The Linc - Marlin Jackson out to prove himself

PhillyBurbs.com:  Out to prove himself
Marlin Jackson isn't quite ready to say he'll be the Eagles' starting free safety in 2010. He sure isn't saying he won't be. "I know there's an opportunity there for me, and I'm just going to do what I have to do so that it is my position," Jackson said. "I definitely plan on starting. I've been a starter (when healthy) for the past three years in the NFL. I've done a good job at being a starter, so I feel that (if) I have the opportunity, I'll take advantage of it."

NFL Notebook: Eagles Survey
This week, the Sporting News devotes an entire page to Philadelphia football issues. What makes it interesting is the magazine polled 34 former Eagles for their take on various topics so this isn’t some random man-on-the-street survey.

Andy Reid is among several successful NFL coaches who didn't have prior NFL coordinator experience.

Titans to host Eagles' free-agent safety | Nashville City Paper: Nashville's Online Source for Daily News
Sean Jones will be the third member of the 2009 Eagles to take a look at Tennessee. Defensive end Jason Babin visited last week, followed by linebacker Will Witherspoon, who signed a three-year, $11 million contract.

Iggles Blog - Philadelphia Eagles Blog: Macho Money
One of my favorite things that happens after the NFL season is the distribution of performance-based pay for the prior year. This system rewards players who have low salaries but a high amount of playing time. It doesn't come from...

Star-divide

Does Larry Johnson have anything left? - NFC East Blog - ESPN
Johnson was brilliant for two seasons in the league. But the last time he truly helped a team was 2006. I don't see Johnson being happy about playing second-fiddle to Portis, but that's what he'll be asked to do. This will go down as the first highly questionable signing by the Redskins.

Donovan McNabb-Terrell Owens not the only sports reunion worthy of reality TV | MLive.com
Even if it’s for a show that’s less interesting than any given episode of "Yo Gabba Gabba," it’s heartening to see these two crazy kids bury the hatchet. And in this model of karmic love, here area few other people who could stand to re-connect through reality TV:

Justin Fargas

This is completely unrelated to all of the links, but does anybody know what happened with the Fargas visit? I haven’t seen that he’s signed, but I haven’t seen anything about him at all since his visit.

Too bad

Fargas was good with the Raiders. Imagine what he’d do with a real OL.

The Raiders say he failed a physical, he claims he didn’t. Anyway, his health may have been a reason the Eagles didn’t sign him – They definitely wouldn’t have offered him a contract without passing their physical first.

JasonB...

You doing a mock draft this year again?

All quiet on Broad and Pattison

Pretty quiet on the Eagles radar. Wonder if they even make a meaningful move this week.

It sure is dead.

It was nice to see Vick and Kolb at the NovaCare Complex working out with the rest of the guys though.

I always wished McNabb would’ve done that. I know it’s not a huge deal if you workout in Philly or in your hometown… but when you’re the QB, I think it matters.

Good to see them both there, along with Maclin and Ingram.

Titans

Are really interested in Sean Jones? Even strictly as a backup I don’t know how much he brings to the table even if you can sign for essentially veteran league minimum of ~$750k. Dude was just plain awful awful towards the end of the season and isn’t a real contributor on special teams.

lolol

The Eagles WILL redeem themselves in the '10-'11 season, with a win at SuperBowl 45 in Dallas!
