The Indianapolis Colts have enlisted Alex Tanney, formerly the quarterbacks coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, to join their offensive staff, as reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Earlier speculation from Jake Rabadi of The Liberty Line anticipated this move, which was subsequently confirmed by Fowler. Tanney’s role with the Colts will be as a passing game coordinator, as per James Boyd, a Colts beat writer for The Athletic.
Following a disappointing conclusion to the 2023 season, the Eagles underwent coaching staff changes, leading to Tanney’s departure. Speculation arose regarding Tanney potentially reuniting with Colts’ head coach Shane Steichen in Indianapolis. Tanney had previously spent three seasons in Philadelphia, collaborating with Steichen during his tenure as the Eagles’ offensive coordinator from 2023 to 2024. Tanney’s move to the Colts marks a reunion with Steichen, highlighting the continuity of their working relationship.
Eagles mock draft roundup, version 1.0.
Will the Eagles go offensive tackle or cornerback in the first round of the NFL Draft? Rounding up experts’ mock drafts…
On Monday, we published our first Philadelphia Eagles-only mock draft of the offseason. Today we’ll take a peek around at some of the national guys and see who they have going to the Birds at 22nd overall.
The Eagles need to start planning for the end of Lane Johnson’s career. Why not go shopping at the same store? Guyton, another former Sooner, is one of the most athletically gifted tackles in the class.
#JimmySays: Guyton and Taliese Fuaga are my top two most likely Eagles first-round targets.
The Eagles were a disaster at the end of the season, and they have several roster questions to answer this offseason (with a long list of pending free agents). On defense, they have needs at cornerback and safety, and their pass rush was putrid down the stretch. On offense, their line is getting older — right tackle Lane Johnson turns 34 in May — and they’ll have to replace star center Jason Kelce. Taking Fuaga is a way to add a top-tier talent and figure out the rest later.
Cam Jurgens, a second-rounder in 2022, probably would replace Kelce, which means the right guard spot would open up. Fuaga started 25 games at right tackle for the Beavers, but he could play inside as a rookie before ultimately replacing Johnson. He is a dominant run-blocker with powerful hands and strong lower body.
