Teams Philadelphia Eagles - The Gold Standard

No sacks for like half a season?

Was that the player or the scheme? Actually, was there a scheme for the 2nd half of the season? I wonder...

Sweat isn't a world beater but he will certainly improve under decent coaches.

 

[rumply]

Damn Fletch

Right call, go out still playing at a decent level. At the start of last season there was a big worry Fletch would suck so I much prefer this ending.

Oh man, there goes another one of my faves.

Really does feel a bit like the changing of the guard this off season.

Yeah going to be a very different looking defence esp if we see Sweat go & who knows who else. BG is back for one more year tho.

Think it's one of Sweat/Reddick going or is it possible we say goodbye to both?

Huff plays a lot more like Reddick does, which would make you think he's the one most likely to be moved

huh? That's a lot of $

Not sure my curse was worth this.

Barkley might be worth it if Hurts pulls his head in improvising plays. Maybe…

I think they think he can have the sort of impact that McCaffrey had on the Niners. If he does no one will complain about the money.

He's also due big money. We just got Huff under contract for cheaper than Sweat will want.

We'll trade whichever gets us better deal between him and Reddick, and take the picks while bringing in the best free agent at edge.

That is a lot of money & very surprised Howie would spend so much at that position. Still, he could be the player that sends this offence to the next level.

This thread hasn't even caught up to the truck of money we just gave Landon.

Devonta still waiting on that extension tho

O'line signings just not sexy

Not sexy?!

Did Howie win Powerball...

 

[Constantgin]

Just don’t like paying rbs period resources just better elsewhere but otherwise eagles doing really well in free agency so far.

 

[Jatz]

Oh man, don't agree with that at all.

Everyone over the last 2 years has been saying how overrated the RB position is, draft them then discard them etc.

We've got holes everywhere in defence but we've thrown money into the RB? Would've preferred the investment elsewhere.

Of course the added bonus is watching Giants fans cry we've got their prized player now.

 

[Jatz]

He's a much better player but god this reminds me of Demarco Murray.

Now excuse me while I go find somewhere to throw up.

That's not this year's orthodoxy though, it's shifting. We just saw CMC drive the Niners to win the NFC.

Jacobs got paid, Swift just got 8 mill per year. Pollard got 8 mill a year.

The difficulty with the 'sign and plug in' approach, if you want to be a top offence, is that its hard to get guys like that who can pass block. Saquon can.

 

[trikster]

minor signing

Nah, not the same. Demarco didn't want to be here. Saquon is from Penn State, he's coming home.

Good job on the Eagles taking advantage of Joe Douglas' incompetence. Hope Huff kills it for the Eagles.
