Not sure if this was already posted. From yesterday. Big news. Running backs coach expected to be retained on Kellen Moore's staff. Its also funny to hear it referred to as Moore's staff. Siriani is the HC and doesnt have a coaching staff. His coordinators have their own staffs.

At this point Sirianni is lucky to still have his job.

Trouble is what happens when Moore leaves for a HC gig, because if he turns this offense around he's here for no more than 2 years.  If not... Sirianni and everyone are gone anyway.  

I think the Eagles might need to go the route the Bucs went a few years ago (not that it worked out for them...) but they might need to fire Sirianni at some point to elevate Moore to HC.  I remember the Eagles did years and years ago themselves.  Not for fear of losing the OC, but for other reasons.  Props to the old heads who know who I am talking about.

BG will be back. I don't want him back by Howie will do so. If Cox doesn't retire he'll be back too. I think Bradberry is gone June 1st

I would put enormous money on Purdy winning it. Regardless of how he plays the NFL would love nothing more than to run a "Mr Irrelevant to Super Bowl MVP" story. The niners are winning, Purdy is getting MVP. CMC will account for half of the offense and probably score every TD but all the credit will go to Mr Irrelevant.

And we thought niners fans were insufferable the last two seasons? It's about to get way worse.

From the spectacle, Purdy makes a ton of sense for the product - even in a loss.  Not sure who will win, kind of don't care either way if I'm honest.

I think Slay and Bradberry have skewed some of the expectations. I think Reddick would be highly productive for 3 more seasons. I think this season's dip was more of the issues with the defense that affected the whole team more than anything. Everyone fell off, not just him.

I don't know what to think of Reddick. His production is tied so much to the scheme he's in. I don't want to break the bank on a player who depends so much on scheme to be productive. He's also yet another of the Eagles who gets hot and goes cold. I don't understand how the Eagles invest so much money in to DL and those players never seem to be able to play consistent football. 

If they can get good return, I think it's smart to move on. 

31-27 49ers

I'd rather we keep Reddick.

Either way you need to replace him within the next 2 years. I fully expect the Eagles to spend most of their cap space and draft resources into the defense this upcoming offseason. If you get a deal you like then pull the trigger and use that money elsewhere 

What money are you using elsewhere? He only saves you 1.2 million to trade him. Thats nothing in bucket. It’s $20.6 million in dead money. @LeanMeanGM already discussed why can’t make it cap friendlier in a trade do to dummy years and bonuses. When they say help them cap wise it’s alluding to hoping they can get a player at a position of need in the deal on a good contract so they don’t have to allocate it to that position cause otherwise it’s 1.2 mil saving and 20.6 mil dead money.

I don’t have to trade him this off-season. I can let smith get more snaps and figure out if he’s capable of taking over in 2025. My pass rush wasn’t all that great last year and he was one of the few bright spots. So your pass rush is gonna be worse and you’re gonna use the money elsewhere but have a worse problem with your pass rush in your sb window.

reddick is a top 10 pass rusher and likely closer to 5 then 10. The Eagles are in a Super Bowl now window. explain to me how you’re going to replace one of if not your best defensive player and pass rusher when you already had a pass rushing inconsistency problem in 2023. Fangio is great but fangio lost his two best pass rushers down the stretch with the dolphins and their defense had significant issues

SB loss continues to hurt, as this could mean Reddick is out and our defense has another hole.

Could be wrong, but just a gut feeling we patch things up with bubble gum and paperclips until we inevitably blow everything up and start over.

Hopefully with a new GM at the helm

You think the eagles and another team are waiting til June 1st to get this trade done? Yeah i don’t see that remotely happening. If im trading Reddick i want picks for this draft and i want to move on way before June 1st. And the team getting him is unlikely to wait til June 1st to complete the deal

unlike if you release a player with designation of post June 1st. Can’t do that with a trade. It has to happen after June 1st. It’s why i said it’s more likely after June 1st he’s dealt at the deadline if the eagles aren’t good then June 1st

Something I didn't realize was an option was the ability to mute words and phrases on Twitter/X. My feed has been much more bearable since I entered a few names I was sick of feeling up my feed.

I thought you could trade using the post June 1 exception. I'm not saying I want to trade him I just wanted to mention it since I was reading up. 
But you're right there, I just read post June 1st trade is different than the cut, so yeah, not good.

Yeah if the eagles think they are SB contenders then trading Reddick isn’t going to make them better next year unless they want draft capital and use cap money to go get someone like Josh Allen or burns which i think is a dangerous game to play. To me your defense wasn’t good enough with Reddick. Without your best pass rusher it somehow gets even worse.

imo if we were in a rebuild, then it would make a lot more sense to me to be like. Oh yeah let’s just trade Reddick. Get what we can and build for the future. But your Super Bowl window is right now. So if you trade him, your defense is not as good as it was today. You can fill other spots and you get the draft pick to try to build. But taking away a premiere pass rusher and just building up other spots and hoping those guys hit (picks and FA) is a risk that seems like we likely at best are not good enough still and lacking pass rush. 

They need to reload (not rebuild). Good year to eat dead money and bring in a lot of young players, SB window is closed until the next group steps up.

Kelce probably retired, Reddick bad fit, Cox at end, Graham a role player at best, Bradberry washed up, Slay in decline, Lane gimpy, what "window?"

But you have a group of young players you can build around quickly: 

QB: Hurts

WR:  Brown/Smith 

OL:  Mialata - Dickenson - Jurgens

DL:  Carter - Davis - Ojama (perfect for 3-4)

LB:  Dean - Smith

S:  Blakenship

CB:  Ringo

1st, (2) 2nds, bring in a bunch of UDFAs, some young lower profile FAs, build some young depth. Next offseason add a key FA or two.

I've moved the Super Bowl thread from ATNFL to TATE, it'll open up automatically shortly. Please use it for the Super Bowl discussions.

You are under the impression the eagles think this is a good year to reload and eat dead money for a better tomorrow. I’m willing to bet they see themselves as a SB contender based off the coaching hires they’ve made. They aren’t going to concede this is a reload year with guys like lane, slay, graham (likely) and if kelce returns (who knows i doubt he does).They are all in and frankly they have too cause sirianni’s job is likely on the line

you may think the eagles aren’t in a SB but i guarantee you they see themselves in a SB window.

Also, a bunch of those young guys you mentioned defensively are unproven players. Ringo is young but proven nothing as a starter to say he’s a long term answer. Same with Dean. Davis has been underwhelming for where we drafted him and he might be gone after this year if he’s underwhelming again Nolan smith is young but also not proven to be a building block guy. You have young players on defense, but that doesn’t mean you can build around them yet. Because they haven’t proven that. They very well might or might not be built around. The assumption you make is that they’re good enough to build around. Jalen Carter and Blankenship anre about the only young ones who’ve proven they can be quality starters so far.

If the offense returns to form under Moore this year and they don't win the super bowl I'd do it the second the season ended

The issue they have is the void years over for the likes of Cox, Graham, Kelce, etc that aren't gong away any time soon. The FO have some interesting choices to make with using more void years vs taking some pain in the short term with how they sign players.

The team is moving on from one generation, so will have to trust the rookies at some point to settle the cap down.  For me, anyway

I think the Eagles feel the offense is pretty set and with a good OC can be elite and SB caliber.  Defense will have to improve but doesn't need to be top 5-10 necessarily.

It 100% is, this season really killed his support from the fan base. If they fail to perform up to expectations again (this team should easily be the 1/2 seed in this week conference and should win the division every year) he'll be gone. Whether they should or not, this FO has shown that fan opinion matters to them.

That’s fine if you don’t see yourself as a Super Bowl contender this upcoming year. Then go play your young kids and let them develop. We don’t have Patrick mahomes like the chiefs did last year when they essentially implemented a defense like that in 2023  

You believe the eagles are sitting here after firing everyone on the defensive staff, paying fangio and all his guys to come here and going out and getting Kellen Moore that the eagles don’t view themselves as in a SB window? I don’t how anyone can sit here with a straight face and believe Howie and Jeff are looking at this team saying they aren’t in a sb window.
