The Eagles intend to enact a provision in the collective bargaining agreement and deduct $3.25 million from Jason Peters’ 2012 base salary because the tackle ruptured his Achilles tendon in March at an off-site location, according to an ESPN report.

Throw in These Towels? Never!

philly.com — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:50:09 +0000

It only took about a decade for the rally towel to become the Philadelphia sports giveaway of choice. Like all great Philadelphia ideas, it’s a ripoff: In this case, we ripped off Pittsburgh and their famous yellow terrible towel. (Pittsburgh’s terrible towel is a ripoff, too, of a regular towel.) Philadelphia rally towels are white, not yellow, and every local sports team has given them away. The earliest towel I have is the Dec. 31, 2000, Eagles’ Wild Card playoff win over Tampa Bay. (This was so long ago one of the heroes of that game was Mike Mamula.)

Receiver Demaris Johnson among players with baggage getting break from Eagles

philly.com — Tue, 15 May 2012 09:21:44 +0000

THE FASTEST, niftiest receiver at the Eagles’ rookie camp was Demaris Johnson. Johnson, an explosive 5-7, 170, looks like he might be able to run away from anything, and maybe he once thought he could. But there is no running away from security cameras, or from a felony embezzlement charge, the NCAA’s all-time all-purpose yards leader (7,796) and kickoff yards leader (3,417) discovered last August, just before his senior season at Tulsa was set to commence.

philly.com — Tue, 15 May 2012 08:05:07 +0000

THE GENERAL consensus of folks outside the walls of One NovaCare Way in January was that the Eagles’ two biggest offseason fix-it jobs were linebacker and safety.
