They owe him through 2026. After the season at Stanford, Reich, at 64, could have lived the good life and cashed his checks. He could have been an adviser to one of his coaching friends, such as Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, with whom he discussed the possibility a couple of months ago. But the Jets presented an opportunity for a comeback. And Reich is all about the comeback.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/philadelphia-eagles-analysis\/170643\/the-sean-mannion-offense-part-4-other-concepts\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Sean Mannion Offense: Part 4: Other Concepts \u2013 BGN;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Sean Mannion Offense: Part 4: Other Concepts \u2013 BGN<\/a><br \/>of what I\u2019ve discussed is how the run and pass are tied together, which makes everything easier for the quarterback. However, even the best systems need some classic passing concepts. You need a quarterback to throw it down the field and a receiver to win a contested catch, separate at the catch point, or something to do something special. This article is a bit more random, but I\u2019m trying to focus on some of the concepts and extras I expect. I think Green Bay\u2019s offense over the past year is more of a \u2018greatest hits\u2019 of concepts offense than the Rams have been under McVay, or the 49ers under Shanahan. I think LaFleur is a bit more expansive when it comes to running standalone concepts that aren\u2019t necessarily tied to the running game. It\u2019s why I see the Packers\u2019 offense as a good fit for the Eagles, as it is sort of McVay\/Shanahan without being all the way in. They are quite vertical, which suits this current Eagles\u2019 roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/igglesblitz.com\/2026\/02\/good-ol-news\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Good OL News \u2013 Iggles Blitz;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Good OL News \u2013 Iggles Blitz<\/a><br \/>Mekhi Becton is expected to be released in the coming weeks. I\u2019m just not sure he\u2019s a good fit for the new system so the team may not be interested in a reunion. The Eagles may now prefer blockers that aren\u2019t as tall and are more athletic. They\u2019ll still want big, strong blockers. There will just be more of an emphasis on movement skills than sheer size and power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com\/nfl\/philadelphia-eagles\/eagles-stay-or-go-2026-special-teams-jake-elliott-braden-mann\/715892\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Eagles Stay or Go 2026: Special teams \u2013 NBCSP;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Eagles Stay or Go 2026: Special teams \u2013 NBCSP<\/a><br \/>Jake Elliott. Roob: Tough one because Elliott has been so good for so long. But not the last two years. He\u2019s one of the worst kickers in the NFL since 2024 with pedestrian 76 percent accuracy and an NFL-worst 33 percent from 50 yards and out. He\u2019s 31 now and three years removed from his last elite season. In the modern NFL, it\u2019s tough to get by with a 75 percent kicker and a 33 percent kicker from 50 yards and out. Elliott is the greatest kicker in Eagles history and his Super Bowl LII performance was brilliant. But it\u2019s time. It\u2019s been two years of inconsistency. He\u2019s just not good enough anymore.

Good year to need \u2026 any sort of edge rusher at all Bad year to need \u2026 a truly elite dude (unless you\u2019d like to send two first-rounders for Maxx Crosby). If your favorite team\u2019s general manager can\u2019t find a good fit at edge rusher this offseason, tell him to take a hike. Putting aside the Crosby trade rumors for now, here\u2019s a list of expected free agent edge rushers: Trey Hendrickson, Odafe Oweh, Jaelan Phillips, Khalil Mack, K\u2019Lavon Chaisson, Boye Mafe, Joey Bosa and Jadeveon Clowney. The main thing that impresses me is the variety. Oweh, Chaisson and Mafe are speed artists who can create pressure fast. Guys like Mack, Clowney and Kingsley Enagbare (Packers) are all hitters in the running game. Want to gamble on injured, aging veterans? Hendrickson, Bosa, Cameron Jordan (Saints) and Von Miller (Commanders) could all have something left. What about undeveloped traits? Kwity Paye (Colts) and Arnold Ebiketie (Falcons) are your guys. There\u2019s something for everyone in this group. Hendrickson, Oweh and Phillips can all reasonably be projected for 10-plus sacks next season, while Mafe, Chaisson, Mack and Bosa can all be eight-sack players. And that\u2019s without any surprises from more middle-tier veterans like Dre\u2019Mont Jones and Al-Quadin Muhammad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloggingtheboys.com\/dallas-cowboys-roster\/197509\/2026-win-totals-espn-projection\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ESPN has Dallas Cowboys win total at 8.5 for 2026 season, second in NFC East \u2013 Blogging The Boys;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ESPN has Dallas Cowboys win total at 8.5 for 2026 season, second in NFC East \u2013 Blogging The Boys<\/a><br \/>The buildings in Las Vegas are tall and shiny for a reason. Generally speaking the folks in the desert know a thing or two about the lines that they set for the world of sports. Nobody has a perfect batting average, but it goes without saying that we have all seen a situation unfold where it felt like they just knew. In that respect it is always interesting to see where futures lie with regards to things concerning the Dallas Cowboys.

Miami made several moves on Monday ahead of the true start to the NFL offseason, including releasing veteran wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The wideout is working back from a dislocated knee he suffered during the 2025 season, and said recently that he is \u201cfeeling good\u201d about his rehab. Hill was one of four players the Dolphins released on Monday, including pass rusher Bradley Chubb, guard James Daniels, and wideout Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. The four cuts together clear over $56 million in 2026 cap space for the Dolphins as new head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan take over in Miami. While the injury could cost the 31-year-old WR the majority of his offseason, and cut into the next regular season, there are teams that would be smart to inquire about his availability. Here are five such teams.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Social Media Information:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">BGN Facebook Page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Bleeding-Green-Nation\/57835308051\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Click here to like our page;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Click here to like our page<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">BGN Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleedingGreen\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Follow @BleedingGreen;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Follow @BleedingGreen<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">BGN BlueSky: <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/bleedgreennation.bsky.social\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Follow @bleedgreennation.bsky.social;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Follow @bleedgreennation.bsky.social<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">BGN Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bleedinggreeninsta\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Follow @BleedingGreenInsta;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Follow @BleedingGreenInsta<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">BGN Manager: Follow Brandon Lee Gowton on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BrandonGowton\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Twitter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:347sapgyqpp2ukrikt4ipubb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:BlueSky;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">BlueSky<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@brandongowton\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Threads;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Threads<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">BGN Radio Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BGN_Radio\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Follow @BGN_Radio;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Follow @BGN_Radio<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eagles Question of the Day: Do you wish the Eagles brought Frank Reich back?
