I don't think there's a lot of consternation in here about the guys Howie let go. There was some minor about Blankenship because he got paid under projected value, but other than that everyone here was cool with Dean, Phillips, etc leaving town.

Bro, you spent the first few days of free agency complaining about how terrible free agency was going and complained about last year. lol

Most fans understand the plan. There are some though, who have screamed for 2 years that Howie is failing the offseason. And they aren't necessarily mad about some players leaving, but there are a lot of complaints that Howie didn't spend bigger money to replace them. To the bolded, not "everyone" was cool with Phillips leaving, many wanted him kept and were mad they didn't replace him with a better option than Arnold Ebiketie.

It's just funny seeing different complaints from some fans about not keeping good players, then other posts suggesting trading away our good players (like DeVonta Smith).

So anyway here are just a few of your posts complaining they let players leave town...

The bad part is losing the player not that they didn't match the offer. I don't think the Eagles should have matched that offer, it's ridiculous. But he was an important player to keep and they couldn't get it done. And if the pass rush sucks next season no one will be saying "It's all good, this is fine because we couldn't match Phillips." All they'll care about is the pass rush sucks. They need a pivot and a big one. Edge is their biggest need of the offseason right now... in an offseason where they need to get younger and cheaper on offense.

Holy crap this offseason has been a disaster so far. Worst start to an offseason I can ever remember

If your free agency ends with Woolen as your far and away "high profile" signing and every other signing are largely lower level guys, then that is a pretty terrible free agency class. Woolen himself is no sure thing. He's a high risk high reward player who could be really good, but could also be benched by Fangio midway through the season because he doesn't wanna put up with his BS anymore. Especially with the sting of being close on Phillips, being close on Hendrickson, and if they lose Goedert too when it seems by all indications they're trying to get that done. Would just be a disaster class free agency by Howie. Hopefully it doesn't come to that and in a few days we're talking about trading for Greenard and re-signing Goedert.

lol

    I don’t usually get personal on here, but your post hit me. I’ve been where you are. I’ve had a couple suicide attempts in my past and spent time in inpatient treatment afterward. I’m still in therap

In 2024, Mann did a bunch of the kickoffs. There was speculation that Elliott struggled from not getting those kicks. Then in 2025, Elliott was back kicking off but with the new rules, not booming kicks through the end zone. Now the speculation is that the problem is pure Elliott. But let’s look at what transpired over both seasons. In 2024, Lovato looked bad as a long snapper, a continuation of slippage from 2023. So they let Lovato walk and signed the ancient Hughlett, a highly rated LS. But Hughlett was coming off of injury and was dinged on and off, limiting chemistry in the role and also resulting in street free agent providing some long snapping. I wonder if that had an impact on Elliott. The good news is that Tyler Brown is out showing up at Pro days. There are a couple pretty decent LSs coming out this year.

This is so disingenuous. Those two are not mutually exclusive. I never once said the Eagles should have re-signed Phillips at that price. In fact, I said the opposite. I said I would not have paid him what he was paid. That doesn't mean him leaving doesn't hurt the team, which it did. There's a difference between saying a team should not let a player leave and saying the player leaving makes the team worse. The Eagles error was not refusing to match that offer. It was that they were unable to get him signed. Again, you keep looking at this through the lens of blame. You need to stop that.

I do believe this offseason as a whole has been bad. I also have no issues letting almost everyone go except Blankenship, and even then it's not like they lost an all pro player. Both things can be true at the same time.

You. Are. THE MOST ACCURATE REPORTER!

There are guys with way too much time on their hands in here. OMG, they must spend 30 minutes per post matriculating down that page. 😄 And not even getting paid. This can't be true! Need a job? A wife? A husband? A dog? JFC.

All these excuses for Elliott are nauseating. He's a dang professional. Plenty of kickers who have the same adjustments with snappers, holders etc. And if they foul up for 2 straight years, they usually get canned. He's just washed. It's that simple. Go with the most simple answer here. To start, he's already not that great of a kicker because of his mediocre range in today's NFL before he gets on the football field.

I said the same thing during the season.

Long snapping was the issue 2 years ago.

Last year Jake hit a lull whe our starting long snapper got injured and missed time.

One unfortunate thing though is that Elliott did not get better when his starter returned. But who knows if maybe the snaps weren't quite right.

Only the team knows what went on and theyve just increased their commitment to our kicker so, I'll trust it.

The latter two are dishonestly framed and the first one is not remotely controversial or take-y. The Eagles came into the offseason wanting badly to re-sign Phillips. They couldn't get it done and I can guarantee you they are disappointed they couldn't get it done as well. I don't want to trade Devonta Smith. I'd consider trading him if he demands 35m per season, which we don't even know that he will. Even if he wants a new deal it may not be at that price. It hasn't gotten to that point and even then I'd only do it for a very high price like a 1st and 2nd rounder. Once again, disingenuous.

And if the Cowboys had the offseason the Eagles are having, we'd all be mocking them right now.

-None of their top coordinator targets wanted to take the job and went to inferior organizations

-Hired a guy who has never once in his life ran an offense before and has only coached in the NFL for two seasons and coached two total seasons at any level

-Drove their generational OL coach out of town

-Hired a replacement who the opposing organization had no interest in bringing back and fans were celebrating leaving

-Had to talk their DC out of retirement

-Two key OL are in Columbia getting stem cell therapy hoping it'll get them healthy because they still obviously aren't feeling right or they wouldn't have done that

-Might trade their best WR because he's miserable

-And their top free agent signing is a talented guy, but a guy his previous team benched on multiple occasions for being a bit of an airhead

That doesn't mean it all can't work. But if Dallas had this offseason we'd be laughing at them. And you know it.

There's still a lot of time left and Howie may make some big splashes or have a killer draft, but I can only judge on where things stand right now, and that's how I feel about the offseason so far.

Let's also blame the new footballs for Elliott. 😅 I forgot that one. And that he may have been injured. Have heard all of them in here. All total BS. The results are what they are. 50% of his last 6 years are bad numbers. I have to think the Eagles are bringing in competition this year and if anyone stands out they may get the job, especially if Elliott continues to stink. At least start with someone on the practice squad and keep him on a short leash.

To be fair, if Dallas had the offseason we've had in 2026, it would be their best start to an offseason in over a decade.

If they didn't draft well, that organization under decrepit Jerry would be the Jets. It's the only thing saving them.

Howie had a bad offseason last season. You know how I know? He took a superbowl juggernaut one year and followed it up with a whimpering and low energy team. That suffered a one and done playoff season ender to the hands of a weak 49ers team, at home. And is in jeopardy of losing a potential dynasty team that was right in his grasp. This year will decide if last year was a fluke. I'm patient to see how this turns out before I wanna break his neck.

So Mekhi Becton was the keystone piece to the team's Super Bowl run in 2024? The team lost no other starter from the 2024 roster on offense.

Well that deepens the cut for RememberTheRetard. Now he can stop saying he believes the Eagles and Pats have a gentleman's agreement to trade AJ on June 1st

Besides losing Becton for cheap, he was ill prepared to handle OL who had 2 guys who barely made it to the finish line in the Superbowl. And had a roster full of questions marks regarding any good veteran depth that he had let go and failed to replace it. Leaving it in the hands of unproven youngsters to make up the void. Did not bullet proof this team with cheap experienced depth, like he did the year before. Also, left the defensive line naked and was overconfident with that. That line was exhausted by the end of the year.

The only veteran depth he let go of was Becton. They got Fred Johnson back in a trade. I agree the lack of health was an issue but it's not like Dickerson or Jurgens missed games. Howie wasn't deciding who was starting. His mistake on offense was arguably at TE but I think if BVS had stayed healthy that would have been less of an issue. The talent on the roster last season was good. The coaching was inept. The offensive line played poorly and Hurts did not play well. Almost all of the significant losses last offseason were on defense. The defense wasn't the reason the team did not repeat.
