Eagles Deny Violating Tampering Rule With Saquon Barkley

Mar 14, 2024 8:10 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles have denied impermissible contact between general manager Howie Roseman and Saquon Barkley during the negotiating window before the start of free agency.

His former coach at Penn State, James Franklin, suggested Roseman spoke to Barkley directly during the "legal tampering" period, which is not allowed.

"For him now to come back and be able to play within the state, in Philadelphia, he said that was one of the first things that Howie said to him on the phone as part of his sales pitch to him was not only the Philadelphia Eagles and that but obviously the connection with Penn State and the fan base as well," Franklin said.

Teams are not allowed to talk directly to players during the negotiating window unless the player represents himself. An Eagles spokesperson said that all recruiting done by the team is facilitated through the agent.

The NFL declined to comment on whether it is investigating possible impermissible contact. 

Barkley agreed to terms with the Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million contract that includes $26 million fully guaranteed at signing.

Jason Kelce Announces Retirement After 13 Seasons

Mar 4, 2024 1:45 PM

Jason Kelce has announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Kelce is likely to be a Hall of Famer as he was one of the best centers of his generation. Kielce was a six-time first-team All-Pro including in the 2023 season.

"I've been asked many times why did I choose football -- what drew me to the game -- and I never have an answer that gets it right," Kelce said during a speech that he had to stop many times as he was overtaken by emotion. "The best way I could explain it is what draws you to your favorite song ... your favorite book. It's what it makes you feel. The seriousness of it. The intensity of it.

"Stepping on the field was the most alive and free I had ever felt. There was a visceral feeling with football, unlike any sport. The hairs on my arms would stand up. I could hit somebody, run around like a crazed lunatic and then get told, 'Good job.' I love football."
