Curry has been focusing on footwork and drops in the event that the new coaching staff opts for a version of the 3-4 and moves him to outside linebacker. Like Brandon Graham, Curry played some linebacker in high school before switching to defensive end. In his first couple seasons at Marshall the Thundering Herd ran a 3-4 and he was asked to drop into coverage some, he said.

There is some familiarity with playing in space. And this isn’t exactly a crash course, as Curry has has been readying himself for a potential position change for a while now.

The Eagles added a fifth quarterback to their roster today, officially signing G.J. Kinne.

After playing his college ball at Tulsa, Kinne spent part of last offseason with the New York Jets before moving on to the Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL. He then joined the San Antonio Talons of the Arena Football League.

A look at what Chip Kelly’s history with quarterbacks at Oregon might tell us about the Eagles’ decision to hang on to Nick Foles.

We’ve started to preview free agency in the past few days with breakdowns of the cornerbacks and the safeties.

And we’ll continue to look at other positions the rest of the week. But for now, here’s a peek at the Eagles’ own pending free agents, with some thoughts on who could be back.

From Greg Cosell to Mike Mayock and others, here’s a roundup of what people are saying about West Virginia QB Geno Smith.

49ers safety Dashon Goldson, Titans tight end Jared Cook and Dolphins cornerback Sean Smith were among the players not to receive the franchise tag today. How do the league-wide moves affect the Eagles? Here’s a look.

The Eagles will have options to fill their safety needs in free agency and the draft. This year’s group of safety prospects is considered deep and talented. But as we’ve seen in years past, going into the draft searching for specific needs can lead to mistakes.

And this is not an either/or situation. The Eagles should look to identify young safety talent in free agency and address the position if possible in the draft. As we wrote about on Sunday, the Birds are in good cap shape and could be in position to take advantage of a market where the supply might very well out-weigh the demand.

Here is a look at some of the Eagles’ options.

The Eagles have held training camp at Lehigh University for the past 17 years. Whether that tradition will continue this season is very much up in the air.

Andy Reid found value in bringing his team to the quiet hills of Bethlehem, believing that it promoted team bonding. The Eagles continued making the trek each summer as more and more teams around the NFL opted to stay at home. The question now is whether Chip Kelly will have a different method of thinking than his predecessor.

The Eagles are under contract with Lehigh University through 2013, but have not yet committed to holding training camp there this summer.

“I can share that we are eager to hear the plans of the organization in light of the coaching change,” said Lehigh Dean of Athletics Joe Sterrett in an email Monday.  “We’ve been sensitive to the priority of getting a staff together and then preparing for and being away at the combine.  I expect that plans for mini-camps and camps will be resolved soon so that final preparations for the draft can occur without the stress of other matters.  For now, we wait.”

Who will the Eagles take with the fourth pick in April’s draft? Oregon’s Dion Jordan? Alabama’s Dee Milliner? Central Michigan’s Eric Fisher? Here’s a roundup of the latest mock draft projections.

One thing we are learning about Chip Kelly is that he has very specific tastes when it comes to his personnel. “He’s going to be […]

Do the Eagles have an advantage in free agency? More impressive numbers on Oregon’s Dion Jordan and leftover thoughts from Gus Bradley on the read option.

There have been some moves (and non-moves) around the league in recent days that could have an impact on the Eagles’ offseason plans. Here is the latest:

In another sign that some version of the 3-4 is on its way, Brandon Graham is preparing himself this offseason for a change of position.

“I think linebacker is where I’m going to be — outside linebacker,” said Graham in a phone conversations with Birds 24/7.

Graham says he played at around 270-275 last season. He is in the process of trying to get down to around 260 so he can move better in space.

When the Eagles are officially able to start adding players on March 12, rebuilding an underachieving secondary will be near the top of their list of priorities.

The draft will be critical, especially this year with a deep group of safeties and several starting-caliber corners. But that doesn’t mean Howie Roseman is just going to sit on the sidelines and observe during free agency. This is not an either/or situation. The Eagles have money to spend and holes to fill. They will likely address the secondary in free agency and the draft.

Keeping that in mind, who are their options at cornerback?

The Eagles could be close to adding Tulsa product G.J. Kinne to their roster.
