Uggg, that contract is just so odd. Howie has been so good at cap and contract evals over the years and how those contracts are constructed, im thinking maybe Howie took a shot from Doug Pedersons water bottle when drafting this contract cuz its whack🤪

Howie has been overcompensating since Chip left and Alshon is the coup de grace on dumb and expensive contracts

No Howie has been overcompensating to cover up his own bad drafting.  If he drafted better.  He wouldn’t have these dumb and expensive contracts.   

It's a by product of the Wentz trade up and having few draft picks to play with.  Overt loyalty to players who are close to hitting their career endpoint

, im all for being loyal to guys that help win super bowls and all that but one still needs to be responsible. I think howie got carried away with the loyalty mantra and paid for past production instead of future potential and its biting him and eagles in the butt

That is another head scratching move by Howie. He restructured his contract after he got hurt which makes it harder to move on after 2020. No idea why he thought that was necessary.

Not only that why would you restructure it make it harder for yourself to move him and then go all in on Hargreaves in free agency. I thought going all out for Hargreaves was a clear indication that you didn’t think Malik Jackson was long for being an eagle. you should Not have restructure his contract making it damn near impossible to move him if you were planning on potentially going after a high price defensive tackle in the upcoming free agency 

on top of all that he’s proven himself to be a POS

A lot of people were roasting reddit for down voting, while one person here has an unpopular opinion and it sets the blog on fire...

Russell Wilson and Ciara named their son Win.

Yikes.

Thats true as well. Howies drafting has been average at best.

I mean 2017 everything went right but most of that was cheap FA like P rob playing way above their pay and some good trades.

Howie minus the golden tate trade has been good good with trades and pretty good in FA but his draft track like you say isnt good enough.

Howie needs to hit on draft to compete because they dont have resources to be players in FA.

Build through draft supplement with FA and trades not the other way around.

The Golden Tate trade was a very good trade. The problem was he kept the wrong WR in the offseason. Tate with a offseason here to learn the playbook, work with Carson would have been a very nice player. He actually would have been our best WR by far on the team. So Howies mistake there was keeping Nelson over Golden.

The added attention most likely. 

The last 3 years on Fletcher Cox's contract are utter insanity

There is a renegotiation to happen, but it's already been done once before.

More math. Desean Watson's record against teams that finished with a winning record is only 9-12. So he's obviously another "loser" who doesn't belong in anyone's list of Top Fifteen quarterbacks.

See, this is fun.

True, i remember saying as much after the season. I think keeping agholor over tate was just howie being loyal to his super bowl guys again instead of projecting future, yet if one had no intention of retaining TATE then why rent him for half a season?

Just a head scratching move to keep agholor over Tate.

How soon before this cap talk is mentioned by the Eagles media/bloggers/tweeters?  We know you read here 😜

It wasn’t the unpopular opinion, it was the unwillingness to back it up with anything objective.  When the position was challenged he got hurt feelings and left, calling everyone else thin-skinned.

he was talking about their hurt feelings. funny how no one got that.

Yes he was, but no one had hurt feelings other than him.  His posts became progressively more ludicrous, and when asked legitimate questions he decided to ignore any objective discussion.

Yup. It was barely even challenged too. If you don’t think he’s top 15, you better have 15 actual guys ready to list, not 8. Then it turned into "you do the research for me” about subjective stats.

It had merit; it was a football discussion.  Most folks didn’t agree with his assessment of Wentz not being a top 15 QB.
