Said they would make the move by the 4pm deadline. And then said trades can and will still happen throughout weekend. Of course now the weekend is about over, and the 4pm deadline is past. But I wooonder if the surprising LeBlanc release makes a little more sense now if they are planning on receiving another CB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 SF can use a WR. We can use another starting CB. Witherspoon in last year of his contract. It makes some sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hputenis Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Can someone explain to me what the Eagles are doing with LeBlanc? I understand he doesn't hit the waiver wire, and they will most likely re-sign him tomorrow to a new deal. Don't they risk another team swooping in to get him? He's a decent slot corner, and that position becomes more and more important every year. What if someone wants to offer him a 2 year deal? The Eagles would be totally screwed if they lost LeBlanc. They have zero depth at corner already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Singleton may have been the safest cut. But his is now the first LB off the bench as the two rookie LBs are probably not ready for game play.

They have zero depth at corner already. They had to cut someone to make room for Huntley, with the idea of re-signing him a day later when the dust settles after making a couple of IR moves. Seeing as how three of their last cuts were actually claimed on waivers, it's likely that the Eagles were worried that if they expose the 53rd (now 54th) player to waivers, he would be claimed as well. They didn't want that to happen. So to get around this, they chose to release a player who had enough experience in the league that he would not be subjected to waivers. It's obvious they'll re-sign him tomorrow. Is it a risk that he'll sign somewhere else overnight? Theoretically, I suppose, but if you have a good relationship with the player and explain to him what's going on, I don't think it's too much of a concern.

They have zero depth at corner already. Looking at the roster, LeBlanc probably was the most expendable from a week 1 gameday perspective. Epps is the 3rd safety with Parks out and a valuable STs contributor. James and Ford are major STs contributors, and Howie said yesterday continuity there is more important now with no PS reps. Singleton is the #4 LB. Was a tougher decision than I acknowledged initially; hope they get LeBlanc back. If I were a team needing a nickel back, I'd offer him a 2 year deal right now.

Just saying, with that rumor out there, the release would have made more sense. Not even referencing the 9er rumor. They knew if they made a successful claim someone would have to be released then re signed. I am positive that they had already told LeBlanc he would be released and re signed.

Which WR would you ship? the rumor is Jeffery for Ahkello Witherspoon. We get rid of the Jeffery contract and get a servicable starting CB in the last year of his contract in return. It fills an immediate need and offers some cap relief for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
