On Thursday night, the Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a five-year deal with first-round pick Brandon Graham. The former Michigan standout becomes the seventh first-round pick from this year's class to reach a deal with their team and he's expected to report to training camp at Lehigh University on Friday.
Graham was selected by the Eagles with the 13th overall pick in this year's draft after an impressive four-year career with the Wolverines. He was considered one of the top defensive lineman in from the 2010 class and talented enough for Philadelphia to trade up 10 picks just so they could acquire him.
Throughout his high school [...]

With the first week of training camp almost complete, the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with first-round pick Brandon Graham. Sources indicate the two sides have agreed to a five-year deal for the former Michigan standout.
Graham was the last of the team's draft picks to sign after they agreed to terms with second-round pick Nate Allen on Tuesday. He was selected by the Eagles--who traded up to acquire the effective pass-rusher--with the 13th pick of the 2010 NFL Draft after an impressive career at Michigan. During his senior season, he led the nation with 26 tackles for a loss and was ranked 14th with 10.5 sacks.

Like many professional athletes, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek is expected to be one of the top players selected at his position in fantasy football leagues this upcoming season. After finishing with 76 receptions for 971 yards and eight touchdowns, many analysts expect Celek to emerge as a top five tight fantasy tight end now that his close friend--Kevin Kolb--has taken over the starting job at quarterback for the Eagles.
One of the reasons why Celek is a fan favorite in the City of Brotherly Love is because he loves to interact with his fans by frequently updating his Facebook Fan Page and Twitter status. As a reward to his [...]

When people think of the Cleveland Browns, players who come to mind are Josh Cribbs and Joe Thomas. Both players have been to multiple pro bowls. There's no denying the value of Thomas and Cribbs to the Browns.
Most Browns' fans are expecting big things from Jerome Harrison, Mohamed Massaquoi, Shaun Rogers, Eric Wright, Sheldon Brown and as well as rookies Joe Haden and Montario Hardesty. Last years first round pick, center Alex Mack, is also being counted heavily on in his second season.
Quarterback Jake Delhomme and tight end Ben Watson will both be in their first season with the Browns and much is expected from them. Linebackers Scott Fujita and Chris Gocong should both be solid additions as well.
Much is already known about who the team's key players should be but what [...]

Last season the Chicago Bears wide receivers showed a lot of potential. Johnny Knox was a fifth round pick out of Abilene Christian and Devin Aromasohodu spent a couple seasons on the Indianapolis Colts practice squad.They both excelled when they had a chance and this season their expected to do big things.
Now the two receivers will be a big part of the offense. Devin Aromashodu appeared in 10 games last season making 24 catches for 298 yards and four touchdowns. Aromashodu didn't get playing time until week 14 against [...]

With training camp just around the corner, the Philadelphia Eagles are one of those teams to keep an eye on in 2010. The team has enough talent--both on offense and defense--to make their third-straight trip to the postseason this year, but the recent departure of Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins have many believing the Eagles won't be able to compete with the rest of the NFC East.
The potential is there with Kevin Kolb, but many are hesitant towards saying the former Houston standout is ready to take on the full-time job at starting quarterback due to lack of experience. The Eagles have high [...]

The time between mini camp and training camp has become pretty boring for us Browns fans. Not much to write about. Not much happening. It hasn't always been that way.
Since Eric Mangini has taken over as coach of the Browns, there's not much to write about if it doesn't happen on the football field. The Browns have pretty much avoided the bad press plaguing a lot of NFL teams.
In the past, the Browns used to be one of those teams. For a while, Cleveland had their share of negative head lines. Those players are now no longer with the Browns. Replaced with quality leaders.
Last year when the Browns stumbled and bumbled to a 1-11 record, the team could have quit and no one would have blamed them. It didn't happen. No finger pointing just plenty of heart.
With their backs [...]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has been cooperating with police regarding the shooting that took place at his 30th birthday party early Friday morning, but a recent video from the nightclub could make this case even more complicated.
According to a recent report by Gregg Rosenthal of ProFootballTalk.com, the owner of the nightclub has a security video of Vick and some friends leaving three minutes before the first round of shots were fired. While this still doesn't mean he should be considered a prime suspect, the sudden change of time Vick left the party could make this investigation more [...]
