Posted July 20, 20231 yr We needed another swing OT and this guy has a lot of experience. Driscoll will be gone after this year. He'll get a solid contract offer in free agency north of 5 mil a year and we won't be able to match that for a back up so Kelly could be here for more than 1 year.
July 20, 20231 yr I think we should also pick up Doriell Green-Beckham so we can outsmart the NFL by getting both ends of that trade.

The guy who has not played in the NFL since 2016? I would agree to a third string kicker before him.

July 20, 20231 yr What % chance are we giving him on even making the roster. Dude didn’t make the Final Cut last year and no one picked him up all season. And I’m not aware of any lingering injury that may have cost him.
July 20, 20231 yr He was on Indy all year and played about 300 snaps between offense and special teams.
July 20, 20231 yr We have a 50% SB win rate when bringing back 2012 Eagles draft picks. I like those odds.
July 20, 20231 yr Hopefully just a depth signing who won't see much playing time during the season. He's aging, but he is a vet of Stout U

This is his 3rd team in three years. I suspect that he is here to retire as an Eagle, or at best warm the bench until someone else emerges.

July 28, 20231 yr not a good signing to me as he is old and on the down side and I would rather keep a younger guard and under Stoudland's tutorage !
July 29, 20231 yr According to a report I saw on YouTube, he's already ahead of Driscoll on the depth chart at RT.

August 5, 20231 yr The Eagles had a lot of good fortune when it came to injuries last season, but they should be somewhat concerned with their depth on this roster. There already are moving Kelly inside to guard and Steen outside, and it’s not because of trying to be versatile. It’s because Steen has struggled mightily in camp. Their backup center right now is making a lot of bad snaps. If the Eagles can’t stay healthy this year it could lead to some big problems. Last year the offensive line had much more depth.

It’s because Steen has struggled mightily in camp. Source? Steen is being groomed to replace Driscoll --- a guy that can fill in anywhere (except Center). The plan was always to get him work in different spots. Sure, if he was ahead of Jurgens at G, he'd start, but he has a lot of growing to do to be where Jurgens is today. Not worried about backup Center. Jurgens is that guy. Someone else will fill in at RG if that happens. It just so happens that Josh Sills has been cleared and is back on our active roster. He impressed last offseason. Opeta was on the team last year and probably won't make this roster. Kelly likely will and brings both experience and versatility for cheap. Oh, by the way ... we have a pretty good O-line coach.
