How exciting it is for the Eagles to be boring

We’ve got reached probably the most low season a part of the low season, and there’s not a complete lot happening for the Eagles. That’s not the case for each crew this time of yr, nevertheless.

From whatever is going on with Stefon Diggs and the Bills — let’s name it a miscommunication — to the Bears reportedly unhappy with Chase Claypool, plus the fellows all through the league holding out for higher offers — like Giants’ RB Saquon Barkley —, there’s all the time going to be some form of drama between groups and gamers. However, not for the Eagles.

I’d argue the most important turmoil was when Darius Slay was on the way in which out, earlier than deciding to remain, and the subtweeting by C.J. Gardner-Johnson earlier than he finally signed with the Lions. Aside from that, the Eagles have been identical to their quarterback, cool, calm, and regular, as they head into summer time trip.

Nick Sirianni and co. have even navigated what may have been messy conditions fairly properly. The top coach introduced that the crew was bringing in Matt Patricia, Slay’s former coach in Detroit, as a defensive guide which was a danger given their tough historical past. Nonetheless, Sirianni mentioned that he spoke with Slay earlier than bringing Patricia aboard and that they might have a high-quality working relationship.

Slay was requested about that state of affairs at a golf event not too long ago, and it was all enterprise according to Jenna Malinowski of the Detroit Free Press.

“It’s one other day on the workplace,” Slay mentioned. “We each received the identical purpose, simply going on the market to compete and win a championship, in order that’s the primary focus.”

One of many Eagles’ core values is connecting, which appears to be serving to maintain away a few of that inner drama. As well as, Sirianni said that his message to the crew earlier than they adjourned for the following a number of weeks, was to come back again in nice form and keep out of the information, which ought to assist stave off different kinds of drama, as properly.

For a crew that’s so thrilling to look at on the sector, it certain is good that they’re so boring off of it.
