Big Play Slay only wants to come back for the EAGLES 🦅!
I don’t think the Eagles will be looking to sign Darius Slay after adding Riq Woolen and Jonathan Jones to the cornerback room. Maybe he’s an option if they get really hammered by injuries. Slay didn’t seem to play well last year with a 108.0 passer rating allowed before getting cut by the Steelers.
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …
Eagles, TE Dallas Goedert agree to terms on one-year deal – NFL.com
Some of the complication in working out a resolution with Goedert stemmed from Philadelphia’s need to also simultaneously juggle the future of wide receiver A.J. Brown, whose name has been bandied about in trade rumors and carries a cap hit of $23.4 million into 2026. Brown’s situation remains fluid in the wake of Goedert re-signing, per Rapoport and Garafolo.
Dallas Goedert, Eagles agree to new 1-year contract – BGN
The Eagles have nearly lost starting tight end Dallas Goedert to free agency more than once, but in 2026 he’ll return to Philadelphia on another one-year deal — this one worth $7 million, including $4.25 million signing bonus, according to ESPN. After pushing his contract void date twice, the two sides finally came to an agreement just before the Eagles were set to take a $20 million dead cap hit.
As Rams considered trading for A.J. Brown, they explored trading Davante Adams- PFT
Per a league source, the Rams — while talking about a possible trade for Brown — were pursuing the possibility of trading Adams. The Rams presumably were hoping to get a deal done by today, when a fully-guaranteed $6 million roster bonus came due. And the payment of the bonus likely means they’ll keep Adams and his $18 million base salary. Regardless, a week with a handful of interesting developments could have had two more: A.J. Brown traded to the Rams, and Davante Adams (the league leader in receiving touchdowns in 2025) traded to what would have been his fifth NFL team.
Eagles-only 2026 mock draft, version 3.0 – PhillyVoice
Round 1: Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia (6’7, 315). TRADE: Eagles send pick No. 23 in 2026, as well as third- and fourth-round picks in 2027 to the Jets for pick No. 16. Freeling was a popular projection to the Eagles at pick 23, but there’s little chance he’ll make it that far after crushing the Combine. In pass pro, Freeling has excellent feet, and can easily mirror/match opposing pass rushers. In the run game, he can execute difficult reach blocks, he’s effective on combo blocks, and he has the athleticism to track down linebackers and defensive backs in space down the field. He also has some nastiness to his game, and experience playing LT and RT. I hadn’t watched Freeling until his explosive Combine performance, but he is really good and the Eagles are certain to have interest.
11 still-available free agents who could interest Eagles – NBCSP
S Marcus Epps: The Eagles brought Epps back to the practice squad at the beginning of last season and he eventually landed on the 53-man roster and eventually needed to play. Epps played in 12 games with 4 starts for the Eagles last season and could be a low-cost replacement for Reed Blankenship, who left in free agency. Epps is 30 now but has played in 94 career games with 49 starts.
Top Cowboys needs that remain to fix what went wrong last season – Blogging The Boys
The trade for Rashan Gary gave the Cowboys a starter opposite Donovan Ezeiruaku and signing both Sam Williams and Tyrus Wheat provide much-needed depth. While those are all solid moves, none of them really provide much juice as pass rushers. There’s been rumors about trading for Jonathan Greenard, but so far there’s been little to no movement suggesting Dallas is interested. That pretty much leaves the draft, which fortunately has some solid options who could provide that juice if they draft one relatively early.
The question mark has been at left guard, where last year’s presumed starter, Brandon Coleman, was beaten out by 4th year guard, Chris Paul, who reached the end of his rookie contract at the end of the ‘25 season. Chris Paul is back!
NY Giants 4-round mock draft: Addressing the trenches in a different draft – Big Blue View
Round 1 (No. 5) — TRADE!! Giants get: Picks 9 and 40 (Value: 536 points, per the Rich Hill trade chart). Kansas City Chiefs get: Pick 5 (Value: 468 points). Full disclosure: Linebacker Sonny Styles, running back, Julian Love, and safety Caleb Downs were all on the board here. In the real world, there is almost no chance I am not picking Styles here. I’d be happy with Downs, too, if Styles was off the board. We are proposing scenarios here, though. The draft is still six weeks away, and we are looking at ways it “could” turn out rather than trying to peg exactly how it “will” turn out. So, I am leaving the Big 3 on the board here to explore another path and see how it turns out.
Bracketology 2026: FINAL – Blogging The Bracket
In the auto bid section of the field, Penn won an OT thriller to knock Yale out, 88-84, which shook up seed lines 12 through 15. The Bulldogs were slated to be a 12, but the Quakers are two lines lower. So, Northern Iowa moves up to the 12 line, while North Dakota State jumps back on to line 13. With South Florida beating Wichita State for the American crown, the Bulls remain on line 11.
March Madness bracket predictions: Instant picks for men’s 2026 NCAA tournament – SB Nation
This has been one of the best seasons of men’s college basketball in the recent history of the sport, and it’s setting up for what should be an all-time great NCAA tournament. There are four powerhouse teams leading the field. Can anyone knock off Duke, Florida, Michigan, and Arizona before the Final Four, or are we about to see all four No. 1 seeds win their regional for the second year in a row?
