I’d move JVR. He doesn’t fit what AV wants or AV really doesn’t care for he brings and doesn’t bring. he’s really been overrated every time he’s played in philly. His contract imo is the easiest to move. Has no clauses and 3 years at 7 million per is palatable for a team that needs a guy who’s a goal scorer. Still think it’s a team rebuilding that’s a low cap team would take the pick or prospect with him. Then try to trade him at the deadline. Would say giroux but his NMC makes it more difficult as I’m doubting he waives it. 

JVR's contract is definitely easier (1.5M cheaper, 1 less year). I'd like to move Voracek more, not because he's not good, but I think the team's core needs to change a bit. Having someone else in a leadership role either lots of toughness or speed will be good for the team long-term. Chuck Fletcher didn't sign either guy, so he won't feel like he has to keep anyone other than Vigneault.

Oh i 100 percent agree on I’d like to move voracek. I rather move voracek while he still has value In terms of his skill. He is still a good player. I think the issue is his contract is way too hard to move. I can’t see a team taking on 4 years of voracek at 8.25 per. If that contract was a 2 year contract i could see a team wanting to do so. The issue is next two years he’s still likely good. It becomes year 3 and 4 with a ton of money and he likely isn’t. 

if i could I’d ideally trade voracek and JVR. Getting those two contracts off the books gives you 15.25 mil in cap space add on the 8.1 they have right now you’d be at 23.25. If we had that type of space id make a serious run at pietrangelo. He’d be the best defensemen we’ve had since pronger. Add on we’ve had serious issues in the two playoff series moving the puck out of our defensive zone without turning it over. It also makes your defensive pairings much deeper. However that would likely be a pipe dream. 

I’m also guessing ghost is traded this offseason as well as I’m not sure they’d be able to keep him in the expansion draft the following season so either use him next year for a year or collect some value in a trade this year and free up 4.5 mil of space.

Fournette is a turd and isn’t particularly good at football.

I would disagree on he isnt good. 1100 yards off a inj year is pretty good. Also had 76 cths for 500+But 3 TDs only ? That is bad coaching, no wonder they are losing. However There is something going on with him cause they paided him a. nd took a -600k hit to cut him. That team though is a wreck. no one wants to stay there. The Culture is just horrible there. HC, GM, even the Owner. 

I'll take Fournette

All honestly his stats last year coming off a injury were very good. 1600+ total yards rushing and rec. Only 3 TDs from poor coaching. He broke one for 80+ for one of those TDs too.. They had something against him for sure. At a 4.17 mill price tag for 1 year Im sure someone will claim him. I just dont think it will be us.

Well, their coach thinks Gardner Minshew is a better QB than Nick Foles, so ...... 

Doesn't Fournette have trouble staying healthy now?

Ok while you're over there playin' wit Fournette, I'll give Holyfield his job. 

See you in December. 

So many 3rd year guys ready to make big contributions to this team. I don't think people yet grasp the fact that the "EAGLES" as a Franchise are a better organization these days. I know I know . You all think "Draft CEE DEE"  Switch off the TV when other team scores wuddevs. 

Look at the 2018 draft class and understand that's a CORE of your team. Maddox, Goedert, Pryor, Sweat, Mailata .  Or just keep buying more Jerseys you have to sell on Ebay I guess.

Fournett is a name. Dude averaged over 4 yards a carry for the first time at 4.3. Sure he had 76 reception for only 522 yards. He caught a bunch of out let passes and only 3 tds on all those touches is highly inefficient. 

Hes a 3 yards and a pile of dust runner.

Add in reports of lack of work ethic and bad attitude with injury history and its no surprise no one wanted to trade for him.

He had a rough upbringing and has a tendency to get into fist fights -- but unlike his LSU teammate Derrius Guice, Fournette fights men.  He's also prone to saying some dumb things -- he was lobbying hard for the Jags to bring in Cam Newton

He'll get signed for about $4M, which puts him out of the Eagles price point.

Once again, even in THAT arena, I'll take Holyfield 🙄

If a team claims him, its only 4.17. Best option for any team wanting him instead of taking the risk he hits the free market. 

Fournette in my opinion would be a younger Blount.  When he signed here there were no expectations for him to do what he did.  We knew he was a bruiser but erratic at best.  I think LF could do the same thing and then some.

I think you could get rid of JVR with a high draft pick to be honest but it is definitely a team that’s likely just trying to rebuild and get to the cap floor in doing so. 

voracek’s contract you are going to have to eat part of his salary. Even a young player i don’t see a team taking on that contract which has 4 years left at 8.25 mil per. It’s too big. You’d likely have to give up a pick and a young player. It’s really not worth it. 

i think giroux is tradable but you have to convince him to drop his NMC which is highly unlikely on his end with 2 years remaining on his deal. And I’m doubting you are getting a top 6 forward in return. Likely getting prospects and pick for him. If you did so last year or two years ago you have a chance. Even then i think you likely are getting high prospects and picks. He’s 32 now and slowing down. Making 8.25 mil per year. He’s declined each of the last two years from his 102 point season. Had less than 60 points this year. I have a hard time seeing a team giving up a top 6 forward for a top 6 forward making a lot of money and declining. Add on he’s been awful in the playoffs over his last 4 playoff series. He has 1 goal in his last 26 playoff games. 

It's a pickle for sure, and not a delicious one.

I think on a better team with better coaching and a rotational role, like here, he would be a lot more productive.

That said, I very much doubt we will have interest.

Eagles have big issues along the oline.... let’s go get fournette.

What teams are desperate for RB? I guess it's possible he ends up in DC.  He's not worth that for the Eagles.  

He's worth it
