An interesting trend in this year's class of NF Draft WRs.

The #Eagles look for athleticism at safety in the draft. How does this year's class measure up?

@Sam_Finkel went "Inside The Data" with @GeoffPMosher to size up the #NFLDraft safety class: https://t.co/qpFYN5CuTU

Good news for #Eagles if they're looking for a Lane Johnson successor:

Can't logically believe in Malik Willis and not Will Levis.

Levis beat Willis in a camp competition
Levis produced better on the same team in 2024
Willis left Tennesee and looked much, much better
Cam Ward, unanimous 1st overall pick, replaced Levis and produced even worse than Levis did despite an upgraded roster and coaching staff

I hope Will get s a shot to prove it somewhere.

Make sure you catch the latest "Inside The Data" with @Sam_Finkel, who breaks down the salary cap jump for 2026 and what that will mean for the #Eagles and some of their contracts – including A.J. Brown's.

ICYMI: @Sam_Finkel looked at expectations for under center, motion and play action in the #Eagles offense under new OC Sean Mannion.

[Deniz Selman @denizselman33]

The best #SuperBowl champion of the century by combined EPA/Drive (regular season & playoffs excluding garbage time) is still the 2024 #Eagles.

This year's Seahawks rank 9th out of the 26 champions.

[Jeff Stoutland @CoachStoutland]

Philadelphia,

I’ve decided my time coaching with the Eagles has come to an end.

When I arrived here in 2013, I did not know what I was signing up for. I quickly learned what this city demands. But more importantly, what it gives back.

The past 13 years have been the great privilege of my coaching career. I didn’t just work here, I became one of you.

Stout out

[Johnny JP Petrishen @jP5_ERA]

He’s climbed the ladder faster than anyone in the coaching world. This guy was a GA at PSU when I was there, lowest guy on the totem pole. Drawing cards, making cut ups, running the scout team, filling coffee. Now he’s 1/32….. just keep going! Respect

[Bill Colarulo @BillColarulo]

The Jalen Hurts discourse in this city is broken. You’re either a blind supporter or labeled a hater.

The truth? He’s a good QB, a winning QB, a franchise leader — but also a QB with limitations like everyone else.

It’s not a coincidence that four different offensive coordinators have adjusted their offenses to fit his strengths and limitations. Can he improve? Of course. And he will certainly put in the work to do so.

But pretending OC candidates don’t have concerns about scheme fit is naive. Acknowledging that doesn’t make you anti-Hurts. It makes you realistic.

[Inside The Birds @InsideBirds]

Was the #Eagles' Super Bowl run foiled by a statistical outliers?

@Sam_Finkel came with some amazing historical data about the Eagles' 23-19 loss to the #49ers in a Wild Card game, in the final "Inside The Data" of the '25 season: https://t.co/cw2OPLlisl
