Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images Philadelphia Eagles news and links for 4/30/24. Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ... J.J. McCarthy is the biggest winner from the 2024 NFL Draft by a mile - SB NationWinner: Philadelphia Eagles. Water is wet. The Eagles win again. It was a big weekend for teams in Pennsylvania, as the Eagles join their cousins in the west to dominate the board once more. Their back-to-back DB picks of Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean fix the biggest issue the Eagles have been having in their defense. This is a team without a ton of holes, and yet somehow they managed to plug all of them once more, picking value in the process, and trading around the board to amass more future draft capital. Cap it all off with the feel-good pick of Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 5th and this was just a monster haul.

Eagles waive 4 players

Photo by Andy Lewis/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Roster news. The Philadelphia Eagles cut the following four players on Monday, according to the NFL’s official transaction report: DT Noah Elliss WR/TE Griffin Hebert CB Tiawan Mullen OL Lecitus Smith They are all subject to waivers, so, we’ll soon see if they get claimed. All four players were fighting uphill battles to make the 53-man roster. Elliss may have had the best chance to make the team since the Eagles could some use more depth at nose tackle. But apparently not. Prior to these cuts, the Eagles had 78 players on their roster (including Mekhi Becton, who OFFICIALLY signed on Monday) ... PLUS nine unsigned draft picks to make it 87 players under team control. Cutting these four guys clears up room for the Eagles to sign their undrafted rookie free agents, of which there are reportedly seven. And that, for the time being, maxes the Eagles out at the 90-player offseason limit. Bo

Report: Ninth pick from the 2017 NFL Draft is attending Eagles rookie minicamp on a tryout basis
By:

Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images Interesting. The Philadelphia Eagles are set to host free agent wide receiver John Ross — the No. 9 overall pick from the 2017 NFL Draft — at the NovaCare Complex during their upcoming rookie minicamp. Ross will be attending practices on a tryout basis, according to a report from NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Ross, who’s somehow only 28, hasn’t played in the NFL since the 2021 season. He retired from football last July after participating in just a few training camp practices with the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s not extremely common for recognizable veterans to participate in rookie minicamps but it’s also not totally unheard of. Some players have seemingly tried to use it as a way to remind teams of their existence (see: Riley Cooper’s unsurprisingly failed attempt in 2017). The Eagles showed a lot of interest in Ross leading up to the 2017 NFL Draft. He was one of five players they

Report: Jason Kelce is joining ESPN

Photo by Ryan Kang/Getty Images The Eagles legend will still be on your TV this fall. Just in a different way. Jason Kelce is joining ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” — the network’s “Monday Night Football” pregame show — following his retirement from playing in the NFL, according to a report from The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand. It was previously reported that Kelce was drawing interest from major networks, ESPN included. It comes as a surprise to exactly no one that he was in high demand. While Philadelphia Eagles fans will certainly miss seeing Kelce on the field, it’ll still be nice to hear from him ahead of weekly primetime football games. There’s no doubt that Kelce will crush it as an analyst who brings valuable perspective and insight to the table. It’ll be especially enjoyable to hear from him ahead of an Eagles MNF game(s). That being said, one can wonder if ESPN is maximizi

2024 NFL Mock Draft Grades: Scoring the experts

APR

Eric Seals / USA TODAY NETWORK Wrapping up mock draft season The 2024 NFL Draft has come and gone, and with it mock draft season is over. Some may memory hole mock drafts, but we don’t. We keep receipts. This year we scored 50 mock drafters, a collection of national draft analysts, mock drafters, and a handful of off the radar mock drafters who scored well or have scored well in the Huddle Report’s “everyone gets a gold star” scoring system. I also include Arif Hasan’s big board as a sort of control sample; and Mike Florio because he purposely mails it in; if you can’t beat him, that’s sad. The scoring system is simple. For every number of picks a mock is off, that mock drafter gets a point. So if someone mocked Kingsley Suamataia to the Chiefs at 32, they got 31 points because he went 63rd overall; if someone mocked Drake Maye to the Commanders at 2, they received 1 inconsequential point because he went 3rd.

Photo by John Smolek/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Reviewing all nine picks. The 2024 NFL Draft is officially in the books. Three days and nine picks later and the Philadelphia Eagles have a new class of rookies. Here is all you need to know and all you can look forward to with the Eagles’ brand new players. Quinyon Mitchell, Cornerback, Toledo Height: 6’0” Weight: 195 Pounds Most Important Stat: Most forced incompletions in the FBS over the last two seasons (per Pro Football Focus) What he can do: Quinyon Mitchell was a lockdown cornerback for the Rockets over the last two seasons. The combination of his size, smarts, and athleticism made him extremely difficult to get receptions on. He thrived in off-man coverage where he could rely on his recognition skills and his burst to close on the ball. He is also a very physical player who is unafraid to make tackles against the run. Concerns about level of competition and ability to play

The Linc - Zeke returns to the NFC East

Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports Philadelphia Eagles news and links for 4/29/24. Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ... Ezekiel Elliott returning to Dallas Cowboys, ‘wheels in motion’ last week with no running back drafted - Blogging The BoysThere is no question that Zeke is a beloved member of Cowboys franchise history, but he was not exactly a productive player last season. We will see how big of a role he will command with the team but he enters a running back room currently occupied by Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn and Royce Freeman. Tom Pelissero, who broke the news with NFL Network, makes it seem like in his initial tweet that the Cowboys at least partly... strategically did not draft a running back this past weekend based on preliminary talks with Elliott. If that is indeed the case that is quite the choice of process. Mekhi Becton, Eagles reportedly agree to one-year contract - BGNThe Eagles didn’t end up drafting an off

Mekhi Becton, Eagles reportedly agree to one-year contract

The Eagles weren’t able to draft a tackle this year, so they went and signed one who has NFL experience. The Eagles didn’t end up drafting an offensive tackle, opting instead to stick to their board and get defensive players early, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t still looking for one. A day after the end of the 2024 NFL Draft, Howie Roseman decided to sign a former first-round pick (No. 11 overall) in Mekhi Becton. Becton will sign a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, all pending a physical. He will give the Eagles some depth as a swing tackle behind starters Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson. Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland was a proponent of signing Mekhi Becton. And if and when he passes his physical, Becton officially will report to Stoutland U. https://t.co/hrj9cx9WMa— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 28, 2024 Becton missed all but one game for the Jets in 2021 and 2022 due to knee surgeries, and then
