pgcd3 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 It's a slow news time so I figured I'd post this for fun. Yesterday I tweeted a comment about Steven Nelson. I didn't @ him or anything. Someone replied and Steven Nelson liked the reply. It's all fairly self explanatory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 So you're comment was he's not better than average? No wonder he liked the response to your tweet. 😄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder he liked the response to your tweet. 😄 LOL, I didn't really mean it as an insult. I think he's an average starter at CB. We could use an average starter. That's nothing to sneeze at. Let's face it if the league viewed him otherwise he'd have gotten a big deal by now. Also by him liking the response he's somewhat insulting the rest of our secondary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need a good solid #2 for the next couple of years at least. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgcd3 Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Ok I see that Steven Nelson retweeted the NFL tweet about Julio Jones performance at the last Falcons-Eagles game. Pretty obvious that he's either talking to Eagles or frustrated with their offer. Not sure which but something going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since he is still on the market then no team is ponying up what he wants (so have to assume he is overvaluing himself). He has to know our cap situation, that we won't be able to pay him what he is expecting. With the reduced cap this year his best bet is to sign a 1 year prove it deal somewhere and if he plays well, he'll get paid next year. Philly probably offers the best situation as there really is no one to worry about beating him out for the starting gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchesterEagle Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Nelson would be a brilliant pick up. At worse he's 10 times better than what we currently have at CB2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even this Nelson might be better than some of the current players we have at CB. They haven't had a hit since the 90s, but neither have most of our current CBs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrive Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Signing someone like Nelson just continues our nonsensical offseason. Let’s not forget that our head coach was ostensibly fired because he didn’t want to tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not forget that our head coach was ostensibly fired because he was totally incompetent and clearly had no idea how to properly coach offense. FYP. I hate Howie too, but defending Doug is ridiculous. He was the worst offensive play caller, game architect, player developer, and personnel decision maker I've ever seen in my 40 years. He deserved to be fired and was outmatched every single week. I remember my youth too. Doug last year was egregious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with that take on Doug, but I do agree I'm not buying Lurie's reasoning. Saying they took Hurts for gadget plays and to be part of a QB factory was probably more believable. If they wanted Doug, they would have just told him to take his time. It was a face saving exercise for Lurie and Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's necessarily true though. After the first couple of waves of FA there are always still good players out there that wanted more than the market was offering them. Those guys then wait it out to see how the draft pans out and what happens during TC etc. Injuries force teams to be desperate and then players can get a better deal. And if that doesn't happen then they end up with a deal very similar to what they were offered in the first place. Plus some teams need to clear cap space and so will do so after June 1st.

time2rock Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 4 hours ago, Jeep_man said: Nelson wont be an Eagle, he would have been by now if FO had interest... Not necessarily. We're down to just a shade over $4M in cap space ATM. We'll get another $4M added to the cap in a week and a half from having used the post June 1 designations when releasing Jeffery and MJackson, and if we cut/trade Ertz after June 1 we add yet another $8.5M. If anything happens I wouldn't expect it until then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
