My off-season plan (hope Howie's is better).

1. Hire Josh McCown as OC. We've seen the internal "continuity guy" before (Groh, Johnson), so I hope that's a lesson learned. McCown has played on like 1/3 of the teams in the NFL, has a lot of outside perspective that Patullo just doesn't have. McCown is as high upside as it gets at this point of the off-season. In a hypothetical world where Patullo was somehow a good OC, he gets scooped up as a HC the same as anyone else. I'm not letting continuity factor in at all.

2. Re-sign Baun. Whatever he wants will be good value relative to his value on D and ILBs being lower paid vs other positions. People are balking at the idea of paying Baun Bryce freaking Huff money are out of their minds.

3. Let Slay and Sweat walk. What to do with Slay is the hardest decision, IMO. But I would embrace uber-talented young CBs on rookie contracts (and Rodgers competing with Ringo if Rodgers doesn't require too much $) and not risk 35 YO Slay's play falling off a cliff. We saw the best version of Sweat in the SB and that's the version I'd prefer to remember him by; he's a frustrating player a lot of the time and has snap count limitations.

4. Make fair but less than open market level offers to Milton and Becton. Think Becton will accept and Williams walks. But who knows.

5. Extend Jurgens. Extend Blankenship and Davis if the money's right.

6. Trade Pickett and Huff. Eagles will probably dart throw a QB late in the draft and try to stagger their backup QB timelines; Pickett and McKee being a year off is weird (especially considering McKee is better anyway). Huff has more value to another team than the Eagles. Think he would trade at a discount but still return something useful.

7. Sign Khalil Mack. These kinda signings have a low hit rate, but this feels way more like Suh/Joseph than Robert Quinn. Gonna have an extremely young edge group with Sweat likely leaving, Graham probably retiring, and Huff being completely incompatible with Fangio.

8. BPA in the draft, lean DT => Edge => OL.

It's a good plan.  Need to add Bradberry too.  But would generate $75-100mm of dead money against the cap in 2025.  A big number.

I mean Hurts was hearing his Jordan "Love, Hurts" hoodie. Chris Long wore Sixers to the parade last time. Some players don't wear Eagles stuff either. 

Williams has said at least 3-4 times on camera he wants to get paid. Today he was asked if he'd like to be back he said "for sure" but make no mistake, he wants big money. Howie's going to let him walk. Too many other priorities.

Jason Kelce buys fans drinks at McGillin's

That fan on the right side looks like he could have been a player.   Big fella!  

 

 

 

 

Joking.   Everyone knows that's Tom Selleck's little brother.

I just hope they get the oc locked up quickly. If it's going to be patullo fine but I would bring in reoch or someone to help him with his first year 

Baun ain't going nowhere. He's gonna re-sign here.

I honestly think so too. I'm not sure if he's going to take a hometown discount or Howie will give him a mega deal but I feel really certain that they're not going to allow him to leave

A. It's Howie, I'll never doubt his ability to fleece a team.

B. Teams like the Browns and Jets are up against it with their current QB cap situations. 

C. Pickett has starting experience and is under control for 2 years.

D. My claim to fame besides being the EMB boob of the year was predicting the Bradford to the Vikings for a 1st when we still had the old boards. Don't doubt my crazy talk🤣

E. It's the offseason, we're going to have a lot of fun discussions about scenarios we think could happen.

Eagles aren’t picking up his option. He’ll have one more year of control 

Is there any video of Howie getting the beer can to the head?

Kelce was wearing an Eagles sweater under his winter coat. You can see some of it here.

 

Trying to pretend he was on this team shake my head smh 

Hurts giving Shayshawn a shout out was awesome. Good cut up here.

 

 

I need the Love, Hurts hoodie to go on sale.

He was never a realistic re-signing option. I don’t know why people kept acting like he was the #1 priority.

Becton, hopefully Baun. We’ll likely get a 3rd comp for Williams and hopefully a 4th for Sweat.

Eagles are gonna repeat next year. They're focused and still hungry.

Youngest and #1 defense in the league. Has that ever happened??  Doubt it. 

When you think back to the game, what’s the first play that comes to your head if it’s not the pick 6?

Can you name the NINE starting QBs to lose multiple Super Bowls?

Dotson's catch to the 1.

The whole point of what I'm suggesting it is because the Jets are staring at $49 million in dead cap from cutting Rodgers. Deshaun Watson's cap hit for 2025 is $72 million. Neither the Jets or the Browns are in a position to sign any of the players mentioned. Kenny Pickett or Tanner McKee offer them EXTREMELY cheap options at QB. Neither team is going for a SB, but I'd imagine they want to be competitive. Having a cheap veteran QB goes a long way. 

Pointless if they arent competitive. They can draft a mid rd kid even cheaper. Cousins and darnold wont have many bidders. Can find a minshew. Also cheaper and better.

i know you love the madden trades but its pretty silly
