Welcome back Hank Baskett! The Eagles have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the wide receiver/reality TV star. More Hank also means more Kendra, which is nice.
Last season, Baskett got caught up in a numbers game involving the quarterback shuffle that occurred when Donovan busted a rib opening week, and Michael Vick was [...]

Stacy Andrews, Cornelius Ingram, Marlin Jackson. The Eagles really do have a strange fascination for players with damaged knees as of late. Torn ACLs aren’t as catastrophic as they once were, but I’d still rather have a guy with healthy ligaments.
The Birds brain trust doesn’t seem to share my sentiments. Here are five other dudes [...]

The three-day courtship with cornerback/safety Marlin Jackson is over. The Eagles inked him and his torn ACLs to a two-year contract today.
I loved this guy coming out of college, but you really have to wonder about how much he can give playing on bad knees. He does bring versatility, so maybe he’ll just be used [...]

Bye, bye Reggie Brown. Finally, his long nightmare in midnight green is over. The Eagles have unloaded Reg on the Tampa Bay Bucs, for what if being reported as a 6th-round draft pick in 2011.
Better later than sooner, right? Not surprisingly, this move comes on the same day that Jason Avant got himself a brand [...]

More good news on the Eagles restricted free agent front. On the heels of Leonard Weaver’s new contract last week, the Birds have also locked up wide receiver Jason Avant with a 5-year deal.
Avant, along with starters DeSean and Maclin, give the offense its best trio of pass catchers in a long time. Jason’s silky [...]

The Eagles really seem to like players with ripped up knees. As if Stacy Andrews wasn’t a big enough flop last year in free agency, the Birds are about to entertain the idea of bringing in a guy with not one, but two serious knee injuries. His name is Marlin Jackson, late of the Colts.
If [...]

According to NFL Net’s Jason La Canfora, the Eagles will pick up the $1.5 million option on Michael Vick due to him this week.
Now, this doesn’t mean they won’t trade him at some point, and there is rising sentiment that if he is dealt, it won’t be until preseason, when some needy team is desperate [...]

I’d call this a shocker. The Eagles have dumped linebacker Will Witherspoon less than six months after trading for him. As we all know, the Birds had a myriad of problems at the linebacker positions in 2009, so cutting Will, who was probably their best player, strikes me as strange.
Maybe they will bring him back [...]
