Bethel Johnson Cut
2007-06-06 07:46:00
Eagles B. Johnson cutAdam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports Philadelphia Eagles WR Bethel Johnson has been released from the team after failing his physical.*Well as speculated before, the stress fracture was a bad break for Bethel. You can't earn a roster spot when injured. The news that Jeremy Bloom has looked great, also hurt his case. I'm willing to bet he will get picked up by somebody after some injuries before the season starts. ...

Former Syracuse QB Patterson signs with EaglesPHILADELPHIA - Quarterback Perry Patterson, a three-year starter at Syracuse, signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday.Patterson threw for 1,865 yards and 12 touchdowns last season at Syracuse, Donovan McNabb's alma mater.McNabb isn't participating in the team's final minicamp , officially called organized team activities , because he's still recovering from surgery for a torn knee ligament. The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback could be ready for the start of training camp."He's getting closer. He's just trying to be smart with it and keep the swelling out of there, which he's done a great job with," coach Andy Reid said. "And, he's working like crazy. We're just taking little steps with it and being as cautious as we can and have him still be productive in his return."Patterson, 6-foot-4 and 242 pounds, gives the Eagles five quarterbacks on the roster, joining A.J. Feeley, Kelly Holcomb and rookie Kevin Kol ...

Draft Review: DE Victor Abiamiri
2007-06-02 07:13:00
Some people wonder, why the Eagles would select a defensive end in the second round., but not me. Jevon Kearse is now 30 years old, coming off a serious knee injury, and has been pretty much average on the field. Darren Howard is also 30, dealing with nagging injuries, and has not played well since the 04-05 season. Juqua Thomas is more of a situational pass rusher, and Jerome McDougle is just a flat out bust. The only young talented DE on the roster, is Trent Cole, and that is not very good for the future.So looking ahead as the Eagles often do with the draft, the Eagles selected Victor Abiamiri with the 57th pick in this years NFL draft. I like this pick a lot, and I hope he will be a force to deal with for many years. Abiamiri already brings has more of one thing, than any other defensive end on the team, and that is size. At 6'4" 270 lbs, he is the biggest of the group. That will hopefully improve the Eagles run defense, as he seems stout against the run. He will also be able to p ...

Undrafted Daniels Has a Shot to Start
2007-06-02 02:17:00
by Andrew ZuckermanComcastSportsNet.com ContributorWhen you hear an NFL player with a nickname like “Tank,” your first thought might be about how big or strong he is. That’s not the case with the Eagles’ Torrance Daniels though.Known to everyone as “Tank,” Daniels was no older than five when he received his nickname – from his older brother and his older brother’s friends, who noticed Daniels had an oversized head for someone so young.“Man, you got a tank head!” one of them blurted out.The nickname has stuck ever since.“Many times people think it’s because of something to do with sports, and it’s mainly because my head was huge as a little kid and my brother’s friends were just calling me tank head,” Daniels said, laughing.You wouldn’t expect someone with such an intimidating nickname to go through his playing career as an underdog. But Daniels has been doing it since college, and it is continuing now during minicamp.He played football at Division II Har ...

Draft Review: LB Stewart Bradley
2007-05-30 05:38:00
The Eagles finally outdid the Patriots in something. By selecting Stewart Bradley in the 3rd round, a player the Pats really coveted. After Bradley was gone, they then traded away their pick to Oakland. Bradley is a big physical SAM LB, and he is exactly what this team has needed ever since Carlos Emmons left. Dhani Jones was a black hole on the defense, and Bradley made him expendable. ...
