I just feel like DAL is going to be in the same cap hell with older players. I was all for the Parsons trade, I just feel that DAL wasted the return (which wasn’t enough to begin with) they got from that deal.

4 hours ago4 hr 1 minute ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said:I think the thing with Howie is if it is a generational type player, he’s willing to pay the price for that. Because generational type talent in their primes don’t always become available. AJ Brown became available because the Titans didn’t wanna pay him. The Eagles were willing to give up a first and a 3rd to acquire him and pay him the contract he wanted. Because they knew he was the type of talent you give up capital for.Now he’s not on the same scale in my opinion as Parsons or Garrett. But Garrett is a generational type talent. Even if you got four years of great play by him, he takes your entire defense to another level. Especially with Carter along side him. That’s why I think howie would be considering making that move. There’s a reason why he called up about Parsons even though Dallas was never gonna trade for him. Because that type of talent if it ever becomes available can completely take your team to another level.That said, I do not think the Browns would get 3 first round picks for him because he’s at 30. I do think they would get 2 1st round picks, a couple second and 3rd day picks and probably a young player on a rookie contract. Frankly, I kind of think the Eagles called them because they have Tanner McKee sitting there and they want to cash in on that trade asset eventually. the Browns are a team where they could use him as part of that trade so that is value in that trade for the eagles I think Howie likely doesn't assume what another owner or GM will do which is why he calls. He would have made the trade with Jerry if Jerry was willing and the other details fell into place. I think Garrett will be on his radar but I find it hard to believe they would be willing to part with multiple first round picks to get him. I guess it's possible he makes a draft day trade for him but they also have real needs at OT/OG that need to be addressed. It's hard to see them wanting to trade a first, even for a generational talent, when they have a need for an above average player and in a draft spot to get him. The trade for AJ was to fill a need necessary to get the team to be a contender. This team is likely in that contending status. If they get to the Super Bowl or repeat, it's hard to see where the justification would be to add Garrett.
4 hours ago4 hr 31 minutes ago, Joe Ball said:I don't see this happening. Not to be argumentative at all, I just think PHI is in such a great position to maintain what is working. For the last couple of years it's a tweak here and there and the talent pool is deep enough to make the next run. I think the moves made recently are the ones for this year to be back in the SB. Pass rush should be much improved with BG and Philips added which leads to less time for DBs to have to cover creating quicker decision making for them. Added depth to an already good secondary was smart, it's a long season. The offense is the offense and will round out as needed just like it has the last two games.I think next year PHI is doing the same thing, the core is solid, move in the right pieces at the right time, set up for the next run. As long as the core produces the ancillary pieces can be added for shortcomings as those are identified, PHI seems to have a very good approach to doing this. PHI is in a much better position than most, if not the best position to stay a top echelon team for the next few years, possibly the next dynasty team, maybe not seven SB dynasty but you never know. I could easily see PHI matching the Chiefs dynasty over the last few years.Yeh I am an optimist, and a fan of a rival team, but you can't turn a blind eye to solid management and talent acquisition which is what PHI is excelling at right now.I hope it's the case. My point is really that a move for Garrett would be in response to falling short this season.
4 hours ago4 hr Random question that you can only speculate....if the Eagles lost to the Rams in the divisional playoffs last year, how much less money would Milton Williams, Josh Sweat, Becton, Slay, Rodgers, Barkley, and Baun be making right now?Collectively, not individually, and over the lifetime of the contract, not per year. Answer in millions.Whatever that is, it's a measure of what winning a SB costs a roster.

I also think they drafted guys like Hinton and Williams who they believe with stoutland can be developed into quality backups at OT/OG. Really long term RT and RG. However even if you give up draft capital for garrett, they’d still have picks on day 2 and 3. Our best guards have been Dickerson (2nd), seumalo (3rd), steen (3rd), becton cheap pickup in FA. Brooks was a 3rd rounder we got in FA. Signed wiz as a FA. Imo RT is the spot I’d worry about. However i think the might believe with seasoning that cam Williams might be that guy. If he went back to Texas he was being projected as a potential 1st rounder if he came out in 2026. I think the potential is there for him. I also believe having stoutland that Howie believes he can find guys he likes and stoutland will develop them. Even if they keep those 1st, there’s a chance they don’t use it on a tackle either

3 hours ago3 hr It really is astonishing the lack of creativity every organization has today when it comes to uniforms. Every new uniform design is terrible compared to every retro one. Probably because they outsource these ideas to creative firms who are likely staffed by liberal arts majors right out of college with no sense of creativity or what looks good. Now everyone has to have their own black version of their uniform where they just slap black over their main color and call it a day. Talk about lazy.Every organization... ditch the black alternates(unless it's your main color), go back to your throwbacks, and you'll be good.

3 hours ago3 hr Given the massive amount the Jets got for Sauce and Williams, how in the hell did Cincinnati not move Hendrickson??? They clearly don't want to pay him, and they'll be lucky to get a 2027 3rd as a comp pick when he walks. You're telling me no one offered a 2026 2nd???

Can't explain it, just doesn't seem right to put a color in the uni just to change it up.

What exactly is the plan there? The Jags suck. Wholly mediocre, but let's try to win now!The Texans did it the right way -- they spent the draft capital and made a splash by selecting Stroud and Will Anderson back-to-back and came away with 2 core pieces. We can debate Stroud's abilities but he's their franchise QB, and they came away with a DPOY in addition.Jaguars spent all the draft capital on one guy who is getting 57% of the offensive snaps and 31% of the defensive snaps -- not sure that's what anyone had in mind when they moved all the way up to the #2 overall pick. Could have stayed at #5 and drafted 1 player who'd likely be used better.
