Amazing how Joe decamara and people following him on Twitter think slay is gone. His cap hit makes it really unlikely. If he’s cut it’s 22 mil cap hit. If he’s traded pre June 1st it’s around 11 mil cap hit. And if post June 1st cut it’s around $8 mil cap hit. Only makes sense if it’s post June 1st trade which i dont see happening unless we suck and they deal him at the deadline. 

Probably just trying to get people to tune in and respond.

That said, I wouldn't mind if they were able to dump him. His attitude sucks, he's very "I love me some me". Half of him having a "great season" last season is likely the result of the rest of the defense being awful.

Also, he's a decent CB.  

the CBs are running

where is Cooper DeJean?

If the Eagles were to trade Reddick to the Cowboys, the matchup of Lane vs Reddick doesn't scare me one bit. The Cowboys are one of the top drafting teams in the NFL. If you can take away some of their draft ammo I'm all for it. 

They’d have parsons and Reddick. Thats a hell of a 1-2 pass rush combo

I don’t disagree I’d like to move on. Said last year they should either move on from bradberry or slay. Don’t keep both can’t have 2 30+ corners. I think it’s really unlikely to move him this offseason due to financials 

The amount of energy wasted in Philly sports talking about irrelevant crap over the past few weeks is pretty wild. AJ Brown and Darius Slay over absolutely nothing.

People are bored and free agency needs to start.

4.33 Quinyon MItchell

I didn’t think Mitchell would fall to 22 but that 4.33 probably sealed it.

They’re fans that also think he’s being traded or cut cause the cap went up so they can eat the bullet. I was like yeah they aren’t eating 8-22 mil of cap space just cause the cap went up  

What is the benefit in it?

I believe he isn't working out because of an injury. 

Tabbed All-District 1-3A first team at both running back and cornerback as a senior …

 

Richardson Mississippi State - 4.34 and 6'3

Yes and a pigeon nest on a building in NYC.

I saw a rumor, Swift to the commanders, 3 years 18 million. Thoughts?

Taylor gets more than that for one concert and I doubt Trav would go along with it.  Probably why the KC owner got an F- on the NFLPA survey.

Guess he's long gone  by 22 , I'd trade up for him or Arnold 

CBs running well. Great sign!

Time to put sensors in the ball for spotting and TDs.

Apologies if this has been discussed, but this new proposal to allow QBs to throw the ball away while in the pocket, so long as the ball gets back to the line, is seemingly bananas to me. If the NFL does this, it's going to drastically reduce the number of sacks, and with fewer negative plays for the offense, defenses will be ridiculously handicapped. 

My question is -- if this passes, does it drastically reduce the value of pass rushers? Does someone like Reddick lose significant value? Yeah, you'll still want to get pressure to speed up the QB, but forcing an incompletion as opposed to a sack is a gargantuan difference. On top of that, how many more roughing the passer calls will there be when the QB just dumps the ball and then still gets hit? Now the defense is losing 15 yards and giving up a first as opposed to a grounding call that loses 10+ and is a loss of down. I feel like this will fundamentally and drastically change the value of pass rushers...which isn't awesome for a team like the Eagles that pours so many resources into the D Line.

Defenses are ALREADY ridiculously handicapped.  This would nearly make them equivalent to Arena League levels of futility.   I hate this idea and think that it goes WAY too far.  And more importantly, the REASON they are proposing it isn't legitimately about 'player safety', but more so about the amount of time 'wasted' in determining if a QB was in or out of the pocket when throwing the ball away, OR if there was a receiver in the 'area'.    

 

Honestly, I think if this rule passes, my interest in NFL football will wane to the point that I will watch Eagles games only and ignore the rest of the league, which would likely be a stepping stone to just not watching NFL football anymore.     Like I posted yesterday, the NFL needs to stop the pretense and just eliminate hitting the QB from the rules.   Give them a bright neon jersey, give them flags to wear and let them play flag football.  Meanwhile, you also remove their ability to run the ball past the LOS, because that makes them a 'runner' and they lose protections... so just eliminate defenders having to make the decision.   Just stop all QB runs, give them flags to wear instead of being tackled, they just need the flag to be pulled off.   This eliminates the Tush Push issue, the Roughing the passer issue, the late hit out of bounds issue, the potential for hitting a QB high when he slides late... so many pieces would be eliminated with this one change to the game.

Oh BS.  What the Eagles determined was fourth and one wasn’t a kicking down.  I don’t think the goal was ever get to fourth and one, the goal is a first down or TD every down.  Now did it increase the long ball attempts, because it might provide an "extra” down.  Sure seemed like Johnson called it that way sometimes and he looked at what Shane did with the run all wrong because Shane studied the defense tendencies and played those.  Nothing suggested that Johnson (with contribution from Nick*) called plays based on that level of tendency study. 

* One only remember all the bombs Nick called before he gave play calling to giving the play calling to Shane for support of this presumption.  Also, I have frequently asserted Nick is allergic to motion.  Note how motion became part of Shane’s offense in Indy.  Hope he backs down on that with Moore.

Nah.   They were calling stupid QB draws in 3rd and long situations constantly.   If that wasn't in order to make the 4th down attempt easier... then it was even dumber than I think it was.  

The idea that it was 1st and 9, wasn't a media generated idea, it was a Nick Sirianni quote.  That speaks to the mindset, subconsciously... we don't need 10 yards for a first down, we only need 9... because we have something in our back pocket.    And I didn't say the goal was to get to 4th and 1... just to get into a Tush Push opportunity because it seemed like... you could predict the Push would come on pretty much every 3rd or 4th and 1 situation.   They fell in love with it and it limited their creativity, which was already highly limited.

It would have to be a truly desperate team to give a 2nd.  His market value is a 3rd round pick at best.

I don't get the sense he will handle adversity well but who knows.  

Wholeheartedly agree. Among the glaring issues with him, his mentality is perhaps the biggest. 

 

Mitchell as good as advertised
