The Penny situation is one of the more baffling things in recent years. He's not hurt because he played in preseason and isn't on IR. I don't buy that they're "saving him" for the post-season. If we trade for a RB would have to imagine Penny goes with the pick.

I don’t think it’s confusing at all. It’s time to accept it’s not the same Penny that once was. He’s a bottom of the roster RB.

Can't cut Scott until after this week.  Have to keep 3 weeks if signed from another team's PS

I think you can still release them, they are just guaranteed 3 weeks of pay.

 

Edit: Just looked it up and while you can cut them before the 3 weeks is up, you cannot use that roster spot until that 3 week window has expired.

Then why not IR or cut him?

He's cheap, knows the system, and they have nobody else.

For what?

If Tyron Smith misses the Cowboys game, need Sweat to have multiple sacks.

Nate Gerry. He used to be a freakbeast and played S. He can help out with coverage. He plays very well when matched against big bodied WR’s

We have guys coming off IR soon, still elevating Julio, etc. I just don't understand having him on the active roster when we could sign someone to the PS who will have the same impact.

More to note.

Nakobe Deanhad 12 tackles and 2 QB pressures. i know tackles can be an empty stat but he's still getting there. Sydney Brown had 2 TFL. Both were absolute garbage in coverage but they both have a nose for the ball. They also are both very raw to the NFL game. I'm feeling better about those two than most. If they can adjust to the NFL passing game and improve the more they play, I think the Eagles have a couple of solid players. Dean will never be the stud he was at UGA, but I do think he can get after it. Brown plays like he was shot out of a cannon. It's not just the hair but his style of play is really reminiscent of Troy Polamalu.

I agree with you here but the Owners and NFL lose out on 3-4  prime time games … and as we know it’s about $$. So it won’t happen. Personally, I’d like to see them eliminate the 17th regular season game and 1 playoff spot in each conference (won’t happen either). 

With what I laid out, they lose nothing.  Adding an extra week to the schedule you get an extra SNF and MNF. And if they go to 18 games, they more than make up for it...  it actually means more money and like I said, TNF becomes an actual premier game rather than the dreck it is currently.  In other words, they'd make even more money, not less.

If they need to make moves and start cutting players contributing over him, then it’s an issue. I just don’t think it’s reached that point yet and when it does, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s cut and signed to the PS.

The only guy we had to cut so far was who, Goodrich? There have been enough guys sent to IR we didn’t really have to do anything yet.

Also, Howie sending a 6th rounder for Hicks is now on the table.

He will extend Henry because of the AJ mistake
