Philly’s Quarterback Conundrum
Head Coach Andy Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles are rapidly approaching what could be a rather sticky situation at the quarterback position. Donovan McNabb has said he wants an extension and wants to finish his career as an Eagle. McNabb's current deal still has two years left on it and 32 is not that old for a NFL quarterback. There have been plenty of quarterbacks who have played productive football into their mid to late 30s and statistically speaking McNabb is coming off of one of the best years of his career posting career highs in attempts, completions, and yards in 2008.

Reasons to be Excited in Philly
This has been one of the most exciting off seasons for Philadelphia Eagles fans.

As the draft concluded the Eagles were one of the teams being viewed as having one of the best offseasons to-date.

2009 NFL Draft Quick Hits
The 2009 NFL Draft is in the books and here are the Pickle’s thoughts on what each team did in this year’s Draft.
Arizona Cardinals: The addition of Chris “Beanie” Wells allowed the Cards to cut ties with Edgerrin James who was becoming a malcontent and wanted to be released. Not sure about Cody Brown though who seems more suited to be an edge rusher in a 3-4 defense. Picking up LSU offensive lineman Herman Johnson at the end of the fifth was a good value pick as some draft sites had him as a solid third round prospect. An overall solid draft even if they failed to address their need at linebacker. Read more…
