March 4Mar 4 Hopefully it's just adding a bunch of incentives or something. Don't like extending a RB into his 30s
March 4Mar 4 I just heard on 97.5 the extension will free up $6.7M in cap space this year. Not sure if accurate or not since we can't see the contract details yet.

March 4Mar 4 Well deserved in my opinion. We owe last year all to him and I really don’t care how it will affect the team this next year, the Eagles are 2-time champions because of him.
March 4Mar 4 Give the man his bag. Deserves every cent of it. Hell, give him the freedom of Philadelphia and first crack at the best looking girl in town if that's what it takes to keep him happy and productive. LOVE the move.

Reward the player, and simultaneously help the team’s cap situation.
March 4Mar 4 I'd have to imagine this opens up cap space for this year and presents as a well-deserved reward to a player who had a great season. Combined with cutting Slay and Bradberry with post-june 1 designations, Howie opening up some cap space...probably for Baun, Jurgens and......Myles Garrett

It was reported by Jeff Skversky that it freed up $6.7M but I think he got the wrong cap number. Looks like it’ll free up about $500k (cap hit reduced from $7.3M to $6.8M.
March 4Mar 4 With the recent players cut/released and now this, maybe we're freeing up cap space for a blockbuster trade? Let's see, any blockbuster names out there that might want to be traded?

I absolutely love the man but wonder if they are fully tied through to the end of his age 31 year or if Howie has left himself some wiggle room given the typical RB age related decline you see. A few factors that may have helped are is that Barkley is just a different animal, his lighter 2020 and 2021 season workloads and Dereck Henry just went out and had a dominant season at that age.

Let's see, any blockbuster names out there that might want to be traded? Possibly. Or making sure they can re-sign Baun, Becton, and maybe one of Milton Williams or Sweat?

Though, I did still owe Blockbusters for a late fee on Groundhog Day... which if we did a Blockbuster Trade, the entire NFL would think it was "Groundhog Day" all over again...
March 4Mar 4 Pete Prisco says more guaranteed money for Saquon spread over the 4 years while creating cap space now. If true and correct, it sounds like a win/win.

He's more than earned our trust. If he pulls that trigger, it's most likely the right move. If he doesn't, it most likely wouldn't be the right move. But I also look at it from a standpoint of board traffic and potential board revenue that it can bring...
