Was gonna say he talked about his type 2 diabetes on the today show a couple years back. I wanna say he also said had a heart attack around 2009-2010. 

Different Randy Jackson.

 

I think.

Based off reports from Tampa white is gonna hit the market. Apparently lost his job to kj Britt so it’s likely Winfield jr

https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bucs/2024/01/30/baker-mayfield-mike-evans-antoine-winfield-nfl-free-agency/?outputType=amp

Among the other unrestricted free agents is linebacker Devin White, who wound up losing his starting job to K.J. Britt and was seeking $25 million per year as a free agent before the season started (Spotrac now puts his market value at $10.7 million annually). Don’t expect the Bucs to attempt to re-sign White. 

Sign White!

Idk if Howie goes after David unless he’s one of 2 guys they bring in. He’s 34. I don’t think you can go and expect David to play 17 games. He missed 2 this year. They tried with Cunningham who was 29 (updated) and he didn’t make it through. Granted David is still better than Cunningham but i don’t see the eagles seeing a 34 year old LB as the viable solution. Hypothetically I could see it if their solution was something like sign jewell and they want another veteran who would take a 1 year deal to try and win a Super Bowl. Then you’d have depth of jewell, Dean and David 

I could see a scenario where because the LB class is so weak, the guys at the top aren't that great and get way overpaid by teams that have tons of cap room to burn, to where the Eagles think they're getting way more than their evaluations show, so next thing you know 2-3 weeks have gone by in free agency and the Eagles still haven't signed a LB and then you get news they're bringing in Lavonte David for a visit and sign him to a one year deal for cheap.

I think at that point it would depend on what David wants to do. Cause he’s already won a Super Bowl. Does he want to leave Tampa Bay to come to Philadelphia if it’s gonna be on a cheap one year deal? He could probably get the same cheap one year deal (no taxes) just to stay in Tampa and finish his career with Tampa. I’m guessing Tampa would like him back at the right price which is likely a price similar to what the eagles would want 

I could see the Eagles overcorrect at LB. Normally I wouldn’t say that cause it’s linebacker but Bo wulf and Berman have talked about it in the past that the eagles have a tendency to overcorrect when they get something wrong or it fails. This feels like one of those times. I could also see fangio asking for a LB. His system needs stability at Lb and S. 

i look at free agency this way, i think if Jaylon Johnson became available the eagles would be all over it. They wanted him at the deadline. So did sf so they’d essentially improve themselves and keep him away from SF. But i think the bears franchise him. So the market at safety is nice so i am guessing they tap into that market. i think they Realize they might have to spend at linebacker or they are likely relying on Dean, an older linebacker with a ton of miles and a rookie which feels like a recipe similar to what blew up in their face. I think the draft they’ll target OL, DL and Cb with their first 3 picks if they sign a S and a LB. Then use the rest of the picks to fill in depth at Lb, Wr and other positions

Yeah I think Eagles more likely to make splash at safety but I could also see Howie seeing Queen as a corrective move from last year which he tends to do.

Compiled a list of names I think the Eagles could have interest in in free agency

 

Cedric Wilson, Andrew Van Ginkel, Antoine Winfield Jr, Xavier McKinney, Easton Stick, Jacoby Brissett, Noah Fast, Jordan Hicks, Josey Jewell, Lavonte David

and DeAndre Swift as an own FA

 

It'll be hilarious when they bring back Jordan hicks and he just goes back to being the guy who's injured all the time instead of the rock solid dude he's been for AZ and MIN. I really like Hicks as a player but with this team's luck that's exactly what would happen

I think they’re gonna make a signing in both safety and Lb. But, like you said and Bo wulf has talked about in the past, when the Eagles see something go as awry as LB did they tend to overcorrect. I think we tend to believe they won’t cause it’s linebacker. I think they are going to because Dean showed nothing last year and you really have nothing at the position that’s remotely proven. If they go into a season with Dean, rookie and David i think you are asking for trouble. Dean hasn’t proven he can play or stay healthy. Relying on a 34 year old David to play 17+ games. And a rookie maybe he’s Carter, he maybe Sidney brown or he may just be steen

 

Cam Hart from notre Dame is a day 2 CB that is starter material.  He had excellent size and looks good in man and zone.  Good tackler at the CB position. 

Sounds like he had a nice day at the senior bowl practice today. 

Also love reading my boy Marist Liafau had a good day.  Really want him.

Yup

but im not wasting my time on you as you twist words and debate semantics. Never once have you owned your nonsense and you wont know. He may not have known your game or felt like squabbling. I realized long ago you arent worth my time.

So where does McConkey get drafted. Day 2 i figure?

They really should just rest him. Give him the week off and see where he was at after a week. If it was still bad then likely through the all star break. At this point he’s just trying to gut it out so he can have a chance to win an mvp. He’s missed 12 games so far and has to play 65 to be in mvp race. The likelihood with his knee and how he looks that doesn’t seem likely. Better off letting his knee get back healthy

Oh ok, so you can't find any either despite there being "too many to count." Funny how that works out.

Oh well, I still aspire to one day be worthy of your time, master TJ, arbiter of style and substance.

Top of 3 feels a out right, just not that dynamic to play outside, bet he has a very productive career in the slot

Would be a solid pick RD4-RD5

I like Kendall Milton in that range too
