Good deal. Makes perfect sense. Hope he’s healthy. 

I think I read he had been cleared a day or two ago, but may be confusing players

This is a logical move for both sides.  He goes to the place he's more comfortable and gets a 1 year prove it deal.  Eagles get a decently high upside (his contributions throughout 2017 are often overlooked, not just in the Super Bowl.  He was effective in the SB, and specifically on the Philly Special, because he was a RZ player throughout the year, especially later in the year, and was very effective there.), with minimal risk.  

 

I like it.  Welcome back, Corey.  I hope that the injuries are behind you.

Freeman or Hyde are the best available FAs if they still plan to sign another.

Day six of this BS

You are correct. I guess I meant "back to 2017 form.”

@justrelax Have you formed an opinion yet on  Prince Tega Wanogho? I watched some Youtube video of him (the '19 Georgia game...videos for both he and Driscoll are available for viewing) and came away somewhat underwhelmed. Good athlete but kind of a bender who stops moving his feet. Definitely liked Driscoll better, which is understandable given where they were both selected.

You might want to settle in and get comfortable.

Sounds like they might not be done

 

I like that they're bringing him back.  If he's healthy, he can be a good contributor.  I don't think there's anyone else out there that has potential other than Devonta Freeman.

Right you are. E45 is just a nattering nabob of negativity.

Don't know who he thinks he is, he'll never be EDP445

He might be wrong, but Caplan said he'd be ready in May for limited work and hopeful fully clear in June/July. Just went back and listened. 

A one year deal with Clement? Jesus really. Booo.

ok then. He still gets his day in court.  I hope its not true... but given the charge, I'm not sure how it wouldn't be a bad situation even if he's not 'guilty' of those particular charges.  

Agreed. It was one of those quasi-retirements, but after this which supposedly has been investigated since November, he's likely done.

Its probably vet minimum. Doesn't mean he's making the team, just bringing him to camp

Corey Clement is an amazing story. Grew up an Eagles fan and was a Super Bowl hero as an undrafted rookie. It doesn’t get much cooler than that. Oh and the biggest knock on him in college was he had no potential as a receiver and was their leading receiver in the Super Bowl! 😁

I don’t see any downside to this at all. 

Dont like the move. Its been time to move on from Clement's injuries. Ill feel bad cutting an eagles fan playing for his team living his dream. But you just can not keep him on the team and see a guy like Scott and/or Warren go elsewhere only to watch Clement get injured again. I dont like the thought of that, and I also dont like the idea of treating him as a camp body.

I think it needs four credited seasons to qualify for vet status.

Yeah, I don't see any either. The guy was one of three Eagles running backs in the Super Bowl (okay technically Barner was the fourth but he was just there for returns). So why would anyone be upset if he were one of the three running backs this year? How is he somehow a downgrade?

Figured clement would be back, he’s been working out with Sanders for the past few weeks

No excuses Schwartz. Though our number two CB is a major question mark I think. So is Mills as a safety. I like the idea but he’s gotta do it.

4 years is for veteran minimum benefit, for cap purposes. Either way, I meant it's probably just the minimum salary for whatever bracket Clement falls into.

And all three LBs...

Could it be both a poor value and a signal a problem with Wentz? I mean regardless of Wentz's health and continued career I think there's a fair chance Hurts may not develop as even a competent back up in the NFL.  Wentz may retire next week or turn into Nate Peterman and it doesn't make the pick any better if Hurts can't win an NFL game.

Additionally, it's possible the Eagles believe, erroneously, there is a likelihood Wentz will miss time again in the future and they need a better back up than Sudfield or others.  It's possible that Wentz never misses another NFL game.  He throws for 5,000 yards and 55 TD's a season for the next 10 years and Hurts only sees the field in wrap duty.  If he can't play, it doesn't make the pick better.  Even if Hurts can play really well, it still wasn't a good use of a 2nd round pick.

Where I see things, is that this team needs to be in the best position to win home field advantage through the playoffs.  Hurts likely isn't going to win them more games next season.  Another player like Mims, Chinn or Fulton would have had a better chance.

Manichaean logic. Nabob was a cultural reference.
