Dolphins agree to deal with former Eagles right tackle Jack Driscoll

The Miami Dolphins signed former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jack Driscoll to a deal

The Eagles are taking another hit to their offensive line depth, as Jack Driscoll has agreed to a deal with the Miami Dolphins.

Driscoll originally entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick (145th overall) by Philadelphia in the 2020 NFL Draft following a collegiate career at Auburn and UMASS.

A versatile player who can flourish at multiple positions, Driscoll has played in 54 career games with 17 starts in four seasons (2020-23) with the Eagles.

Driscoll saw action in four postseason games and helped the Eagles win the NFC Championship in 2022.

Driscoll started 17 career starts, eight coming at right tackle, eight at right guard and one at left tackle.

Dolphins signing OL Jack Driscoll

Miami has signed their second free-agent offensive lineman.

The Miami Dolphins entered the offseason needing to find both starters and depth options for the offensive line before the start of the 2024 season.

On Monday, the team announced the signing of their second external free-agent offensive lineman – Jack Driscoll.

Driscoll, 26, was originally drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft following a collegiate career at UMass (2015-17) and Auburn (2018-19).

He’s spent the last four seasons with Philadelphia, appearing in 54 games and starting 17. He’s mainly played tackle in his career (845 snaps between left and right), but he’s also had opportunities at right guard (473 snaps).

Driscoll could compete for a starting guard spot in Miami, but if he’s beaten out, at least has a chance to provide the team with some quality depth.

We’re looking at seven Philadelphia Eagles 2024 NFL free agents that’ll flourish on another team

The Eagles are set for wholesale changes as owner Jeffrey Lurie and GM Howie Roseman evaluated Nick Sirianni’s future following Philadelphia’s historic collapse, finishing the season 1-6 after a 10-1 start.

The first domino to fall is All-Pro center Jason Kelce, 36, who reportedly told his teammates he is retiring after 13 seasons with the Eagles.

Brandon Graham, who turns 36 in April, says he wants to return to the Eagles for one more final season, his 15th, and he’s one of the few guys on the roster deserving of writing his final script.

According to Over The Cap, Philadelphia has 20+ free agents, and we’re looking at seven that could flourish on other teams.

Auburn Alumni were busy again in Week 15.

Former Tigers [autotag]K.J Britt[/autotag] and [autotag]Jamel Dean[/autotag] got the best of [autotag]Anders Carlson[/autotag] and [autotag]Colby Wooden[/autotag], [autotag]Darius Slayton[/autotag] surpassed 60 receiving yards for the fourth time this season, [autotag]Marlon Davidson[/autotag] recorded his first sack of the season, and [autotag]Derick Hall[/autotag]’s Seahawks upset [autotag]Jack Driscoll[/autotag]’s Eagles.

Here is a look at several headlines from Week 15 that feature Auburn’s top NFL players.

Eagles vs. Jets: 5 stats to know from shocking 20-14 loss in Week 6

We’re looking at 5 stats to know from the Philadelphia Eagles shocking 20-14 loss to the New York Jets in Week 6

The Eagles are no longer the NFL’s only remaining undefeated team after a shocking 20-14 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Philadelphia’s All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts was 28 of 45 passing, for 281 yards, one passing touchdown, and three costly interceptions.

Hurts finished with eight carries for 47 yards and one touchdown, while D’Andre Swift combined for 12 carries and 30 yards rushing.

The Eagles had multiple players leave with injuries, and with a monster matchup against the Dolphins looming, here are five stats that truly break down the shocking loss.

Report: Eagles’ Lane Johnson suffered a high ankle sprain in loss to Jets

Lane Johnson suffered high ankle sprain in Eagles 20-14 loss to Jets

The Eagles could be forced to move some personnel around after Lane Johnson was forced to exit Sunday’s shocking 20-14 loss to the Jets with an ankle injury.

Jeff McLane of The Inquirer reports that Johnson is feared to have suffered a high-ankle sprain that could cause him to miss some time.

Johnson is an All-Pro and the best right tackle in the NFL, but more importantly, Philadelphia is 84-48-1 in games in which Johnson has played and 13-22 when he is not in the lineup.

Johnson hasn’t allowed a sack over his last 2,423 snaps, per PFF, dating back to Week 11 of the 2020 season.

The three-time All-Pro is a quick healer, but if he can’t play, Philadelphia could turn back to Driscoll or move Fred Johnson or Tyler Steen over to right tackle.

Charles Barkley reveals Super Bowl plans, which team he’s betting on

Not sure which team to root for on Sunday? Here’s who Sir Charles is betting on.

One of Auburn’s most famous alumni has placed his bet for Sunday’s Super Bowl 57 in Glendale, Arizona.

In a recent episode of the Steam Room podcast with Ernie Johnson, former Auburn basketball star [autotag]Charles Barkley[/autotag] revealed that he is placing a hefty bet of $100,000 on the Philadelphia Eagles to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

What sparks his interest in choosing the Eagles? He won big the last time he bet on Philadelphia to win a Super Bowl. It is not certain how much he bet, but he made a relatable comparison during a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2018.

“In Alabama, it’d buy a big condo. In L.A., a small guest house,” Barkley said soon after the Eagles defeated the Patriots in Super Bowl 52.

Barkley also says that he plans to pull an all-nighter in Las Vegas following the Super Bowl. He and 12 friends will be playing golf this weekend before watching the game.

“By the time the game ends, I’ll probably gamble all night Sunday and go straight to the airport,” Barkley said.

Auburn will have two representatives on the Eagles roster for Super Bowl 57 as former offensive lineman [autotag]Jack Driscoll[/autotag] and former punter [autotag]Arryn Sipposs[/autotag] are active members of the Eagles. Former lineman [autotag]Prince Tega Wanogho[/autotag] will represent Auburn on the Kansas City Chiefs roster.
