesday and then “head straight to Green Bay afterward.” Parker began his NFL career as a quality control coach under Mike Pettine, beginning in 2019, head coach Matt LaFleur’s first year in Green Bay. After two seasons in that role, Parker took over as the Denver Broncos’ defensive backs coach from 2021 to 2023. Over those three seasons, the Broncos’ defense posted an 88.6 passer rating, which was good for the 12th-best in the league.
Berman: If I had to guess who will get the job, I’d say Daboll. He checks boxes as far as someone with credentialed play-calling experience, a background with key figures in the offense (Nick Sirianni, Hurts, Barkley, Smith), diversity of scheme exposure, and likely availability. If you asked who I think the best hire would be, I’d say McDaniel based on offensive creativity. There might be more boom-bust potential, but I’d go for the home run. My guess is McDaniel will have options, although I’m of the opinion that the Eagles’ job should be appealing (it’s been the springboard for three head coaches in the past decade) if the coordinator gets autonomy. Todd Monken would have intrigued me before it sounded like he was going to the Giants. It would surprise me if the hire does not have play-calling experience. Daboll fits that description. The Eagles just need the one who coached Josh Allen to a top-five offense, and not the one who saw Daniel Jones improve after parting. Regardless of who is hired, the objective must be to invigorate the passing game. It must be more explosive and more efficient. They’ve invested too much for too little return. A coordinator who can maximize Hurts is essential. There needs to be better use of the middle of the field, an emphasis on spacing to create yards after the catch, and answers to the blitz and defensive adjustments.
Drew Mukuba reflects on rookie season and injury that ended it early – NBCSP
Drew Mukuba had finally found some consistency in his rookie season and then it was over in a flash. On Nov. 18, Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio agreed that the rookie from Texas had finally found consistency in his game after an “uneven” start to his season. A few days later, Mukuba fractured his fibula in Dallas. “The toughest part about that was just knowing that I can’t finish the year out,” Mukuba said at locker cleanout day last week. “I just started to build some consistency in my game. So knowing that I was able to do that and that I was playing at a high level, I felt like going down, that was kind of discouraging. “But I kind of got over it with the guys around me and the help that I had. They helped change my mentality. Knowing that this is not a bad thing, just another way, another hurdle I gotta get over. I was able to work through that.”
Cowboys have interviews scheduled with Jonathan Gannon, Christian Parker this week – PFT
The Cowboys will interview former Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon on Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN reports. They have Eagles passing game coordinator Christian Parker scheduled for an in-person interview on Wednesday.
Cowboys 2025 rookie report: Reviewing Shavon Revel Jr – Blogging The Boys
The bigger concern is what this kind of year can do to a young player’s confidence. His season was a work in progress or better yet, a conundrum. He should ideally have spent this entire year rehabbing and easing into spot duty, but it’s fair to say the Cowboys’ depth issues forced him onto the field earlier than what was best for his development. Once he was thrust into a starter’s workload, the numbers and the tape say he struggled with too many completions, too many missed tackles, and a concussion at the end of the year that underlines how physically demanding the year was. The risk now is not just technical, it is mental. If Dallas wants him to be part of the long-term answer at corner, 2026 has to be about rebuilding his confidence and fundamentals with a full, healthy offseason, rather than repeating another season of trial by fire.
The Commanders fired OL coach Bobby Johnson on the same day they parted ways with former offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and are now promoting Johnson’s assistant OL coach to his old job. Darnell Stapleton is the Commanders new OL coach, and offensive quality control coach Shane Toub will be his new assistant.
10 questions John Harbaugh needs to answer as NY Giants introduce new head coach – Big Blue View
Second acts have been a mixed bag for successful coaches. Why are you confident this will work? No coach who has won a Super Bowl as coach of one team has ever done so as coach of a second team. Sean Payton of the Denver Broncos, who won one with the New Orleans Saints, has a chance to change that history this season. To do so, though, he will have to hope backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham can summon his best Jeff Hostetler impersonation after the unfortunate season-ending injury to Bo Nix. A high degree of success in one place does not, though, guarantee that same high level of success in another place. Andy Reid has had more success with the Kansas City Chiefs than he did with the Philadelphia Eagles. Tom Coughlin won both of his Super Bowl titles with the Giants, his second stop as an NFL head coach. Bill Belichick’s run with the New England Patriots followed a losing tenure with the Cleveland Browns. Mike McCarthy, Bill Parcells, Mike Shanahan and Mike Holmgren are all Super Bowl-winning coaches who not only did not win Super Bowls in a second stop, but did not win games nearly as often as they had. As hopeful as everyone is that Harbaugh’s hiring will change the fortunes of a franchise that has one playoff victory and just two playoff appearances in the last 14 years success in New York is not a certainty for Harbaugh.
Dolphins hire Jeff Hafley as head coach – The Phinsider
The Miami Dolphins are hiring Jeff Hafley as their new head coach. The hire comes after a week of virtual interviews with eight candidates and three in-person interviews. Hafley, the former defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers, joins Miami as he completed an in-person interview on Monday, following up a virtual meeting last week.
Robert Saleh is the new Tennessee Titans head coach, per reports – Music City Miracles
The Tennessee Titans are hiring former New York Jets head coach and former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as their next head coach, per reports. He had two interviews with the Titans this week. Saleh is expected to call the defensive plays. Saleh was one of two finalists for the job alongside Matt Nagy of the Kansas City Chiefs. Both were former head coaches in the NFL, and every head coach hire this cycle fits that description.
