Locker room stuff is coming in thick and fast and I can’t keep up with it all.

Here’s a collection of the latest notes and quotes from NovaCare, where the Birds are wrapping things up.

Brandon Graham:

Spoke with Brandon Graham a few minutes ago, he said he hopes to talk with Howie Roseman and Doug Pederson later today to get a feel of where his contract negotiations stand. Says he wants to stay, but stopped short of saying he’d take a ‘hometown discount’.

Brandon Brooks:

#Eagles RG Brandon Brooks said he is looking at a 6-8 month timeframe for recovery for his Achilles injury. He said he is encouraged by the recoveries of Jason Peters and Derek Newton with same injury.

Dave is the clip master. He has stuff on Jordan Hicks and Graham.

Here’s the scoop on Nick’s contract:

Nick Foles contract details:
-Eagles must decide by 30 days before League Year (approx Feb 12) whether to exercise option for $20M salary;
-If Eagles exercise, Foles has 5 days to pay $2M to void, become FA;
-If not voided, $20M becomes fully guaranteed 5th day of League Year.

Chris Long:

Chris Long hasn’t made up his mind about his future. Said the determining factor will be the football situation — he has been productive and wants to be on the field. Loves Philly and his experience here.

I’ll update this story with more stuff later, when I feel like it.

Edit: some Carson Wentz stuff –

Carson Wentz says the full extent of his back injury wasn’t discovered until after the game vs Dallas. That’s when he and the team shut it down. On the injury-prone label some have thrown around: “I look forward to putting that to rest over the next couple of years.”

Carson Wentz said docs told him not a good idea if he played. Said “no idea” if he could’ve played If #Eagles gone further in playoffs.

“I’m not gonna go there.” — Carson Wentz won’t get into whether or not he wants to pursue a contract extension this offseason #Eagles

— Dave Zangaro (@DZangaroNBCS) January 14, 2019

Carson Wentz admitted the level of success Nick Foles reached might create more pressure on him. But he’s going to try to just be himself and put it out of his head. #Eagles
