After trading Sydney Brown and reshaping the roster throughout free agency, we’re asking the big question: are the Eagles quietly building something new or falling behind in the NFC?Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Nolan Smith Jr.'s 5th year option is a no-brainer at $15M — but can he deliver? McMullen says Jalyx Hunt's upside has surpassed Nolan as a pass rusher. The Eagles need a #1 edge (Jonathan Greenard?) or everything falls apart. Plus: Cooper DeJean extension prediction ($27M), Quinyon Mitchell ($33-34M), Jalen Carter getting paid, and the Hurts contract deep dive — dropped to 10th in QB pay at $51M with $139M dead money. McMullen breaks down every QB contract in the league and why the Eagles must rework Hurts' deal.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Can DeVonta Smith be a true WR1 on a Super Bowl team? McMullen says undoubtedly — but the 170-lb durability question looms. Plus the A.J. Brown trickle-down effect on the roster, and McMullen drops a bombshell: the Eagles are a Super Bowl contender IF they have a top 5 offensive line. Period. PFF ranked them #2 in pass protection last year despite the 'bad OL' narrative. Jalen Hurts accountability, Saquon Barkley's 2024 vs 2025, and what Sean Mannion needs to fix.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
The A.J. Brown mullen-meter drops to 65%. Albert Breer confirms only one real suitor remains: the New England Patriots. McMullen breaks down whether Omar Cooper Jr. could go 23rd overall, plus the full WR draft class — Casey Concepcion, Carnell Tate, Denzel Boston, Chris Bell (ACL), Makai Lemon, and Bryce Lance (Trey's brother from NDSU). Also: Puka Nacua's biting lawsuit and what it means for the Rams.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
McMullen breaks down the 2026 safety draft class — Caleb Downs (PFF #2 overall), Dylan Thieneman, Jalen Kilgore (Eagles top 30 visit), Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, A.J. Halsey, and Kamari Ramsey. Eagles need coverage-first safeties for Vic Fangio's scheme. Plus: all confirmed Eagles top 30 visits revealed. Then Zander goes OFF on Jake Elliott — 39th in NFL FG%, 5-for-15 from 50+ over two years, Cameron Dicker hitting 92.7% elsewhere. The early extension trap is real.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
John McMullen breaks down Howie Roseman's draft philosophy — swinging for home runs on day 3, not singles. Plus full Round 1 offensive tackle breakdown: Blake Miller, Monroe Freeling, Fanu, and Vega. Where do the Eagles go at pick 23? McMullen reveals how Howie's contingency game works and why Moro Ojomo is the model for late-round success.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
With the Eagles holding 9 draft picks and trade-up buzz gaining steam, we’re breaking down Howie Roseman’s strategy and whether Philly is preparing for a major move in the 2026 draft.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Brandon Lee Gowton (Bleeding Green Nation) joins Birds 365 and calls the Eagles roster 'incomplete' heading into the draft. BLG doesn't believe AJ Brown is coming back, expects Howie to trade up for an offensive tackle, and says the Eagles are 'living off reputation' on offense.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
John McMullen explains why asking Jalen Hurts to play like Brock Purdy is 'stupid' — and why Sean Mannion's Shanahan-style offense faces a massive uphill battle. The Montana-Seifert story about how elite QBs actually read the field, Kirk Cousins' progression offense breakdown, and whether this offense has one last farewell tour left.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Mike Gill joins Birds 365 and makes the case that trading AJ Brown makes ZERO sense for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. Plus the full breakdown of the Eagles' edge rush void — can they trade up for Abdul Carter or Keldric Falk? McMullen's "farewell tour" framing of the offense sparks a massive debate about the roster's shelf life.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
McMullen breaks down the Elijah Moore and Fred Johnson signings. Is Elijah Moore draft-proofing or an attempt to keep AJ Brown happy? Where does Moore fit on the WR depth chart with Hollywood Brown, Johnny Wilson, and Britton Covey? Plus Fred Johnson returns as swing tackle depth.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
The Eagles signed WR Elijah Moore — a close friend of A.J. Brown — while also bringing back OT Fred Johnson, and we’re breaking down what these moves say about Philly’s plans and Brown’s future.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
SB Nation's Chris Franklin joins Birds 365 with a bold Eagles draft take: Max Iheanachor (OT, Arizona State) at pick 23 - and a Josh Sweat reunion via trade with the Cardinals for a 2027 3rd-round pick at just $16M. Franklin's AJ Brown confidence meter drops from 75% to 55% as the diva debate gets real. Plus: Michael Carter at safety won't work, DeVonta Smith is the biggest Shanahan beneficiary, and McMullen notes Franklin didn't even mention AJ Brown unprompted - a telling sign.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
John McMullen breaks down what the entire NFC East will do in the 2026 NFL Draft - Giants at 5 (Sonny Styles after missing Jeremiah Love), Commanders at 7 (Bailey or Reese), Cowboys at 12 and 20 (defense double-dip) - plus the Eagles at 23. McMullen flags a concerning 30-visit: Romelo Haidt from Texas Tech at 6'2" 239 is ANOTHER Nolan Smith-sized edge. Kenyon Sadiq will be available at 23, but McMullen doesn't think the Eagles bite. His final answer: Blake Miller or bust.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
John McMullen breaks down the Eagles' 9 draft picks, the Greenard trade stalemate with Minnesota, and why Howie Roseman is shifting the offensive line philosophy for the Shanahan offense. McMullen reveals NFL teams value Blake Miller and Monroe Freeling far more than draft media realizes. Plus: Landon Dickerson can't be counted on long-term, the edge rusher room isn't Super Bowl caliber, and why the Eagles are "110% running the Shanahan offense" - with major implications for who they draft at 23.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

John McMullen gives the latest on Jalen Carter's contract extension with the Eagles — both sides are working on a deal, Drew Rosenhaus pushing for $40M while the Eagles target $35M.

Jeff Kerr joins Birds 365 to break down the Eagles' draft outlook with 4 picks in the top 100, Monroe Freeling's rise up draft boards, Howie Roseman's accountability for the most expensive offense in NFL history, and Jackson Smith-Njigba's record-breaking $168M extension.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
John McMullen breaks down the Eagles' safety overhaul after the Sydney Brown trade to Atlanta, Marcus Epps and JT Grey signings, and why the Tariq Woolen addition makes Philly's CB room one of the NFL's best.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
The Eagles are being called one of the biggest winners of free agency after adding pieces like Riq Woolen and Hollywood Brown — but are they actually better, or just retooling after major losses?Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
