It's been a little over three weeks since the Philadelphia Eagles officially began their 2010 offseason after a 34-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and already Donovan McNabb trade talks seem to be a more popular discussion than whether or not Brett Favre will retire.
Nine Eagles were named to last weekend's Pro Bowl in Miami--including McNabb, who made his sixth appearance since Drew Brees will be playing with the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV against the Indianapolis Colts.
As expected, McNabb's future with the [...]

In a game where neither team's defense seemed to show up, Chris Johnson scored the game-winning touchdown with just under six minutes remaining to give the AFC a 41-34 win over the NFC in the 2010 Pro Bowl. For the Philadelphia Eagles, they sent nine representatives after finishing the season 11-5 before losing to the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
No players may of had more attention focused on them in the 2010 Pro Bowl from the Eagles than quarterback Donovan McNabb and wide receiver DeSean Jackson. While McNabb trade rumors have been swirling since the team's loss to the Cowboys, Jackson has been making headlines about wanting a [...]

The Philadelphia Eagles have a handful of tasks on their agenda for the 2010 offseason. However, no task may be more important than trying to negotiate a deal to keep free agent wide receiver Jason Avant around for not only next season, but for the long run.
Throughout the first three years of his career with the Eagles, Avant was the type of player whose impact seemed under the radar. He was one of the most reliable 3rd-down players in the NFL, yet never seemed to be recognized for the credit deserved.
After 2009, Avant showed how important of a role he can play in the Eagles' offense and making his case to receive a long-term deal this offseason. He set [...]

Exactly three months from today, the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft will take place with the Philadelphia Eagles holding the 24th overall pick after reaching the postseason for the eighth time in 11 seasons under head coach Andy Reid. After a 34-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild-Card round, the Eagles know there are plenty of areas that need improvement this offseason, beginning with the defense.
Philadelphia knew entering the 2009 season the type of adjustment they would have to make on defense.
Not only did they part ways with safety Brian Dawkins--a rare leader who was the heart and soul of the defense--but they suffered [...]

In my first installment of my 2010 NFL Mock draft I received a lot of comments with people speaking out about two or three of my picks. Mainly Tim Tebow going sixth to the Seattle Seahawks, Gerald McCoy 12th to the Miami Dolphins and Jahvid Best 21st to the New York Jets.
So far no new big names have thrown their name into the 2010 draft pool. However I would like to point out that UW quarterback Jake Locker IS NOT going to be in the 2010 mock draft. I have seen at least five or more mock drafts in the last few days with Locker still in them.
So with that being said [...]

Before Sunday's playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb knew he was on the hot seat. Unfortunately, the 34-14 loss increased the temperature of his seat to an uncomfortable level.
While Eagles head coach Andy Reid announced McNabb will be his starting quarterback next season two days after the recent playoff loss to the Cowboys, Philadelphia fans seem to be unhappy with the decision. For some, Sunday's loss to Dallas was the final straw in the 11 seasons of disappointment during the McNabb era.
Seven playoff appearances with a 10-8 record. Five NFC Championship appearances in eight seasons. [...]

For the second time in less than a week, the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboys Stadium. The only difference this time is the game is do-or-die for both teams as the winner advances to the Divisional round of the playoffs while the loser begins their 2010 offseason.
If any of the two teams should be worried, it should be Philadelphia considering Dallas has won both matchups this season--including a 24-0 victory last Sunday to clinch their second NFC East title in three years. The Cowboys' defense has also held the Eagles to just one touchdown this season.
Saturday's game between the Eagles and Cowboys [...]

This was the last situation the Philadelphia Eagles wanted to experience at the end of the season; a loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17 to lose the NFC East title. Not to mention their missed opportunity as the No. 2 seed in the NFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs.
There's no doubt how much the loss to the Cowboys hurts for not only the Eagles, but their fans that seem to ride this same roller coaster each season. Philadelphia gets hot towards the end of the season and seems to be one of the favorites in the NFC entering postseason play. Once they get to that point where it seems [...]

In a game that ended up being a lot closer than it should have been, the Philadelphia Eagles came through with a field goal with just a few seconds to spoil Brian Dawkins' homecoming in a 30-27 win over the Denver Broncos. With the win, the Eagles not only kept their playoff hopes alive, but still have a chance at the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the postseason thanks to the Chicago Bears win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Eagles lose 17-point lead in second half
After Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Donovan McNabb halfway through the third quarter to make it a 27-10 game, [...]
