I think we got some thin-skinned folks is all, gobble-gobble. Great game between Nippon and Nederland.

So having an extra 1st round pick in 2028 already could be kind of helpful ,right?

Gives them optionality. If hurts plays well in 2026 in the new offense with mannion then they have 3 firsts over 2 years that they can build the offense (team) going forward with hurts. However if the pass offense struggles and finishes bottom 1/3 of the league like it has past two years unless they get a 2024 historic run game then it’s probably a crossroads for Sirianni’s future and hurts. gives them the ability and potential to use those 1st to maneuver to get a QB and I’m not sure sirianni survives a pass offense finishing bottom third for 3 straight years unless eagles go on a deep run.

Yes - if we move on, the 2028 cap hit is going to be over $50 million. So having a cost controlled option at QB is a must. We can use that pick to maneuver in 2027 or wait a year until 2028.

One potential middle ground, if this year in inconclusive, is to fully guarantee all his 2027 comp to bring him back for one more year, but leave 2028 fully unguaranteed. Gives us another year to evaluate (before the 2028 draft with 2 1st round picks). The dead cap would go up to ~$94mm (pay $51.5mm in cash in 2027 vs. $42.1mm in cap charges adds $9.4mm more in dead money). Also makes the impact of trading or cutting him the same in the 2028 offseason.

Frankly, I think the Eagles would like to trade Jalen hurts if they were going to move on. I could see a market for him for a team like the Houston Texans. if CJ Stroud plays poorly/unevenly again, I could see demeco Ryan’s wanting hurt. He’s not gonna turn the ball over and I’m guessing Ryan probably feels that his defense being as great as it is that hurts over stroud could propel them to a title

Wait, how do you pronounce Chile? Do you say it with a long i sound and silent e? (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxhO-qZIrJc) Or do you say it like the food as in Chili?

I think the unanswered questions are what does Hurts want to do. Is this a scenario where his ego makes him want to force a trade next offseason without a top of the market deal. In the alternative, could he be willing to negotiate a team friendly deal that reduces his cost relative to the market in 2029 through 2031.

When Turkey plays against Chile is it appropriate to serve Turkey Chili at concession?

AJ Epenesa apparently getting peanuts. Just over a mil in base salary.

I like Jalen Hurts, but if he wants to waive his NTC...

If true 🤣

Not really an edge, more of a 3/4 DE. Basically competition with Robinson and Hall.

Philly is so much better as a fanbase in every way

Word is this guy is pretty good. Just needs to stay healthy. But not a Kmart special like last year.

That reminds me, The Sopranos isc coming out in 4K at some point and the crappy Livia CGI is being redone.

Sopranos is my favorite show of all time but the two things that always drove me crazy was that Nancy Marchand CGI (which I get because it was over 25 years ago) and that awkward cut-scene pause after Carmela talks with AJ’s principal in season 5. That scene felt like it was done with 2002 PowerPoint.

Will be interesting to see what happens. He’s one of the bigger recent names I can remember. I hope you all post your supplemental mock drafts.

Im ready for Sorsby_Era
