I think they can keep him as an international exempt player forever. 

And it seems like they will. He may be on the team with his great great grandchildren one day.

Not sure why they wouldn't re sign this dude.

He can play all over the defensive secondary is a ball hawk, is super high energy passionate guy so why let him walk?

For who for what.

Kelce also just said Hurts didn't get anything on the Hail Merry because he stepped on his foot.🤷‍♂️

Would be crushing because who are we replacing him with? Jessie Bates may finally be  free but I like CJGJ better. Jordan Poyer is a nice coverage player but he's not CJ. You pretty much have to pay this guy I think. I want to pair him up with Brian Branch too. Howie probably would never do that though but maybe one of the second tier guys like Antonio Johnson or Jordan Battle is a possibility.

If he was a free agent I’d agree. However the point was originally, eagles wouldn’t deal pick 30 for that type of player at a premium position due to cap they have right now and need cheaper player so just use money in free agency to get a player with pick. My thing is if I’m the eagles id make that trade with the 30th pick if I’m getting a premium type player (like an aj brown) at a premium position and i figure out how to manage to make the cap work. 

Theres a reason those deals are infrequent. The cap math and risk are tilted against you.

Pitt DT is such a gamble - could be the best defender in the draft, might get bulldozed on 1st down.

The offensive tackle not the midget def tackle

also interested in the BYU tackle thats allegedly 6-8

He's a f'in demon on the field. He's undersized, but there is precedent.

I don’t disagree it’s infrequent. That’s not the argument. if that opportunity came knocking this offseason for the 30th pick i don’t think they flat out say no or wouldn’t try to get it done. I think the bigger issue is a player at a premium position they would covet isn’t going to emerge for the 30th pick. 

Soo took just under a year for nets fans to reach sixer fans level towards Ben.

 

 

That is a take…

At a certain point, you must have some cheap players on the roster that can also play.  The Eagles could do things this past year, because Hurts is dirt cheap, whereas a lot of teams are strapped by their mega deals for QBs.

 

Trading away first round picks in back to back years is a big issue moving forward.  Unsustainable.

I don’t disagree it is unsustainable long term to do it all the time. I also agree you need cheap younger players. However if there’s a guy they truly think is a premium player at a premium position i don’t think they’d just automatically rule it out cause of giving up pick 30, having to pay him and needing cheap young talent. Again if there’s a player of aj brown’s ability at a position like DT i don’t think the automatically say no we can’t do it

smart or not smart, if that opportunity presented itself I’m guessing howie would definitely be in on it and I don’t think it’s inconceivable howie would pull the trigger on it.

You are far too hung up on the brown deal. Recency bias and all but we had to give him 9 figs right? Only a few of those are manageable. Its just bad allocation of resources after having done it last yr

I’m not. I’m telling you that your thinking of there’s no way they’d deal the 30th pick for a player of that type of magnitude if he becomes available and a position they consider is a premium position then they are very likely going to call and see what it’s going to take to get it done. Based off howie’s past I don’t see him not trying to get that deal done and make it work if it’s that type of player he truly covets. If there is a premium player at a premium position he’s not gonna just say I’m out on cause I have to use the 30th pick because it’s cheaper. He has other picks. He’s gonna be able to use to get some cheap talent. This that 30th pick has to be used cause it’s cheaper and like it’s the only pick he has is ridiculous. He still would have 10th overall, a second and a 3rd. And can even trade that into more. 

 i disagree with your notion of we can’t trade the 30th because it’s cheaper and we did it last year so howie is just gonna sit out on a potential game changer if they become available at a premium position the eagles covet. I do not believe even a little bit.

Carter Warren has really light feet - older, coming off injury, and a positional run blocker. Freeland is a bean pole.

We had three firsts. Now we have two but very few mid rounders and alot less cap soace. Just accept its a bad idea. Its dream team level short sighted

i’m gonna give a hypothetical just answer the hypothetical. If the Pittsburgh Steelers came calling Howie Roseman and said we will trade you TJ Watt for the 30th pick what do you think Howie Roseman’s gonna do? Because the only way I’m remotely trading the 30th pick for any player is if it’s a premium player at a premium position otherwise i don’t think the eagles remotely do it. 

if you tell me howie wouldn’t make that move I 100% think you’re wrong. Just accept you know howie would make that move or be interest in doing it

my point to you was not the fact of whether or not it was smart or not. It was if that opportunity came up that the eagles and Howie Roseman would be interested in it and potentially make that move. You tell me there’s no way they’re would remotely do it. that’s bullcrap

Freeland though has explosive track background so good core strength and balance. Type of dude that in a year or two could be a monster

I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong…

where does watt play with reddick here? And who are you losing to pay watt?

you will keep repeating it but it will be a bad idea every time

Change tj watt to the best DT in the league a position they need and covet. you keep saying that doesn’t mean howie wouldn’t do it. You seem to think howie wouldn’t make that move. I 100% disagree with you 

This is not about whether it’s a good or bad idea. You simply said they wouldn’t do it due to cap. I disagreed that they wouldn’t do it. That’s the point you’re missing. You keep saying was not a good idea so they won’t do it, i call BS cause i guarantee   howie would be in on it. 

Stupid sixers

Kancey is a damn wrecking ball but man his size just makes him such a tough guy to really get a feel for.  He's almost like a combination of Aaron Donald and Dwight Freeney.  He causes problems and is a violent player.  If the new DC plays the same D as last year, he could probably come in and take BGs role to start.  Is he a 1st rounder?

Not what i said but nice strawman. Howie has done plenty of dumb trades

Broncos looking to start off on the right foot with this choice.

As of right now, at 10? I'd pass.

At 30?... I don't know.
