Eagles: Hargrave, Edwards, Epps are on the move; Kelce returns for 13th season

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Eagles: Hargrave, Edwards, Epps are on the move; Kelce returns for 13th season

Last season, the Philadelphia Eagles had a loaded roster, which helped them become NFC champions and play in Super Bowl 57, but that roster took a hit on the opening day of NFL free agency.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, former Eagles Pro Bowl DT Javon Hargrave has reached an agreement on a four-year, $84 million deal that includes $40 million guaranteed at signing with the San Francisco. 49ers.

Last season, Hargrave, who started 20 games(including playoffs) recorded a career-high 11.0 sacks, which helped Philadelphia record a league-leading 70 sacks in the regular season. The 49ers already had a stout defense and an excellent defensive line, and the addition of Hargrave makes their defensive line and defense even better next season.

Hargrave, 30, joined the Eagles in 2020 as a free agent when he signed a three-year, $39 million deal after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Steelers. The seven-year veteran spent three seasons in Philadelphia.

Without Hargrave, the Eagles hope that DT Jordan Davis can step up next season.

Edwards goes to Chicago

Former Eagles LB T.J. Edwards has reportedly signed with the Chicago Bears. According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Edwards gets $19.5M over three years, with $12 million guaranteed. 

The 26-year-old had a breakout season in 2022. Edwards, who started all 20 games for the Eagles last season, including the playoffs, had a career-high 159 tackles in the regular season.

He spent four seasons in Philadelphia after joining the team as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2019. 

As of now, Philadelphia is hoping LB Nakobe Dean can replace Edwards.

Epps is headed to Las Vegas

According to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Raiders are signing former Eagles safety Marcus Epps to a two-year, $12 million deal with nearly $8 million guaranteed.

Last season, the 27-year-old Epps started all 20 games for Philadelphia, and according to ESPN’s Stats & Info, Epps played 1,058 defensive snaps, the most by any Eagles player in 2022.

Epps was claimed off waivers by the Eagles in 2019 after playing eight games with the Vikings.

He spent four seasons in Philadelphia.

Kelce returns!

In some good news for the Eagles, Pro Bowl center Jason Kelce announced that he would return for next season and play his 13th season in Philadelphia.

Kelce, 35, went to his sixth Pro Bowl last season and was selected All-Pro for the fifth time in his career. Kelce has not missed a game for the last eight seasons and is still playing at a very high level.

Here’s how Kelce announced his return:

“I have put much thought into whether it makes sense to play another season. After talking it over with my wife and many other friends and family, I have decided to return for another year. Thank you to all my supporters and detractors for fueling me, I ain’t fu***** done yet!”

All deals can become official on March 15.

Raiders, Jaguars to play in 2022 Hall of Fame Game

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Raiders, Jaguars to play in 2022 Hall of Fame Game

The Las Vegas Raiders will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2022 Hall of Fame Game at 8 p.m. ET Thursday, Aug. 4 during Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week.

The matchup, which kicks off the National Football League’s 103rd season in the city where the League was born, will take place in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium – adjacent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The game marks the fourth appearance by the Raiders and the second for the Jaguars. The previous Hall of Fame Game for the Jaguars was the franchise’s first NFL game.

Raiders greats Cliff Branch and Richard Seymour, along with Jaguars legend Tony Boselli will be enshrined two days later as members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022. LeROY Butler, Art McNally, Sam Mills, Dick Vermeil, and Bryant Young also will be enshrined at the annual ceremony, which this year will occur Saturday, Aug. 6, inside Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.

The 2022 Hall of Fame Game will be the debut for head coach Josh McDaniels with the Raiders – and a homecoming. A Canton native, McDaniels played his home high school football games at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium when the facility was known as Fawcett Stadium. Doug Pederson, who guided the Philadelphia Eagles to a win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII, will be making his first game appearance as head coach of the Jaguars.

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Jaguars sign ‘Hard Knocks’ star Keelan Doss, two others to practice squad

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced today that they have signed three more players to their practice squad: LB Deshaun Davis, WR Keelan Doss, and OT Blake Hance.

Doss, who signed with the Raiders as an undrafted rookie free agent after his college career at UC Davis, was a big star on HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” and was a surprising cut by the Raiders.

The Jaguars currently have nine players on their practice squad: OL Ka’John Armstrong, Davis, Doss, Hance, CB Tae Hayes, RB Elijah Hood, TE Charles Jones, WR Michael Walker, and CB Brandon Watson.

The Jaguars still have one remaining opening on their 10-man practice squad.

Raiders benefit from no call on fumble(VIDEO)

Categories Uncategorized

Jon Gruden and the Oakland Raiders got their first victory of the 2018 NFL season on Sunday as they beat the Browns 45-42 in OT at the Oakland Alameda Coliseum, but after what happened in the 4th quarter of this game, Browns fans are probably not happy with referee Walt Anderson.

With the Browns leading 35-34, Raiders QB Derek Carr appears to fumble the ball after being sacked by Cleveland’s Myles Garrett. The fumble was scooped up by the Brown’s Larry Ogunjobi, who would have had an excellent chance to score a touchdown, but referee Walt Anderson blew the play dead. He ruled that Carr was down by contact. However, the ball was clearly out before he blew his whistle.

Take a look:

Officials are not perfect, and the rules are confusing, but in the end, they have to do better!
