January 25, 20241 yr ^^^^^^ Ehhh what if next season is worse? I see a step back and a losing record.

For starters, 20 players were signed to futures contracts including: DT Thomas Booker T Le’Raven Clark WR Shaquan Davis DT Noah Elliss DB Mekhi Garner DB Mario Goodrich WR Jacob Harris WR Griffin Hebert DE Tarron Jackson TE E.J. Jenkins LB Terrell Lewis DB Tristin McCollum DB Tiawan Mullen WR Joseph Ngata RB Lew Nichols G Jason Poe LB Brandon Smith C Lecitus Smith T Brett Toth WR Austin Watkins Source: https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/eagles_sign_20_players_to_futures_contracts/s1_17039_39835469 I've always had issues issue with who makes the 53 man roster with the Eagles and I see another example in the list above. Lew Nichols is exactly the type of back the Eagles need and he didn't make the roster butGainwell did. Take a look at Nichols' highlights and go figure that one out, Nichols playing style translates to the NFL for sure.

Well he'll have a chance to show what he can do ... he is 1 of only 2 RBs under contract once the new league year starts as Swift, Penny, and Scott are all scheduled to be FAs. The only other RB on the roster under contract is Gainwell.

Yet, the upcoming season is not a guaranty to be much better, with changes in coordinators, system and loss of some veterans. A NFL season is a grind and tough on an older player who plays on the line. Hard decision for Kelce whichever way he turns.

I expect a lot more throws in the middle of the field, compared to last year.

February 20, 20241 yr Typically, players signed at this time of year - like throughout the regular season - aren't "big splash" signings. Yet, fans still overreact to them. Howie has done this for years, bringing in guys to compete to see if they can even make the team. They aren't the same as the first couple weeks of free agency. Just because they sign a certain position who is a guy on the street not playing doesn't mean they are done at that position. They are camp bodies or bubble roster guys and most if not all of them will be cut. Similar to undrafted free agents, just collect a bunch of players and see if there's anything there. The ones to watch are the first weeks of free agency.
