Vrabel looks like a beached whale.

I realize being an NFL HC is a very stressful job. But c'mon man, you have unlimited access to a weight room, cardio equipment, and probably a good cafeteria that serves healthy food.

Yikes. My initial thought was, well a man does have a right to find a companion. But I didn't realize he was married! But who knows the full story ... perhaps he and the wife are separated or heading toward splitsville (if they weren't then they probably are now HA!).

And for her? At best she's a 6.

Has Vrabel played his last game in an NFL reporter?

Vrabel is morphing into the owner of Pig Burger.

What a reference!

We'll see if he shows up for the OTAs .......and the trade talk has simmered down. If he sees a more potent passing game with Mannion, he may really want to stay.....

I think it's prudent for the eagles to draft another WR, but they have other bigger needs at edge, Oline and safety. An AJ Brown trade will not improve the team for the upcoming year.

100% agree. But it truly depends on if AJ really wants out or not...or possibly even how Hurts views things (about AJ). I'd rather keep him to help solidify another strong run for a title, but I just think he'll ultimately be traded. One thing is for sure, we can't have another season with AJ drama...either he stays, fully buys in, gives 100% and shuts the F up or he's gotta go.

This is true. But Howie is always keeping an eye on the future as much as he is planning for the team to be as competitive as possible now. And while dealing Brown does hurt you this year, it is a move that very well could help us be more competitive in the future since it would free up a boatload of cap in '27, '28, and '29 ($133M ... that's roughly $44M/season). That will surely help us retain some of our impending FAs like Carter, Mitchell, DeJean, etc. and allow us even more flexibility to make some splash signings in FA to further help improve the team.

Are those conditions only for Brown? Other players complained about the offense as well

There's only one player reading books on the sideline, posting cryptic messages on social media, talking sheet about "the offense" to his buddies while playing video games, dogging it in games, short arming passes, and screaming at coaches on the sidelines during playoff games.

Oh so now you guys consider the book thing a negative? after making it a best seller just because AJ was reading it

I'm still torn. Half of me wants him to get the eff outta here. The other half says keep him 1 more season.

The cap hit makes me think that the Eagles want him gone post June 1. Money is needed to pay Carter, Q, Moro, and Coop.

Was him reading a book on the sidelines helping the team win a game? Or was it just another way to attract attention to himself? If he was in the book sales game you might have a point. Regardless, He's gone, broham. Blame Hurts if you must. Because that's who he was always criticizing anyway, not "the offense". He just doesn't have the balls to come out and say it like a man. I'd have a little more respect for him if he did.

He always plays the 'who me?' game. While his camp does his dirty work so he can be the good guy and deny being unhappy. So he can stand in the locker room with a big ol smile on his face playing victim of the media, and say he's really happy and doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. He never said anything. And the gold fish all eat it up.

I'd take a second for him post june 1st because I think his better days are long behind him, and suspect his hammies and knees are on the outs. A second is better than nothing and having him as a sideshow for another season. His 3 for 35 against a decimated 40 whiners didn't make the team better when it counted last season. No reason to think this season will be any different.

I don't hate the guy, I just think it's time for him to go. Someone else can catch hitch routes from QB1 it won't be the end of the world. This is probably Hurts last year too before they blow up the offense. Defense wins championships anyway.

Sayonara Mr. Brown.

How was it trying to attract attention when fans were late to him doing it in the first place? Everyone said he's been doing that on the sidelines. Your hate is showing

Lies.

You can simp for him all you want but he still won't love you.

Makes you wonder if AJ truly wanted out, would he still wanna go to NE with all this Vrabel drama? How can you even respect a guy cheating on his wife? Which brings me to another topic... why is Russini catching all the heat?

Good point, as Vrabel seems to be escaping any "stones" thrown his way. Like, there seems to be none.

That's how it usually goes. The woman gets called a floozy and the guy doesn't face a ton of scrutiny. Male coaches have definitely lost their jobs due to cheating with staff and such, so I'm waiting to see how the NFL handles this case. I'm guessing there'll just be a huge fine and draft pick compensation

MF,

A fine and a draft pick?? Are you hearing/seeing that somewhere?? That seems a bit steep.

I dont believe the Eagles will trade A.J.Brown even if they draft WR round 1
