And if Ertz is going to be traded, assuming its a pick, that puts us at 11 picks next year.

What is the cap space for 2022 and 2023?

Next year is a wash in my opinion and want to know if Hurts can be a starter in this league or not. He should have some decent weapons if the line can stay healthy.

So before I quote, OTC was bad in the past about not taking accelerated dead cap hits into account.  I *think* they fixed it but I haven't spent the time to do the math to see if it check out.

 

According to them, its $21,459,141

 

Great! Right?

 

Wrong.  That's with *only* 40 people on the roster.  If you add 53 folks at the minimum, we barely have enough to sign draft picks.  And high draft picks, like our potentially 3 first rounders, are well above that minimum.

 

This is the hidden cap hell I was warning people about last year.

 

Trade Cox.  Trade Ertz.  Trade everyone over 30 without a negative dead cap hit.  

Poor Jets fans

 

Random thought since we had QBs taken at the top of the draft along with another guy from that buster-ass school in ND. 

Wentz went to (but didn't play) in Super Bowl his second season. Goff went (and lost) his 3rd season.

Has there been another draft where the top-2 QBs each made the Super Bowl (due to their play) within 3 years? 

The National people seem to think we did well. All Bs and some As

I’m excited to cheer against Miami all year. I don’t like that Giants have Bears pick which could be a top 5

Yup.  Trading with Dallas was stupid (Assuming no one was going to trade with Dallas for Smith).  Could have kept our third and had either Smith or all those delicious picks.

This made schmoopies morning. A 6'4", 218 lbs WR she can call Grimey!

Florida WR Trevon Grimes signing UDFA deal with the Eagles

Trevon-Grimes-Senior-Bowl-Eagles-player-

The competition to make the Eagles roster at wide receiver will be stiff this summer and a fresh participant was added to the mix.

Former Florida wide receiver Trevon Grimes is set to be reunited with Eagles quarterbacks coach, Brian Johnson.

Grimes has 38 catches for 589 yards and nine touchdowns and the talented wideout logged 4 catches for 78 yards and a touchdown against Alabama in the SEC title game.

He always reminded me of Alshon, and his scouting report is eerily similar to Alshons...Albeit projected far later in the draft than Alshon was. Their noted weaknesses are especially similar.

  • Weaknesses:
  • Playing speed
  • Ability to get separation
  • Training habits
  • Work ethic?

 

He's the front runner for the 2021 Nasty Nate Award.

I'm already all in on Gainwell, but like Maddox, I claim McPhearson as my dude immediately after learning a little about him.  No, he didn't say he wants to be a ref so he could screw over the cowboys on Twitter 10 years ago, but the radio interview this AM has me in on the kid

I bet Hurts is so excited to have Smith here.

It has nothing to do with having identical body types, I'm sure.

GM Howie Roseman says it's 'ridiculous' notion he's veering from Philadelphia Eagles draft board

PHILADELPHIA -- With another sign of tension between Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and his scouting department appearing to bubble to the surface during the 2021 NFL draft, Roseman on Tuesday offered his take on Friday's awkward exchange between him and senior football adviser Tom Donahoe.

He also responded to the notion that he is going off his personal draft board to make picks.

"That's ridiculous," Roseman said during an appearance on 94WIP Tuesday. "Every single person on our staff has their own draft board. That's how we write up reports. [Coach] Nick [Sirianni] has his own draft board, [vice president of player personnel] Andy Weidl has his own draft board, Tom Donahoe has his own draft board, I have my own draft board. That's how we rank players. That's how our system is set up, to do that.

"We have an Eagles draft board that reflects a lot of things, and my job is to bring them all together. My job is to get the coaches' perspective, the scouts' perspective, the medical perspective, the character perspective as we do this process. My job is to try to reflect all of that. I listen to everyone to try and make these decisions. And at the same time, someone may be unhappy because it may not be reflected accurately in all the information that I have that they may not have."

Following the selection of defensive tackle Milton Williams in the third round, cameras showed a standoffish Donahoe reluctantly give Roseman a fist bump as Roseman offered congratulations across the room. Roseman suggested Donahoe was keen on another defensive lineman -- Alim McNeill of NC State. The Eagles lost the opportunity to draft McNeill when Roseman decided to trade down from No. 70 to No. 73 for an additional sixth-round pick, with the Detroit Lions selecting McNeill at No. 72.

A separate camera angle showed defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon jubilantly celebrating following the Williams selection.

"Discussion and debate and having these conversations, it's OK. You'd rather have that passion," Roseman said. "Tom's been here for a long time. We've been together for 10 years, extremely close relationship. It's OK to have tough conversations, and Tom and I have had a lot of them in 10 years."

The exchange between Roseman and Donahoe is on the heels of a 4-11-1 season that was full of internal dysfunction and included strain between Roseman and members of the scouting staff, brought on largely by the results of the 2020 draft, as Roseman went against the scouting draft board in the first two rounds and selected Jalen Reagor and Jalen Hurts over Justin Jefferson and Jeremy Chinn, sources said. Owner Jeffrey Lurie was influential in the Hurts pick, according to sources.

Similarly, there were members of the former coaching staff under Doug Pederson who felt the front office wasn't properly weighing their input on players. Pederson, the lone Super Bowl-winning coach in franchise history, was fired in January after he and Lurie were unable to get on the same page in respect to their visions for the future.

During their availability around the draft, Roseman, Weidl and Sirianni all stressed that they were working collaboratively.

"I think the one thing I learned, and I learned it a long time ago being around [former Baltimore Ravens general manager] Ozzie Newsome, is be a good listener. Be a good listener, listen to your scouts and communicate," Weidl said. "I think we did an outstanding job that I really felt through this whole process these last three days."

To be fair, if he was a real man and knew how to patch drywall, she probably wouldn't have reacted so harshly.

In my opinion, a generational talent at DE and CB and a really good S in top 5.

This could work out perfectly if get a lot of morale victories and Hurts looks good. 

Because of the pandemic next years draft is likely both deeper AND with normal scouting.  This is why I personally have been banging the drum for as many 2022 picks as possible

Well bet next year's draft will be crowded. Just need everybody to get vaccinated!
