The Ramos roundup is a weekly sports column highlighting all the news of the week featuring the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, and Union.
Jeff Stoutland Steps Away From Eagles
On Tuesday, longtime Eagles offensive line coach announced that he would not be returning to the Eagles coaching staff next season. His duties will be handed over to Ryan Mahaffey, who was hired a day after Stoutland made his announcement. Obviously, it appears that Nick Sirianni is comfortable allowing new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion autonomy in selecting his staff and build his own offense, but with that said, Stoutland will be missed. As you may remember, former Eagles lineman Jason Kelce often spoke highly of the OL coach, crediting Stoutland with correcting his game.
This perhaps is Stoutland’s biggest contribution with the birds that we saw pay big dividends. Nevertheless, it’s a new regime with fresh faces and ideas in Philadelphia. Time will tell if that’s a good thing or not.
Embiid, Sixers Outshine Suns 109-103
On Saturday, the Sixers picked up a their third win on their West Coast road trip with a 109-103 victory over Phoenix. It was a vintage night for Joel Embiid in the win, as the big man had 33 points and nine rebounds. Tyrese Maxey, on the other hand, added 29 points, nine boards and six assists. The win also represented the Sixers 30th of the season.
They’ll finish up their trip Monday night when they head to Portland to meet Damien Lillard and the Trail Blazers.
Philadelphia Union Sign Defender Geiner Martínez
On Tuesday, Union announced that they have signed center back Geiner Martínez from CA Juventud to through the 2027-2028 season, with an option through the 2028-2029 season and a second option through the 2029-2030 season. Martínez will be added to the Union’s active roster following receipt of his International Transfer Certificate and P1 Visa and will occupy an international roster slot.
The 23 year-old Colombian center back joins Philadelphia from Uruguay’s topflight, Liga AUF Uruguaya, after playing in CA Juventud’s historic 2024–25 season. He made 12 appearances during the Clausura, helping the club record five clean sheets.
