Swoop Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 This was a good move. Pricey, but we have a LT for the next few years. Let's hope he plays well and is here much longer. Not to beat a dead horse, but we really should trade Goedert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to get a pick we can use on a young cheap player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleTen Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I’m sure this deal for Mailata (which I like a lot) finally puts to bed any remote (and unwelcome) chance of a trade for Watson…the cap, which might have been there a week or two ago, just isn’t there any longer… Not sure what the Eagles do with Dillard now…get what they can for him? or just keep him for backup?

First clue you are dead wrong, @RememberTheKoy and I are in agreement. 5 hours ago, downundermike said: Do you know anything about football ?? That deal is a bargain. 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.

Hawkeye Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 1 hour ago, JP HOF said: why on earth should he be in the same stratosphere? Because contracts get larger as the cap goes up. The 2022 cap is going to be more than $35 million higher than this year and the Eagles are dumping most of their dead money this season. It’s a middle of the road deal for a starting LT. What’s the issue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procus Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 2 hours ago, JP HOF said: a steal? how does it compare to the contracts of JP and Lane? The cap is a moving target and expected to continue to increase. Mailata is only 24 years old and has not yet hit his ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonblood Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 9 hours ago, VaBeach_Eagle said: 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? It's a great story, for sure. And Philly loves hard working players like this, so all new players have to do is look over at him and emulate his work ethic to be loved here. Unlike Princess Ben Simmons- but that's another post altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle45 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 If he proves he can’t handle speed rushers or goes on IR with the same back issue again, it’ll be another contract they’ll regret. If he turns into a stud, they saved a few million per year versus the going rate. Given the luck every team in this city has with young players, I am a bit gun shy.

But if they waited and he plays like we expect this year, would have to add 5+ million to the average salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20dawk4life Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I get wanting to lock up the LT but if he flames out this is going to be another sheet contract. Hell 16 million a year is high even if hes good. Second highest paid LT in the nfl now right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just looking at the 4 years 64 million. Puts him at 16 million a year over that. According to sporran that puts him in second for this year. I’m trying to find all of the totals still.

All I get is confused emojis like this has never happened before with the team The contract is fine, I have no issues with that it's the what he becomes after I'm concerned with.
