Alphagrand Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 LOL James Jones making a great point on NFLN about no preseason games; says in training camp certain guys are great in practice, then when the actual game starts they’re nowhere to be found. Nelson Agholor immediately came to mind; he just bamboozled the Eagles coaching staff with his practice performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 50 minutes ago, ManuManu said: George Kittle is getting 15 mil per year (average) with 40 mil guaranteed at 27 years old. Kelce is getting 14.3 mil per year with 21 mil guaranteed at 31 years old old. Zach Ertz currently has 13 mil guaranteed left on his current contract at 29 years old (30 soon). Based on Ertz' playing style (Great route runner, great hands, etc) he probably has a good 3 (maybe more) years left playing at a pro-bowl level, imo. Something like a 4 year contract worth 55 million with about half guaranteed would put him just under Kelce' average and right around how much Kelce has guaranteed. 13.75 mil per year with 27 mil guaranteed over the course of 4 years. You're only guaranteeing about 13 million more than what he is already guaranteed under his current deal, over the course of 4 years. Now there could be other factors the Eagles are concerned with...such as concussion history and what their doctors are telling them in terms of risks, etc. I'm not sure if there are such things as "insurance policies" on contracts against something like a concussion affecting his ability to play 4 more years, etc. But knowing Ertz, the only way that would happen is if a doctor told him he had no other choice.

They’re competing for the same spot — the slot. This phase has a lot to do with "claimability". Not sure if Burnett will turn many heads in other front offices, whereas Watkins may have been liked by a few during the draft. I also wonder if this season, because the lack spring evaluation, teams have an informal agreement not to do too much poaching after roster cut downs.

UK Eagle Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Is Burnett the Nasty Nate of the offseason? As for Ertz, if you sign a long term deal, you potentially limit the monies you can earn. Kirk Cousins took a risk a got paid. I'm sure Joe Banner is somewhere thinking, ITYS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I like Greg Ward, Burnett is better as a deep threat. Doesn't have the speed, but he adjusts to the ball well. Something Agholor, for example, was terrible at.

eagle45 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I don’t think Burnett makes a lot of sense. The team has young guys with speed, potential, and potential to separate. Then you’ve got other guys with no potential who will line up in the right spot and catch the football...Ward and Jeffery. Burnett doesn’t have much upside, doesn’t have experience, and simply played his a** off and had a nice camp. They don’t have a spot for that.

Green Dog Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 These next 2 days are going to be filled with movement and player shopping. If I'm the Eagles, I'm on the lookout for DB's, OL, and maybe a vet TE or RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if he is somewhat more "polished" than Watkins (Since Burnett has had time in the league) what gives you the impression that Watkins doesn't have the potential (The Eagles think he has) to become a solid part of this offense? And the chances of Watkins not making it through waivers is (most likely) much higher than Burnett's. Other than Watkins' blazing 40 time at the combine, he has received a ton of media attention during camp for his exceptional play as a rookie (in camp) and his rapport with Wentz. So long story short, a team would likely pick him up off waivers, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Manu has said it multiple times, Burnett has only been playing the slot position, whereas almost all of the other guys have been moving around.

I'm basing my opinion on the little I've seen of both. Burnett in Week 17 last year and a little of Watkins at Southern Miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
