For those complaining about missing out on people (Haason Reddick not included), how would you be feeling honestly if an hour from now we saw the following headlines:

Eagles sign Chandler Jones to 2 yr/$33M contract  No

Eagles sign Tyrann Mathieu to 3 yr/$38M contract No thanks

Eagles sign JuJu Smith-Schuster to 4 yr/$50M contract  Too much

 

Do you think Cox is going to the hall?

Slow news day but positive i stumbled upon this by luck and got it. Think it’s cool as it’s game used from the 2010 eagles packers week 1 matchup. 

No Greg Lewis punt returner jersey available?

$14M per is a big chunk for a S. I mean, I know salaries have gone up, but compare that to Dawkins' deals:

Yeah,  I mean that's the market for a top FA S that's an above average starter.  Dawkins'  3rd contract is probably a fair comparison.  He was given an above market deal at age 29 in 2003 when the franchise tag was about $3 million. By the end of the deal,  the franchise tag was around $4 million compared to his salary which was $3 million.  So giving an above market deal to a good 25 year old safety doesn't seem like a bad deal to me.

I'm thinking fail.  

I'm kinda over here half waiting for MLB to do something.  C'mon, do something!  When & where's Freddie / Schwarber / Bryant gonna sign!?

6x pro bowl, 1x all pro.  This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Fletch belongs into the hall of 'pretty good players that were really important to their team' .  I don't think he's a HoFer.

So the good coach, good defense, good OL is a bunch of garbage, eh?

 Like the Eagles have a bunch of holes and not much salary cap space.   

Watson spent a lot of time in Georgia. They definitely don't have the roster for him though, nor the cap flexibility to put anyone around him. Their offense is going to be among the worst in the NFL.

Yeah they are actually worse than if he choose to go to seattle. That said i think he’s from Gainesville Georgia which is close to atlanta. 

I for one can't wait until we bring back McLeod. You know it's coming.

The Falcons have a bad cap and a bad roster. Trading for Watson would make their cap situation worse AND they won't have picks to rebuild. Good luck with that.

He’ll be fine 

Nice pro-day for Tariq Carpenter

If Watson says they’re the only team he’ll waive his no trade clause for then it could happen. And I’m sure the Falcons will do whatever it takes to get a franchise QB. 

The Falcons make sense for what it seems like Watson is actually after.

The OL, coach, defense report was total BS.

I don't know how the Falcons could even make it work.  Matt Ryan's contract is a real albatross. 

Just now, Bacarty2 said:

What would the cap space look like if Matty Ryan + another decent starter went to Houston

Beat me by like 10 seconds.  Spotrac said a pre 6/1 release (I presume trade as well) is an $18mil cap hit + a bunch of dead cap for 22 and 23.  So, yeah, I don't know how that's possible.

Super underwhelming and he's going to be 32. Not really interested, to be honest.

Good luck with Ryan’s contract being traded at that point. It’s 55.5 mil of dead money and 18.9 against the cap which they just restructured it. Not impossible but that’s a lot of money to eat on a player not on your roster and likely not great return as Ryan is older and declined last year.

He’ll be better than whoever the backup will be. Underwhelming isn’t always a bad thing

I’m all for Chandler Jones. Need a dominant pass rusher among other things.
