    Regardless of whether the Seahawks or Patriots win Super Bowl LX, a former Eagles player or coach will get a championship ring.

  • Hurts, McKee, Pickett & Grier! The QB Factory Is Back! – Philadelphia Sports Nation

    Hurts, McKee, Pickett & Grier! The QB Factory Is Back! – Philadelphia Sports Nation

    [ad_1]

    The Eagles have acquired their 2nd Quarterback of the free agency period.

    While they had to trade a pair of 2025 7th round picks and drop from 98th to the 120th pick in this years draft when acquiring Pickett from Pittsburgh last week.

    It was only a day later when the Steelers announced they had traded a 2025 6th round pick for Bears QB Justin Fields. Some had wanted the Eagles to pursue Fields as an Eagles backup. However, with only 1 year under contract before a $25.6M 5th-year option (which the Eagles would most likely not pick up).

    Going after Pickett for 2 years with only $4.6M guaranteed is very similar to when they traded a 2022 6th round pick for 2 years of Gardner Minshew, who only cost the Eagles $3.39M.

    With the following Quarterbacks under contract for multiple years

    • Jalen Hurts (2029)
    • Tanner McKee (2027)
    • Kenny Pickett (2027)

    You’d think they’d be done with the QB market.

     

    Until the QB factory opened its doors.

     

    4th QB On The Roster

     

    There’s nothing to blow out of proportion with the Eagles signing Will Grier. Who will most likely be the 4th QB on the depth chart.

    After Grier spent 2 seasons in Dallas he found himself signed to the Chargers practice squad last December, ending up with Eagles new OC Kellen Moore again. Moore is probably the biggest reason why the Eagles made this move. Bringing in a familiar face for a new system, and will bring competition to both Tanner McKee and Kenny Pickett.

     

    Long Way Till Final Roster Cuts

    Much like the Eagles signing of DeVante Parker, there’s no guarantee we’ll see Grier make it through 53-man roster cuts and could end up on the practice squad. So there’s no reason to overreact to the Eagles weekend signing. We’re a long way from the August deadline.

     

    With the additions of LB Oren Burks, DT P.J. Mustipher, CB Tyler Hall, WR Parris Campbell, between the QB moves this week. The Eagles depth chart is being rounded out with over a month until the 2024 Draft, where the Eagles still hold three picks in the top 55. And have previously made outstanding moves in the draft, including last years Day 3 trade for D’Andre Swift.

     

    As we inch closer and closer to April 25th, who do you expect the Eagles to announce with the 22nd overall pick?

  • Eagles sign CB Tyler Hall

    According to the NFL transaction report, the Philadelphia Eagles have signed defensive back Tyler Hall.

    The Falcons signed Hall as an undrafted rookie out of Wyoming in 2020. He appeared in 9 games as a rookie, making 6 tackles. In 2021, he played for the Rams, where he appeared in 4 games (no stats), but with no snaps in the regular defense. In 2022 and 2023, Hall played for the Raiders. He had 20 tackles and 4 pass breakups in 2022, and 20 tackles in 2023. It’s perhaps also noteworthy that he averaged 31.7 yards per kick return in college with a pair of return TDs (shown here), but he has not yet been used as a returner in the NFL.

    Hall measured in at 5’8, 183 in 2020 at Wyoming’s pro day, where he ran a 4.41 40. The Raiders listed him last season at 5’10, 190. Hall has played almost exclusively in the slot during his four NFL seasons, and will very likely play there for the Eagles during the spring and summer. He’ll have a chance to make the team out of training camp, but is certainly not guaranteed a roster spot.

    After Avonte Maddox got hurt last season, the Eagles tried to replace him with a half dozen different players in the slot — James Bradberry, Mario Goodrich, Bradley Roby, Josiah Scott, Sydney Brown, and Eli Ricks. All of those guys even started games in the slot, with the exception of Ricks.

    “I’ve got to do a better job of bringing in more guys to be able to play that position,” Howie Roseman said at the NFL Combine.

    The Eagles will likely continue to add players to the mix at the slot corner position.
