The Eagles Made Some SURPRISING MOVES In Their FINAL Roster Cuts! (ft. James Bradberry & MORE)

Intro wow so the NFL roster cut down deadline has came  and went and the Eagles made some surprising   decisions as not only were there some shocking  cuts and notable players that didn't make the   team but there were also a few surprise players  that did make the final roster as well so let's   break it all down and also speaking of surprise  players that made the cut we finally have a   solution to the James Bradberry situation plus the  Eagles also made some shocking decisions regarding   a few injured players including keeping one guy  who many thought would not survive Final Cut so   we're going to talk about that and everything  else from a wild day for the Eagles starting   right now what's going on everyone welcome to the  Philly fan 21 Channel if you're new I'm Evan and   Nick Wright's HORRIBLE Eagles Prediction! I cover all things Philadelphia Eagles and let's  start off with a notorious Eagles hater giving   another insane take as Nick WR of FS one's first  things first gave his predictions for how things   are going to shake out in the nfcs this year  yesterday and what he said about the Eagles   was just absolutely wild at number three is the  Philadelphia Eagles go um they've lost six of   their last seven games they had a bottom four  defense across the board in the NFL last season   they lost a future Hall of Famer the leader of  their team the best player on their offense their   coach and their quarterback don't get along their  coach head was known for one thing kind of being a   a jerk on the sidelines and now he's been like no  I'm going to stop that if anyone else could have   told him that was a bad idea years ago classic 2  once again uh and all of those things they come   into the season on the hot seat they have two  great receivers I know that I don't know much   else about this football team other than their GM  loves the acquisition of oh I I knew who that guy   is Johan Johan doson oh yeah I remember him he's  good third okay is he as a third based on what   Sam how based on based on what you know what I got  to hand it to Nick Wright because even though he   is hilariously off base here and pretty much just  reaching and digging for every single reason why   the Eagles could possibly be bad this year rather  than just looking at things for what they are and   seeing that the Eagles should clearly be one of  the best teams in the League this season just on   paper and also judging by all the recent reports  that have come out but I still got to give him   credit because he knows what makes good TV he  knows how to get a rise out of people and he   knows how to get clicks and I honestly couldn't  care less about what he has to say I just can't   wait to watch The Birds go out this season and  prove guys like him wrong but before they get out   Eagles FIRST WAVE Of Cuts! (ft. Zech McPhearson) on the field the birds of course had to finalize  their 53 man roster and things really started to   get rolling yesterday when Hoy Roseman and the  birds went through their first wave of cuts with   guys like Max sharping Austin Watkins Griffin a  bear Terron Jackson Andre Sam Kevin folch Perry   Nickerson Julian aquara Will Greer Shan Stevens  and Jason po all being released or waved and also   among the cuts was a former Eagles draft pick that  had been here for a number of years in quarterback   Zack mcferson as the 20121 fourth run pick was  officially waved by the team on Monday and he   issued a thank you to the city and team on social  media and he honestly got to feel bad for mcferson   who was a really good special teams player for the  birds in 2022 on their run to the Super Bowl and   then in 2023 he probably had his biggest chance  to be a legit contributor on the defense but   his season was over before it even started as he  suffered an Achilles tear in the preseason last   year and missed the entire season and this year he  really didn't have much of a chance in the Eagles   crowded cornerback room so now that he's gone  I wish him nothing but the best and hopefully   he lands on a team somewhere and has success  or maybe he could wind up back on the bird's   practice squad who knows now a very interesting  development from yesterday was what happened with   Ainias Smith Lands On IR! rookie wide receiver annias Smith as approaching  the cutdown deadline Smith was probably one of   the bird's most interesting players to watch is  after having a really poor start to training camp   in preseason and not being a guarantee to make  the final roster Smith is able to bounce back   and really start to find his footing while more  than likely securing himself a spot in the process   however it was revealed on Monday by Ian Rapaport  that Smith actually had suffered what ended up   being a really interesting injury in the birds  preseason finale as he said quote Eagles rookie   wide receiver anai Smith reported discomfort  in his ankle and hamstring after completing   Saturday's game sources say the fifth rounder is  getting an MRI and his availability for the start   of the season is in some doubt and this meant that  instead of Smith likely taking up a roster spot   he would instead be used to fill one of the Eagles  to open IR spots and this actually ended up having   some serious ramifications regarding who actually  did end up making the final roster so more on that   later now Tuesday AKA roster cutdown day started  off with some more intriguing Cuts with the first   one being running back Lou Nichols who had a solid  camp but really never had much of a shot to make   John Ross RELEASED! the roster I mean there were probably four guys  ahead of him on the dep chart during Camp anyways   so he gets waved and best of luck to him then the  next cut was somebody who I think a lot of Eagles   fans including myself were really rooting for  in the former first run receiver John Ross as   he was released on Tuesday morning and it's just  really unfortunate because Ross actually had a   pretty good camp and early on it actually seemed  like Ross could have been in contention for that   third receiver spot but the other guys kind of  outshined him and he ended up getting hurt in   the second preseason game and then being out for  the rest of camp and then the acquisition to Jan   doson was really the nail on the coffin for Ross  so it definitely sucks for him that he couldn't   make the roster after earning himself a shot  at an NFL comeback but I think he's definitely   a guy to watch out for when the birds are putting  together their practice squad and I feel similarly   about the next guy that the birds waved in tight  end EJ Jenkins as Jenkins was probably the third   EJ Jenkins CUT! best tight end on the roster during camp and  he made some nice plays in the preseason but   as I predicted he just didn't quite do enough  to make the final 53 so we'll see what happens   with him again I think if he clears waivers  he'll definitely end up making the practice   squad so watch out for that but then a little bit  later after that the Eagles made another somewhat   Albert O The FAVORITE For TE3? (Put On IR) surprising roster move regarding another tight end  and don't worry we're going to get into that and   all the other Eagles roster news from cutdown day  in just a minute but real quick I do want to say   if you are enjoying this video and don't want  to miss any Eagles coverage coming this season   then make sure you guys subscribe and also really  really importantly turn on notifications so you're   notified instantly when one of these videos  covering Eagles is uploaded I think that's a   win-win for the both of us because not only don't  I get more people consistently watching these   videos but you don't miss any other eagles content  or coverage just like this so again subscribe turn   on notifications and also drop a like let's see if  we can hit 800 likes on today's video now with all   that being said let's get back into the video so  as I was saying the Eagles made a very intriguing   roster move regarding another tight end just over  an hour before the cutdown deadline as they placed   Albert o on injur reserve after he underwent  core muscle repair meaning that he along with   Ania Smith would take up the Eagles 2 IR spots  currently and he's also expected to miss 6 to 8   weeks with the injury and I honestly find this  really interesting because albertto has missed   probably the better part of training camp with  this injury and when he was out there practicing   I can't really remember any reports of him making  plays or impressing during practice just being   honest so the fact that they have still chosen to  keep him around in the form of using one of their   IR spots on him is very interesting and I think  it more than anything shows that Hoy Roseman and   the coaching staff really believe in him and his  ability despite the fact that he really hasn't   done much of anything since arriving here via  trade this time last year so I'm not going to   say that I fully agree with it because again I  think that EJ Jenkins had a really nice training   camp and probably made a better case than Albero  to be the tight end number three but seems like   the eagles were not ready to give up on Alberto  just yet and he's probably currently on track to   be this team's tight end number three whenever he  returns from injury but now moving on to another   Parris Campbell SURPRISE CUT! somewhat surprising roster move shortly after  putting albertto on injured reserve the Eagles   then cut a player who headed into training camp  seemed like a Sure Fire bet to make the roster   as they officially released wide receiver Paris  Campbell and this is really interesting because   headed into camp Campbell seemed like the very  clear favorite to earn the starting wide receiver   3 job after having an impressive spring with the  team but unfortunately for Campbell he just can't   seem to catch a break with the injuries which has  pretty much been the thing that has limited his   success so far in his career as he got hurt  once again during training camp and missed a   large amount of time with a grin injury including  the team's first two preseason games and the joint   practice and in that time some of the Eagles other  receivers impressed and earned spots on the team   and then just when Campbell was coming back from  the injury the birds went ahead and traded for   Jan Dodson making the wide receiver room that  much more correct routed and suddenly Campbell   was in a tough spot and not at all a guarantee  to make the roster now I personally thought that   the injury to annias Smith and his designation to  IR may have been what Campbell actually needed to   make his way under the roster but turns out  that's not the case as the birds decided to   cut him anyway so I mean you kind of got to feel  bad for him as once again an injury has possibly   caused him another big opportunity here which  has been the story of his career pretty much but   Campbell is someone who I think the Eagles would  try to sign back to the practice squad if another   team doesn't come and scoop him up so that'll  definitely be something to monitor but shortly   Eagles REVEAL 53-Man Roster! after this the deadline came and went and the  eagle social media team was quick to post a video   so that was definitely cool but it also went  pretty fast so I'll give you guys the key   details or surprises that you may have missed  starting with the fact that James Bradberry is   James Bradberry's FATE Revealed! on the final roster which is really interesting  just after the whole situation that's played out   throughout the entire offseason with Bradbury  of course making the switch to safety after a   disappointing season as the starting cornerback  last year and then primarily being a backup at   his new position throughout camp and the preseason  and then obviously there were all the rumors of   Bradberry possibly being traded or just getting  flat out released throughout the entire offseason   but now the deadline has obviously came and  went and then now safety is still here and   Hoy Roseman and Nick serani both spoke about  that decision in their press conference after   the deadline gam always has had um really good  football instincts um when you see him play   safety every day here and see uh his ability to  diagnose um his football instincts um you know I   think for all of us that that's a transition  that's a different position than playing   uh outside corner um he's got a skill set  it's a long season we already know that he's   had tremendous success in this league playing  outside corner as well and with goals that we   have for this football team having a veteran  player like that on the roster that we know we   can rely on when called upon we felt like it was  important he's he's a Pro and he's been the pro   ever since he's come into this building he's he's  led by example um he's LED with his play and you   know guys look up to him so it certainly sounds  from that like they both liked what they saw from   Bradberry during the offseason and throughout  this entire process and he's done everything he   possibly could to earn his place on this roster  and it paid off so I do got to give a shout out   to JB because this whole situation could have been  an absolute mess if he had handled it differently   but as JB always does he handled this situation  like an absolute Pro so credit to him and that's   probably been a factor in him staying on the  roster as well that being said though it's not as   if the Eagles didn't look at other options as Jeff  mlan reported before the deadline that the Eagles   called around the league looking to potentially  trade James Bradberry but nothing material   so who knows maybe he gets moved later on  but for now he's on the team so again just   shout out to him and then moving on one guy who  was on the roster bubble that did end up making   Eli Ricks and Tristin McCollum MAKE IT! the Final Cut was cornerback Eli Ricks which  I called yesterday in my video so congrats to   him I am definitely a fan of that cuz I do think  that Ricks has potential and also has the right   attitude to be a successful player in this league  so hopefully he can continue to develop this year   and another defensive back who made it was safety  Tristan McCullum which just was awesome to see as   he's come a really long way since last season as  he looked great in training camp this year and was   probably one of the best players in the preseason  for the birds so he definitely earned his spot as   Thomas Booker IV FOUGHT Onto The Roster! well and someone else who really earned their  spot was defensive tackle Thomas Booker ivth as   he's someone that spent last season on the birds  practice squad and came into Camp probably as a   long shot to make the roster in the Public's eyes  I mean personally I didn't even have him making   the final roster in my prediction from yesterday  so I'll own up to the fact that I was wrong about   that but I also can't argue with him making  the roster either as he was good in the Eagles   preseason games especially that Patriots game  where he ended up getting a sack and according   to how Roseman Booker's work ethic is unbelievable  and it's what helped him really develop and fight   his way onto the roster this offseason this is  a guy that if you were here in the off season he   lived in the facility um tremendous work ethic um  obviously incredibly smart guy a Stanford guy um   he's got all the tools in his body um and just  a a incredible tribute to him and how hard he   worked and when you watch the tape and you see his  get off and his ability to play with leverage to   play with power um to affect the the quarterback  to be disruptive around the quarterback in the   back field um t so it was clear this guy the guy  deserved to be on the team probably should have   said this to him before I said it to you guys  but um just really proud of him it's a great   tribute to our development program and you see a  guy with Talent with intangibles with work ethic   who looked really good and um excited to see what  he can do during the regular season so just shout   out to Thomas Booker for making the Final Cut and  hopefully he's able to have success in whatever   role he has for the birds this year and also  shout out to offensive lineman Daren Canard who   Darian Kinnard MAKES IT! McMahon And Burks CUT! made the team after playing almost every snap  for the birds in their preseason games he was   also someone who was really no guarantee to make  the roster but he fought and worked hard and it   paid off so congrats to him unfortunately though  canard's inclusion meant that the sixth round   rookie Dylan McMahon didn't make the final cut  so hopefully the birds are able to get him back   on the practice squad and same goes for linebacker  Orin Burks who didn't make it as well with Ben van   summer and getting the knot over him and while  I do agree with this decision Burks is someone   who I was really impressed with in the preseason  finale so again hopefully the birds are able to   get him back on the practice squad when it's all  said and done and speaking of the practice squad   Outro the birds will probably get that filled out with  within the next couple of days or so and I going   to be covering that as well as just all the other  Eagles news throughout this entire season so if   you don't want to miss any of that again make sure  you subscribe and turn on notifications so you're   notified instantly when one of these videos is  uploaded and also while you're at it make sure   you drop a like to show some support on this video  and on this channel it really does help me out a   ton let's see if we can hit 800 likes today and  also leave a comment down below just regarding   anything I talked about in this video what are  your overall thoughts on the Eagles decisions   and cutting down their roster to 53 guys and  also if you want to watch another Eagles video   you can check this one out right here now with  all that being being said that's pretty much all   I got for this one guys so thank you all so much  for watching and I'll see you in the next video
