I have not seen the complete article by Doyel because it has a cost to view.  Just the excised quotes in the Philly Voice article.  It alluded to other "selfish” players but the main focus of the quotes was Wentz.  Kind of makes sense a Philly article would excise the Wentz quotes.   Of course, it is a concern that the other players might be impacted for Colts fans but not for Eagles fans.  Frankly, my main concern with Wentz’s vaccination status is the potential impact on 75% of the snaps.  If along the way the defense stumbles and they don’t make the playoffs, but Wentz plays 75%, that just means a better pick for the Eagles.  

Ive read it. He had like a sentence in passing about others but really went after wentz as selfish. I have no qualms about going after wentz but really that article should’ve been selfish Colts leaders because they have almost all their team leaders and best players are unvaccinated. Seemed like Doyle had a bigger agenda

No SUCCESSFUL claims.

Doesn't mean they weren't superseded by one of the five teams ahead of them.

Reasonable to assume that they put in a claim for Johnson.

Yup. Potential claims were

Tim Ward, Quincy Williams, Tyrone Johnson, Nick McCloud, Wyatt Ray, Colby Gossett

Both WR's Johnson claimed, Keke Coutee and John Brown are available.

Well, when you have a roster as loaded as the Eagles' roster...

I think you're loaded right now

Like getting Fulgham and Opeta to the PS at least. 

Am I reading this right that Keke Coutee went unclaimed too?

Seems odd.  I thought you moved to the end after making a claim.  So Jacksonville could in theory make endless waiver claims and always be first ??  Seems odd.

Denver who is behind us made a waiver claim, either we didn't make one or the announcement is delayed.

 

There are waiver claims for each available player.  Nobody before the Broncos claimed Grier so he goes to Denver.

I don’t believe John brown plays special teams anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if he waits til someone gets hurt before he signs somewhere.

No, I'm just a sarcastic SOB.

The waiver list posted above shows he was claimed by the Cowboys, Yates was incorrect with his tweet.

No claims with 6th position is interesting. What's the advantage of hoping a player goes unclaimed and then just signing?

Because now Howie can sign guys and give them voidable years!

 

I like that Kayode Awosika went unclaimed. Should be a priority PS signing.

I also went unclaimed so you guys are stuck with me on here.

Wow no claims.  There are easily 6-8 players available who would make this team better.  

Also keep in mind they would have to cut players if they claimed someone, since they cant put players on IR until 4. So there could be someone out there they intend to sign that's not a former Eagles, they just don't want to potentially lose someone. 

You have to cut a guy to claim a guy, it's very possible the Eagle Scouts didn't consider anyone out there better than what they had.

Remember, JJAW is #5 and has shown he can play STs, so you're not going to claim a WR who doesn't play STs to cut JJAW unless you're sold that he's a potential starter down the road. A marginal improvement that hurts STs has little value. Those kind of players you stash on the PS for a year or two, not on the 53.

Bummer, Isaiah Johnson signing to the Texans practice squad.  Was hoping we would give him a look.

We're going to get 2 roster spots open once Jackson/Taylor go on IR. We'll likely trade another OL off the roster. Moves are coming.

They could still sign him to active roster after 4pm

Are you saying Cam to the Cowboys is all but dead?

Giants claimed Collin Johnson which means the Eagles didn't put a claim in for him.  They could've put one in for Tyron Johnson, but lost to the Jags in the order.  I think they missed a real gem in Nigel Warrior.  I really hope we don't fill the PS with all of our own cast-offs.
