Philadelphia Eagles

Terrell Owens is absolutely right when he says Carson Wentz is better than Donovan McNabb ... and that's not us saying it, it's another one of McNabb's former targets, ex-Eagles wideout Freddie Mitchell.

You might remember, we got T.O. out earlier this month and asked him who he'd take between the two guys and he didn't hesitate to say Wentz.

Mitchell was on that 2004 Eagles Super Bowl team with Owens, and when we asked who he'd pick to win one game with everything on the line ... McNabb got the short end again.

"I gotta have Carson."

Remember, Mitchell didn't have the personal issues with McNabb that Owens did, so his choice -- taking the 2nd year Wentz over McNabb -- he says is all about football.

Still though, cold world.

Terrell Owens says he'd take Carson Wentz over Donovan McNabb -- and he doesn't give a damn what his former quarterback thinks about it.

We got T.O. out in Beverly Grove ... and asked the former Eagles wideout to pick between the Eagles superstar QBs.

It was a tough call for Terrell, but ultimately -- "I'd probably go with Carson Wentz."

But T.O. says he ain't dissin' Donovan ... Wentz is just that good.

"Look at what he's done, and what is this -- year two? The upside for him is through the roof. He's definitely making his case for (MVP)," Owens told TMZ Sports.

And if the truth hurts -- that's McNabb's problem.

"So what? If he is, it is what it is."

Tom Brady? Russell Wilson?

Nah ... the NFL's 2017 MVP trophy belongs to Eagles QB Carson Wentz -- so says last-name bro Pete Wentz.

We got the other celeb Wentz fresh off a trip to Philly -- and the Fall Out Boy bassist told TMZ Sports his honorary cousin is a cut above all the league's superstar signal-callers.

Is Pete a little biased? Probably ... but with the Eagles at 7-1 after trashin' the 49ers, ain't a better place to be than the Wentz Wagon!!

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham just a caught a huge break -- prosecutors have officially let him off the hook for bringing a loaded gun into an airport.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Bradham was arrested at Miami International Airport back in 2016 after he put a loaded gun through the X-ray machine.

Bradham had claimed he simply forgot the gun was in a zippered part of his backpack that he rarely used.

Initially, Bradham was charged with a 2nd degree misdemeanor -- but we've learned that charge was dropped.

We spoke with Bradham's attorney, Adam Swickle, who tells us, "The state had no case against him and they found that it wasn’t something he should be criminally sanctioned for."

Swickle pointed out Bradham had a valid concealed weapons permit and didn't intend to break the law. Simple accident.

He adds, "Nigel is a fantastic football player and a very high character guy."

New Orleans Saints long snapper and star magician Jon Dorenbos is "resting comfortably" after open-heart surgery on Tuesday -- this according to Dorenbos' former NFL coach.

Dorenbos -- who crushed it on "America's Got Talent" -- was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm during his physical for the Saints last week ... which prompted the emergency surgery.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson gave an update on his ex-player's condition, saying, "Everything went well yesterday with surgery and he's resting comfortably."

"Just wish him and his family well, our prayers are with him and hope for a speedy recovery."

The NFL vet shared a video of his friends and family before going under the knife, saying, "Thank you to my beautiful amazing wife, my family, my friends and videos like this. This brought out some tears. I feel the love and support."

Get well soon, Jon!

A trade to the New Orleans Saints may have saved Jon Dorenbos' life -- because the longsnapper just learned he has a very serious heart condition that was discovered during a team physical.

Dorenbos -- who dominated as a magician on "America's Got Talent" -- was traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Saints back in August and had to undergo a medical exam as part of the deal.

Saints coach Sean Payton just told the media ... doctors discovered the 2-time Pro Bowl player had an aortic aneurysm that will require immediate heart surgery.

Payton says, "It's a pretty serious condition."

Dorenbos is 37 years old -- and the news could signal the end of his NFL career -- but who cares as long as he gets healthy.

NFL legend Drew Pearson stole the show during the 2017 NFL Draft with his minute-long pro-Cowboys rant ... and he's not done talkin' smack to the Philadelphia Eagles!!

TMZ Sports spoke with D.P. about his incredible intro for the Cowboys' 60th pick in the draft ... who says he didn't plan it to be so epic, but once the boo birds started chirping, he switched up his plan.

We also asked about Brian Dawkins and Brian Westbrook's attempt to clap back the next day, but Pearson says he's not fazed.

"Too late guys, too late."

Boom.

Ex-Tennessee defensive end Derek Barnett tells TMZ Sports he was nervous when his name was called to be drafted by the Eagles Thursday night ... because he was afraid of being booed!!!

Fortunately, that didn't happen -- most Eagles fans realized quickly this dude is a beast!!!

Barnett says he's stoked to begin his NFL career in Philly -- especially since he's a huge Meek Mill fan ... and Philly is Meek's turf.

One more thing ... yeah, his brother totally looks like Pitbull.

How do you like your Jason Momoa ... blonde or brunette??

Now you have choices, thanks to NFL stud defensive end Bryan Braman -- who says he gets mistaken for the jacked up actor EVERY DAY!

Braman -- who's about to be a free agent -- says he loves the comparison and says he's even down to be Momoa's official stuntman ... 'cause he's down to do all the dangerous stuff.

But who's got the better abs? Braman states his case.

He also gives us a man bun tutorial on the street -- and one thing's clear ... dude's got BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!!

This is blasphemy ...

"It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" star Charlie Day is living a LIE ... telling TMZ Sports he has no real love for the Philadelphia Eagles ... and actually roots for the New England Patriots.

If you don't watch 'Sunny' (you're missing out, show's hilarious) Day plays Charlie Kelly -- a crazed Eagles fan whose love for the team often gets him into hijinks.

When we got the real-life actor out in L.A. he revealed to us that it's all a goof ... and not only does he not root for the Eagles ... he actually sides with the evilest of all football empires.

It was only a matter of time ... but now the hotel worker who claims he was brutally attacked by Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham is suing the NFL star.

As we previously reported, Bradham was arrested in July after allegedly beating the living crap out of a staffer at the Hilton Bentley in South Beach, Miami.

In his lawsuit, the staffer -- a 50-year-old Haitian man -- says he was setting up beach umbrellas for Bradham and his team when the NFL star got upset at what he perceived as "slow service."

The accuser claims Bradham socked him in the face for no reason and then "violently tackled [him] to the ground" where he continued to bash in the guy's face.

The accuser says the beating finally stopped when bystanders began shouting they were calling the police ... and Bradham and his crew fled the scene.

The accuser says he suffered major injuries -- including a concussion, cuts, back pain, a broken eye socket and a broken nose. He's already undergone 2 surgeries to fix the damage.

Bradham was later charged with felony battery and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. He has pled not guilty in the criminal case.

Jon Dorenbos is having one helluva year -- after finishing 3rd on "America's Got Talent," the magician just signed a brand new 3 year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Seems like 3 is his magic number!

Of course, Dorenbos has been the Eagles' long-snapper since 2006 -- but after his massive success on 'AGT' coupled with the fact he's 36, some people thought he'd pursue the magic thing full time.

But that's not the case ... at least not yet ... with Ian Rapoport reporting that he just inked a new deal that will keep him with Philly until 2019!

Obviously, the contract won't stop him from expanding his magic career -- he just appeared on "Ellen" a few days ago and CRUSHED IT!

Congrats!

Josh Huff says he's sorry for bringing negative attention to the Eagles with his drug, gun and DUI arrest -- and says he promises to correct the mistakes he's made.

After being cut by the team Thursday morning, Huff has issued a full statement (via ESPN) apologizing to the Eagles staff, owners, teammates and fans.

"I'm sorry that any action by me brought negative light to this organization."

The Philadelphia Eagles have released wide receiver Josh Huff -- just 2 days after he was arrested for DUI with a gun, ammunition and weed in his car.

Huff was the special teams player of the week on October 26th after returning a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown on the 23rd.

Huff was arrested on Tuesday near Philadelphia -- he was originally pulled over for speeding and illegal window tinting. During the stops, cops say they found a handgun (that allegedly wasn't licensed) and hollow point bullets.

Philadelphia Eagles' Josh Huff was arrested for gun and weed possession after he was pulled over for speeding ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to the Delaware River Port Authority criminal complaint, the 25-year-old wide receiver was stopped on the Walt Whitman Bridge in Jersey around 11 AM after cops saw him going 25 mph over the speed limit.

Police say his car reeked of weed -- and when a cop asked him about the smell, Huff handed him a "tight vac" container of "suspected marijuana."

Cops say Huff also told them he had a handgun in the car -- which was found in the driver's side door, next to a magazine that contained "six hollow point bullets."

Huff was booked for gun possession without a permit and marijuana possession (less than 50 grams). His bail was set at $25k.

He was also charged with DUI and illegal window tinting.

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham has pled not guilty to a concealed weapons charge -- after allegedly taking a loaded gun through the airport earlier this month.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Bradham was popped at Miami International Airport on Oct. 2nd after officials say he put a loaded firearm through the TSA screening machine.

We're told Bradham had a concealed weapons permit -- but the bigger issue is that he was out on bond from an unrelated assault case where one of the terms was he wasn't allowed to carry a gun.

The concealed weapons charge is a 2nd degree misdemeanor and if he's convicted, he could face up to 6 months in jail.
