If you had to bet right now. Do the Eagles make a notable acquisition, either via signing or trade, before the season?

Yes. It's Howie.

I find it funny how many people are seemingly finding out for the first time that Saquon Barkley is a good dude.

The GM equivalent of a great white shark, just keeps swimming around, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Doesn't have to be an elite player. Just for a name that is known. It could be a Thielen trade like Kempski threw out there. Could be Justin Simmons. Could be Ngakoue.

Does Howie have mid round picks burning a hole in his pocket? If so, then yes, they will

This is a good cut up from Fran Duffy on Carter's rookie season. A good harbinger of what may come

I am not sure whether there's some big name acquisition.  I could see them trading for a veteran WR.  Maybe DeAndre Hopkins becomes available because Burks has a great camp.  I am not sure what they would be able to give up for him. I don't think Bradberry would be acceptable but who knows.

Burks better have the best training camp of any receiver ever cause the last 2 seasons especially last he looks like a bust.

I think Justin Simmons or renfrow would be two guys I’d look at. But I’m guessing it wouldn’t be until after a couple weeks of camp and they don’t like what they see at 3rd wr or safety. Add on I’m guessing neither of those guys want to be at  camp

Burks posted an Instagram story where he looked like he had been lifting so he should be good.

I've been lifting, maybe I should try out for an NFL team.

Lifting = should be good

I would say yes. Someone like Zach Cunningham. Not him but someone like him who will get a lot of snaps. Probably on defense but possibly at wide receiver. 

Howie doesn’t sit out the month of August.

100% a move is made. We will see a trade of some sort. Either a back up CB is traded, Tanner McKee in some off the wall QB needy trade or future picks (extra 2025 3rd and 5th help). 

As far as surprises, I think we could see a move made for a more solid TE2.

Speaking of lifting, Clay Harbor has a great IG page. Guy has become a fitness beast and has lots of great exercises and different lifting variations. 

I am excited for some practice updates tomorrow.

Most likely/often mentioned update from the beat writers?

 - "Fangio's presence is really noticeable."

Most anticipated/desired?

 - "Mitchell and DeJean look as advertised."

Most feared?

 - "Hurts is scrambling often in 7-on-7 drills"

I’m closing in on 80 and I still lift. Hi reps, low weight. I also hang a lot. Never did that before. Great for the shoulders and hands. And stretching.
I should be mediocre at least.

But what I am is old. Which I don’t mind. Life gets sweeter.

I can set you up with a dementia screening if you want.

And we’re off and running!

Well that's a craptastic way to start training camp.

The #Vikings have agreed to terms with on a massive new extension for standout OT Christian Darrisaw, It’s a 4-year deal worth a max value of $113M with $77M guaranteed, source says.

$28.25m AAV.

Howie got Mailata locked up at $22m AAV.

The hustle never stops!

you gotta love it. 3 weeks is basically all of his rookie training camp. He will take weeks and weeks to get up to speed in real nfl games. Struggle. be called a bust. etc. I can see it now.

So he's not playing at all during pre-season. Aces.

He will start at nickel week 1.
