1984 Philadelphia Eagles season

NFL team season December 2013 March 2026 Philadelphia Eagles 1984 6–9–1 5th NFC East Marion Campbell Leonard Tose Veterans Stadium Did not qualify Eagles seasons The 1984 Philadelphia Eagles season was their 52nd in the National Football League (NFL). The team improved upon their previous output of 5–11, winning six games.1984 Philadelphia Eagles Despite the improvement, the team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the third straight season. Whatever outside chance the Birds had to make the playoffs was sunk on November 25 at St. Louis, when starting quarterback Ron Jaworski suffered a broken leg and missed the remainder of the season. It was the most serious injury the "Polish Rifle" ever suffered in his long career. Joe Pisarcik took over under center for the final three-plus games. This would be the final season for the Eagles under the ownership of Leonard Tose; as following rumors that the team might end up moving to Phoenix, Tose would eventually sell the team in 1985 to Norman Braman. Offseason NFL draft The 1984 NFL Draft was held May 1–2, 1984. It was 12 rounds held over two days and televised by ESPN. A month later, a draft was held for college seniors who already signed with either the CFL or USFL prior to the May 1984 draft. While the Eagles finished the 1983 NFL season with a record of 5–11 and in fourth place in the NFC East Division they would always get the 4th pick in the 12 rounds of the draft. Only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Houston Oilers at 2–12 and the New York Giants at 3–13 would have a worse record. It would be one of the most power balanced years. 1984 Philadelphia Eagles 1 4 Kenny Jackson WR Penn State yes 3 60 Rusty Russell T South Carolina yes 4 88 Evan Cooper DB Michigan yes 5 116 Andre Hardy RB St. Mary's (CA) yes 6 144 Scott Raridon T Nebraska 7 172 Joe Hayes RB Central State (OK) yes 8 200 Manny Matsakis K Capital 10 256 John Thomas DB TCU 11 284 John Robertson T East Carolina 12 312 Paul McFadden K Youngstown State yes NFL supplemental draft 1984 NFL supplemental draft of USFL and CFL players This draft was held on June 5, 1984. These were players that were not drafted by an NFL team. In an attempt to head off a bidding war in its own ranks for USFL and CFL players. NFL teams chose 84 players from 224 available during the three-round selection meeting. Many of the big name USFL players were ineligible for the draft because their rights were already owned by NFL clubs. Still 3 of the first 4 players selected would become NFL Hall Of Famers. These players signed with the USFL before the NFL could draft them. Some teams took a chance and drafted players still so they had their NFL rights, The Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League, suspecting that the USFL was not going to last, acquired Walker's NFL rights by drafting him in the fifth round of the 1985 NFL Draft.
