News came down Monday afternoon that Michael Vick had restructured his deal with the Eagles. Here are three instant thoughts, focusing on what Chip Kelly wants out of his quarterback.

It looks like Michael Vick is sticking around, at least for one more year.

The team announced late Monday morning that Vick has agreed to restructure his contract. For all intents and purposes it is a one-year deal. Because of certain provisions in the salary cap and Collective Bargaining Agreement, it was set up as a three-year deal. However, the last two years void on March 15.

The quarterback was scheduled to make $15.5 million in 2013. According to reports, Vick can now make up to $10 million this season.

DeSean Jackson has spoken with Chip Kelly, and believes he has an idea how he will be utilized by his new coach.

“Kind of similar to what DeAnthony Thomas was doing at Oregon. He’s like a little brother to me. I actually talked to him,” Jackson told the Inquirer. “He was passing on information to me, like I’m going to be pumped up and psyched to be in that offense. It just keeps defenses off guard any time you go in motion, fake play-action, go down the field. There’s just so many things you can do.”

Jackson said Kelly told him to be prepared to have the ball in his hands more than usual, but other than that provided little detail.

Kelly has to be excited about working with a burner like Jackson. But can he really use him like he did Thomas?

There has been plenty of buzz since Chip Kelly officially announced his staff on Friday. Here is a sample of what people are talking about.

Trent Cole had hand surgery this week and could be sidelined for some of the Eagles’ spring activities, according to a report.

Mike Garafolo of USA Today says that the defensive end has been dealing with a hand issue for over a year, which could help explain his dip in production last season.

The Eagles officially announced their coaching staff Friday afternoon. Here is how it looks:

The final remaining hole on the Eagles’ coaching staff has been filled, according to a report.

Sources tell CoachingSearch.com that Chip Kelly has hired defensive backs coach John Lovett. Lovett spent last season coaching Texas Tech’s DBs. He moved on to Cincinnati with Tommy Tuberville in the offseason, but will never coach a game there.

His only NFL coaching experience came with the Jets as defensive quality control coach in 1984, but Lovett has been all over the college map, having served as defensive coordinator at Miami, Bowling Green, Clemson, Auburn, Maine and Cincinnati. He has also coached at Ole Miss, UNLV, Brown and North Carolina.

Using some All-22 shots, we dive into scheme possibilities for new Eagles defensive coordinator Billy Davis. Which pieces on the current roster fit the plan going forward?

The void Jim Johnson left when he passed away back in July of 2009 has not yet been filled.  The Eagles went  through three defensive coordinators in the last four seasons, and they all fell short. It is one of the biggest reasons why Andy Reid is now coaching the Chiefs.

The importance of assistant coaches can be lost to a degree when so much focus is on the head man. Chip Kelly is the story, he is the draw. He is also nothing if his staff can’t pull its weight.

Chip Kelly’s staff appears to be near completion.

Earlier today, we told you about defensive coordinator Billy Davis. And this afternoon, word has come down that Kelly has found his offensive line coach.

Sources tell FootballScoop.com that the Eagles will hire Alabama offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland.

Why haven’t Chip Kelly and Nick Foles met face-to-face? And what to make of the Billy Davis hiring? We cover that and more in the latest mailbag.

We once again have to include the caveat that none of these hires are official, but with the addition of Billy Davis as defensive coordinator, here’s an updated look at where things stand with Chip Kelly’s coaching staff.

The Eagles finally ended their search and will name Billy Davis new defensive coordinator. What’s his resume? Scheme? Coaching influences? We get you started with all those things right here.

Chip Kelly has tabbed Browns linebackers coach Billy Davis to be his defensive coordinator, according to a league source.

Geoff Mosher of CSN Philly was first to report the hire.

Davis has been the linebackers coach in Cleveland since 2011. Prior to that he served as the defensive coordinator in Arizona (2009-10) and San Francisco (2005-06). His NFL coaching resume dates back to 1992, starting out as a defensive assistant in Pittsburgh.

From mock drafts to Nick Foles’ future to 2013 predictions, here’s what the national media are saying about the Eagles this week.
