[8:00 PM EST] It sounds like the Eagles are trying to trade Jaylen Watkins. If Philadelphia can't find a trade partner, he might be released.

[4:00 PM EST] Matt Barkley has reportedly been traded to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for a conditional seventh round pick. This seems to bode well for Tim Tebow's chances of making the final roster.
[1:45 PM EST] Another pick from the 2015 NFL Draft class has been cut: Randall Evans. This means the Eagles will only have three of their six picks from this year's draft on the active roster (Nelson Agholor, Eric Rowe, Jordan Hicks). Evans could be a PS candidate.
