Busy Day For Eagles Includes Trade, Two Of Their Super Bowl Winners Retire

4 days ago | si.com | Ed Kracz

Bryce Huff is officially now an ex-Eagle, after Philadelphia sent him to San Fracisco for a mid-round pick, which is yet to be revealed. It was a short and rocky saga for a player the Eagles had hoped would bolster their pass rush last year when they signed Huff to a three-year, $51 million free-agent contract. Huff played in just 12 games, had wrist surgery, and was inactive for Super Bowl LIX. He had just 2.5 sacks and 13 tackles while playing just 37 percent of the defensive snaps.
Eagles Star Is Teaching Alabama's Teenage Sensation "To Punch Adversity In Mouth"

DeVonta Smith may show up when the Eagles open their second OTA this week. Or he may not. They are voluntary, but he isn’t sitting on his couch doing nothing. According to DJ Siddiqi in a story for Esports Insider, Smith has been working out with Alabama standout receiver Ryan Williams, who turned the college football world upside down last year as a 17-year-old freshman, with eight touchdown catches and 865 yards receiving.
From Project To Projected Eagles Starter: “I'm Expecting To Do What's Expected '

He was considered a project when he was picked within the top 100 of last year’s draft as the 94th player taken overall. Now, Jalyx Hunt is projected to start on the edge for the Eagles. It’s an edge that got a little thinner with the reported trade of Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers, a move reported on Friday but won’t become official until Sunday. Hunt isn’t going in with the mindset that he will start. “I'm expecting to do what's expected of me,” he said.
Even Eagles Howie Roseman Makes Mistake As Bryce Huff Signing Shows

1 week ago | si.com | Ed Kracz

PHILADELPHIA – Howie Roseman found a taker for Bryce Huff. We should’ve known the Eagles general manager would, and we probably should have known that the taker would be defensive-minded Robert Saleh, who was the head coach of the New York Jets during Huff’s most productive season, and now the defensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers. The deal won’t go through until Sunday when Huff’s contract becomes more palatable for Philadelphia. His departure also opens up jersey 0. Who gets it?
It's Kevin Patullo's Turn to Do Something That Hasn't Happened Lately For Eagles

1 week ago | si.com | Ed Kracz

PHILADELPHIA – Kevin Patullo certainly carried himself like an NFL head coach when he met with reporters for the first time as the Eagles offensive coordinator. Left tackle Jordan Mailata called him “a great communicator,” and he certainly seemed that when he took his place behind a microphone on the stage inside the team’s training facility at the NovaCare Complex earlier in the week.

For a change of pace, the Eagles went from the practice football fields and meeting rooms to the basketball court on Friday, kickstarting the Memorial Day holiday.

Stability Key To Jalen Hurts' Success - Offensive Coordinators Aside

2 weeks ago | si.com | Ed Kracz

PHILADELPHIA – Much is made about offensive coordinators that walk in and out of Jalen Hurts’ career almost most every year. What isn’t talked about enough is the stability that surrounds him elsewhere. When Hurts arrived in 2020 as the 53rd overall pick, his offensive line was ready-made, with tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata in place, and future Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Kelce was his center. Dallas Goedert was entrenched as the tight end.
Eagles Jalen Hurts Has Another Coach - And It’s Not An Offensive Coordinator

2 weeks ago | kentucky.com | Ed Kracz

PHILADELPHIA – Offensive coordinators have walked in and out of Jalen Hurts' career for as far as back as his college days at Alabama and Oklahoma, and, once again, he will have a new one this year with Kevin Patullo taking over for Kellen Moore, who left to be the head coach of the New Orleans Saints. An under-the-radar transient figure in Hurts' career has been his quarterback coach. That has changed regularly, too. When Hurts was drafted in 2020, Press Taylor was the QB coach for Doug Pederson.

PHILADELPHIA – Shortly after Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl LIX MVP by putting up 292 yards of total offense and accounting for four touchdowns – two passing and two rushing – the Eagles quarterback talked about his unprecedented journey to stand at the top of the mountain. Everyone should be familiar with it by now.
