Eagles fans are on the edges of their seats tonight watching a first round of the draft where the Birds had two picks.

Of course, the Eagles had selected Jordan Davis following a trade up earlier.

With their second pick in the round, they've decided to get a seasoned vet in AJ Brown.

After months of speculation, we finally know who the Eagles top pick in the 2022 Draft is.

Though they did not trade up nearly as far as the top 10 as it was reported they were looking to, they did move up to 13.

The Eagles gave up picks 124, 162 and 166 to move up from 15 to 13. That means they no longer have a fourth-round pick and they lose two of their fifth-round picks (they still have one left).

With the trade up, they went with building the defensive line.

It was pretty widely known that the Phillies, with a lineup that appears to feature four batters who'd be best as designated hitters, were not figuring to play good defense.

The thought among many fans was that this lack of defense would not be an issue for such a high-powered offense that could hit dingers with the best of them.

The early returns during the very brief spring training and on Opening Day appeared to be just that. When the Phillies exploded for nine runs against the lone ace of the Athletic's staff, it looked like no pitcher would have a good day against this deep lineup.

Instead, they've managed virtually no offense in the seven games since.

The Eagles have remained quiet for some time before the draft here, but they did make a move on Friday, though it isn't one fans will be clambering over.

The Athletic's Zach Berman reported on Friday afternoon that the Eagles had signed an Olympian to the roster.

The Eagles signed WR Devon Allen, a two-time Olympian and three-time national champion hurdler.

Allen, 27, hasn't played football since 2016. He was a WR at Oregon.

Devon Allen is an Olympic Hurdler who went to the University of Oregon.

The Eagles traded back in the draft on Monday afternoon, arming themselves for the future in the 2023 draft.

The deal with New Orleans brings back a 2023 first-rounder, giving the Eagles two next season, as well.

The Eagles have agreed to trade picks No. 16, 19, and 194 to the Saints in exchange for picks No. 18, 101, 237, a 2023 first-round pick, and a 2024 second-round pick. pic.twitter.com/9VZCJBWovx

At this point, the Eagles maintain their highest pick at 15.

With a dearth of news since the release and subsequent reports of a not-yet-official deal for Fletcher Cox to return to Philadelphia in 2022, Eagles news has seemed to be extremely slow.

There was some movement on Friday afternoon as the team re-signed another pair of players.

The Eagles announced the re-signing of safety Anthony Harris and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that running back Boston Scott will return, as well.

On Thursday afternoon, Eagles fans were caught off guard by the news of the release of Fletcher Cox. It appears that the separation may be short lived.

Lets Go to the Phones, who originally broke the news of Cox's release, reports that Cox will be re-signing with the Eagles for the 2022 season.

That'd be a fairly quick turnaround of only about 8 hours between release and the reported new deal.

While there had been some chatter about the Eagles potentially trading Fletcher Cox, fans may have felt a bit blindsided by the Eagles roster move Thursday afternoon.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported the news that longtime Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox had been released by the team.

Fletcher Cox was released by the #Eagles with a post-June 1 designation, sources say. At 4p, $18 million would have become fully guaranteed. Cox is now a free agent but the team and his representatives continue to have discussions about a possible return.

The move appears to have been a cap saving one.

The Eagles completed some of their own housekeeping on Tuesday afternoon.

The Birds agreed to new one-year deals to retain Greg Ward Jr. and Andre Chachere.

With the legal tampering period starting on Monday at 1 p.m., news broke not long after that Haason Reddick would be coming home to Philadelphia.

A few hours later, it was revealed the Eagles would be losing a linebacker, too.

On Monday night, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Eagles would not be tendering a offer to linebacker Alex Singleton.

Eagles are not tendering two-time leading tackler LB Alex Singleton, per source. Singleton now will be a free agent when the market opens.
