2025 Philadelphia Eagles Preseason Schedule: Dates, Times, TV Channels
Check out the team's preseason schedule below: August 7: Eagles vs. Bengals – 7:30 p.m. ET
August 16: Eagles vs. Browns – 1:00 p.m. ET (NFL Network)
August 22: Eagles at Jets – 7:30 p.m. ET How will the Eagles do this season?
Ralph Vacchiano predicts that the Eagles will finish the year at 11-6. Here's Vacchiano:
"One thing is certain about the defending Super Bowl champions: They're going to have to earn everything they get this season. They have an incredibly hard schedule that has them facing seven playoff teams on the road. They face all four teams they beat during their Super Bowl run last season — at Green Bay, vs. the L.A. Rams, at Kansas City, plus their usual home-and-home with the Commanders, which comes in the final three weeks of this season. Plus they play at Buffalo in Week 17. It's all brutal. The Eagles' record may not be as gaudy as it was last year, but they sure will be battle-tested for the playoffs."

Sterling Sharpe joins brother Shannon as only siblings in the Pro Football Hall of Fame
Sterling Sharpe stood on the podium a few feet from his bronze bust, took off his new gold jacket and gave it to his fellow Pro Football Hall of Fame brother. Shannon Sharpe had given Sterling his first Super Bowl ring and now big brother was returning the favor on stage after the crowning moment of his football career. 'This is why I played football,' Sterling said, referring to his younger brother, who wrapped his arm around him and had tears streaming down his face. 'This is why I got out of bed; it wasn't work. It was because of this right here. Before I leave you, I want to do two things. The most precious gift I've ever received is the Super Bowl ring. ... I wear this ring because of love. You gave me this not knowing you were going to get another one. And I prayed to God: 'Please, God, let him get another.' God blessed him with two. 'The second thing is, the last time I was here, you said that you were the only pro football player in the Hall of Fame that could say that you were the second-best player in your own family. I agree with that statement, but it would be an extreme privilege. ... for you to be the only player in the Pro Football Hall of Fame with two gold jackets. You see, you have to learn to follow before you can lead.' Eric Allen, Jared Allen and Antonio Gates joined Sterling Sharpe as the Class of 2025 was inducted into football immortality during a ceremony at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, where the Los Angeles Chargers beat the Detroit Lions 34-7 on Thursday night to kick off the NFL preseason. Sterling Sharpe averaged 85 catches and 1,162 yards, finishing with 65 touchdowns in seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers. The wide receiver was named to five Pro Bowls and earned first-team All-Pro honors three times. A neck injury cut his career short and he waited a long time to get the call from the Hall. Shannon Sharpe, who played tight end for the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens, was inducted in 2011. They are the first brothers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Jared Allen was the first player among the new class to take the stage after Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas led the crowd in singing 'Happy Birthday' to former Bills coach Marv Levy, who turns 100 on Sunday. Wearing his trademark cowboy hat, Allen talked about his motivation for success. 'Why is what makes you different; it's your long game,' he said. 'It's the motivation that drives you to do all necessary action steps to achieve your goal. My why can be summed up in three things: fear, respect and the pursuit of greatness. ... I apply my why to everything in my life, to my walk with Christ, my marriage and being a father.' Jared Allen made five Pro Bowls, was a four-time All-Pro and had 136 sacks in 12 seasons with the Chiefs, Vikings, Bears and Panthers. His final game was Super Bowl 50, a loss by Carolina against Peyton Manning and the Broncos. Eric Allen, a six-time Pro Bowl cornerback who played for the Eagles, Saints and Raiders, was presented by one of his four sons. Allen, who had 54 career interceptions, including eight returned for touchdowns, gave the obligatory 'Fly! Eagles! Fly!' to support the Super Bowl champions who drafted him in 1988. 'I grew up in Philadelphia. I became a man there. I have a special gratitude for the organization,' Allen said. Allen also thanked current Raiders owner Mark Davis, who was in attendance. 'Al Davis had a statement: 'Commitment to excellence,' Allen said. 'It's all over our building in Las Vegas. We are trying to make sure we fulfill that destiny, we fulfill what Al Davis was about.' Gates closed out the day with a 23-minute speech that he began by saying he wouldn't cry, but it included several emotional moments. Gates, who was presented by Chargers owner Dean Spanos, never played a single down of college football yet ended up becoming the 23rd of 382 Hall of Famers who were undrafted by NFL teams. He thanked former Chargers tight ends coach Tim Brewster for discovering him after he led Kent State's basketball team to the Elite Eight. 'Tim Brewster saw something special in me. He was pretty sure that I could make the team. He was adamant that I'd be All-Pro in three years,' Gates said. 'You see, the thing is when switching sports or careers for that matter, it can be life-changing. The unexpected are often the most powerful ones because it can completely redirect your life if you're ready to take advantage and you're ready for the opportunity. Thank you to Coach Tim Brewster and Coach Marty Schottenheimer. They gave me an opportunity to play tight end in the NFL. Because of you, Coach Tim Brewster, NFL teams and NFL scouts will never look at college basketball players the same again.' Gates played all 16 of his NFL seasons with the Chargers, finishing with 955 catches for 11,841 yards and 116 TDs. He made the Pro Bowl eight times and was All-Pro three times, the first in just his second season.

What are the odds the Texans trade for All-Pro Micah Parsons?
Ok, let's just get this out of the way before someone comes in the comment section and loses their mind: No, the Houston Texans probably aren't going to trade for Dallas Cowboys All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons. In fact, one should actually convince a lowly Texans fan that it's possible, beat the house and cash in when he lands elsewhere down the line. While Parsons did request a trade from the Cowboys after contract negotiations broke down ahead of training camp, Dallas has made it clear he's not on the market. And yes, the Texans are in a win-now mode with Super Bowl aspirations behind Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud, but given the fact that Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter are already on staff, they're likely out of the running. Vegas seems to agree. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Texans don't even have odds to be Parsons' next team. Even of the 10 teams listed by the sportsbook, none of them were going to feature Houston since Anderson is still on his rookie contract. The 10 teams listed for Parson are: the Cowboys (-300), Philadelphia Eagles (+1000), New England Patriots (+1000), Los Angeles Chargers (+1500), Los Angeles Rams (+1800), Arizona Cardinals (+1600) San Francisco 49ers (+1600), Carolina Panthers (+2200), New York Jets (+2500) and Las Vegas Raiders (+2500) Again, Houston doesn't really need another starting edge rusher since its already paying top dollar to Hunter and soon will have to cash up the dough for Anderson next offseason. However, if Houston thought giving up Hunter for Parsons would benefit both sides, a package could be built around the four-time Pro Bowler to land the elite pass-rusher. Then again, would Dallas even consider that deal? Part of the reason the Cowboys are in the slump is because they don't want to pay top dollar for Parsons ahead of the season. Adding Hunter, who is currently making the most in annual salary among defensive ends, would simply be upgrading on age and salary but nothing else. All things considered, this is a fool's bet for anyone who seriously thinks the Texans are even in the running to trade for Parsons. But, anything is possible in the NFL, right?
