I know people have soured completely on Barnett, but this is a loss. He's better than a lot of people give him credit for and could have been a really useful rotation piece this year.

Yes - our pass rush may go from bad to worse just in time for the Vikings.

Clearly, April 2023 draft, DE will be a top need. 

You aren’t kidding.

No loss on the production side, just a depth loss. Howie will fill the void. 

Hope he recovers fully and goes to another team and has a million penalties.

Appears to be another 1st round swing and a miss draft pick.

We already knew that.

 I wonder if they will be looking for some DE help now.

I was thinking earlier today that two DE's would turn an average defense into one of the best defenses.

Graham is about spent and Sweat has been a disappointment, since the Eagles desperately need DE's you can bet Howie will ignore them in the '23 draft just as he's done with the secondary.

He had the strip sack in the NFCCG and the huge fumble recovery in the SB so for that alone I won't say complete miss. But pretty much other than that

If all we got out of him was the 2017 NFCCG and the Super Bowl, I'll count it as being less than a miss. You want more out of a 1st round pick, of course. But in the case of our first ever Lombardi (trophy, we already owned the real Lombardi from 1960), I won't be too pissed that the rest of has career didn't pan out. Disappointed, but not overly upset.

A 3-4 might fit their personnel better at this point

I definitely think it does. Davis is more of a NT than anything, and with Dean they’re four deep at LB. Reddick can definitely play that pass rushing 3-4 LB role.

With as poor as the dline played we should put Milton Williams at DE to have a bigger line and maybe stop a RB.

Don’t wish ill on him but this isn’t a big loss. All he’s ever done is have bone head penalties anyways.

That was our first draft with Joe "Draft Guru" Douglas.  I remember that draft thread.  TATE was hyping up every pick like Joe Douglas was King Midas.  Good times.

1 Derek Barnett

2 Sidney Jones

3 Rasul Douglas

4 Mack Hollins

4 Donnell Pumphrey

5 Shelton Gibson

5 Nathan Gerry

6 Elijah Qualls

Howie Roseman opens up on Joe Douglas replacement

A lot of us wanted to draft a DE with one of the 3 picks they had in the 1st round.

Sweat is ok, we like Graham but his age and recent injury are a concern.  This should have been a year for a draft pick to train under BG the way Davis will replace Cox.

We will take a DE in probably the 1st round, definitely by round 2 next April

This allows Jackson to get in the line up.  He got better from last year and is ready for a rotational role.  No drop off from Barnett

I'm still worried about keeping Graham in too long.

I never really understood how bringing him or Cox back was a good thing. It’s unfortunate he got injured, but frankly his money should have been used on a different player.

Cox + Barnett was over 20m.

That could have been Von Miller, Khalil Mack, Chandler Jones, or Robert Quinn

Von Miller looked like he was slowly losing his edge but seems to be back in top form this season.

Looks like he has as many career sacks as our defense had combined yesterday...1.

I never wanted him resigned. He has been a bust for where he was picked. Never showed at any time he could be a top 15 DE. Godspeed in his recovery.
