Make your official free agency predictions

Mainly for the Eagles, but if there are any league wide predictions you feel like making have at it.

I've got the Eagles Signing Justin Reid and Christian Kirk to significant deals. Both fit their mold of guys in their mid 20's who could be on the verge of breaking out and while costly won't be top of the market prices. I also expect them to sign either Rodney McLeod or Marcus Maye to a reasonable 1 year deal.

I definitely think they sign Reid, but if they elect to go a little cheaper at WR I would expect them to target JuJu Smith Schuster which could free up money for a phase 2 or 3 player at DE, LB, or CB.

I think they might kick the tires on some pass rushers like Emmanuel Ogbah, Haason Reddick and Chandler Jones, but ultimately won't be willing to pay the asking price.

I think they will definitely draft an edge rusher and corner in round 1. I would look for them to draft a bigger RB who fits the Jordan Howard mold in rounds 3-5. Someone like Brian Robinson or ZaQuandre White.

Of their pending free agents I think they will pay the tender for Herbig but not for Scott, Singleton or Ward. Singleton could be back on a cheaper deal, but I expect Scott to go elsewhere. Barnett, Harris, Ward, Howard, etc will not be brought back. I think Avery could come back on a very cheap one year deal later on in the offseason depending on how his ''market'' does or does not develop and what the Eagles are able to do at SAM.

Jalen Hurts will be the starting QB but I wouldn't be at all shocked to see them draft a QB in round 2 or 3.

Marcus Williams on a big deal, Trey Flowers on a surprisingly thrifty deal, Fletcher Cox stays, Jalen is our 2022 starter, and we’re the first team since Matt Millen to take a WR in the first round for 3 consecutive years… along with Jordan Davis and a CB

Who you thinking at WR,  a few that would make sense in that 15-20 range. Wilson, Olave, Williams, Jackson, Burks.

Honestly, it’s all a jumble right there and I never know how Howie rates that position the way he does. So it’s not as much what I want, but what I expect the team to do.

Howie covets Dline, and we’re absolutely going to replace Barnett with a capable name. Safety is something the Lurie era as a whole has emphasized, and just because we went for it with Ridley doesn’t mean the next WR trade will even be there for us. I think that was a special scenario where Howie felt he could get value; it was probably for a 2 or worse. Plus Jordan Davis makes too much sense for Fletcher’s age, questionable future, and what we have behind Hargrave right now.

I think they are going edge rusher and corner, and then moving down into the 30's/40's for two picks this year or a pick this year and first next year. I just don't see them keeping all three picks as much as I would love to see them stand pat and take three defensive players. Davis and a WR does make some sense though if they keep all three. Obviously what they do or do not do in free agency will have a significant impact on this.

Sounds like the Eagles are one of a few teams in on JuJu.

They were allegedly in on JuJu last season so maybe this time they seal the deal.

Pretty much could be said for most of these players. The Eagles don’t exactly have the contract space or an appealing roster. These draft picks need to have solid playing potential early if this team wants to compete.

Marcus Williams, DJ Chark, Hassan Reddick

I like Marcus Williams and do think we sign a S in free agency (that might even mean bringing back McLeod) but have a feeling that if we go outside we’ll avoid him in much the same way we did Byrd in 2014 when we went with Jenkins instead much to the chagrin of most fans here but in the end it turned out to be the right move.  I have a gut feeling we’re going to grab someone not named Williams.  I just hope it works out as well as it did in 2014.

I have no idea why, simply put, he isn't very good.

Sign Pascal

Extend Slay 

Sit on their hands until a few weeks into FA sign one year deals with a few vets like last year.

Sign: Pascal, Juju, Justin Reid, Donte Jackson, Chandler Jones (Jones would be most expensive FA while the rest should be medium to lower range costs)

Trade: Dillard

Market for DE gonna be too high, there's a good draft class just draft one.

I believe they will make a big move for a FA DE such as Ogbah but any other signings (even at safety) will be done a week into Free agency where Lowie can go discount shopping in the 1 year deals aisle.

Could see both DT and DE drafted in round 1 with a trade down for extra/future picks. Ideal scenario would be Detroit trading back up to 19 from 34? giving us a 2023 1st and 2022 mid round pick.

Hoping we still address any of LB/CB/S in rounds 2 and 3.

The main concern is that if there is a certain path to F up 3 first round picks then Lowie will find it

Haha just seen Ogbah signing extension with Dolphins not sure if Frank Clarke or Reddick are as good options

Not sure if we can afford all of that - but would love it. Great job so far.

I'm going to say - Joe Haden - 1 year contract. Agree with JuJu and Jordan Whitehead. Potentially McLeod back on a cheap one year deal as well.

First thing I saw this morning to get my day started with a disappointment.  Was really hoping we'd get Reid.
