PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Eagles cleaned out their lockers, packed their bags and headed home after becoming only the third team since 1990 to miss the playoffs following a 9-3 start.While 12 NFL teams get set for a run at the Super Bowl, the Eagles (10-6) are among those preparing for a long off-season. It was a disappointing finish for a team that expected to contend after winning the NFC East title in Kellys first season.So, now what?Chip Kelly isnt going anywhere and he plans to retain his coaches. Nick Foles isnt guaranteed the starting job at quarterback. LeSean McCoy could be trade bait. Jeremy Maclin will become a free agent.And the defence needs work. Plenty of it.Our goal is to win this thing and to do that, you have to look at everything, no matter what it is, Kelly said. You dont know what presents itself, so you have to take a look at everything and say, Hey, what do we think? When the chance or an opportunity comes, you have no idea what youre going to get, but (you say), Can this help make us a better organization? We have to make decisions based on that.Heres some things to look for in Philadelphias offseason:FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK: Neither Kelly nor owner Jeffrey Lurie gave Foles a strong endorsement for 2015. Foles regressed statistically after his breakout year in 2013. He was turnover-prone, but led the Eagles to a 5-2 record in games he started and finished. Mark Sanchez revived his career in Philadelphia, set a franchise-record with a 64.1 completion rate, but also made too many turnovers. Foles has one year left on his rookie contract, so should be back. Sanchez will be a free agent who should get offers to compete for a starting job somewhere.I expect to be the quarterback, Foles said.FREE AGENCY: Re-signing Maclin after his best season one year removed from ACL surgery is a priority. Cornerback Bradley Fletcher, safety Nate Allen, linebackers Brandon Graham and Casey Matthews and wide receiver Brad Smith also will be unrestricted free agents. Defensive end Cedric Thornton and running back Chris Polk will be restricted. Fletcher struggled and ended the season benched. He isnt expected to return. Everyone else is in the mix.CAP SPACE: The Eagles will carry over nearly $16 million in cap space from last year so theyll have room to pursue free agents, keep players they want and extend a few contracts. McCoy, who is heading to his third Pro Bowl, counts for almost $12 million on the cap in 2015. Kelly wants him back, but it wouldnt be a surprise if he was asked to restructure his deal. Linebacker Trent Coles cap number is $11.6 million, so the 32-year-old former Pro Bowler will have to take a pay cut to stay here. Same for cornerback Cary Williams, who counts for $8.2 million against the cap. Linebacker DeMeco Ryans ($6.9 million) is coming off surgery for an Achilles, but Kelly made it clear hes important to the defence and the team.KELLY VS. ROSEMAN: Kellys one-word response good when asked about his working relationship with GM Howie Roseman suggested perhaps theres friction between the two men. Kelly praised Roseman for his work on contracts and the salary cap, but also made it clear he has final say on roster decisions and personnel. Roseman, however, takes pride in making football decisions and his 2012 draft suggests he knows what hes doing. Kelly lauded Tom Gamble, the vice-president of player personnel as a heck of a football guy and said hed support him if he got the opportunity to be a GM for another team. Stay tuned.GETTING DEFENSIVE: The front seven made progress in the second year under defensive co-ordinator Billy Davis. But the secondary allowed more big plays than any in the league and needs revamping. The Eagles could change three-fourths of the starting unit, bringing back only safety Malcolm Jenkins. Davis job is safe, even though he came under scrutiny for allowing Fletcher to cover top receivers such as Dez Bryant and DeSean Jackson one-on-one with the season on the line.I thought our transition from coming in here and playing a Wide-9, 4-3 defence to a 3-4 defence over last two years, I think Billy has done a really good job, Kelly said.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi Danny Ainge Jersey . -- Miguel Angel Jimenez quickly shifted his focus back to the Ryder Cup after winning his first Champions Tour event. Reggie Lewis Jersey . A wide-eyed 18-year-old visiting North America for only the second time in his young life, Caboclo immediately noticed the "big tower" his new home is best known for. http://www.celticssale.com/kids-terry-rozier-celtics-jersey/. Anything less than gold for either nation is considered a disappointment. Yet for Switzerland, advancing to the semifinal might be a victory in itself. Jaylen Brown Jersey . The victory strengthened Liverpools position in the top four after Tottenham lost 1-0 at Norwich in the days late kickoff, cutting the north London club six points adrift of fourth place and the final Champions League slot for next season. Shaquille ONeal Jersey . “The shootout, theres nothing wrong with it, I think its an exciting part of the game but its just one small aspect,” said Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman. “Its a skill exhibition. If you can get it back closer to regular hockey and have it decided that way; that would be my preference.” “I dont think its a knock on the shootout, I think more of the managers would like to see it end in overtime,” added Washington Capitals GM George McPhee.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Brooklyn Nets will try to move closer to the .500 mark when they host the Indiana Pacers Friday at Barclays Center. The Nets are 13-15 on the season and recorded their third straight win with Fridays 109-107 victory in Boston. Jarrett Jacks late jumper put the visitors ahead to stay and he scored 27 points to go along with seven rebounds and five assists. I didnt want to rush it. I wanted to take the best shot available, Jack said of his shot with 27.5 seconds to go. Alan Anderson scored 15 points off the bench and Mason Plumlee had 14 points and 12 boards for the Nets, who made 49.4 percent of their shots. Deron Williams had eight points off the bench after missing two games with a strained right calf. Brooklyn has won two in a row at home and is 7-7 as the host. The Nets will welcome Sacramento to Barclays Center on Monday. Meanwhile, the Pacers were aiming for a third straight win Friday against the Detroit Pistons, but lost a 119-109 decision. Roy Hibbert had 19 points too lead six players in double figures, while Solomon Hill, C.ddddddddddddJ. Watson and Luis Scola scored 14 points apiece for the Pacers, who shot 50.6 percent for the game and committed 18 turnovers for 22 Detroit points. Thats (Pistons coach) Stan Van Gundys approach, play the spacing game, Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. You got an elite roller in Andre Drummond... You got to give them credit, they played a great basketball game. The Pistons shot 54.7 percent and received 20 points from Drummond. Indiana will host Chicago and Miami next after visiting Brooklyn. Pacers guard Rodney Stuckey left Fridays game with a facial contusion and is questionable. The Pacers and Nets will play the first of three meetings this season and are slated to square off twice in March. Indiana won all four meetings with Brooklyn last season. Nets guard Joe Johnson averaged 14.8 ppg against Indiana in 2013-14. He passed Jerry West for 52nd place on the NBAs all-time minutes played list against the Celtics. ' ' '
