What's going on, everybody, and good morning.

Today is Monday, March 2nd, and this is your daily Go Birds morning update, giving you

all the Eagles news you need to know, as well as what to keep an eye out for today.

And it's already March. It for today and it's already March.

It's crazy. It's already March. The combine officially over. It feels like just yesterday the Eagles season was ending and now we're already past the combine. We're past the Super Bowl.

And this is going to be a huge week for the Eagles. If you remember, the Eagles signed Zach

Bonn out of the combine last year.

They had all the information. Bonds Camp had all the information. And it ended up being the

big signing that they made. And they got it done the week after. Now that all the GMs, all the

head coaches, all the agents, all the decision makers are back home. They're not all in

indie. They can all regroup. They can have staff meetings and talk about, okay, here's what we found out. Here's what the offers are going to be. Here's a team that are going to be interested. This will be the week in a way where free agency kind of kicks off because the Eagles are going to decide, all right, here's probably what Jalen Phillips is going to be worth, who we'll talk about in a second. Here's probably the offers we're going to get for AJ Brown, who we will also talk about, obviously, because it wouldn't be a pod without talking about AJ Brown, and agents and teams will start to make decisions. So this week will be a week where I think we're going to get a lot of Eagles news for better or worse,

depending on what you want. If you want AJ traded, if you don't want AJ traded, if you want Nogh back, if you don't. I think this week is when we are going to start to get a lot of that information. So obviously I can't wait. You know I love when there's Eagles news. So let's get into it so you can get on with

your Monday. And it's going to be nice weather this week too. So hopefully it's a good week for

everybody. Lots of news over the weekend, but mostly concerning two players. Jalen Phillips and

AJ Brown. Let's start with Jalen Phillips because we always start with A.J. Brown. And, you know, there was some reporting over the weekend from Jeremy Fowler, V.SPN, that, to be honest, I've been telling you, but I think Jeremy Fowler is a great reporter. It's noteworthy when he says it, that the Eagles are going to try to resign Jalen Phillips. And that's a sense I've gotten all off season. I think they want to get it done. I think this week will be huge for that because the reasons I just said, Jalen Phillips agent will have met with teams. He will know what the offers are going to be. He'll have a rough idea of what the money is, what options there's going to be. And now he can sit with Jalen Phillips and say, okay, here's what we're thinking. And then they can talk to the Eagles and all those things can happen. But I do think Jalen Phillips is going to end up back on the Eagles. I think they will pay what it takes to get him. And I think they want him back. They gave up that third. Vic Fangio loves him. I think they love him in the building as like

a culture fit. He's a very good player, good against the run, good pass rushers. Sack numbers aren't

huge, didn't have like a massive impact from a sack perspective. But I thought he played good football

for the Eagles. And then you have him, Jalick's Hunt, and Nolan Smith as your main three edges.

Giving Jalen Phillips big money does impact Nolan Smith, and we'll talk about that if and when the moment comes. But at the very least, you have the three of them on your roster once you sign Jalen Phillips. So I think it makes a lot of sense. The question will be like, does he want to be back here? If I'm Jalen Phillips, he could have loved his time in philly i talked to him about it you know i think he did love it like he loved the culture he loved the fact that he was you know competing for something obviously did end up winning a playoff game but there was a sense that he was competing for something uh seems like a big foodie seems like he liked the food in the city but if you're jalen philps you only spent like seven

weeks there or whatever it was like this is your opportunity to go out and get probably your last

life-changing contract i mean i guess you know in three years when he gets another you know 20 million

obviously that's life-changing money too but this will probably be the height of his money-making ability.
