September 11, 20214 yr That's awesome for him, to go from having never seen an American Football game in his life, to 4 years, $64 Million and starting LT in what, 4 years?

September 11, 20214 yr We haven't had a lot of luck signing players for potential. Hopefully he works out and stays healthy
September 11, 20214 yr Be interesting to see how the deal is structured with less than 10 million available under this and next years cap. His cap number this year will increase significantly with the pro rated signing bonus.
September 11, 20214 yr Great news! And when he out plays this contract and asks for more in a year everyone will piss and moan about him not playing out his contract
September 11, 20214 yr Very happy for him. A true success story for the player and the franchise. Way to go to all involved.
September 11, 20214 yr I would have waited 1 more year a full year. These early contracts bite us in the ass way to many times

These early contracts bite us in the ass way to many times This is the final year of his rookie contract. He would have been a free agent unless the Eagles extended later or franchised him. Now was the time to do this.

September 11, 20214 yr Good job, FO. And no team wants Dillard. He will just be a backup on the Birds until he is cut/released. Reminds me of the Fireman Danny Watkins draft pick. Ugh.

He is the 15th highest paid tackle by yearly average, and when the meat of his contract kicks in after new guys get their deals, he will not even be top 25-30.

September 11, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, Casey @ Bat said: Well … Mailata mostly. Yes if we are gonna give credit to Stoutland for Mailata then we have to give criticism for Dillard. They are both talented but, one had a different mindset then the other to compete and get better. Stoutland can't control the mindset of players.
