  It’s no secret the Philadelphia Eagles want to extend Carson Wentz this offseason. Howie Roseman made almost no effort to retain Nick Foles, despite the quarterback having won playoff games in consecutive years and the franchise’s only Lombardi trophy to date.

It was a disappointing season for the defending Super Bowl champions. Or was it? That’s a legitimate debate and I can see an argument for both sides. The negative spin is how obviously the Eagles were affected by the Super Bowl hangover, as they suffered a number of heartbreaking last-second losses. They didn’t win consecutive games until December. And their franchise quarterback was again lost for the season with three…

Embed from Getty Images   It’s fun to take a prediction at which teams will win each of the eight divisions and which teams represent their respective conference in the Super Bowl. But it’s even more fun to try to make individual player projections, especially those that are relatively obscure. This is my eighth year doing a bold predictions list, and I’ve had quite the array of horrendous misses. Remember…

When LaDainian Tomlinson scored 23 touchdowns in eight games in 2006 (and a record 31 for the season), it was game over. But this year? Not so much. There are a handful of candidates in…

Embed from Getty Images When you have a franchise quarterback, there’s reason to be optimistic about the outlook of your team.
