Dillon may get cut later. This doesn't mean they won't draft a RB. 

Last year they signed a handful of guys who got cut in August.

Possibly an under the radar type of move but BVS was signed to a new 1 year deal.  I didn’t realize he was a RFA entering this new league year.  Of further note he is now listed as a FB and no longer a LB.

SIGNINGS

  • RB AJ Dillon is signing a one-year contract, NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo reported.
  • LB Ben VanSumeren is re-signing on a one-year, $10 million full guaranteed deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

 

lol --- I'm pretty sure that's a typo. If not Howie is concussed from that beer can.

 

Interesting. Howie now has 20 draft picks over the next two drafts. including compensatory picks. I take comfort in that. It may take some time to rebuild the defense. Including 11 picks in the first 4 rounds.

Yeah, I saw that earlier, and that doesn't mean that 20 is it. He likes to trade and acquire even more picks. 20 could be 23 or 24.

Agreed. And that also doesn't include compensatory pick for losing Beckton. Interesting he hasn't signed yet.

Guy is a beast.  247 lbs.  They're already calling the new offensive backfield of Barkley and Dillon the "Quad Squad"

Great name. Dillon is known as the Quad Father. 🤣

With Dillon back there... We are gonna tush push on 4th and 5 now lol

Not talked much yet, we need to draft a TE to take over in a couple seasons. DG is still good for now, but getting long in teeth.  Behind him, #81 is more a receiver than blocker.  Couple behind him are moving in & out of PS.  Draft one in the early rounds to develop sounds wise.

Tankathon has the following TE ranking.  I would love to get either Taylor or Arroyo at our 64th pick and then take Jackson Hawes in the 5th Round.

Howie could of had him on the cheap. Rodgers too. I guess now Trotter will play. Still holding out hope for Bechton. Keep that line intact. 

Becton is still hanging fire.

Really need Huff to step the F up this upcoming season. He always seemed to low effort whenever I saw him out there

That would be a real bonus.  Not one I’m willing to bank on, but one can hope.

Harold Fannin, Jr. might be a name to watch given that his HC at Bowling Green is now the Eagles QB coach.  I would, however, like to see somebody with greater size.

stockpiling picks translates into higher picks if Howie decides to use them to trade up which he likely would do

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. Even if it's not this draft, it could be next years. I definitely see the possibility of him doing what he did in 2018 and trade pick 32 and drop out of the first round and then possibly using the acquired picks to move up elsewhere, or get more picks in 2026. 

Of course in 2018, he traded 32 to the Ravens who got Lamar Jackson. Howie turned that into Dallas Goedert, Avante Maddox and Miles Sanders (and maybe more, it's too late to follow the entire trail lol). 

It sucks losing who we've lost, but it's in Howie's hands, and we can't ask for more than that.

I doubt Howie selects twenty players, but that does allow the Eagles to have some options. Moving up and down a draft board or packaging some picks for someone’s player in their prime. It’s definitely thinking about longevity over win now.

Warren is likely a pipe dream.  Mason Taylor is someone I'd have interest in.

I also doubt he does, but he could draft 8

What the proper way to embed something posted on X?  Do you need to have an account (because I do not)?

Just copy the web address of the post on X and paste into your EMB post.  Sometimes you'll be prompted to past as plain text in order for it to embed.

And yes, probably a good idea to open an account on X.  You'll get breaking Eagles news if you do.

This is how I do it, which can be hit or miss but when it works for me, this is how it works.

Go to the tweet you want to post and at the bottom right, click the 'Share' icon (the bracked wit the arrow):

Click "copy link", then come here and paste the link:

See where it says "Paste as plain text instead"? Click that and if it's going to work, you'll get the tweet embedded.
