Sure...they would like to have everything done before the offseason gets underway. But going past May 2nd isn't going to change any deal. The other players in front of him have to set the market. Smith knows the 5th year option is there... no shot the Eagles don't use it. Has zero to do with anything regarding how much he will get paid. Stop overthinking everything as usual.

The player doesn't need guaranteed money when the contract is set up to where it costs the team more to cut him than pay him. That's how these contracts are written. The guarantee number is for show in 75% of the cases.

April 15, 20241 yr So with Smith locked up now with an extension.... Milton is probably the only decision they have to make on keeping...but I think both sides let it play out.
April 15, 20241 yr Wow... so this deadline of May 2nd was meaningless... the Eagles extension includes the exercising of the 5th year option. Some expert on here who likes to think he knows everything ...kept making a big deal out of this May 2nd deadline. Perhaps at some point now he can realize his knowledge of managing the cap and what actually matters in contracts needs a lot of work.
April 15, 20241 yr Now we can see cap hits comparison between Smith....and Lamb when he gets his deal.

Milton is probably the only decision they have to make on keeping...but I think both sides let it play out. Smart to lock him in now and keep the tandem together. Now to add TE2 and a capable slot guy and I could run this offense. Hurts should have zero issues finding receivers to deliver the ball to. On the slot guy,I would like to have one who is capable of getting near the GL or taking it to the house from 40 yards out. Parker should be a viable slot when we are inside the 20. maybe Paris in the slot on the grind down the field. Still I would like to draft the future slot guy and there are many available with a round 5 pick. Hurts needs to see guys breaking loose in the MIDDLE of the field,not just the deep routes or sidelines. Goedert shines in the middle,not the sideline BS we had last year. Now with Bark,this should be one of,or THE top offense in the league if Hurts can step up as a passer and stop the bonehead mistakes
April 15, 20241 yr Author I suppose I need to remove Khryistian Boyd from my mock. if he doesn't want to play here,that's on him,but he's not the only fish in the pond,so eff him and his agent sucks
April 15, 20241 yr Author https://www.profootballnetwork.com/gabe-hall-draft-scouting-2024/ Boyd out,this kid in. Very rough. Should be able to get to being at least a BU with proper coaching. Definitely a WIP,but we are in no rush for a DT. he plays 3 tech,so that part is already in place. He has flashes of brilliance, followed by meh lay offs. No idea what causes this, but getting a paycheck could fix that issue HAHAHA. Money can motivate him. Round 5 may be a bit high for him. We'll see if a better DT falls into the gap where we pick

The "guaranteed money" etc....lol.

You don’t think DeVonta’s agent understands how Rosie doesn’t wish to have that fifth year option money all hitting next year’s cap? Things do change if we have to exercise that fifth year option officially.

This record is clear evidence of how far off you are of slandering our QB. Hurts got AJ to the greatest level ever achieved by a WR to a new team in that short period. Such a receiving record couldn’t be accomplished without quality passes coming his way. This on top of Hurts spreading the ball around, not like AJ was the only target.

Believe this actually goes completely against your point and backs up my viewpoint. Fifth year option was always a very crucial element of the negotiations. No getting around it.

April 15, 20241 yr Just now, joemas6 said: They exercised the 5th year option. Are you saying they couldn't have done this exact same thing on May 3rd? After exercising the option?
April 15, 20241 yr Just now, joemas6 said: Are you saying they couldn't have done this exact same thing on May 3rd? After exercising the option? This is going to be entertaining because everyone on here would admit they were wrong on this... but it's going to be a challenge. Just like you would argue today isn't Monday... you will try to find a spin. But...you said the Eagles wanted to do the extension before having to exercise the 5th year option on May 2. They exercised the option this morning, and then did the extension.
April 15, 20241 yr The guaranteed money...$51 mil. Now let's look at reality. Signing bonus... the rest if the contract for 2024 and 2025 ....all 3 eat up a good chunk of the $51 mil. They aren't going to cut Smith after 2 years... too much dead cap. So obviously 2026 money is also in that guarantee. Wouldn't surprise me if these 3 seasons plus the signing bonus make up almost all the " guaranteed " number.
