That would be a huge get , he is a player

I just don't see how we have any money to sign him.  Would love to see him here though.

He is John Johnson III.  They keep it boring for generations.

Out of that group?! Pretty good shot.

I'd probably pick the Browns

Oh god, I'm all the way out on this guy.

John Johnson is one of the most fun safeties to watch. A good fit in a scheme like ours where safeties have to do a lot of different things. 

He's at least the type of player that makes sense both short-term and long-term.

also seems if a team like the jags who have a ton of Cap space sees it’s us against them for him probably creatively structured their contract to benefit Johnson and make it tougher on the eagles to match

another waste of an extension and Wallace showed next to nothing last year. This team could use two new starters at S plus a strong #3. This secondary and linebacking core needs a total rebuild except for our way overpaid 30 year old CB who can't shut down the leagues best... 

Schwartz claimed it takes Ss and LBs two years to learn how to play in his system.  Don’t buy it but there was his built in prejudice about rookie Ss and LBs.  Don’t judge last year’s picks until you see what they do this year.  Really liked Wallace as a value pick.  I think Epps is fine as the #3.  But we do need a FS in the second day picks if BPA and the board falls right. Same with a CB if we don’t use our first on Farley.

John Johnson is at least a North East guy...  Grew up in Maryland about 2.5 hours from Philly and went to Boston College.

And lost.  And lost 10 games 3 of 4 years. Like I asked, would you accept that from Howie the next four years? That's a "football guy" standard?

49ers had worse injury woes than the Eagles to start the season last year.   

I don't think there's any chance he goes 3rd regardless, but Miami signing Golladay would officially lock in them not going WR at #3.

Yeah i brought that up. He called them excuses. meanwhile uses that excuse for howie and the eagles but chalks it up to bad luck.

I live in Pa. I'm almost 59 and I have no health issues and I'm fully vaccinated. 

How did you do that when the eligibility requirements say otherwise?  Did you wait in line for unused vaccines?  I have been to the PA Department of Health website and its eligibility requirement questionnaire shows that as ineligible.  I just cannot get in line in front of folks more needy. My 80+ neighbors had to go to a different county to get their first shots.  No way I would get in line in front of them.

Sounds like the giants are in on golladay. Been the rumor even during the season they’d make a push for him

According to Adam Caplan, we restructured Jake Elliott late last night. The paperwork simply hasn't gone through.

Hopefully the restructuring includes requirements for accuracy on shorter kicks.

Yeah, watch them go Pitts instead adding some major talent to their receiving options

Rooting for Miami to trade for Watson or Wilson, so the team acquiring #3 overall has to go QB.

Is 2021 the year we land Larry Fitzgerald?

They aren’t checking qualifications or vetting vaccine candidates at the clinics.  They don’t have the time.  At least not down here.  They want you in and out.  

So that excuses getting in line in front of older and more needy people.  I wasn’t raised that way.

I’d also point out they lost Jimmy G the year before they went to the Super Bowl in week 3 to a torn ACL. So they didn’t even get 14 weeks of their starting QB like the eagles got with wentz that year. The year they got him they were 5-0 and looked to be heading in the right direction for the next year. Then he got hurt. Might be another reason why the niners struggled the year before their super bowl. Yet again only uses excuses for the eagles but other teams not allowed.

Is cam Newton even average anymore? 

He was better than Hurts last season with arguably worse receivers. 

Brissett is just crushingly ironic.

If you are invested in the success of Jalen Hurts (I think he's bad and think the Eagles are making a mistake rolling with him, so I don't really care), Brissett is pretty much the worst possible QB addition possible.

1.  He's going to be one of the most expensive backups in the NFL, which is the whole fabricated reason the Eagles twisted themselves into about backup QB's having 2nd round value in the first place.  And 1 year after making that draft selection to protect the cap hit from the backup QB, when we are in cap hell and kicking the can forward, we might sign what will ultimately be one of the most expensive backup QB contracts in NFL history.  Forget a knife, you'd need a chainsaw to cut that irony.

2.  Brissett has nothing to offer Hurts.  He's got far more *cliche buzz word alert* arm talent than Hurts, but he's still a very crude passer.  This isn't Josh Mccown or Alex Smith who might offer something as adjuvant QB coaches.  

3.  Brissett offers value in one of 2 ways:  One, as a backup with starting experience and a big arm to get in there and help you win some games.  That's literally the last thing the Eagles need to break the bank on in a season in which they will not be competitive.  There is no point to eeking out worse draft position on a non-competitive team when the starter goes down.  Option 2 for value is as a project to see if we can salvage his arm talent and make him the guy.

None of these options help Hurts.  

Brissett has been in the offense for 3 years. Yes, he has something to offer Hurts.
