Good thing for us we already have a few WRs and a QB at TE, lol. Seams everyone is following our lead. 

In the end, the position title dont matter anyways. Just call them Receivers at this point. I know Benjamin was a solid player 3 years ago. Will be interesting what he brings to the table not having much impact on any team the last few years.

He was terrible 3 years ago. That was his last season lol. Time flies

He was pretty overrated when he was "good.” With a 90 man roster though it’s a worthy flyer.

I dont hate Hurts, I just prefer a qb whose weakness is not every aspect of passing.

 

Every aspect of passing?  Did you watch last year?  I didn't see a throw he wasn't able to make.  In fact he made some very nice throws all over the field, anticipating throws and throws where things have broken down in the pocket and he bought times with his leg and hit great passes while on the run.

Any uproar from the blue checkmark brigade over this guy who hasn't played in 3 years coming back to a new position? Didn't think so.

I know he's been terrible since his great rookie year and SB52 performance but this just doesn't look right to me.  He's an all-time Eagle IMO even if it was just one year as a role player.  

 

So many conversions to TE these days.  It begs for the question: will JJAW also make the switch?

Speaking of TEs and the desire of having them, why Ertz, a legit TE with performance, is not getting more interests around the league?

The man has to do what he has to do to make some cash. Its not like he had an entire career like Celek and can turn down a offer from a rival team because his former teams fans don;t like it. If Im correct Corey's favorite team growing up was the Cowboys so you know its important to make some money when you play for two teams you hated as a kid. 

As for the Eagles FO side of it. Its a buisness. I liked Corey as well. He grew up only 10 mins from where I live right now. Hes a home town kid but in the end he cant stay healthy and is a waste of cap and a roster spot at this point.

Oh, no doubt, sometimes just seeing guys in different uniforms is really weird.  I didn't want Clement back.  Heck, I didn't want him here last year.  Just looks really strange in a NYG uniform given a bottom of the roster RB #.

Again -- he gave ZERO effort last season, and he wants a pay raise.  Other teams view game film.

Because there are loose lips in the Eagles FO. I’m sure there is interest in him and if he’s released he will be signed within a week. Problem is all the dirty laundry is out there so teams will just wait.

Jalen Hurts is Kevin Kolb. A 2nd round QB that showed minor flashes in limited time that couldn’t nail down the starting gig, only to be replaced by a premiere star QB who is battling in a PR nightmare. 

Careful, you don't want to hurt(s) someone's feelings.

Yup. Why would any team want to trade for a guy with no heart? How he played last year was embarrassing, like worse than pre-Burfict level effort. Aside from that the eagles are probably overvaluing him and asking for like a second or something.

It must be a exhausting getting worked up over stuff like this so often.

Not worked up at all.  Just easy to notice when it's constant.  I always liked Kelvin Benjamin.  I hope it works for him, as long as the Giants cut him and it's with another team.

Didn't realize Grimes, out of his 38 catches this year at Florida, had 9 TDs.  Would be nice for the Eagles to come across a gem.  We're due.

Giant had brisket on sale a few weeks ago so I grabbed one and yesterday rubbed it then got up early and eleven hours of smoke on my old Mr. Meat smoker (Brinkmans, not a fancy Traeger unit), and an hour of rest and the bark was so good.   While I have the smoker out, I have some flank that I intend to smoke overnight..  Even slower than brisket. Thinking a red wine pepper marinade.  Anyone have a recipe for one?

Red wine, balsamic vinegar, thyme, star anise, rosemary, pepper. 4 to 1 wine to vinegar.

Pretty sure Fulgham will be on the 53-man and Grimes will be on the practice squad -- but if Fulgham is unable to show any of what he had briefly during last season in training camp it wouldn't shock me if Grimes beat him out for a roster spot.

Grimes very well could beat out JJAWful

The weirdest, IMO.

I am really interested in what Nick and co. can do with Reagor and JJAW.  Both have some pedigree.  I'm sure he helped grade them when they were coming out of college.

Maybe he can do what Groh did with Agholor in 2017.

Kelvin Benjamin was a freshman at Florida State the last time Tim Tebow played in an NFL game. I’m sure you can see the difference.
