There’s a chance sanders isn’t even here in two years so it better be real soon 

You think?  If Sanders performs well over the next two seasons, do you see them letting him go?  One thing this F.O. doesn't like to do is repeat the mistakes of the past and I'm relatively sure they weren't pleased with dealing McCoy. It was likely a Chip Kelly motivated move. (And even McCoy got a 2nd contract).   

And it took them years to finally get a viable replacement in Sanders. 

I’m guessing he likely is some how back next year.

Please no

Being contrarian.

Perhaps the reason Sirianni was hired was because within the interview, he highlighted why Carson was a busted flush (or a talent who is hard to work with) and trading him now would be better for a long term future rather than retaining him and hoping it would work out.  Many assumed that the hiring was to save Wentz, but other than assumptions, we simply don't know if it is true. 

Maybe the FO ultimately wanted a hard reset over retaining a QB you may not entirely trust, for a large salary, and worry he will find another excuse in 12 months time for a lack of performance

The sad part is this was entirely avoidable.

And as for the cap. If you taking a 5 year view, who cares about the dead money if you can big liquidity in 12/24 months time

Maybe "Boobie” should worry about playing 16 games before worrying about going to the Super Bowl 

I would be very happy to root for Jason Peters...in another jersey.

Yes i think there’s a chance. He also has had nagging injuries his first two seasons and missed games and left games. So if he has a major injury over that time i wouldn’t be surprised if they then elected to not pay him a big contract

Maybe they hired Nick sirianni because they saw how he developed some of the receivers in San Diego (Allen’s best season, tyrelle Williams) when they were still in San Diego. And they saw what he did in Indianapolis working with some of the young talent at the skill position and at QB they had as the offensive coordinator as well. so they viewed going into a rebuild that they needed someone who was good at player development with young players which was something the Eagles for five years haven’t exactly been overwhelmingly successful with.

NFL analyst/reporter Chris Wesseling died of cancer. It's a shame, he battled it, got through it, then it returned.

Recently married and has a very young child. Awful news.

Now I'm starting to get swept up "in the possibilities" . You know you could walk from this draft with a heck of a core at 6 ( and without giving anything away ) a pick between let's say 13-22 but would Howie make the right picks... and better yet..... who would block? LOL

The 2 OL they pick in the 1st round

Eagles should have a top 5 OL next year -

Mailata - Seumalo - Kelce - Brooks - Lane, Dillard, Driscoll, Herbig, draft pick

If Lane goes down, Dillard to LT, Mailata to RT

If Kelce retires, Herbig or Driscoll becomes the center and they draft two OL.

Don't need a 1st or 2nd rd pick here, just two projects for Stoutland to develop along with Toth, Opeta and whoever they sign as UDFAs.

Brooks should be back at 100%, he's got that kind of work ethic, might have been able to play if they made the playoffs.

Lane depends on ankle surgery.

There's good linemen in this draft yes but that's not where the eyes are fixated.

Doesn't matter where the eyes are fixated. Sewell and a guard/DE would be likely with two picks in the first. Smith and Chase may not be there.

Oh geez... 

Or because his ceiling is high end backup/low end starter. Good character guy, average arm. Case Keenum work better so I don’t look racist?!?!

 

Case Keenum doesn't even make sense.

I think a more comparable comp would be Dak or Kaepernick or Mayfield.  

 

Tyrod is a pure pocket passer with limited mobility that is ultra conservative.

This offense should be remarkably better with a solid and healthy offensive line.

NFL.com comparison is Tim Tebow - I'm still mulling that over - what do you think?

 

That even makes more sense than Tebow although Hurts has already shown himself to be a better passer.

Brooks is on the north side of 30, Seumalo is probably the center, Lane is becoming a ?. It wouldn't be sexy, but I'd be fine with them using both firsts to lock that line down. Don't draft projects. Fix it. Will their scouts nail both picks? That's another issue...

Howie and Lurie can't help themselves.

 

Poor Mailata.  He is going to have to sit on the bench and either watch Peters or Dillard despite being better than both.
