He’ll just keep pushing it back. At this point we better hope Howie continues to improve with his drafting. His 2018 draft, and his draft last season were probably his best most recent. He’s going to need to do more of that.

March 19, 20223 yr I wonder how much of a signing bonus or incentive based deal it is. I doubt it’s a straight $14m guaranteed salary. Probably more like $9 with 4m signing and 1m incentives to minimize cap hit.

March 19, 20223 yr Was this much of a saving in the end? When you factor in the dead money hit for being cut etc?

Yep - my guess is this is his last year here with chance of being traded mid-season if we get off to a slow start. Wouldn’t surprise me if they drafted both a DE and a DT (Wyatt) in Rd 1

Wouldn’t surprise me if they drafted both a DE and a DT (Wyatt) in Rd 1 Been thinking the same, especially with the recent moves related to Cox. If that does happen I am a bit torn on what I want them to do with that 3rd day 1 pick. I was really hoping for a 1st rd CB but also see the huge advantage in moving one for a 2023 1st (and either late round 1 or early round 2 pick this April, depending on how far we trade down). I suppose we can always grab a CB (or possibly even Ojabo now with his injury that may drop him a bit) with that later pick. Curious, why the preference for Wyatt over his Georgia teammate Jordan Davis?
March 20, 20223 yr They really didn't seem to save all that much $$. The good thing about it is maybe it lights a little fire under his ass to play better. Maybe.

I think as others have said to me, the savings are on future years not so much this year. In that sense that makes this a logical deal.

We save $2M in 2022, have a dead money hit of $15M to the 2023 cap, then realize an $18M savings in 2024. See the post by @downundermike in the Jordan Davis thread (in the IWTETG forum).

Not my preference per se, just who I think fits with what the Eagles traditionally look for in a DT. They have never been one for huge sized DT, preferring guys who are more explosive, and have that quick first step. Having said that, maybe Gannon sees things differently and that changes the FO approach, particularly with Hargrave and Williams already on the roster - Davis is very much different than those two.
