March 10Mar 10 Honestly Reed was not good last year. He was taking horrible angles, his coverage was lacking and he wasn't creating turnovers as often as he used to. Fine with seeing Mukuba grow and grabbing another depth safety in FA or draft.Phillips was always a goner, wasn't worth what he got.Dean was also always a goner, once they drafted Campbell dean was always going to be the odd man out.Will I miss all 3 and do i think we're better with them? Yea of course. Did I for one second think any of them were coming back? Nope.I also think this season is a wash anyway. I don't believe this new offense will magically fix anything, especially with 3 OL who are constantly hurt. It'll be another year of them leaning on the defense week in and week out, especially the firet half of the season where the offense will look like crap because "it's hurts' Xth coordinator in X years".

The offense still has Brown, Smith, and Barkley. For all the crap I give Hurts they could do a lot worse. Lane is back along with JM. I'd like to see MB come back and F Johnson which I think would give them some good depth if the starters are issues again. I think a new OC can solve all the issues because it was mostly creativity and adjustments. They were able to move the ball on people even with the OL issues, but that would only last a half.Defensively we'll see, but it's still the same DL that got them to the trade deadline and beat some good teams like the Rams. I think the kid takes a step at LB and Q and Coop should improve as well which is crazy. They are only going into year 3. If Howie can fill in some gaps at S and CB2, which they should be able to do Vic will have them looking great.Last year was a blown opportunity and I'm not sure they will be as good this year, but with a few moves that don't have to be massive ones they could be even better.Get a solid CB2, draft anotherSign a vet TE draft anotherSign a vet S draft anotherSign a vet edge or trade for one/draft anotherSign a vet OG/draft anotherSign FJ at OTDraft a WR if one is on the board when they pickThey don't need big splashes. Draft well and get some solid guys

First off, Almost every mock I've seen has the Chargers taking that kid from Penn State Ioane.The Steelers # 21 pick is worth 800 pointsOur #23 pick is worth 760 pointswe trade with Pittsburgh sending them 23 and 147 ( worth 37.5 points for a grand total of 797.5 points ) and jump ahead of San Diego and select Ioane. Boom.We piss off the chargers and get our RG for the next decade in one fell swoopIve seen a bunch of mocks with the Lions taking him at 17.Hes a top 10 pick in my opinion but he plays guard so hell slip. I think hes the best OL in the draft by far and he slipped anywhere near the eagles pick id be hard pressed not trading up. Problem is hes a day one starter and I Cant see the eagles using multiple picks to get a guard to bench steen when they have other holes to fill.We'll see though, Steen wasnt awful, Dickerson was awful but his pricetag dictates hes on the field so as much as I like the kid from penn st Not sure it makes a lot of sense roster construction wise

March 10Mar 10 Weird day. I'm encouraged that Howie made what I see as unquestionably the right decisions in letting Dean and Phillips walk for far more than they should be paid. On the other it's just weird wanting really good players to walk.But the odds of Jalen Carter remaining an Eagle long term are much higher right now than they were last night. So that alone should make today a good one.
March 10Mar 10 2 hours ago, HazletonEagle said:If they lost Philips, Dean, AND Blankenship, it feels like there is no reason to let Goedert walk at this point. At no point did we expect to have to let ALL of our talent walk. Goedert is the last big one left.IMO, Goedert is the most important of all to walk. They need to move money off offense to defense. At least Philips/Dean/Blankenship are defensive players. IMO, it would be inexcusable to allow 3 defensive starters to walk while overpaying an injury prone declining Goedert to prevent the offense from losing one damn starter. The defense lost Milton Williams and Josh Sweat and kept swinging. Now they will be asked to lose Phillips/Dean/Blankenship and do the same.The freaking offense can handle losing one damn TE that doesn't block anymore so that we can ensure keeping Carter/Q/Coop.
March 10Mar 10 Of course the moves the Eagles end up making(and have made) could end up being great and we could look back at this offseason a year from now going thank god everything went a certain way because if it went the way they originally planned, things would have gone to crap. But just on the surface, the vibes to me aren't great that the Eagles came into this offseason with a set list of things they really wanted and so far weren't able to get done any of the original things they wanted to get done.Wanted an experienced OC with play calling duties and targeted a few specific guys - nopeWanted to convince Stoutland to stay but giving up his RGC role - nopeWanted to keep Jaelan Phillips and to keep the great young DL in tact - nopeCould work out, but not ideal the things they really wanted to do this offseason have fallen through so far.

March 10Mar 10 I strongly advocated for letting Carter play out this season before extending him since I was so disappointed in him in 2025. But I think they should do it now as a morale booster (and really push for a bit of a disappointment discount). That will cool off the fiery pitch forks that may crowd around letting Dean/Philips/Goedert walk.I'd sign Blankenship only for a very conservative dollar figure. And I'd try to roll some of this pick surplus into 2027. Feels like quitting going into 2026, but it's not.It wouldn't be popular, but it gives Howie optionality. Evaluate the first 9 weeks of the season. If the mashup of Siri, Mannion, Hurts, and the Shanahan offense is a disaster, you will be grateful that the young foundation of Davis/Carter/Q/Coop is locked in and the rest of the team is disposable...and you'll want every one of those 2027 draft assets. If they are meshing well and taking flight, then you absolutely attack the trade deadline with the ballooning 2027 assets. Star edge, pro bowl CB, pro bowl TE...whatever...trade it all and go win a SB.

IMO, it would be inexcusable to allow 3 defensive starters to walk while overpaying an injury prone declining Goedert to prevent the offense from losing one damn starter.I think that's a tough one really. In my mind you need to keep DG for two reasons.The guy scores TDsThey can resign him and push money out that will allow that money to be spent on other needs (I want to say that would create 18m in cap space for PHI). If he walks so does a lot of FA money (20m?) that could be used on important replacements/signings.That's just an opinion, maybe I am not seeing to entire picture. I get you need a better blocking TE, but you still need DGs points in the red zone, and you need cap space, that's the easiest way to get it.
