Rob331 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 It's been quiet since the Reddick signing and understandably so. The Eagles had about $24M to spend. Kelce got $15M but with Howie's contract finagling it's probably about $5M. Same thing with Riddick's $15M - probably about $5M cap hit this year. So - that leaves about $14M. Herbig, Ward, and Chachere probably cost them about $5M total - now we're at $8M Draft picks are going to cost about $5M - that leaves $3M $3M is a bit less than the amount teams want to have for contingencies throughout the season. Bottom line - they are probably done making splashes. Look for some cap saving gymnastics and a couple of bargain signings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2rock Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Kelce's cap hit is only $6.5M for 2022. There are 3 dummy years (2023-2025) added to spread out the prorated bonus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchesterEagle Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Howie is doing just fine. Got a premier pass rusher on a relatively reasonable contract. Other teams are going crazy, but lots of good players left at positions of need. Let the market play out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTW Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I actually will praise Howie here. Got a very good player without breaking the bank and otherwise not reaching or over paying. You build through the draft and only supplement in free agency. Of course they don't have as much cap room because of Howie, and don't draft well because of Howie but at least don't overpay in free agency just to satisfy fans wanting action. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time believing this FO would ever spend the kind of money on a safety that Baltimore did (5 yrs/$70M, AAV of $14M). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From trading for every available quarterback to assuming the Eagles we’re signing everyone the fans had ridiculously high hopes for this off-season. A roster full of bad contracts and declining older players can not afford to make a lot of big splashes. Most of the issues are on Howie just as you have mentioned. They told us this was a retool/rebuild. That doesn’t happen in one season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want them signing a bunch of free agents, they need to fix their drafting first if they are going to do this properly. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent followed JAX at all other than when Foles played. He led the team in tackles but had a rough season by his standards. The team transitioned to a 3-4 defense so a switch back to a 4-3 should help him. I think he'll garner a lot of attention and we have limited funds but it would be nice.

But look the reality is he's not going to be able to add a good FA WR at this point and he sucks at skill positions in the draft. Hardly an ideal situation.

Seems to be a reoccurring theme this off-season that guys just don’t want to come to the Eagles. Seems like players see this roster and they just don’t think they’re capable of winning and that includes all of these quarterbacks people have been fawning over too.

After 42 hours of tampering period you have diagnosed a recurring theme? As far as we know the Eagles had real interest in two players so far, Reddick, who signed, and Williams who didn't. Meanwhile players are flocking to the Jaguars based on their stellar roster and magnificently run organization? Money is talking loud and clear should be the main recurring theme. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on last years numbers for rookies, our draft picks are projected to cost 15.7 million https://overthecap.com/draft/ People always massively underestimate what draft picks cost to sign for some reason, I expect Slay and Hargraves deals to be restructured to convert some of their base salary to bonus to give some extra cap room, Brooks will take one of the post June 1st slots for his retirement to ease that burden. We just signed Reddick, we have Sweat on the books and a good draft at DE coming up, I think there's a chance Graham takes the other June 1st designation, he's 34 coming off a major injury and is expensive for what looks like will be a rotational role going forward.

My point made then, money talked, not the quality of the team. I'm sure Kirk had interest from a number of teams who were better than both the Jags and Eagles. I suspect Tampa, KC, GB, AZ, and more checked in, but 4 years at $72,000,000 is generational money. He can play to win on his next contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
