When the news broke that it was for a 4, I was perplexed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing he's done was maneuver the back end of the draft this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn7980 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 1 hour ago, austinfan said: With the cap crunch and the injuries, Howie should seriously consider whether this team can legitimately contend, and if not, whether it should be a one step back season and try to shed some cap and go with some kids and live or die with them. It was one thing to go for a repeat after the SB, but this team is getting long in the tooth and needs a serious infusion of youth. Agree in general. Peters floated in the FA market for most of off-season showed the team wants to shed cap. Infusion of youth took place in the draft. The vets still around are the foundation type, where cutting may be hard to do. If the young bucks, especially the WRs, deliver on or before schedule, this team stands a reasonable chance to advance to the playoff. SB may be a bit reaching, though. Re Rosen, they should just focus on Wentz and Hurts. Enough to keep them busy this season. Rosen can't come in now to replace Sudfeld as #2. He does not have a fitting role in the packing order.

I would much rather he not be involved in cleaning it up. But that’s where Lurie’s loyalty comes into play. He built the Super Bowl champion. IMO, the cap is still in disarray from the Chip season. He went through all the saved money and spent the last dime on Demarco Murray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but they had to know Ertz wouldn't take it. 6 minutes ago, LeanMeanGM said: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe they increased years? Yeah, I'm sure they'll try to make his contract as manageable on the cap as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphagrand Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Cam Newton named the starter for the Pats. That’s a team destined for purgatory this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
