No teams have lost a game at this time of year so every fan dreams of something special. But there are a lot of teams that realistically are not going to achieve a lot. Bad teams, teams with very clear holes. And right now I don't think we are one of them. We haven't been for a while. Even during down years since 2000, there were extenuating circumstances. 2005 we had the SB hangover combined with TO's drama and McNabb's injury. 2012 had the death of Reid's son in TC plus pressure from management and a rash of injuries. The team knew a change was at hand and was banged up on top of it. 2015-16 weren't horrible years, just less than .500 years resulting from Chip Kelly's heavy hand. 2020 was a Covid and injury ravaged year. Last time the Eagles were really bad were the last two years of the Rhodes era and first year of the Reid era. Over 20 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing with that is the salary cap number won’t be anywhere close to that if this keeps up. Hurts will get a massive contract with the way he’s playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Shiznit Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Unlike other teams who pay their QB, we have a treasure trove of picks to accumulate cheap players if Hurts gets extended. Win-Win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurts will get a massive contract with the way he’s playing We have to let it all play out, but if Hurts is playing well enough to get a massive deal then it means we have an elite level quarterback who’s barely 26. Personally I don’t like giving the quarterbacks big deals unless they’re elite level. Even tho use guys don’t win SB nearly as often as they should though. I do wonder which is more important to Jalen. Is it the big contract or will it be winning. The guys who want to win will take less money. Also we should not easily dismiss the Howie Roseman factor here. Everyone said the Eagles wouldn’t dump Wentz because of that contract and if they did it would set them back years. The following year they made the playoffs despite being cap strapped and this year arguably have one of the best rosters in football. I wouldn’t worry too much about the cap.

I’m not worried about the cap. Just that if Jalen is re-signed, which he should be if his current level of play continues, they won’t have anywhere close to $36M in space.

He always finds ways to manipulate the cap to still get what he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
