Miles Sanders took his talents to Carolina in free agency, signing a four-year deal worth $25 million with $13 million guaranteed.

His last appearance as an Eagle was an unforgettable performance in the Super Bowl LVII loss, where Sanders logged seven carries for 16 yards in a 38-35 loss.

Now comfortably meshing with the new-look Panthers and quarterback Bryce Young, Sanders told the Associated Press that heeady for ‘more opportunities’ to help Carolina after his Super Bowl disappointment.

“Last game of the season? For all of the marbles? Everybody can answer that question,” Sanders said when asked if he was disappointed by how he was used in the Super Bowl. “If they put themselves in my shoes, would they be happy? I don’t want to make headlines, (but) if it does, I don’t care.”

Sanders said that isn’t the reason he left Philadelphia.

“I can get into that another day, maybe,” Sanders said. “Maybe you should ask them why I’m moving here.”

Sanders isn’t here because Philadelphia doesn’t value the running back position, and all four key ball carriers under contract make about the same as Sanders combined.

Sanders had his best season as a pro in 2022 but only played 34% of the offensive snaps, while Gainwell played more than 50% in the 38-35 loss.

Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl LVII is most-watched ever after confusion over Nielsen Ratings

Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl LVII is the most-watched ever after confusion over Nielsen Ratings.

After some initial confusion about the Nielsen Ratings, the Chiefs’ 38-35 win over the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII was the most-watched ever.

According to Michael McCarthy of FrontOfficeSports.com, Nielsen has updated the viewership numbers from 113 million to 115.1 million.

Nielsen is issuing the new record number after a review revealed irregularities in the encoding that enables Nielsen’s measurement of TV viewing and unspecified issues with out-of-home measurement of Super Bowl LVII.

Fox previously stated that viewership for February’s game was 113 million viewers. With the newly updated figure, Fox’s audience rose 2% over the 112.3 million for NBC’s broadcast of Super Bowl LVI last year.

FOX Sports PR quickly confirmed the news.

The new number tops the previous record of 114.4 million viewers for NBC Sports’ coverage of the New England Patriots’ win over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX in 2015.

Eagles GM Howie Roseman hints at losing several free agents with comments about compensatory picks

During his end-of-season press conference, Eagles GM Howie Roseman hinted at Philadelphia losing several key free agents after he made comments about compensatory picks

The Eagles have 18 pending free agents and with Jalen Hurts looking for a contract extension, the Philadelphia defense could look remarkably different in 2023.

During his end-of-the-season press conference, the Eagles GM gave some insight into his thinking, admitting that he’s looking forward to the compensatory picks gained from losing several key free agents.

Thanks to some 2022 draft night deals, and the acquisition of C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Philadelphia currently has six picks in 2023, while eight key defensive contributors are unrestricted free agents.

Philadelphia has the depth on the offensive line to offset Isaac Seumalo landing a large deal, but will have to get creative in retooling a talented defense.
