Article I posted here had it as a 3 year deal to free up like 12 million.

Id do it. I know hes over 30 but he played at such an elite level this year I dont think 3 years is that bad. Its a short enough deal to be worth the savings.

Yeah I'm all for it, but Slay is gonna be an one of those guys it'll be hard for me to be objective on cause I like him. Certainly didn't seem to be slowing down yet though.

Roob the man of the stat without context and ignorer of stats that hurts his argument with the blocking of you afterward. 

Imagine being that insecure and childish. By definition, shouldn’t a reporter want different opinions?!?!?

This was the first year Maddox made it 16+ games correct?  This year reminded me of the 'Year of Boykin', he showed out for the first 6 games, then faded into obscurity.

Boykin was good that one year then he got hurt, had a bad hip.

Not sure the hate for Boston Scott in this board.

He's not an all pro but he's a spot guy that can come in and be consistent and he's been highly efficient scoring.

Where as posters slobber all over Sanders who is always hurt is inconsistent and scored all of zero tds this year🤔

No hate.  Why does any criticism of a player mean hate?  Scott is a JAG.  He gets what's blocked, nothing more.   He's upgradeable.  Sanders is inconsistent.  The RB position is an area that can certainly be upgraded on this team.

Wasn't hating on him when I posted the TD stat but I think he can they can easily upgrade the position.  He isn't worth tendering IMO.  I mean he didn't even play a single snap for what the first 4-5 games?  Then he was an afterthought at times.  He's the definition of a JAG.  If the opportunity in the draft isn't there, fine bring him back on a 1-year deal but he's no where near the top of my of my priority list.

 There was a time when we had a good bit of cap flexibility due to how cheap we were able to pay starters in the secondary. a couple budget FA signings, and a trade for Darby on his rookie deal.... that secondary didnt work out but...

Heres some new bookends at CB, and then some bookends at DE, and then 2 nice DTs for the rotation.

 

 

I recently heard Brett Kollman discuss DT, Booker from Stanford. He said he is one of the smarters players in this draft. And he showed up with hand drawn notes of Xs and Os of different stunts he likes to run and variations. He said Booker could probably come out of college, and coach right now. Thats how smart he is. When you look at his scouting report on TDN, his NFL player comp is Christian Wilkins, who went top 10. But this guy played in the Shrine Game, and is relatively unknown. You cant rally even find anything on youtube. Here are freshman and sophomore highlights

 

Finished with Velus Jones Jr. One of the fastest players at the senior bowl. Probably the best return man in the draft. He has done kicks and punts.

 

No hate for Boston Scott but I despise Kate Scott.  Man I miss Zumov.  

 

Brian Robinson Jr. to replace Howard and James Cook to replace Scott.

Both should be there around RDs 4-6.

Would revitalize that group quickly.

Send Sanders on his way next year if no one bites on a mid season trade.

Agree, and until one gets that upgrade no point in jettisoning a known commodity 

He may be a JAG and 46 game day rosters are mostly JAGs and Scott is a JAG who has an uncanny nose for the end zone.

I have zero problem with Scott as a 3 or even 2nd RB on my roster, one can say he only gets what's blocked for him and I'd say what's wrong with that, when a guy like Sanders inconsistently gets what's blocked for him and doesn't score???

I tend to think Sanders is one of the most over rated players on this board and Scott is consistently one of the most under valued on this board.

I agree though the eagles need upgrade at RB, I really like Howard but like Sanders he's always hurt 

Iike Gainwell I hope he can get stronger, he went down in too many arm tackles, kind of reminds me of McCoy as a rookie in that sense, if Gainwell could get a bit stronger maybe he could be a 3 down back in the Westbrook vein.

Even then they'd still need a guy who can pound it which isn't Sanders and Howard as stated always hurt.

I think Scott still would have value in a rotation in that case.

KAPAAAYYAAAA!!!

Boston Scott has continually proved himself. 

I do seriously wonder how much the Giants would be willing to trade for him just to get him off the Eagles.  If a player destroys you every game you play against him and you play 2 games per year then that would be worth a 3rd round pick to me if I were the Giants to get him from the Eagles.

Right?   Let's just keep getting locked in to average players.  

Scott was the 4th RB option for much of this year.  4th... behind Sanders, behind Gainwell, behind Howard.   But, now they need to lock him up?  Nah.  Let him test the market.  This team needs to upgrade the RB position anyway.

I am a bit tired of the Gainwell over Scott hype. It just isn’t true. Scott started four games this past season (fourth choice). Howard - zero. Heck, Howard wasn’t on the roster until the end of October and had less carries than Scott.  Gainwell - 1 start.  The Dallas PS game.  Fourth in carries.  Where Gainwell was a threat was catching the ball.  As good as Scott’s hands are, Gainwell’s may be even better. Eagles would be foolish not to tender Scott.  But I agree, that locking him up would need to be at a good price.  But the Eagles need a reliable bigger back that has a good burst through the hole.  But Scott is an asset.

Work as a DC in 2022  for a bottom team for free or take the Denver HC money in 2022 and take the year off.  Seems like a no brainer at 63.  Frankly, the dude has had numerous DC jobs.  Think I would call it a career if I was in his shoes.

Go someplace new.  This spring and summer I have trips arranged for Hawaii and Alaska.  Gets me  to having seen all 50:states.  (Landing at an airport and visiting a city doesn’t count, I have driven through the other states.  Fo HI, I have a tour of three islands and for Alaska, I am traveling on three rail lines and two boat trips).  My wife has eight states to go, six after those two trips, and I already have routes planned for two trips. (Get off the freeways.)  I believe if more people saw the country this way, we would be more united as a country.  We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

Mind I ask what you have planned in Alaska? 
 

In the summers I travel to Alaska from May to September to live at and work for one of cruise lines land based hotels. I actually leave for that job again in about 2 months. If you haven’t been yet, be ready for an incredible trip. Alaska is such an amazing place to visit.

Cook makes so much sense in terms of value, fit, and need. Another option would  be Dameon Pierce in Round 4 or 5, too.
