Let’s dive into the Philadelphia Eagles news…
Howie Roseman and Tanner McKee’s Future
In Roob’s Observations: What would it take for Howie Roseman to trade Tanner McKee? – NBCSP
Recently, media had access to one OTA practice, an indoor session lasting 82 minutes that featured multiple individual drills. While not many conclusions could be drawn due to several veterans sitting out, one player stood out: Tanner McKee. With DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown absent for most drills, Jalen Hurts mainly threw short passes. However, McKee made a strong impression with impressive deep throws to receivers like Danny Gray and Terrace Marshall. Although it was only one practice with backup defensive backs, McKee exhibited considerable promise and accuracy. If he performs well during preseason, trade offers may come in for McKee, potentially including a first-round pick, which the Eagles should consider seriously. A second-round pick would be harder to part with, as it’s historically valuable for the team. The Eagles need a reliable backup QB, and shipping McKee off raises concerns about finding a trustworthy replacement.
The Dagger Moment
Reflections on “The Dagger” – BGN
It’s hard to believe they executed “The Dagger.” Named by broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt, this moment marks Jalen Hurts’ deep pass to DeVonta Smith during the Eagles’ 40-22 Super Bowl win against the Chiefs. While not the “greatest” play in Eagles history, it ranks high among significant NFL moments. Whenever I feel down, watching that play lifts my spirits instantly.
Cap Room Developments
Eleven NFL Teams Set to Gain Cap Room on June 2nd – Over The Cap
The Eagles are set to gain $6.42 million following the releases of Darius Slay and James Bradberry. Slay’s cap number decreases from $13.77 million to $9.44 million this year, while Bradberry’s drops from $4.86 million to $2.76 million. Depending on health, Bradberry might also receive an injury benefit. Following these releases, the Eagles could have $27 million in cap space, likely carrying most into 2026 to help future cap situations.
Confidence in Azeez Ojulari
Eagles Notes: Trade Signals Confidence in Ojulari – PhillyVoice
Ojulari represented the Eagles’ most notable free-agent signing this offseason, indicating the team’s faith in his potential as a valuable edge rusher. His performance during OTAs suggests an important role going forward, raising questions about whether the trade of Bryce Huff would have occurred without Ojulari’s positive observation.
Remaining Offseason Priorities

A key focus for the Eagles is solidifying their right guard position. With Mekhi Becton moving on, the competition remains open. Returning players Tyler Steen and Matt Pryor are vying for the spot, along with newcomers like Kenyon Green. As the team seeks to enhance their offensive line, this position remains a critical point of interest as they head into the season.
Huff’s New Opportunity
Bryce Huff’s New Chapter – Niners Nation
As Huff transitions to a new team, the shift from a 3-4 to a 4-3 scheme could be beneficial. While reuniting with Robert Saleh is promising, the critical factor may be how the scheme allows Huff to leverage his skills effectively. Ultimately, this could be a defining moment in his career based on the fit within the new system.
