Hoping Zion Wilson & Deontae Lawson make it back

Look for both Bernard and Weru to return, but only one gets IPP status - meaning protected for the entire season.

Look for Wis and Pulley, Hall and/or Wilson at DT, Ojukwu, Majors, James-Newby, Lawson, Covey, Pierce, Campbell.

Missed on Wilson and Lawson.

Interesting answer - someone on the move it seems

The what was the point of your post? You think the Eagles FO and the fans have been like, "welp, he’s just a WR, we can replace him anytime we want”?

You know what they’re not going to miss? Having to deal with his weekly petulant behavior and having to alter the game-plan to make him happy.

Hey guys, guess what. The Eagles are going to miss their best WR they’ve had in decades. Riggght. We missed him the better part of last year, especially in the playoff game.

Maybe I’m wrong because I did not give full detail to my post. I didn’t think I’d have to but I’ll explain. I meant in terms of his production. I understand that he had to be traded cause of the distractions and antics but looking at what we have now I have questions about this WR core.

I would like to see them add a TE.

Howie presser...

• All four QBs have value to the team. Some short-term, some long-term. Such a valuable position. The lost McCord off the PS last season and was just traded for a sixth.

• Talks up E.J. Jenkins. Former receiver, built up body, really good point-of-attack and pass protection.

• Lemon and Stowers - no doubt in their abilities.

• Weru and Bernard - They looked at the tape that was available for other teams to help inform their decision.

I think it just means Payton is long term others are signed for a year

Here's what NFL.com has as of 3:50 pm EDT. Seems about right to me. Maximus Pulley made it😂.

It's on the NFL site and both the Philly Special and PHLY podcasters have been telling me the same. We'll see if/when it happens.

I thought the same thing until saw more recently they updated the rules. Like before, if a player was designated IPP he would not be allowed to be elevated from the PS but now they can. I think they are trying to give them more opportunities to play then be stuck on a PS with no path to playing.

I heard the podcasts say the same thing, I just don't think they are as up to date about the rudimentary details. I would trust the Falcons Director of Communications over EJ Smith, no offense.

Whoa

Would absolutely take him as the backup.

Can't see how he makes it to us through waivers...

Is there any big news that I likely haven't seen? Any big injuries or big signings?

I couldn't find the exact source I read it from a few months ago but this is the Falcons Director of Football Communications

https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/what-is-the-nfl-international-player-pathway-program

From Yahoo Sports.

Teams participating in the International Player Pathway(IPP) program can have 91-man rosters during the offseason. They can also have a 17th practice squad member for the season, but if signed to the practice squad, that player can't be signed to the regular season roster; however, starting in 2024 he can be elevated for up to three games. If the player is kept on the 53-man roster, he is subject to waiver rules.

Looks like they may have added 3 elevations and an exception to the protection.

That doesn't make much sense either. "if the player is kept on the 53-man roster, he is subject to waiver rules". Why would he be on waivers if he is kept on the 53 man roster?

Wow, he looks so different. I didn't think I was gone THAT long. I'd never have recognized him if I didn't know his name and profession!

Howie just doesn’t want to take the L and have to cut Dalton who he gave up a pick for or cut McKee who he turned down good picks for in the past.

He will try to get a pick for one of them come hell or high water.
