SPIDER-MAN Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I usually don't throw names out there for the sake of that player simply being "just a name." But since Howie passed on higher ranked corners in the draft, it isn't too crazy to see Sherman in Philly on a one-year deal. His play didn't drop off much in 2020, though a calf injury wiped out most of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerolithe_Lion Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 We need another starter and if he’s cheap, then I’m not opposed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus no Yeah, I think he's much more likely to return to the Seahawks than to go out of his way to join a rebuilding Eagles team. He's probably not going to entertain any East Coast offers unless it's a Super Bowl contender. There's still other free agent options for that CB2 spot that are more realistic and likely more affordable. Steven Nelson and Gareon Conley were mentioned in another thread and both of those guys would fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 No thank you. I get that we have a desperate need at CB. I get that we need a band aid fix to the position and Sherman is a good player. But he's too old. I'd rather they go with a guy who can at least be here for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray75 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Probably doesn’t want to come here anyway (prefers a contender) plus he won’t come cheap at 33 yrs old. Take a flyer on Conley and see what Gannon can do with him or pay a steeper price for a more seasoned Nelson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably want too much against what he can actually bring to a team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, trading assets and spending large cap for a player is the worst thing they could do unless that player was projected as 3-yr starter at least. I'd prefer they get a younger player than Sherman but if he were a reasonable 1-yr signing that would at least help Gannon implement his system without a huge hole which would make success nearly impossible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a years time if they think they may be on to something with this team (and I think that'll be too early but look what happened in 2017) then sure make those moves. But not now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Absolutely not. This team is trying to get YOUNGER. Why sign a 33 year old CB? They aren’t competing this year, so no sense in even doing a one year deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see them being bad again this year. I’d rather they try out young guys and see if any stick. It makes more sense to try guys who might actually be a part of the future than to sign aging vets to help them maybe win two more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree for the most part but I do think they should benefit from having an experienced guy along with Slay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree again for the most part. I just think if you have a really weak young guy then you will undermine what Gannon is trying to implement and that will hurt the development of the D for the following season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first inclination is to agree with nipples ... in a season that surely isn’t going anywhere yet I’d like to get a more thorough evaluation of the younger guys we have here that potentially could be longer term fixtures (hard to make any kind of evaluation from having played in Schwartz’s scheme which was pretty much unfriendly to DBs). But you do make a good point ... I’m on the fence with this one. I suppose best case scenario is that McPhearson plays well enough to beat out the competition but I also don’t think that is very realistic. Perhaps playing behind a seasoned vet signed to a 1 year deal would benefit him (and other young DBs). Plus if that vet signs a pretty decent deal elsewhere after the season it could set us up with one of those precious comp picks! I’d still prefer someone like Nelson to Sherman.

But guess what? Maddox is a weak outside corner. McPhearson is an unknown. I would rather an average known quantity so we could assess Gannon.

Schwartz's scheme did make life hard work for the corners at the time, but we simply don't have any young talent there (with the exception of maybe McPhearson). It's clear that Maddox really struggles on the outside and I don't think he would be a fit for what Gannon wants on the outside. McPhearson has some promise, but relying on a rookie 4th rounder to start at corner? Crazy. The rest of them are scrubs who wouldn't make most teams' practice squads. So yeah - we need to bring somebody in, even if it's just a Jalen Mills equivalent. Not only to evaluate Gannon, but also to stop what happened in the Dallas/Arizona games where basically Hurts was playing desperate catch-up and the D couldn't get a stop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibleedgreen1990 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Sherman is going to cost a lot more than other guys available and is a 1-2 year band aid at best. We aren’t going to compete during that time for a sb so why not keep the cap in case a younger piece becomes available or you need to sign one of your own? pass on Sherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
