Well, I hope he is leaving cause he is getting a better job somewhere else. Hate to see Wilson leave over money or something. Agreed about the other two.
Also reading that Chris Long (DE) wants more playing time. Odd he almost retired last year, is going to be 34, but now wants more playing time? He might get it if he comes back and with Graham leaving. More and more I think the Eagles top need and BPA in this draft point to the Eagles taking a DE/DT.
Really hope Jernigan restructures for more guaranteed money but a smaller cap hit.
Wonder if the Eagles swing for any of the top FAs this off-season. They have very little wiggle room but obviously, after cuts, departures, and restructured contracts, they should have some money to play with.
If they let guys like Hicks and McLeod go, do they make a move for Earl Thomas? Mosley? Barr? Clark?
Thought he and Coughlin had a meeting and everyone was seeing eye to eye and all was laid to rest.

Absolute slander, not only was Fantomex one of the best things to come from Grant Morrison's legendary X-Men run, but he was phenomenal in Rick Remender's Uncanny X-force which is probably the cape comic run of the decade.
Even if that wasn't enough he clowns Gambit almost as well as Mr Sinister (pretty apt for this Sunday):

He's a lost cause Mudcrab. We can't teach people good taste. Not even money can buy class.
Seems like that's a no dawg. Or maybe they never talked financial specifics?

I read that Long was considering retiring because he was worried about still being productive. He was productive enough this year and feels good so he thinks he might come back. I'd be glad to have him. He's a great leader and still under contract. And Jernigan pretty much has to restructure, he's barely played and could be cut with no money gained like you said
Hicks is a FA so he has no impact. They'll definitely bring McLeod back though, he's good, has experience in the system, and is still in his prime. And after the injury he'd take a restructure. If he doesn't, I could see cutting him, but that would be trying to fill another hole with someone who we aren't sure would work. And I'm with Kist and Solak on bringing Hicks back on something like a 3 year, $12M deal. That sounds about right given his injury history.
As for FA, it would be nice but I dunno how much they'll be able to do. I'd take Mosley or Earl but they'd probably demand too much money. Same with Clark, he's a good DE entering his prime. There's plenty of rookie DEs the Eagles could (and should) grab instead. I see the Eagles restructuring Jernigan, Agholor, and McLeod and bringing back Hicks and Mike Wallace, and then just filling out with some depth players in FA
Agreed mostly but you never know how the market goes, especially for safeties. We saw last year how top Safeties were still out on the market when the season began. What if the money Earl wants isn't there? The Honey Badget is also a FA. Mainly I want the Eagles to add there with a vet even if McLeod is brought back. Yes, Maddox filled in there but I rather he locks down a starting CB job than play out of position at safety.
The only way the Eagles get the better FAs is if after the players survey the market and realize the money and or terms aren't there and they are better of signing shorter-term deals.
There's more to it than that. The opposing qb can put pressure on the other qb to keep up. You go into games knowing that if you don't ball out, you'll probably lose big. Or you better keep scoring because the opposing qb (Brady, Rodgers) won't quit and will steal the game in the last seconds.
That pressure to keep scoring or flawlessly play with little to no leeway is a very real thing when you know the opposing qb is elite.

I agree they need another safety even if he comes back, but I was hoping they'd draft one instead of signing a FA. McLeod and Jenkins are both still great but it's time to start planning for the future, and the rookie will get plenty of playing time considering how much Big Nickel we play
YoFirst of all. I ain't gonna let some dude with an avy from trash ass 80's cartoon, that lasted one year, that was cancelled even though it was on a infomercial heavy channel, and happened to be a B tier villain talk to me like we on the same level. There's levels to this shit.
Second of all. The Saints fit Vegeta perfectly on the chart by your standards. Vegeta will always be second to Goku. No matter how much he powers up, Goku will always surpass that in raw talent. Hence the Chiefs, a team loaded natural talent. Vegeta draws strength from his constant reminder of Planet Vegeta. A source of pride and prestige. Just like the Saints draw pride from their dome. If what you say about the Saints being trash is accurate, then it perfectly suits Vegeta. Aside from killing B tier characters like Android 19, Nappa, Appule, Dodoria, Zarbon and the other Ginyu force, he never beats anyone significant. Goku has beaten Cell, Jiren, Lord Slug, Frieza, Cooler, Buu, Hirudegarn, Broly. Even Gohan actually killed Cell. Even Frieza destroyed a whole race and planet with one swing.
Yoooo
It's getting real in here
My general feeling is that with this draft being great for DL, the Eagles should use their early picks for bonafide impact guys who can be added to the rotation at DE and DT. They need to add impact guys now cause the window to win is now. When Wentz gets paid and some of the core is gone or replaced by a new core, you don't know if the team will be in the same position to compete for a Super-Bowl.
Yes, Howie is going to try to keep them competitive for 10+ years, but in reality, they need to strike now. Outside of the Wentz's health, the rest of the team shouldn't have question marks and should be good enough to compete for another SB.
So if you are going to reload the DL and OL in the draft, and obviously allocating big money towards RB is out of the picture, the money you do spend in FA should be for impact players, such as Earl Thomas or another vet not named Corey Graham. On a short term deal obviously. Draft an S/CB if he falls to you in the draft but maybe in later rounds.
Shocking how little buzz there is for the Bengals and Dolphins openings. Assuming this guarantees they have their coaches and need their current teams to be eliminated from the playoffs before they can announce.
If Zac Taylor doesn't like Dalton and the Bengals cut him, I bet Gruden in DC makes a move for him.

Oh yeah, unless someone like Deionte Thompson drops to the Eagles I want to go DE and DT with the first two picks. But maybe we could use the other 2nd or package up some 4ths to move up in the 3rd to grab a safety. I'd love Earl, and you are right about the safety market last year being weak. But I think Earl is a special case and he's also a huge Cowboys fan, so I could see him going there for a discount. Honey Badger would be great, but I don't see the Texans letting him walk. Maybe the Eagles could get Landon Collins. He's been up and down, ended the year on IR, and if the Giants don't retain him maybe he'd want to play them twice a year
How are the safeties coming out this draft class?
My top 5 needs are:
1. DL
2. DL
3. Safety
4. RB
5. OL
Top 5 needs but not all 5 need to be addressed in the draft. DL should be since its a strong class but if they can address safety or RB via FA, I'd be all for it.
He's gonna drop and drop far, he got schooled on national television, like Reggie Nelson school.
Good we'll take him in the 4th
There's no studs like Malik Hooker or Jamaal Adams this year. Not the best year but there's some solid guys available on Day 2
lol and that's good on him, really like Kamara.
Huh that's interesting
lol
Hey! Paxton Lynch just got a fresh start with a new team! I wonder who?
*Sees Seattle Seahawks*
NOOOOOO!!
*Sees Seattle Seahawks*
NOOOOOO!!
That Patrick quote should have exclamation points, not a periods SMH
Sorry man, Gruden already took Peterman

Eagles fans can't decide whether they want Wentz or Foles, so instead they can have Tannehill
