We now have reached probably the most low season a part of the low season, and there’s not an entire lot occurring for the Eagles. That’s not the case for each workforce this time of yr, nevertheless.
From no matter is happening with Stefon Diggs and the Payments — let’s name it a miscommunication — to the Bears reportedly sad with Chase Claypool, plus the fellows all through the league holding out for higher offers — like Giants’ RB Saquon Barkley —, there’s all the time going to be some form of drama between groups and gamers. However, not for the Eagles.
I’d argue the most important turmoil was when Darius Slay was on the way in which out, earlier than deciding to remain, and the subtweeting by C.J. Gardner-Johnson earlier than he finally signed with the Lions. Apart from that, the Eagles have been identical to their quarterback, cool, calm, and regular, as they head into summer time trip.
Nick Sirianni and co. have even navigated what may have been messy conditions fairly properly. The pinnacle coach introduced that the workforce was bringing in Matt Patricia, Slay’s former coach in Detroit, as a defensive guide which was a danger given their tough historical past. Nonetheless, Sirianni mentioned that he spoke with Slay earlier than bringing Patricia aboard and that they might have a wonderful working relationship.
Slay was requested about that state of affairs at a golf match just lately, and it was all enterprise in accordance with Jenna Malinowski of the Detroit Free Press.
“It’s one other day on the workplace,” Slay mentioned. “We each obtained the identical purpose, simply going on the market to compete and win a championship, in order that’s the primary focus.”
One of many Eagles’ core values is connecting, which appears to be serving to hold away a few of that inner drama. As well as, Sirianni mentioned that his message to the workforce earlier than they adjourned for the subsequent a number of weeks, was to come back again in nice form and keep out of the information, which ought to assist stave off different kinds of drama, as properly.
For a workforce that’s so thrilling to observe on the sphere, it certain is sweet that they’re so boring off of it.
