Agholor is slated to make $9.4 million on his fifth-year option this season, which is a lot for the guy who seems like the odd man out in Philly’s pass-catching corps. The Eagles used 12 personnel (two receivers, two tight ends, and one running back) on a league-high 36 percent of their snaps last year, and that number will only increase as second-year tight end Dallas Goedert’s role expands. With Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson getting most of the snaps in two-receiver sets, Agholor will likely be relegated to the no. 3 job—while costing the team nearly $10 million. With only around $5 million in projected cap space next season, Philly has to consider its cost-cutting options, and Agholor seems like the safest bet. [...] Halapoulivaati Vaitai, T, Eagles: Big V has been vital for the Eagles over the past few seasons, filling in whenever legendary left tackle Jason Peters or right tackle Lane Johnson have missed time with injuries. But after Philly drafted pass-blocking specialist Andre Dillard in the first round this year, and given that Vaitai is in the final year of his deal, the Eagles could listen to offers. Capable tackles rarely become available, and with a base salary of only $2 million, Vaitai would be cheaper than most swing tackles around the league and could be an upgrade for several teams as a starter.Eagles Mailbag: Nelson Agholor’s future Womens Jake Elliott Jersey , Zach Ertz trade question, Mike Scott comparison, and much more - BGNWell, I’ll start by saying there’s a non-zero chance he’s not even on the roster by the end of the season. Agholor getting traded isn’t a likely outcome but there’s a non-zero chance. The Eagles are paying $9.4 million to a slot receiver in the final year of his deal ... at a time when they might be cutting back on their 11 personnel to play with more two tight end sets. Does it really seem impossible that they’d move him?There is talent aplenty on the Eagles roster, and here are some dynamic duos - Football MavenCarson Wentz and DeSean Jackson. These two looked to be on the same page from the first day of spring practice, and it’s going to be fun to watch Wentz air it out to the human blur Jackson still is at 32. Signed for three seasons, Jackson and Wentz should be a fun watch. Jackson has led the league in yards per reception four times, including last year when he averaged 18.9 yards per catch. His 17.4 career yards per catch is more than any other active receiver. My first play from scrimmage this season in the opener against one of Jackson’s former teams, the Washington Redskins, I’m sending him deep and letting Wentz let it fly.Eagles All-2010s Team: Picking and debating the full 53-man roster - The AthleticStarters – Brandon Graham and Trent Cole. If there’s one thing I know about defenses in the National Football League today, it’s that they have to be multiple. But we’re sticking with a 4-3 because, aesthetically, that’s how the Eagles should always play defense. And that means that Connor Barwin is a victim of circumstance. Could we reclassify this as “Edge”? Sure. And he was very productive for the Eagles, with 31.5 sacks in four seasons, including 14.5 in 2014, when he went to the Pro Bowl. I would love to find a place on the team for Barwin, but even though Graham may offer less pass-rush upside Derek Barnett Jersey , he did make the most important play in Philadelphia history. Cole may be one of the most nationally underrated Eagles of all time. Meanwhile, joining Barwin as the only player to make a Pro Bowl with the Eagles this decade and not make this roster is Jason Babin. I have no regrets about his exclusion.2019 NFL season: Finding homes for top remaining free agents - NFL.comJay Ajayi, RB, to the Indianapolis Colts. The question of whether or not Ajayi will be ready by Week 1 after suffering an ACL tear last October could be tempering interest in a veteran back who averaged a robust 5.1 yards per carry over 11 games with the Eagles in 2017 and ‘18. Presuming Ajayi is able to return to health, he would be a logical fit with the Colts, given his familiarity with head coach Frank Reich. (Reich was Ajayi’s offensive coordinator in Philadelphia, where he was traded by Miami in ‘17.) Only six people in NFL history have more 200-yard rushing games than Ajayi (three), and when he’s 100 percent, he can contribute as both a runner and a receiver. It would make sense for the Colts to give him a look.How far can Eagles go this season?

Washington has reportedly experienced a “mass exodus” of employees since January. A large share of departures coming from the business end of the organization, per Russell.”I’ve been told this by multiple http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-ronald-darby-jersey , multiple people. Almost 40 people have left, behind the scenes,” Russell said on Wednesday. “We’re not talking about football players or coaches or anything like that. ... Nobody wants to work there. It’s a terrible culture.”Redskins’ Josh Norman runs with bulls in Pamplona - ESPNWashington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman fulfilled a dream by taking part in the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, this week. Video shows Norman leaping over a bull inside a bullring during the event. Afterward, Norman posted videos on his Instagram stories, saying a number of times that the experience was “crazy.” ”I had to face the bull straight on,” he said. “It was fun. It was worth it. It was really worth it.Former NFL player, head coach Walt Michaels dead at 89 - PFTMichaels played one more game with the Jets in 1963 while serving as the team’s defensive coordinator and won a Super Bowl ring after helping the team overcome the Colts in Super Bowl III. He moved to the Eagles in the same role from 1973 to 1975 and returned to the Jets in 1976.Which NWSL team should I cheer for? - SB NationIf you’ve just started following women’s soccer after the US’s victory in France (welcome!) you’ll need a NWSL team to support when the stars come back home to their domestic league.

Watt and Jadeveon Clowney are chasing after him.No matter the pressure, he usually stays calm and plays with poise.The Philadelphia Eagles are again counting on Foles to win high-stakes games. Foles, who was 3-0 in the playoffs last season, led the 14-point underdog Eagles to a victory on the road against the Rams last week to keep them in the playoff race.He has to do it again Sunday when the Eagles (7-7) host the Houston Texans (10-4).“Because I’ve done those things doesn’t guarantee me anything when I step on the field next time,” Foles said about his recent success. “Every time you step on the field, it’s a new game.”Foles is starting because Carson Wentz has a stress fracture in his back. He replaced Wentz last December after a knee injury ended his season. The Eagles already were the No. 1 seed in the NFC at that time. Now they’re desperate to stay in the mix.“We’re fighting for our lives right now. It’s a little different for us, different feel Womens Chris Long Jersey ,” coach Doug Pederson said.Having Foles around is a confidence-booster for the team.“Obviously, he’s been a starter in this league before, so that’s something that he’s comfortable with, and he just understands the plan and goes and executes,” Pederson said. “He just wants to win. He doesn’t care about credit and all that. He wants to win, and he’s helped us do that.”The Texans are closing in on an AFC South title and looking to secure a first-round bye. It’ll be a tough challenge on the road and they know Foles is no ordinary backup.“He’s a good player, he’s smart, he knows what he’s doing,” said Watt, who has 14½ sacks after playing only eight games the previous two seasons because of injuries. “He does great things. He can move around a little bit, he knows the system, he knows the guys, knows how to find the open guy and get it to him. He does a great job.”Unlike the Eagles, the Texans fell apart after losing their star quarterback last season. They were 1-8 without Deshaun Watson, who tore a knee ligament in the seventh game. Watson has been outstanding since his return and has Houston on the verge of a playoff berth.“Everything he’s put himself through to be in a position to where he’s at today, I can really appreciate that,” Pederson said.Here’s some things to look for when the Texans seek their first win over the Eagles in five tries:SIMPLE AND BALANCEDThe Eagles cut back on their pre-snap movement on offense and committed to running the ball in their 30-23 win over the Rams. All three touchdowns were on running plays Wendell Smallwood Jersey , two by Wendell Smallwood and one for rookie Josh Adams.GETTING DEFENSIVEAlready missing three-fourths of their starting secondary and starting nickel cornerback Sidney Jones, the Eagles got a big boost when rookie Avonte Maddox returned to play outside cornerback against the Rams. Maddox and second-year pro Rasul Douglas had strong performances to help limit a high-powered offense. They’ll face another difficult challenge going against DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas.KICKING EDGETexans kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn leads the NFL with 34 field goals and has made 12 in a row, including all five tries in a win over the Jets on the road last week.“His ability to be able to make all of the different types of kicks that you need to make, especially in outdoor games on the East Coast, it’s very important,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said. “He’s a very talented kicker.”DOUBLE TROUBLEThe Eagles are going with more formations featuring tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert on the field together and using two wide receivers and one running back. It helps to create matchup advantages and also improves blocking in the run game.“That personnel for them with (Goedert) and Ertz on the field at the same time is very challenging. No doubt,” O’Brien said.LEADING THE WAYHopkins leads the AFC and is third in the NFL with 1,321 yards receiving and he ranks third in the AFC with 11 TD catches. He has 507 career receptions, the second-youngest player (26 years, 6 months, 9 days) to reach 500 behind Larry Fitzgerald (26 years, 2 months, 29 days).“There’s a lot of people that I look up to in those categories that are wearing the yellow jacket right now that I’ve passed,” Hopkins said. “So, of course that means a lot to me.”___ AP Sports Writer Kristie Rieken in Houston contributed to this report.
