EazyEaglez Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Well at least we are very familiar with how this guy always ends up injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_irie1 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I'm good with this. Plenty of cap space and he is a good player on the rare occasion he is healthy . Hopefully Rodgers beats him out in the slot then you have a starter quality backup for nickel and safety to play when needed. Everything I said depends on salary but it's not my money 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad we signed Tyler Hall earlier in free agency ... I think he could lock down that slot CB spot. Good to have competition though ... just hope it IS a competition and Maddox isn't just handed the spot out of loyalty ... he needs to earn it. And hoping Hall beats him out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojodancer Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I'm still on CJ Gardner locking down slot CB, ultimately. Maddox did play safety early in his career. Maybe he could be a 3rd safety or backup slot. Hall is depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Vagabond Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Maddox was injured signing this contract. He’ll be out 4-6 weeks. 3 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uscg-green Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Going back to the ex because when you left her you couldn't find anyone better. That's what this feels like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kz! Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I like it. He's versatile and can play in the slot or safety and would probably be an upgrade on the outside over some of the guys at the back end of our depth chart. I look forward to seeing him play around four games for us next year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you have no idea what a decent DB looks like, Maddox doesn't even reach that level, I would have though they would've been glad to get rid of his arse. There's a serious problem with talent evaluation in Philadelphia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Should be vet minimum since he can't be relied on to last the whole season. Hopefully this does not preclude us from getting more CB help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Should have just let him go, he's always injured what's the point. Move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Norseman Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Good depth signing, I like him as a plug and play guy. No business as a starter with his injury history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacesOut Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Pfffffff, depth signing, until he gets hurt while stretching out his hurt INSERT BODY PART HERE. He will be back at his favorite place in no time..............IR. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep_man Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 May start about 5 games for the Eagles in 2024 before ending up on IR. Nevertheless still a good signing imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle45 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Howie makes moves like this in April every year. This isn’t about making fans happy. This isn’t about Avonte Maddox. It’s not even precisely about nickel cb. This is about the draft. We don’t HAVE to draft a cb immediately now. And if we do, that CB doesn’t HAVE to have slot flexibility. It doesn’t mean we won’t. We probably will. But you can’t go into the draft with the restrictions of one fixed check box that is also broadcast to the rest of the league….that imminently needs to fill a hole for your 2024 team. Maddox is unreliable and has no future, but he can be a good nickel cb. And that impacts how freely Howie can draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draft isn't for this season, it's for getting the best talent to be the core of your roster for years. If they have a chance to get a really good corner, they should do it. Maddox will get injured again and be gone (again) in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very solid move and that's even under the idea that you can't count on Maddox to stay healthy for 17 games. It just gives them more options and chances are it was a super cheap deal.
