An overlooked possible Eagles roster play emerges from ESPN insider's notes
ESPN insider recently offered an interesting Eagles theory that might work but few seem to be mentioning. The Philadelphia Eagles have an interesting situation at the tight end position. Their top two on the depth, Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra, are in the final year of their contracts. Nothing is promised to them past the coming season. The Atlanta Falcons have a tight end who has never consistently lived up to his potential. Interestingly enough, he's from Philadelphia and playing on a fifth-year option that will pay him more than $10.8 million this season. Kyle Pitts was named a Pro Bowler and as a member of the Pro Football Writers Association's 2021 All-Rookie Team. The Eagles certainly wouldn't extend an offer to Atlanta for his services. Well, if that's the case, why is that the basis for an ESPN insider's theory and opinion? ESPN Aaron Schatz finds value in a Falcons and Eagles trade involving Kyle Pitts ESPN's Aaron Schatz recently proposed one final offseason move for each of the 32 NFL teams. Technically, two involved the Eagles. One mentioned them signing Tyler Boyd. The second, one naming the Falcons, was a little more interesting. "Pitts has never matched the heights of his 1,026-yard rookie season, nor has he matched expectations as the No. 4 overall pick. It's very unlikely that the Falcons extend or re-sign him after the 2025 season, so perhaps the best thing is to get some value for him now and let him see what he can do with a change of scenery." Atlanta has some expensive issues, one being their $180 million backup quarterback. The other is the aforementioned $10M tight end they may dangle as trade bait. Schatz continues: The Jets might be an interesting landing spot for Pitts, as he could play next to rookie Mason Taylor in two-TE sets. The Giants could also use an upgrade at the position. Even the Eagles might be an interesting trade target, as Dallas Goedert is now 30 years old. The $10 million and Pitts needing a new deal are the hangups here. That's especially true, given that the Eagles already have youngsters on the roster whom they will have to pay big money to, and relatively soon. Place a pin in this one. Jot it down because, though it seems unlikely and too expensive an option, it is interesting. Besides, if there's someone who might be thinking about it, someone who might be able to pull this off, it's Howie Roseman. These are precisely the types of moves he makes, moves that make us wonder how he does what he does. These are the types of moves that make us call him a genius in the first place. Plus, it's worth keeping in mind that the Eagles did have interest, even if minimal, when he was part of the 2021 draft class a little over four years ago.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey charged with reckless driving after allegedly going 101 mph
Grizzlies center Zach Edey was charged with reckless driving after police stopped him driving 101 mph in a 55-mph zone in Indiana on May 1, according to multiple reports. An Indiana State Trooper pulled Edey over and issued a citation for the infraction, Fox 59 reported. The 23-year-old Edey told police he was driving so fast because he was trying to pass a vehicle, according to the Journal & Courier. Edey reportedly has a court date at 10:30 a.m. on Monday for a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving. Grizzlies' center Zach Edey in a game on April 24, 2025. AP The incident took place in Tippecanoe County, Ind., the home county of Purdue, where Edey starred for four seasons. The Purdue men's basketball team posted a photo of Edey and other alumni at the school's Mackey Arena on May 6. The Toronto native is coming off an impressive rookie year with Memphis, where he was the primary starting center for a team that finished eighth in the Western Conference. Edey averaged 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game for the Grizzlies, earning All-Rookie First Team honors. Zach Edey starred at Purdue for four seasons. Getty Images He's most known, though, for his time at Purdue, where he dominated and stacked up an impressive list of accolades. He won the Wooden Award as the best player in college basketball in both 2023 and 2024, becoming the first repeat winner in more than 40 years. He was a back-to-back winner of the Associated Press Player of the Year award and Naismith College Player of the Year award over that same stretch. In his final season at Purdue, Edey averaged 25.2 points and 12.2 rebounds per game while shooting 62.3 percent from the field, leading the nation in all three of those categories. The Grizzlies selected him ninth overall in the 2024 draft, and he placed fifth in Rookie of the Year voting.
