Btw...Matt absolutely corrected you...twice.

Since he likes detail, here they are. Adomitis cost the Eagles $61,111 per week (his $1,100,000 annual salary amount divided by 18). That weekly charge stopped when he was waived on 12/9, and began when he was signed on 9/30, for a total of 10 weeks and a $611,111 total Cap (and cash) hit. Hughlet's contract is $1,422,500 in cash, guaranteed for the full season (per NFL/NFLPA rules from the CBA) once he was on the Week One roster. As a vested veteran, his contract qualifies for a reduced Cap hit of $1,030,000, which is also due and payable in its entirety. So to date, Long Snapper has resulted in an Eagles Cap hit of $1,641,111 ($611,111 plus $1,030,000). If the Eagles had kept Adomitis as the Long Snapper against the Raiders the Cap hit would have risen from $1,641,111 to $1,702,222. Similarly, it would have risen from $1,702, 222 to $1,763,333 if he had played against the Commanders. The Cash paid would have similarly risen by $61,111 each week from $2,033,611 to $2,094,722 and $2,155,833 in the same timeframe.

There is no place for facts on this board. C'mon now!!!! 🤣 LS is our key to the SB, you should know that

Happy Holidays Birds Fans!

Sure wish the Bears game was before ours, we'd know if we had to win.

Hope yours are going well.

Boxing Day morning Eagles-Bills Game Score Predictions -- 52 hours until Kickoff

I'm headed out to the seaside for the next two days and won't have access to my spreadsheet, so this will be the last update with graphics until Sunday. Mini-updates from mky phone will have to suffice. But keep the predictions coming. I will "like" them as I see them.

The pendulum continues to swing toward Eagles optimism in the 29 predictions recorded thus far. 18 are for an Eagles win and 11 for a Bills win. The average predicted score is now an Eagles 22 Bills 22 tie ... headed to Overtime.

As we do each week, we are gathering Game Score predictions. As always, please tag your prediction post with @mattwill that way I will be sure to see/record it.  Score predictions can also have an optional "Bonus Pick" tiebreaker prediction.  I will be taking predictions right up until Kickoff. If someone posts a prediction without a tag, please reply to it including the @mattwill tag.

The 29 recorded predictions plus @RLC are:

Irrelevant. We didn’t sign a FA.

Irrelevant because you’re wrong

You are doubling down on your ignorance. Explain the weekly Long Snapper Cap charges in the two scenarios of (1) retaining Hughlet on IR and Adomitis on the active roster versus (2) having Hughlet on the active roster and Adomitis waived.

How many players count against the cap?

Would help if you understood the facts involved.

Dude....this is where your mind needs to stop wandering. How many times does Matt have to explain it to you. Like the tampering thing all over again. Why is it so difficult for you? Seriously

So you agree with Matt? It’s giving us extra cap room?

Lol.. after your tirade with GB and his post with the obvious message board error... you insulting anyone else is hilarious.

It's Christmas... yet you make it difficult to be sympathetic to you. Seriously I hope you get some help soon.

I didn’t tyrade…just so often having false words put in my mouth by him…falsifying a quote was just beyond the line. I pointed it out immediately just like you did. That’s it.

Once you understand it isn’t about cap management…with agreeing the move wasn’t made trading perfect for perfect….then it pretty much only leaves one educated assumption to make= our backup LS was part of the kicking issues. Now this is actually the decision Siri made. So right or wrong? Couldn’t actually say.

Now last game we got back our LS. It was really rough. Think this actually just goes to show how all these details need to come together for a successful field goal. 

But the point really is about optimism. That IF…big IF…if what I’m speaking about is all the problem was/is? We will have a reliable field goal unit. K confidence isn’t struggling…because he can do it just fine. Not saying this is exactly the situation. Ideally and hopefully it is.

So how much extra cap room do we have now after firing our LS? Sorry to be the one to let facts get in the way.

How much cap room did we open up by this move?

On 12/25/2025 at 12:29 PM, joemas6 said:

Ham... you seriously have to stop. This is why you convince yourself...even when you see things right on front of your face.... that something else is there. Seriously... life isn't that complicated.

Let’s see about that then.(hint: I’m not the one that’s wrong)

On 12/25/2025 at 12:34 PM, joemas6 said:

But your intelligence not understanding what the Eagles were being investigated for tampering about...you clearly showed an ignorance there and kept digging the hole. Then your spin etc.

I suggest you leave this one alone...you aren't going to look any smarter here. Matt is correct. Same with Tate...same with everyone else here.

You are choosing to take blame away from Elliott...or you are desperately trying to be smartest man in the room begging to find something that isn't there. Just move on

See this is why the fake quote by FL under pretending to be me is an issue. Because you still are trying to misrepresent my thoughts about the tampering. I made a point that everybody does it…no big deal. Which you tried to spin into something different from what I stated.

You really want to challenge Matt on who has better knowledge of the cap? Really you want to go there?

Challenging all three of you it would appear!!

Btw...Matt absolutely corrected you...twice.

Then you guys will just make a meal out of supplying the factual basis answering my question posed.

Difference between us would be…if I’m wrong? I own it and admit it. But can’t say the same about you three. But perfect test of character for each of you.

Just trying to educate really. No version anybody has proven me wrong at all.

I’m that hard core Eagles fan. So yeah I will even think about and discuss the LS. Our field goal kicking from our long time excellent field goal K…has gone south. Is it all just on Elliott? Or was there something going on in the entire process? LS got injured. So how much of a roll did the switch play in missed field goals this season? Siri fire the guy preferring our original guy. That’s not by my judgement…that’s Siri.

Sorry but did feel like we need the size to evaluate here FL.

Now…original LS first game back. Were the kicks short? Were the kicks just shanks? Were the kicks just missed in so many different ways by the K? Did all three kicks fail pretty much exactly the same way?

To make clear,I’m bringing Christmas cheer(in the form of optimism). Because we aren’t repeating with a crap field goals misses. Once you understand the very valid points I’m making….you could see reasoning for it to not be an issue for this postseason.
