News about Miles Sanders

Exclusive INTERVIEW BY PETER CARLINE: Alexander Mattison has joined the stampede of running backs who feel undervalued and underpaid. Mattison signed a new two-year, $7 million contract with Minnesota in March, but his ex mate Dalvin Cook remains without a team after his release last month. Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, and Tony Pollard all have seasons under the franchise tag, and Mattison has echoed the Panthers' back Miles Sanders in speaking out.

Since allowing Pro Bowl rusher Miles Sanders to join the Panthers in free agency, the Eagles have found their replacement on the third day of the draft, snagging D'Andre Swift in a trade with the Lions. The move comes after Detroit unexpectedly selected Alabama rusher Jahmyr Gibbs with the No. 1 prize. Swift's 12 overall pick - a move that, along with the team's previous signing of David Montgomery in free agency, threatens Swift's position. Philly sent their fourth-round pick and seventh-round pick in exchange for Swift and a seventh-rounder this year, according to ESPN.

According to various outlets, the Detroit Lions have upgraded from one of their top rushers last season when they traded D'Andre Swift to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick. Swift, a former University of Georgia rusher, is now in his third season in the NFL, all of whom are with Detroit. He'll join an Eagles running back unit going through a change after losing Miles Sanders last year and replacing him with Rashaad Penny through free agency.

Miles Sanders has left the Eagles to join the Panthers in free agency after a season in Philadelphia last year, according to the team's news on Wednesday. Sanders, a four-year player in Philly, ran 1,269 yards last season before being drafted by the Eagles in the Super Bowl. In that game, he only had 16 passing yards.

According to various outlets, Rashaad Penny, the former Seattle running back, has agreed to a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, the NFC champions. Penny, who has played for Seattle in recent seasons, will join the Eagles as another exciting weapon to their already dynamic backfield. Miles Sanders' time in the City of Brotherly Love seems to have come to an end, according to Penny.

Any player is drafted in the NFL must follow a wage scale. Simply put, the player has no ability to negotiate the value or length of their contract, so even highly drafted players can often appear as bargains given their results. Running backs, on average, are more ineffective, and their numbers will fall precipitously as they enter their late 20s. The irony of it all is that their first years in physical fitness are often the cheapest. Sanders and Pacheco are the Eagles' top rushers in Super Bowl LVIII, and both are on very cheap rookie contracts.

Philly is 16-3 during the postseason, with Jalen Hurts, A.J., as the team's electric offense. In their previous two playoff games, Brown, Devonta Smith, and Miles Sanders' defense have only allowed 14 points total. They are now a 1.5-point favorite over Kansas City thanks to their facts. And though it's difficult to argue with Philly's resume, their relative waltz to the championship opens the possibility of being knocked out by the Chiefs.

Miles Sanders of the Philadelphia Eagles paid tribute to Damar Hamlin by displaying custom-made cleats before the team's NFL Conference championship game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. On Thursday, the 25-year-old posted a clip of his new boots on his Instagram page ahead of Eagles practice. Hamlin's jersey No. is visible on his left shoe's tip. 3 as well as the Bills safety's renown 'Did we win?' After awakening from a heart arrest he suffered during the Bills-Bengals game on January 2, he questioned doctors. Sanders' right boot features an illustration of Hamlin, which is rendered as a heart. Both the cleats are covered in white, red, and blue, which are the Buffalo Bills' colors.
