We were talking about Goedert.  Goedert wasn’t drafted as the eventual replacement for AJ.  

Might have gotten mixed up. 

 

I've heard the issue is the 5th year. Dak wants a 4 year deal.

My buddy is a scout for a pro team and he hated that pick. He studied Taylor at Colorado and doesn't think much of him. He took him off his board for the team he reps. He could obviously be wrong, but he has a pretty good track record. 

It's your buddy as good as me?

Juan was a desperation move, because he wanted Washburn as DC, but Washburn didn't want that just DL coach, and to dictate his line play to the DC.

McDermott needed time to grow into the job, Dawk would have given him that.  You keep Dawk for that year, the players don't revolt against McDermott, forcing you to fire McDermott, causing a search for a new DC, leading to Washburn, leading to Juan, leading to more dysfunction.  AR was going through hell himself at that time, iirc, with his own family in addition to losing a mentor in JJ.   I think Washburn was an atempt  to find a JJ relacement, but he had none of JJ's savvy.

 

Sign Dawkins for 2 years, and who knows... but those dominoes all lead to:

 

Water under the bridge now for me.    

 

But you are very right, Banner should have been a front guy for bad news.

Where did you see that he wanted Wash as DC?  I honestly had not seen that.  

Unpopular opinion but Dawk got a contract from Denver that was way more than we should have gave him.  Dawk is a HOF'r and an absolute legend here but he was beyond washed up at that point.  He was more of a liability than an asset on the field.  I know people will point to him having a 'pro bowl' season his first year in Denver but if you go back and watch the game we played against him we routinely picked on him.  He took care of #1 and it was a straight business decision I fault neither side for.

The prospect of these idiots signing Dak to a mega deal makes me happy!

$35M per year and you'd have to figure some of that £175 could be front loaded... Yeah he should absolutely take that.

That's actually a bad deal for Dak, given market value. No wonder he's passing.

Ummmm what world are you living in? 106 GTD...Brees/Brady just got $25M per year. 

 

Some folks talked about the salary cap ramifications of the pandemic. A snippet from the article...

Looking to the CBA for guidance on what would happen in that event, it addresses this regarding the cap formula of All Revenue (AR):

"If one or more weeks of any NFL season are cancelled or AR for any League Year substantially decreases, in either case due to a terrorist or military action, natural disaster, or similar event, the parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to adjust the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the projection of AR and the Salary Cap for the following League Year so that AR for the following League Year is projected in a fair manner consistent with the changed revenue projection caused by such action.”

Translation: If and when the NFL loses revenue due to an event beyond its control—and the pandemic certainly qualifies—the players feel the pain along with them.

Obviously canceled games will negatively impact the 2021 cap. Even without canceled games, however, realistic projections about the pandemic do not forecast packed stadiums in September. And although the NFL is better insulated against lack of fans than other leagues—with massive national media contracts and shared revenue—it is not immune to significant revenue losses that the lack of fans would bring. Losses would stem not only from vanishing gate receipts but also from ancillary revenue streams such as gameday sponsor activations, premium seating sales, parking, concessions, merchandise, etc. And these losses will be reflected in AR and manifested in a difficult and painful collective "pay cut” for players in 2021.

As to how much lower the cap sink from 2020 to 2021, that is unclear. My sense, though, is that players and owners would work to "smooth” the decrease over multiple years ahead. Usually, any smoothing or "flattening” discussion is about future increases in cap, but we’re well beyond the word "usually” right now.

All the whining about the second round picks has provided great cover for the third round pick.  I’m going to be surprised if Davion Taylor develops into more than a ST contributor, and I think he was taken quite a bit too early — might well have still been on the board in the 4th round.

True statement.  Truth be told the Eagles just aren't a good drafting team.  They draft well when they have a very high #1 pick.  They have hit on some 2nd rounders and get lucky with some 6th and 7th round picks.  

I'm going to get flamed for my thoughts but that's my view.  I don't see a team with a ton of homegrown ready to take the next step talent.

Dak is worth mroe than Brees/Brady in 2020+. He's guaranteed 31.5M on the franchise tag.
If he gets franchised again, he gets 37.8M....and then he'll never be franchsied after that.

Dak is better off going year to year, or signing short-term deals, than taking "guaranteed" money that already comes with his 2 tags.

It actually makes sense for Dak’s agent to ask for more guaranteed. Basically he’s guaranteed this year 31.5 million if he just signs the tag. If he’s getting 106 million guaranteed over the 5 years. In just playing Under the tag he’s making 30 percent of that in just one year. If he’s tagged again in 2021, he’d be making 65.3% of that in just two years and would then likely be able to go to free agency and make More than the 106 guaranteed Over the five years if you use Kirk cousins as a model. He’d have 69.3 from the two franchise tags in 2 years and then he likely could get 80-100 mil guaranteed( if he performs the next two years on the tag) on the free agent market.

He should be signing that, then if he really wants to bet on himself -- just pull a Zeke after Year 3 and hold out for a mega extension.  Hard to believe he's ever going to get a more lucrative offer than that, but ....... it is Jerry Jones

Manual, 4for4, Igglesphan: ya'll need to get a room.  Worse than politics and religion what you got going on.  You're on Talk About The Eagles and all you talking about is yourselves.  

I don't know what you are talking about.  I was discussing Goedert and his role in the offense.  I never once talked about myself.    But, if it bothers you to talk about Dallas Goedert, then by all means, use the ignore feature or scroll past without engaging.

The stupid Cowboys could have traded back a few in round 1, take Love or Hurts, still get Dalton to man the job for a year, and have the kid start the following year on a super cheap rookie deal.... Instead they had to show us up and take CeeDee and have Dak siphon every drop from them as an average player. Good for them
