Eagles one year contracts could pan out if some of the players succeed by producing more comp picks in 2025.  Interesting strategy. 

It’s already a win if it stings for any of those 1 year contracts to leave.

Howie must have this as his default alarm setting each morning:

Maybe they could splice Swift and Penny together in a laboratory to avoid future injuries.

We have the technology.

I just texted my friends that this works out perfectly since Penny/Swift are injured every other week.  Solution - just play each of them for half the season and have them fight to the death in Howie’s land of misfit RBs to see who gets the playoff nod.

Nice, now we got two injury riddled running backs! 

All good. One year deals where they try to audition for a contract. Similar to Sanders situation last year and he was always banged up as well until last year.

So heading into next year, who are the best UGA and 'Bama players?

Brock Bowers TE UGA.

Might sneak into the top 5. He’s that good.

Second team all American as a true freshman, first team as a true sophomore this past year. One of the reasons Washington had so few catches.

Might want to always keep one of the inactive. As soon as one goes down, you can use the other, and hope he lasts till the other one is ready again.

Now, if somehow Ivan Pace can get added, I'll be thrilled. 

Honestly I know nothing about him but I like the name.  Sounds like a LB name.

 

Are we going to have any space left for those mid season Howie moves?

Bama got I still use the EMB's #1 Cliche  who is a good CB

He had some of the same issues that Sanders had for a while. Where he would miss weeks and he would leave some games early and not return. So it looks like he missed 4 games but really he also left 2-3 games early and didn’t return 

Yea, Howie is doing really well covering his bases. We already had the guy that misses games because of catastrophic injuries. Now we got the guy that misses time with nagging injuries.

Maybe they can share the same jersey number - forcing one to not be able to dress each week.

They were never going to just outright release him because he had too much talent and value. And teams were calling.

The thing was always going to be the Lions could’ve just waited until after the preseason. that was their leverage. Didn’t have to rush into the trader if they weren’t going to get compensation they thought was fair value. I think a 4th round pick is decent value for the lions. Because at the end of next year when he left and got a OK contract, they were likely only going to get a 5-6th round compensatory pick in 2025. So if they weren’t going to use him in the offense anymore and they were down on him getting a fourth round pick in 2024 (which is supposedly a good draft) is decent to solid compensation for the lions.

Now the one thing working for the Eagles in terms of draft picks is when he leaves after 2024 (don’t see them giving him a big money second contract) they are likely to get a compensatory pick. Which he has an incentive to play well as it’s a contract year. 

my concern about running backs availability week to week is still there. Penny tends to have more serious injuries when he gets hurt and misses time. Whereas Swift tends to have more nagging type of soft tissues along with he also had a concussion that cost him time. He is very similar to what Miles Sanders was dealing with his first couple years here. Good when he’s on the field. But he would get banged up with a nagging injury (outside of concussion) and miss a couple weeks and he would also leave some games early. 

 

I did say they wouldn't cut him if they could at least get a 5th 😝

 

I just didn't think he was worth that much because of the injuries and there are still some decent backs in FA and will probably be cut... That's not to say I'm not happy about it, I'm just surprised he was worth that.

That would be an incredible fit for the board.  Mods would have to eliminate that filter.

Can we get a photoshop of this with Howie wearing a ski mask?

QBs are drying up (DTR)...

And he's gone.

Lol @ Howie getting RBs for free. This is a crazy weekend.

There went our QB pick. 

oops,   Browns take dtr

Not sure about the Swift trade.  There are some good RB options left in the draft and willing to bet some will end up UDFA.

If he wanted to continue the Georgia obsession he could take McIntosh.   Sean Tucker, Mo Ibrahim and Tavion Thomas are all still available too.
