Teams Philadelphia Eagles - The Gold Standard

Tend to agree

I'm curious on SF spending all that money to further strengthen their defence. Have they lost anyone?

They clearly should've been looking at QB I'd have thought.

They've only lost Hassan Ridgeway so far and they signed Sam Darnold for 1 year

They've already got a starter and a good back up. You can't keep spending money on the same position in case of injuries, you don't have enough salary cap.

Who's the starter? Lance has proven nothing and Purdy just had a hot streak and is now coming off major surgery to his throwing arm.

Unless they've lost a defensive starter I'm not familiar with, I just can't fathom dropping more money on a position that really doesn't address the issues they faced last season.

Yep, there's no guarantee Purdy will ever be the same again, nasty injury.

49ers lost McGlinchey at RT who Denver got on 5 year 87.5 mil deal considering his only a great run blocking, pretty average pass blocking and has a ability to kill drives with stupid penalties happy to see the back of him.

You reckon they don't think a guy they took at 3 is their starter? Righto.

They're in win now mode and the guy is coming off an ACL and previously relied on his athleticism.

Anyway, not the thread for it. But if I was a 9'ers fan, I'd have much preferred investment at the QB position over Hargrave.

I think Shanahan has proven his offence works with just about any bum he throws in there, Darnold might be a really good signing, especially if Purdy isn't going to be ready by week 1.

 

[Southerntakeover]

So far it is pretty much as expected though :

• we knew Hargrave would get paid (4y/$84.5M) and we wouldn't be able to afford to match it
• let TJ walk (3y, $19.5M) and play Dean to save $
• let Epps walk (2y/$12m) and play Blankenship to save $
• let Dillard walk if he got paid (3y/$29M), and sweet jesus did the titans over pay him

I probably thought they'd try to keep TJ and let White go

It's proved it can injure any quarterback at least. An equally good reason not to spend there.

Well that's certainly a way of looking at it!

 

[manureid]

Whats the verdict in Epps?

 

[Jatz]

Amazed we kept Bradberry. Good bit of business.

Not sure that bodes well for CJ but we'll see.

 

[rumply]

 

[rumply]

Not an over the top deal, reckon he could have got more elsewhere, so might still be some wiggle room for CJ.

 

[rumply]

Keep Slay & or bring in an early round CB & defensive lineman + CJ & all of a sudden that D is looking solid again.

 

[almuz]

Nice

D still needs CB2, FS and DLine rotation but looking good (Hoping Milton Williams can replace Hargraves)

Offense looks elite still, just need a power back IMO - what’s Blount doing these days?

Got his feet up somewhere if he's got any sense

RB is one position I'm not worried about, last I heard this draft is fairly stacked.

 

[Jatz]

Have we decided on Quez yet?

 

[Southerntakeover]

Have we decided on Quez yet?

A position I suspect we try to upgrade on later in the draft

 

[Southerntakeover]

Amazed we kept Bradbury really, suspect that means Slay trade is likely

Agreed - shame it didn’t work out with Quez great wheels just can’t catch or hold onto the ball when hit

 

[Jatz]

I'm not against that.

Especially if it means keeping CJ.
