What a time to be alive. 

They should wipe the football down before a player can advance the turnover as well. Everybody should have disinfecting wipes on rolls on their belts.

Good for him.  That will go a long way with the team and fans, imo.

Coming next year. That’s where the concern is.

In 2021.

We can carry the 18 mil over if needed right?  And how much does the cap increase in 2021?

Anyone want to keep calling them Skins or any of the other nicknames we've given them?

You Da man JP! One of my all-time favourite Eagles and a true team first guy. His haters can go kick rocks.

Yup. 176M is very conservative + cap room doesn't include rollover, so we're looking at likely negative 60M unless the TV money is fantastic. Next year will be tough.

Thats not going to happen. And from what I understand, even if it does, there are offsets for pre-existing contracts to keep teams from going over the cap with existing contracts that would NOT have sent them over the cap in a normal season. Could you imagine the cap suddenly going down by 20..30..40.. million next year, how many teams would have to release franchise players? Not going to happen.   It will get figured out.

That’s my only hang up to paying Glenn as a backup. Say it’s $4M or so, that’s money we need next year.

It already is figured it out. It can decrease but only by a max of $10M

If the cap goes down by 50 million next year, how many teams with contracts already in place, would be forced to release big name players? There will be language in it to protect that from happening.  If not, how many teams will be over the cap by over 50 million next year? It would wreak havoc on the league.

alright, so the chart @downundermike just posted is bogus. No way its going down almost 50m.

Week 1 starters will be D-Jax who played 1 game last year and JJAW who was losing reps to PS players and 4th string TEs. "Alot” is a big stretch. 

Hightower and ward who is a proven slot now

Same. Vet minimum? Let's go. Vet minimum + up to 4M if he plays/plays well; fine. Otherwise, we need that money.

60 million over with 41 players under contract.  So to get under the cap players will have to go.  From the articles I have read with the most likely candidates gone, and the cap increasing by 10 million, we would have 34 players under contract to get back to even.

Hoping for Glenn still. Health is the biggest concern for both but combined they're actually a pretty solid LT solution. 

Yup. Should sign Glenn anyway considering peters misses time and plays. Additionally Glenn can be the swing tackle role and he has experience at guard as well. So you get the versatility added on.

 I’m guessing won’t sign him til next Monday when the contract isn’t guaranteed. which is a bit of a risk if peters missed snaps you are shuffling RG with pryor likely to LT And herbig to guard.
