I don't disagree with the RBBC approach in fact I am a proponent of it.  But it would be nice to have the same stable of RBs together for a few years and not have them change every year.

I am perfectly fine with RBBC. But Corners and safeties, as well as LBs require more permanence. We need to address all of these positions in the draft.

D'Andre Swift to da Bears

Happy to see Swift walk for 8 mill. Bears needed a back and are happy to overpay 

Guess the Eagles will sign another higher priced rb from the market or trust Gainwell to be a three down back. Things aren’t looking great so far this offseason losing Swift, Kelce, and Cox.

luxury? they have one playable RB signed. 

Right now they have 1 back signed with Gainwell right? We all know he’s not a three down back.

There goes Swift. Poooffff.

They signed that guy from the 49ers... don't care to look up his name. I'll just call him Sermon Jr.

Not pleased about losing D’Andre. He was one of the few players who gave a damn even though he was criminally underutilized.

I think the Eagles will be in on McKinney but will see if they get priced out, kinda like they did with Marcus Williams 2 years ago.  Justin Simmons and CJGJ will be strong targets as well. One of those 3 guys will be in Philly soon...and I'm calling that a lock.  The may also double-dip at the S position...if so, I can see the 2nd guy being someone like Chinn.  

I can take or leave Barkley....would depend on the contract, but as for the player, I still think he can produce well enough for at least another year or 2.

I'd be good with bringing in Jon Runyan Jr.  I imagine G will be lower on the FA priority list if they feel Steen will be ready.  If they do sign a G like Runyan, that likely means they don't have faith in Steen at RG.

Ultimately, I hope we come out of FA with a S, LB and slot WR...all 3 of decent quality that will be notable additions.  

10 year deal to someone else please, 10 year deal to someone else please, 10 year deal to someone else please. 10 year deal to someone else please.

I don't like it either.  Another problem is Swift set the RB market.  The Eagles get nobody good if they go the usual cheap RB route and are only willing to pay $2-4M.

Could have just brought back Swift for less. Hell be hurt by week 5.

They were saying the same things about Swift before he was acquired.

Actually looked him up several days ago solid depth/st interesting to see what the contract is 

Should have never let him walk. 
 

 

Now we need a good, starting LB. 

"Got any more of those FA signings?"

So far the free agency has been a bit more than I expected, but none of the moves they have made are without some concerns. Some guys haven’t been full time players so it remains to be seen how they respond when they’re forced to be in that position. Others have had some injury issues in the past. This is a lot of change over considering the new pieces and the retirement of key veterans and the wholesale changes to the coaching staff. It’s a lot to ask to come together considering Sirianni is in a lame duck year. 

Howie doin his thang

We sure got younger even before the draft:

Huff - 25

CJGJ - 26

White - 26

Hennesy - 26

Barkley - 27

Baun - 27

 

Ok and Parker is 31. That actually felt like not the best signing to me but whatever.

It's always an unknown this time of the year.  It could be a Dream Team, it could be a SB Champion.  More likely somewhere in between. 

I don't get the logic in bringing in Kenny pickett 😒
