Total FA studs that are young and entering their prime. Such an obvious positional room so void of competition and talent. Azeez or Queen just such an obvious move to massively improve our team. Should have been no brainer move. Such low risk. Huge payoff would be reaped from a stud LB playing all the time.

Extending a year before a contract is over is how it’s done. But I guess the Fifth Year Option….doesn’t really count. But my fault and mistake. Seems like I knew Smitty was up for a new contract this offseason.

What we’ve been discussing about Jeudy. But 13 mil all guaranteed and all comes right off that year’s cap. That part is just brutal thoughts for Rosie to even consider: paying for a guy on the cap during the season he’s actually playing to earn it.

That’s what I found funny about NFL.coms assessment. Sidney Brown being healthy wouldn’t keep Ceedy Duce on the bench. Chauncey is clearly the best S we have. Probably DB all around. There should be no doubts or speculation about him ‘earning a starting position.’

We saw how as good a football player as Blank is….he just doesn’t have that big speed to do many of the difficult DB tasks. When he got taken down the sideline deep last season it wasn’t any surprise. Just something he physically can’t do. He has great football instincts. Really like him as a player. But his range, top speed and recovery speed are his limitations. Those things just can’t be coached. But surround him with better speed all around and his skills will be enough.
March 13, 20242 yr 13 mil for a big time playmaking starter at a position of need….just seems like a soft ball move to easily make to massively improve our team. That’s 13 mil paid to a guy that’s very proven in the league already.
March 13, 20242 yr LB argument is similar to the RB argument in many ways. Why I was pro just go ahead and grab Saquan. Can’t find many guys so proven and versatile for that price tag.

March 13, 20242 yr Think we should bring in Logan Thomas. Versatile TE that will do any of the jobs. Guy just seemed to always come through in Wash. He was even underutilized there. Their new ownership dumped him off not realizing his value. He’d come right in as the 2/3 TE job. Nothing spectacular. Not a huge signing. Just an easy cheap upgrade the TE depth signing.

Sweat and Reddick are proven pretty big time pass rushers in this league. Everything has the feelings that we are just about to pretty much just give Sweat away here.

You just think no other teams are in the running and we can sign who we want. Maybe they didn't want to play here? You take queen which of these 3 are you giving up?

We signed some nice players. maybe they didn;t want to play here,maybe they had friends on other teams(see AJ). There are a variety of reasons we didn't win the bid. 3 big time signings and you are complaining

March 13, 20242 yr Was believing they just started the Reddick trade rumors so they could gauge league and each team’s interest and needs. All being smoke to cover for the fire of actually needing to move Sweat instead. The Sweat trade I’ve believed has been the real goal all along. Just the games Rosie has played to try and accomplish the trade. Trading away Reddick just doesn’t really add up much for me. He’s just such a quality player to need to sacrifice. If cap money isn’t in a dire situation? You keep players like Reddick.

Both have been on the block for a LONG time(that cap space you love). if we were keeping Reddick we would have signed him by now?

Maybe they didn't want to play here? You take queen which of these 3 are you giving up? See that’s just the question. RB Saquan isn’t really expensive. S In CGJ really isn’t expensive. Pass rusher is expensive. Especially since we have two high paid already rostered. Why can’t a starting LB be paid and rostered? Queen is 13 mil annually. With Rosie that would mean only a few mil against our cap for the next few years even. Like a pathetic four mil cap hit this season would be a typical Rosie signing. Why do we have to give up anybody or position just to pay 4 mil on the cap for a stud LB?
March 13, 20242 yr 3 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said: It's a JOKE try and keep up No point I’m not keeping up. Clearly my comment was much more reality based. Can’t judge much of anything at this early point of the offseason. Nobody has done terrible or great really. Keep trying to get across the point of the job consisting of putting together a complete and whole roster. Frankly our team isn’t very good at this point today. Which is fine. But really leery pointing out how Eagles fans seem to be beating their chests over these early signings. Dickerson was an obvious move needed to be made. But we coughed up so much money it reset the interior Oline market league wide. Nothing genius about retaining a guy we drafted by overpaying him. We broke the bank on that signing. Wasn’t any good deal achieved. Threw money at him like we were in a bidding war for a top FA. Then we’ve brought in several Edge players. But we actually have high quality Edge players on the roster. Easily could be seen as our usual over obsession over pass rushers. If Rosie fails to get much in return for proven vet strong starting pass rushers in a trade? Makes that whole situation all the worse. Pass rushers are so coveted….yet we’ll see what we get for our guy. The CGJ signing even. Supposedly we walked away from retaining him last offseason over so much less money. Now this offseason sign him for twice the amounts being rumored we headlined last offseason? He was pretty much injured all season even. Missing most of the season shouldn’t have increased his value so greatly. I’m sure his rumored signing is being packaged to us as much bigger than reality. It’s a "could be up to contract.” Meaning CGJ gets his respect of media reporting 3 year at 33 or whatever…when the real pay isn’t that.
March 13, 20242 yr The CGJ signing highlights what a massive mistake our GM did last offseason really. Pay twice as much for a CB than a S. The S was so very clearly the young playmaker in his prime. No study of rocket science should have been needed to have easily have already understood all this. CGJ was very obviously a better more talented player. A playmaker even.

That part is just brutal thoughts for Rosie to even consider: paying for a guy on the cap during the season he’s actually playing to earn it. So it’s 14m for a WR and if Smith makes a pro bowl that number goes up to just under 18m. And why pay 14m for Smith when you know we going to want him here? Extend him and have him at a cheaper cost makes zero sense to pay the guy 14m for 1 year… then he free to go into FA or we have to tag him???? Think Smith going to come back cheaper at that point lmao…. Just an absolutely terrible take from…And the Howie attack there honestly isn’t a better GM in football at managing the cap but yet you seem to think you have a better grasp on it

Lmao wow what did you think Dickerson was going to sign for exactly???? You don’t think Dickerson and his agent were not going to push for too G money when he was easily one of the best in the league over the last couple seasons??? We paid a guy that deserved the deal Dickerson is making what 21m on avg. the next highest paid G makes 20.5m by next couple years Gs will likely be around 24-25m and Dickerson will look like a bargain…
