Next year we only have 6 picks 

Rounds 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 7

Trading the 3 away... really limits us.  If we want another player to help... the difference between round 2 and 5 is significant in the level of player we can get.

Then next year will be extremely difficult to move up to get a target.   

The team has too many needs. 

With your logic I wouldn’t have brought in Saquan. He’s an All In going for it addition. Top dollar vet RB addition isn’t a move to make for a rebuilder.

What "source"? Another Chip Kelly ego. Maybe the source was a disgruntled Chip Kelly. How can you trust anyone now, that leaks meeting info to the media??? Time to clean that house also. They are top floor,brass plaque,closed meetings for a reason. Trust in the information is now gone. Someone needs fired and exposed to the league,so they never work in football again

Rosie admitted he called Bellicheat after his firing. Both insist the Eagles HC job wasn’t ever mentioned in that phone call. It’s very clear him being hired was thoroughly discussed in our building. But that line of "he didn’t demand changes”…that’s a whole other level things got to.

I’m now convinced we interviewed Bellicheat for our HC job while we were holding on to Siri.

We don’t want to stick with Siri…but not enough to upheave everything short term for Bellicheat.

So if we are going all down this rabbit hole I probably reconsider trading up to top ten. Clearly don’t fork over for Barkley. I clear cap.

That was already stated, nothing new here move long

Great now you want to breach contracts and destroy the players trust too 😆

They looked at Belicheat and decided they didn't want him. This is gargantuan news?? The Eagles org always turns over every rock,so they can make informed decisions. Why do you TMZ every run of the mill piece of "news" from "a source"? Who was the source,the secretary serving coffee???. Teams do tend to scout around when you go 10-1 then lose 6 of your last 7 while on your way to pilfering a SB appearance

What draft hasn’t provided 5 stud players? There is always a dropoff of that top tier elite talent. But top 5 eliminates that posssibility….in any draft ever. Last year I was real clear on grabbing Carter….or we missed out. Kept talking about the Saints trade having to be a top 10 pick. Turned out to be exactly 10. But then once the class shook out…10 still wasn’t quite good enough. The spot was 9.

Was it 9?  What if Carter went earlier?

He never said he wanted changes. Why are you putting words in Bellicheats mouth? Or repeating words of someone else that put words in his mouth? if he never said them,why is this an issue. They said the FELT like he wanted too much power. Those words were never spoken it was a gut feeling. Can we move on now? What does coaching fires and hires have to do with backing out of contracts and not trading up for the best draft players? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!!

Why?   This is where you lose me.   You think these college kids can come in here and automatically dominate year 1. I don't see it that way.  Look across top 5 of each draft. You tell me they all work out to being impact NFL player?

You absolutely sign Barkley and all the other guys to the 3 years that we have Hurts here for sure.  You think coincidence 3 year deals for new guys?

You keep some of your assets to trade for a vet if you want the short term help..  not " Dax' of a rookie. 

The rookies are for the long term investment.  Can they help rookie year, sure.  If you give up all those picks ...you move up to get one of the OTs or WRs.... because the CBs went off the board before 9 was on the clock.

Now what....you think the roster is complete?  Now how do you make the trade for a vet to help now.  You give up the round 2 pick in 2025?

Now what do you got....pick 1, 5, 7, 7 for next year.  

Not to mention 2 lost picks already from 2024.

Define "stud" player. And how many years do they take to develop? Was Kelce(stud) a round 1 player? Some drafts have CRAP talent. Just because one guy is ranked over another on those doesn't make them studs. College studs can fail miserably in the NFL,we see it all the time. Stud players can also have EGOS that screw up the entire team,so use that word carefully

He wants to throw in the towel,breach contracts, and raise the white flag because we DARED to see if Bellicheat could take this team to a SB over Siri. They decided he could not. he(Bellicheat) was also rebuffed in Atlanta. I DO wish Siri would grow a set at times,but laid back is just his style. Losing DOM on the sidelines should not have affected him like it did and Siri needs to grow up not hold onto Doms apron strings on the sideline

If we cancelled Barks contract/promise of same, no player would ever want to play here again(and with good reason)

So(back to the KO rules). How the hell does the league handle this because it's a 'trial run". teams will have to alter the players they have/had for ST's to different ones. So say you cut some guys to find better ones for THIS year. Then they decide to go back to the old rules,but then the players you cut loose could be hired elsewhere. i really don't think they thought all this out at all. Now if you had to go back to the old way, you'd have to go get all those players you changed out. When you put "smart guys" in a room it's like turning your 3 year old loose unattended in your kitchen with all the doors open. Expect a mess  and they sure delivered on that 🤣

No…teams tend to fire HC that lose their team like that.

Forget Belicheck  ...why wasn't he hired across the league.  His time is done.   Stop with TMZ.... it's the job of the front office to have conversations.   At least the good ones put in the work.  

Back to reality.

It’s different if you fired the HC then conduct interviews. They interviewed Bellicheat while Siri was still our HC. That’s noteworthy…and very telling.

They spoke with Belicheck... wow, shocking?  Lurie is a Boston guy...the model of how they did a lot of things contract wise, and some roster stuff has been modeled after NE style.

You think it takes a full interview to get to where Belicheck wants full control?

You get that in the first minute... but you would be stupid not to pick his brain while you have him.

We made the playoffs 3 years in a row???? Hurts lost the team

Especially defensively.   Which I absolutely think was main motivation for a conversation.

You have to rank the prospects well or you are screwed anyway. Different tiers on your board. Top 5 on your big board…better be a stud player.

Why would you fire someone without knowing who you are replacing them with during the season?? They interviewed Bellicheat to see if they thought he would be better for the team. Why would they lose Siri until they found that out?

Laid back is not the style anybody else describes Siri as
