Eagles sign WR Brandon Hayes
Wide receiver Brandon Hayes is back with the Eagles. The team announced Hayes’s signing on Wednesday morning. The team had an open spot on their 90-man roster after releasing defensive lineman Ta’Quon Graham over the weekend. Hayes signed with the Eagles after taking part in their rookie minicamp as an undrafted free agent. He was waived on June 5, but is now back to try for a longer stay in the organization. Hayes ranked third in the Football Championship Subdivision by averaging 30.7 yards per kickoff return at Southeastern Louisiana last season. He returned two of those kickoffs for touchdowns and also caught 19 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns

Cowboys countdown to kickoff: Top 100 iconic games – Day 82
It is Day 82 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff. We are looking back at the 100 most iconic games in Dallas Cowboys history. The countdown will leads us right up to the opening game of 2026. Our look back doesn’t depend on just one criteria for our rankings. We take into consideration things like how big the game was for the organization, how memorable the game was, games that had unusual events take place, games that are a part of NFL lore, Cowboys firsts, and games where the Cowboys just plain dominated. Variety is the spice of life and we have all different kind of Cowboys games to review. At the bottom, we’ll link each day of the countdown so you can go back and check out any you missed. Here we go as we reach Day 82 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff, where we pause for one of the more emotional landmarks in Cowboys history. This was not just another NFC East win. This was goodbye to the Cotton Bowl, the Cowboys’ first regular home, the place where an expansion franchise grew from a curiosity into a contender. On Monday night, October 11, 1971, Dallas beat the New York Giants 20-13 in the Cowboys’ final home game at the Cotton Bowl before moving to Texas Stadium in Irving. The game itself was tense, sloppy, and very 1971 Cowboys. Dallas and New York traded first-quarter field goals, with Mike Clark hitting from 42 yards and Pete Gogolak answering from 35. In the second quarter, Clark made another field goal from 41, Gogolak tied it again from 20, and then Roger Staubach found Billy Truax for a four-yard touchdown to give Dallas a 13-6 halftime lead. The Cowboys’ biggest offensive moment came in the third quarter, and it came from the other quarterback. Craig Morton, sharing the position in what was still a very real Dallas quarterback rotation, hit Bob Hayes for a 48-yard touchdown to stretch the lead to 20-6. Fran Tarkenton brought the Giants back in the fourth quarter with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Clifton McNeil, but Dallas held on for the seven-point win. Dallas fumbled five times, committed six total turnovers, and still found a way to survive. The Cowboys also rushed for 222 yards, with Duane Thomas, Dan Reeves, Calvin Hill , Roger Staubach, Walt Garrison, Craig Morton, and Joe Williams all contributing carries. The combination of mistakes, toughness, defense, and enough offense to get by made it feel like a fitting snapshot of a team still trying to finish the climb. That is why this game carries weight. The Cotton Bowl had seen the Cowboys’ earliest growing pains, their first winning teams, the Ice Bowl-era heartbreak, and the rise of Tom Landry’s machine. The franchise was about to move into a modern football palace with the famous hole in the roof, but before that new era began, Dallas gave the Cotton Bowl one last win under the lights. By the end of the season, the Cowboys were Super Bowl champions for the first time. So this Giants game sits at a unique emotional intersection with the end of the Cotton Bowl chapter, the beginning of the Texas Stadium era, and the final steps toward the franchise’s first Lombardi. As for the Cotton Bowl itself, it will always be the foundational home of the Cowboys, and for that it can never be forgotten. So to the Cotton Bowl, we thank you on this episode of the BTB countdown. The next Cowboys home game was the first regular-season game at Texas Stadium, a 44-21 win over the Patriots. Duane Thomas scored the first touchdown in the new stadium on a 56-yard run. Countdown To Kickoff by day: 100 , 99 , 98 , 97 , 96 , 95 , 94 , 93 , 92 , 91 , 90 , 89 , 88 , 87 , 86 , 85 , 84 , 83

Eagles to host veteran receiver on tryout basis in minicamp
Yahoo Sports NFLSource ↗
The Philadelphia Eagles are entering the final week of their spring offseason workout schedule with two days of mandatory minicamp from June 9-10. During this time, the Birds will be hosting free agent wide receiver James Proche II on a tryout basis. This much according to a report from NFL insider Mike Garafolo . The 5-11, 201-pound Proche was originally a sixth-round pick (No. 201 overall) by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent three years in Charm City before bouncing on and off the Cleveland Browns ’ roster from 2023-2024. Proche then played for the Tennessee Titans last season. He has experience lining up both in the slot and the outside. With just 677 career offensive snaps (112.8 per season) and 364 career receiving yards (60.7 per season) to his name, Proche will be fighting an uphill battle to make the Eagles’ 53-man roster. That is, assuming he even makes the 90-man roster after a successful tryout. One factor potentially working in Proche’s favor is that he has a track record of contributing on special teams with 442 career snaps in that phase. Including the playoffs, he’s logged 71 career punt returns for an 8.7 average. Part of the impetus for the Proche tryout could be related to the Eagles currently being a little short-handed at receiver. Makai Lemon is reportedly expected to miss practices this week due to a hamstring injury . Britain Covey did not participate in the Eagles’ media-attended OTA practice last week. The team also waived Brandon Hayes on Friday evening. At the very least, Proche will help the Eagles fill some practice reps this week

Eagles sign rookie DT Zion Wilson
The Eagles signed free agent defensive tackle Zion Wilson, the team announced. Ryan Fowler of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that Wilson’s deal includes a $25,000 signing bonus and $225,000 in guaranteed money. Wilson played at East Carolina before transferring to Virginia after last season, but the NCAA denied his sixth-year waiver for 2026 last week. He began his career as a walk-on offensive lineman before switching to the defensive line before the 2024 season. Wilson appeared in 13 games in 2024, playing 70 snaps on special teams, and became a full-time starter at defensive tackle in 2025. He totaled 42 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and seven sacks last season. In a corresponding move, the Eagles cut wide receiver Brandon Hayes
