Glad to lose Edward's. Many better alternatives on the free agent market. 

Plus,  Dean and White is a better combo in today's NFL and White won be cheaper to keep.  I don't mind if both leave.  But either way,  letting Edward's go is the right choice. 

I wouldn’t miss Edwards at all.  I will pass out cigars if another team signs Epps, but I don’t expect it.  I’d put it at 90% Epps is brought back 

Sirianni said a few days ago he was optimistic they can keep some of their guys so I’m still holding out hope they can re-sign some guys. The only ones I really care about tbh are Hargrave and CGJ.

I asked Jason from OTC. All of Graham’s original void years stayed in place, no acceleration now with was about 9M. 

So once the numbers come in for the contract we either save anywhere from 1M to 7M on the cap for 2023. 

 

Has the contract even been signed yet?  Based on the quote from Josina the other day when the news of the deal broke I think we might still be waiting for the ink to hit paper on what hte official deal and terms are.

To use your house metaphor, both the Bengals and the Eagles have to pay the same annual mortgage payment for their house. So in that they are indeed identical.  However, the Bengals house has been built in a residential neighborhood, and there is very little risk of a disaster destroying their house.  The Eagles house on the other hand is right on a major highway that young drivers use for street racing.  The risk of one of those street racers crashing into the house and it being uninhabitable during repairs is high … some would say very high … so there is meaningful risk that the Eagles house will be lost.

Except the Bengals house is older and has been burnt down before and has a high likelihood of burning down again.

I read an article on a potential Eagles-Jets draft night trade.  The premise was that the Jets need to get up to #10 to shore up their OL by drafting Paris Johnson at #10:

 

Trade Offer No. 1

• Jets get No. 10 overall pick.
• Eagles get No. 13 overall pick, 2024 second round pick & 2023 fifth round pick (No. 143).

Trade Offer No. 2

• Jets get No. 10 overall pick & 2023 seventh round pick (No. 219).
• Eagles get No. 13 overall pick, 2023 third round pick (No. 74), 2023 fourth round pick (No. 112) & 2023 sixth round pick (No. 207).

The Eagles announced the deal.

I’m wrong on the numbers though. I thought Spotrac added the new deal in already and they haven’t as @LeanMeanGM pointed out.

Panthers really ate the Colts’ lunch with that trade up to #1.

Colts are in a position where they have to draft a QB of the future after burning through Brissett, Rivers, Wentz, and Ryan in consecutive seasons.  Ballard’s job should now depend on fixing the QB position for the present and future.  I would assume the Panthers will draft Stroud, the Texans will take Bryce Young, and the Cardinals are sitting at #3.  
 

If the Colts assume they can draft Will Levis at #4 they’re setting themselves up to get beaten to the punch again.  I would assume ARI is willing to deal the #3 overall pick for the right price.  LV is sitting there at #7 without a QB and SEA at #5 is still in a position to be in the QB market, according to Pete Carroll.  Either of those teams could trade up to #3 today.

The second one is way better. If the Eagles trade down I'm cool. If the Eagles trade down for more picks in 2024 I will chuck my remote through the wall. They already have an extra 2nd in 2024 and will likely be getting multiple comp picks. Add in the lack of day three picks this year and it's 2023 where they need to add.

This is the full quote, which sounds weird 

"The Eagles have several key players they could bring back, and though it appears they are waiting for markets to develop before reacting, some around the league believe they've made a strong effort to re-sign safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, who appears set for the open market. That could open the door to re-sign cornerback James Bradberry or another player."

I could see him going at 9 to the Bears.

Just when I think people can’t get any dumber, I read over pages of people having actual conversations suggesting we trade Jalen Hurts  

I find any first round trade down that doesn’t at LEAST net us an extra second round pick to be a complete waste and terrible trade.

There is no reason to maneuver down in the draft for pocket change.

The #10 overall pick is ideally a franchise cornerstone.  A third round pick is a likely career backup.  Why jeopardize one so you can add the other?

Offer 2.  Eagles already have 2 2nd round picks next year.  Clearly, 3 is better than 2 but 3 more picks in this draft, especially in the 3rd and 4th is more important for this team moving forward.  

Glad I was able to dominate

In general I agree but moving down from 10 to 13 for a 3 and 4 is a pretty good deal. Let's say they are targeting a corner and they value all of the top three guys in the same tier that's where something like that makes sense. I'm mostly with you though as I would prefer to stay at 10 and take the best player on the board and then move down from 30 into the late 30's/early 40's for an extra 3rd and day three pick.

If they could get CGJ and trade Slay and let Bradberry go but sign Jamel Dean. I'd be blown away. Do this trade back with the Jets and take either a CB there, or even Nolan Smith. Or even trade back again another few picks. If Hargrave and Cox are gone, the DT position is in a tough spot and I'm not seeing this draft or FA very good in general.

Heck yeah. That would be a nice draft in my opinion.

I’m with you. I’ve never understood why teams trade down for mid round picks. Unless there’s no players you like, or 4 in the same tier. We tried that silly ish and wound up with Marcus Smith

That does make sense.  There has been scenarios where it has worked as well.   

What's the consensus on CB Byron Murphy. Only 25.

That's not what happened with Marcus Smith at all. There was a group of players they liked at their pick and all of them went right before they were up. They were hoping for Cooks and Clinton-Dix specifically and they went with the two picks right before them. With nobody left they liked they were going to reach when they were on the clock so they traded down a few spots and reached there. This was not a situation where they were just hell bent on trading down for more picks. It was a horrible pick at the time and in hindsight and they were unprepared for a legit plan B when the guys they wanted got sniped from them but it had nothing to do with them just trading down for the sake of doing it to get more picks.
