Entirely possible he told them he’d rather go back to Philly unless they outbid heavily and they balked

Maybe, but him and Denard Wilson are supposedly tight so that would be odd 

Quick personnel/armchair GM musing on something I have tried, but not succeeded n articulating over the years about various additions.

We all know the sunk cost fallacy applies to draft picks destined for disappointment.  But that applies to the GM (decision-maker), not to us (outside observers).

To the fan/observer, signing a soon-to-be successful FA at the position of a first round pick in year 2 or 3 may be the absolute right decision, but it's bad news for us as fans, as it reveals that a first round pick has gone up in spoke and we had to waste cap space to fix it.  

I'm not saying that's happening with Nolan Smith (Huff) or Jergens/Steen (Hennessy), but it would be disappointing if that were the case.

Bit surprised that so far Vic hasn’t brought any Dolphins with him

Need to see that year 3 base

Based on that tweet - the Eagles will have an out after 2 years. You are probably looking at a 2 year $16m style deal but with incentives he could probably make another $1-2m per year for making probowls / turnovers / how far the team goes. 

Should be a sign that the Eagles didn't bring any ex-Fangio guys with him yet. Maybe the market just sucks right now, but the Dolphins let them go for a reason. They aren't that good.

Sounded as though them guys weren't the biggest fans of him, Dolphins had no problem letting him walk either

I think there is more concern there with Huff/Smith than Hennessy.   I think he's just cheap depth.   They need it.

I'll never understand why fans choose to get butt-hurt over the cap.

One of Sweat or Reddick is most likely gone, hence the Huff signing. Hennessy is depth. I wouldn’t read too much into it being a harbinger that there’s concern over Smith or Jurgens. I am personally concerned about Smith though.

Her performance might be the best I've ever seen in a horror movie. Too bad the Academy doesn't really pay attention to that genre. 

Yes indeed. Amazing performance. Thanks for validating.

Make a trash defense even trashier. That's the ticket!

Hennessy was slated to start at LG for Atlanta before going on IR. I think he’s here to push Steen at RG and worst case be depth. The Eagles keep bringing in guard prospects for top 30 visits, so it might be moot.

Going into the season in March. Cmon man. Day 2 man jeezus.

Obviously they’ll address linebacker in the FA period or the draft. I just don’t want to rely on Dean for the success of that position group. If I’m them, I would treat this offseason as if I need two new starting linebackers. I had concern about them putting too much emphasis on him going into last season and it bit them. He’s below average when he’s on the field and he’s an injury liability. 

Also much more important to have an actual backup C with Kelce retired and not able to play the Jurgens sliding over trick.

What do you think about this? Good horror movie? Solid sex scene before the hot girl gets slaughtered?

The sex scenes are legit but not very erotic. Jenna Ortega, who gets slaughtered, plays Wednesday in the new series. She’s terrific in both. But Mia Goth? Just astounding.

Pearl in particular is quite horrifying. Especially the ending. X is more shock than horror. The two should be seen together.

Day 2 man... isn't even officially FA yet. Let Howie work. Call this out before Week 1 if he totally ignores the position again (which he can't because no one is signed lol)

He’s not solid. Below average player who is often injured. They need to have the mentality of needing two new starting linebackers this season. 

Aaaand free agency starts tomorrow. There’s also a draft thing where players come to teams. There’s also these trade things. Not sure why people are crying like the season starts tomorrow. 

Count me in the minority of people OK with relying on Nakobe Dean next year.  But they need a high floor vet next to him and some sort of reliable depth.  Zach Baun is fine as a lottery ticket, but he's more likely to be a below average backup than a viable snap eater.  That opportunity may still present itself between now and June 1 cuts, so no panic at that position for me.

Safety is probably fine now.

RT is a long-term issue ready to be addressed, but not in need of immediate 2024 impact.

WR 3 is a problem.  A meaningful boost can be found anywhere in the draft...but if you want that boost as a rookie, you probably have to look at rounds 2 or 3.  Beyond round 3, it's unfair and unreasonable to bank on year 1 help.

CB is going to be a disaster.  We sort of knew that.  They need MINIMUM 2 of them...and they'll be lucky if one of Ringo or Slay become/remain a competent CB next year.  Even a first round rookie destined for success might suck as a rookie.  It's just going to be a bad position for us next year.  Just the way it's got to be.

Good thing we have free agency right now cause Sixers are on pace to score 56 points tonight 

Blew your prediction out of the water with a massive 79

I’m ok with bringing back Cunningham but gotta grab another guy via draft or FA also

I thought Van Ginkel was a certainty.
