Let's talk about the playoff game then.  What do the Eagles need to do in order to win? 

I wasn't even directing that at you, it was at people that get paid to write and talk about the Eagles

That seems abnormal. I thought HC contracts typically were fully guaranteed unless fired for cause. 

I think Schefter is implying it's a two year contract. I could be wrong though.

He can collect another $4 mil or whatever to do nothing for a year. Sounds perfect

Yeah it seems like a real long shot that he returns.

I mean the owner, coach, and GM have all publicly refused to commit to his future.

We won that trade going away. 

I'm not sure how any NFL GM still talks themselves in to trading the Eagles for a QB.

The GM and Reich knows that if they roll with Wentz and he has wets the bed again, both will probably be fired.

Why risk your job over a QB of Wentz's caliber?

Fully expect them to explore other options and at the very least bring in legitimate competition in the off-season, regardless of Wentz's emotional fragility.

It was a 5 year deal when they signed him. Guessing there isn't really rules to enforce contract structure and is more based on how much leverage they hold.

I guess Slay is supposedly trying to recruit Mike Williams. 

Being a playoff team makes it easier to recruit UFAs. Also makes it cheaper.

When the Raiders have the best opening of the cycle, you know it's slim pickings...

Makes sense that it's negotiable. It's the first I've heard of a coach's contract that isn't fully guaranteed though.

Enter Brian Flores and Watson will stay. 

That's my thought.

People with lingering effects of a concussion will also have visits with neurologists and do forms cognitive exercises for post-concussion syndrome. 

I think if he had lingering effects we would have heard about it. 

Not a football player. Once they are cleared thats it. 

YES PLEASE.

What exactly are you talking about? How exactly does this prove that the Rooney rule is necessary?

Good luck.  There's much higher demand than supply of legitimate QBs this offseason.  They could bring in a Winston or a Mariota conceivably, but that's about it.  Not sure what QB in the draft will be available at #47. 

Ehlinger might be tough to upgrade for 2022.

And there it is. The least hidden secret ever

He’s reasonably well-regarded from what I’ve read.

Dennis Kelly's brother.

Not even joking.

 

Don’t think the Texans even want Watson to stay at this point, that relationship seems permanently severed from both sides.

It felt like when they originally hired Culley though, they did it to placate Watson for a year.

The social media backlash over this firing is predictably cringy. And it’s obvious why, once people start throwing out racial implications. It’s really sad that people always go there first.

If the Texans think they can upgrade, then they should upgrade. Sports isn’t and has never been about a player or coach’s "right” to keep a job. They have no right to keep a job. The only thing a front office is obligated to do is put the best coaches and players on the field possible. And if they think there is a better guy out there, they should make it happen.

I understand concussions, and how they can have that type of impact. I don’t believe that to be the case here. I think we would have heard this leak if that were the case. We would have heard sources talking about his processing and recognition. That hasn’t been the case. The only place I’ve heard that is in here.

I think it's speculation about why his play was so off last season.  I don't think it explains 2019.  2018 is arguably due to his back condition.  I do think he seems to process worse than he did.  I also think he tends to just play hero ball too often.  He just won't take the easy throw often enough.  I don't think that is a processing issue. His mechanics have also not improved.  He just misses throws.   I think the mental issue with him is that he does not seem to acknowledge and address these problems.
