Philadelphia is still paying for the now nonexistent Veterans Stadium Nearly fifty years after the original bond was approved the city is still paying for the construction of the now nonexistent stadium.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox had a stellar rookie season by all accounts, racking up 5.5 sacks, splitting double and even sometimes triple-teams and stuffing the run in the backfield frequently.

The Philadelphia Eagles are transitioning to a hybrid 3-4 look on defense under new defensive coordinator Billy Davis , and one key addition that should speed up the adjustment from the 4-3 to the 3-4 is former Houston Texans linebacker Connor Barwin .

Leonard Weaver spent two seasons in Philadelphia, following a four-year stint with the Seattle Seahawks .

LaMarr Woodley has recovered from a high ankle sprain and is ready to return to his status as one of the most-feared linebackers in the NFL.

The only thing that's clear right now about the Eagles QB situation is that there's nothing clear.

Vinny Curry has every right to be worried right now, every right to be sucking down anti-depressants as if they were Jujyfruits.

THIS YEAR'S Eagles defensive line rotation is going to look very different from what fans are used to seeing.

That's the common refrain uttered in meeting rooms across the NFL when general managers, coaches and scouts convene to discuss the fates of former top picks who are underperforming.

The Philadelphia Eagles will be switching to a 3-4 defense under head coach Chip Kelly, marking a drastic change for the team's veteran defensive players who have operated only in a 4-3 scheme at the NFL level.

Vinny Curry agonized while inactive for 10 games last season, watching from the sideline in street clothes even though the Eagles' defense struggled to accumulate sacks.

It's going to be a collective effort for the Philadelphia Eagles to make the playoffs in Chip Kelly's first season as head coach.

So a restless Philadelphia Eagles fan base continues to squirm. In transitioning from a 4-3 to a hybrid defensive front with mostly 3-4 personnel on the field, the Eagles are trying to find out if Trent Cole , Brandon Graham and Phillip Hunt , still listed as ends on their roster, can be converted into outside linebackers.

Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia You know the story. Graham was off to a decent start as a rookie before suffering a knee injury that not only shelved him for the rest of 2010 but rendered his 2011 season useless.

IT'S LATE MAY and we're bored and impatient. The Monday night season opener against the Redskins still is 3 1/2 months away, but we want answers.

It's looked a lot like a 3-4 on base downs during the two open practices the media was permitted to attend this month, but the Eagles may have just been practicing against certain offensive formations that determined the odd-man front.

THE MUSIC Howie Roseman was happiest to hear from the Eagles' practice field this spring wasn't Nicki Minaj, Lupe Fiasco or even the Lumineers.

Chip Kelly hasn't released a depth chart; the one you can access on the Eagles' website is from the end of the 2012 season and features starters who are no longer on the team, such as defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins.

The Eagles enter their second week of OTAs this week, and they will practice throughout the next three weeks.

Once again, Chip Kelly wasn't lying when he said the first-team quarterback reps are being split between Michael Vick and Nick Foles.
