Your boy Mr Clutch Josh Allen didn’t look near the level QB before he got Diggs. Changed his world.

I can’t understand why it’s so difficult to understand my easy basic obvious cap management strategy. Clear the cap. Get a core group to build from. Try and pay a good amount of cap hits early. Then you have quality players to build on that you have much cheaper on your future cap. 
  Then start leveling cap hits out the next year or two.

Then once you have a contending team built…then you turn to the heavy backloaded contracts.

  Creating a whole different window to actually go for it with. Not just the one year…then decline until the wheels fall off.

This kid Malachi Corley interests me. From little Western Kentucky. 5’ 11” 215 pounds. Strong. Comparing him to being a carbon copy of Deebo. Not a blazing fast kid. But expected to go big on broad jump and vertical leap.

Could be a different weapon for us. He’s not polished at all. Basically a get him the ball and let him YAC. But very limited route tree right now. Would compliment our weapons on O very nicely right now.

Quinyon Mitchell seems to be popping up a bunch at the Senior Bowl. Played at Toledo. But saying he’s sticking to everybody.

No we spent that money on a SB window that wasn’t existent… you can sit here in hindsight saying we weren’t close but you look at 2019 and Wentz throwing franchise records in yards with no WR help making the playoffs and only losing because of a late dirty hit(we might have still lost even if he stayed healthy) then you spend to try and keep it going. 
 

Those several years of cap dollars happened us soooo badly we stacked a team to make the SB in 2022 two years later????? Again you arguement makes no sense 

Imagine if Ham was a Dallas fan....never having money to spend?   In one of the weeks this year the top 5 receivers were all on the Dallas roster in 2021. 

Imagine paying $10 mil for Pollard.... plus all that dead money for Zeke ...who also has more dead money coming up.   Just awful use of resources.   $59 mil cap hit for Dak coming up...but also going to have to pay him $300 mil to keep him.   

Watch the difference between Lamb and Devonte Smith contracts... the cash they get vs the impact on the salary cap.

Lol.... clear the cap only works when your roster completely sucks for multiple years....so you don't have any players to keep.   Like SF did for all those years in a row... it worked for them as 7 years later they are now SB favorites.   So there is your decade.  3 years of crap...then you can clear the space for 7 years later.

Wow.... imagine doing that to your boy Hurts....3 years of crap to clear cap right now?    I can just see the complaints coming... lol

Let’s blow the team up and clear the cap only way that happens. NFL cap is what 225m right now

Lets pay our QB Hurts 5 year 255m up front what’s that cap hit looking like ??? 35-40

Let’s pay WRs top NFL 4-5 years 100-150m…. 18-22m cap hits and we have two guys AJ/Smith 

Mailta- 14m 

Dickerson- what top Gs make like 10-15m cap hits 

Low balling the caps for these guys and paying it up front cap hits we are at 95m and that’s for 5 players that’s nearly half our cap space

Hunh????    Did we draft Reddick? 

LMFAO,we never signed Slay,or Bradberry. Never got Swift or AJ either. Howie literally has done nothing to get FA's in here for years and years. I thought you knew?

This is in part why I’d also say we could look into Barkley even if really really slim… He is very similar to CMC has the same ability as a runner and is a very good receiving RB as well.

I just really want a 3 down guy. Tired of having to take our best RB off the field since they can’t block or catch 

Except y'all want him cheap and that isn't going to happen. I'm sure Howe puts a lowball bid in for everyone then will work a little harder to get the guys we truly want. Showing "an interest" only makes other teams pay more(I hope you can understand this part). if you show "an interest" and get multiple teams to to sweeten the pot on their offers and you can get 2 or more,then you could start a bidding war while Howie laughs all the way to the bank

Because Queen was available... lol.  Who was available...that we could have gotten.  You make my point constantly when you don't look at the numbers and understand it's not a cap issue with the Eagles...it's their philosophies and player selection that is the issue. 

Byard was about the only choice and it was a bad one. Still you try. My beef is Howie refuses to draft young DB's. Ones you can bring along. He really needs to get past whatever keeps stopping him from bringing in high value draft picks. This is a great year for him to "reverse the trend". Still think RT/G will be the round 1 pick. After that Howie really needs to bring fresh blood in the secondary in round 2(with 2 picks). We should also get some comps picks I believe one is a round 3?. It's a nice draft for secondary players and LB's,but they need to be chosen by round 3. After that(us usual) the talent drops away. Of course you can get lucky like we did with Blank,or maybe after a year of getting killed a few of the young guys that played can step it up now that they know how badly they were beaten Still have Suamataia round 1,then Trotter(LB) and Tampa(CB) in 2. I have cade Stover(TE) in 3 and we should get a round 3 comp selection on top of that. I believe we trade that second 3 back for a high 4th and something else. With that 4th I take my slot WR Ainias Smith. THose 5 can all play immediately. It's pretty rare when you can have 5 starters at once. Sua starts at RG with the shot to take over for Lane in time. If Kelce hangs it up(I think he wants to try 1 more year myself) Jergens will start at C. If Kelce stays,he can relieve Sua to keep them both fresh. Then we can go from there. The others are upgrades from anyone else we have even at rookie status. Just take my picks Howie!!!!! the 2 round 2's speak for themselves. Cade Stover is an immediate TE2,the "other" weapon we need. I like Stool as a blocking TE so hope we keep him on,but for the 2 TE pass routes, Stover adds another weapon. Smith is the top slot WR in this draft(not the top WR the top SLOT) and a steal in round 4. And we can then get some dang PRODUCTION from that position instead of having 3-4 "iffy" guys,you have a top slot now,lose the rest,or keep 1 as a BU. But we really overkill some spots with a load of useless players when 1 GOOD one will do wonders

With that 3 we traded back for a 4th and whatever else,we can parlay all those 5 picks into another 4th and take a decent RB prospect and keep Gains and Swfit. They both did well until the collapse,so see no reason we need to lose them. Add a draft RB in 4 and grab another FA and that room will be fine for 2024

Yep…start out like that…and roll some over. Then you have almost twice as much money to work with going forward.

Slay pulled the trigger a year late on. But that was a trade. A.J. was a trade also. Swift also a trade. A.J., Swift and Bradberry all added the one year we could

Half our cap was on 5-6 guys lol how do you build idk the rest of the team so instead of sacrificing future years we sacrifice prime years????

Those cap hits gotta come off at some point. Start out so teeny tiny like Rosie does plenty if the time and it’s a larger cap hit than even that.

So all you’re doing is flipping the years we sacrifice lol 😂…instead of trying to capitalize on players prime years you rather pay them big and waste them 

Instead of trying to capitalize while our guys are in that prime 25-29 range we waste those year so when they are pushing 30 the hits are low and we can spend 

SO would you stick with Siri over Bellicheat?

Nah…just opening up a much larger championship contending wIndow. Just need to clear the cap first. Year one it’s for a team that isn’t a contending team anyway. Year two start building on top of the key core players.

A fifth of the cap goes to franchise QBs fairly typically anyway

Not so worried about filling the roster with aging vets and such. Do something similar to this year. Don’t have a position group like LB. Just let it ride with cheap options.

But your not.

Your wasting 2-3 years easy since you front loaded deals are roster was bad so we aren’t contending and we are have essentially league minimum fill ins since all our cap is being used on "core” guys 

Those front loaded cap hits won’t go down enough to start spending until year 3 mind you you want to front load those deals as well so how many guys would we really get 1-2

Come year 4 our core guys will be looking for new deals rookies we drafted will be looking for deals and that’s more front loading contracts how we affording them????
