One of the good things is the Auburn T we drafted Prince (Can't remember his last name) who was at Auburn. Before he got hurt he was projected as a 3rd rounder this year. Many sites and experts believe he's the steal of the draft in later rounds. If Dillard doesn't succeed I think Prince takes over and I think his teammate who we drafted in the 5th or 6th round can play G who was suppose to be drafted earlier as well.
Many stumble in attempting to walk like Bill Belichick. BoB next on that list (off topic). I will never forgive Chip for how he got rid of Shady. Or Foles for that matter. Everything happens for a reason and all, but what a turd of a human/coach in my opinion.
Eagles don't have the cap room to take Thuney and they'd have to extend him to make it fit for the cap. There's some speculation that Brooks has contemplated early retirement. If the Eagles feel Brooks may retire after this latest injury then thats the only reason Thuney makes sense for the Eagles.nightmare said:
Eagles won't trade Goedertz. They love him. They know Ertz won't be around much longer and eventually one of the two will have to go. Ertz as good of a TE as he is will be on the wrong side of 30 soon. Trade makes sense in terms of the now for both teams but not the future on the Eagles sideBlackbear said:
Shady I had no ill will towards them trading. From their point of view it made sense however to go sign Demarco for what they did just made it all seem like Bull####. Foles and DeSean yes I will never forgive him. The Stories I heard of Chip after he left are some down right awful stuff that he's lucky the players didn't go to the Union on. I think Lurie handled it the right way on how to get rid of him from a personal and fan perspective.
Thuney counts as $14 mill and the Eagles have $24 mill in cap space(overthecap.com). You would have to pay teams to take Alshon.
Guy looks like a toolThe Noid said:
Not saying they should. All I'm saying is Goedertz is the better I think overall player skill wise. Ertz is a good intermediate guy but he's not a great blocker (Has made strides) where Goedertz is a great inline blocker, can get better RAC etc. Ertz is a great player but he's more of a volume guy. Nothing wrong with that. I love Ertz but both he and Goedertz deals are up at the same time. With the Eagles cap situation they won't be able to afford both. I could see Ertz being traded mid season of that year if the Eagles aren't in contention or before the last year of his deal at the draft if the Eagles end up taking a TE in that draft or sign one in FA.
It makes sense for the Eagles but probably not for the Pat's. Getting Goedert on the field more while trading your 30 something TE with his heavy price tag and fixing the giant hole you have in your OL can't be a bad thing.
Wouldn't call it a "HUGE HOLE" on the OL. It's someone playing between a pro bowl center and pro bowl RT. Thuney for Ertz PLUS 2 picks? You're out of your mind.
Ertz plus picks for Thuney? Yeah that won't happen. It'd be a straight swap with maybe teams trading picks with it being higher for performance based or something. The Eagles don't necessarily desperately need Thuney either. Pats need a TE.
Yeah Ertz isn't really that valuable at this point. It would take a pick imo for sure. If it's like you say and the Eagles don't really need Thuney then there probably won't be much discussion. They're reaching out though so I suspect the Eagles don't share your thoughts on Thuney.
Link?
This is an opinion piece from someone saying he would be a good fit in Philly. This, again, does not hint in the slightest bit of us having spoken to the Pats about him and trying to get him, as Milkman suggested.
I think his value is pretty much zero right now. He does have some value as a player, but also has a ton of NEGATIVE value. He may have to be a throw in for salary purposes only, and we may actually have to give up a higher pick by throwing him in a deal.
No they have not. An NFL Network guy said he'd be a fit and make sense and speculated if the Eagles don't like their guys in Camp they could reach out. Also I know one of the coaches and this just isn't accurate at all. Right now they are happy with what they have in house.
exactly. I'll actually be disappointed if they do. I WANT one of the young guys to step up and take ownership of that starting spot.
I mean he's gonna have a lot of fun playing for that dumpster team and a HC that most of the league thinks is a complete joke
Heard from one of my Eagles sources the dude was being disrespectful to Goedert and his friends or the group was. Per another person the group harassing Dallas' group has been causing issues before in the area so the manager in charge of the bar kicked them out of the first bar as other groups and patrons had complained about them being rude, disrespectful and using some choice foul language I won't even repeat on here. Dallas and his group ended up at another bar but unfortunately group who harassed them was there. The dude Goedert put his hand on was more of trying to push the guy away as he came up to them looking for a fight. The dude interviewed here was one of the bigger instigators looking for a fight. He thought he could pick a fight with someone but his group picked the wrong group of people who fought back. Now he's trying to play "The Victim Card" because he couldn't take the heat that came back his way. Kyle Hadala the dude arrested has a record already in FL as well.
Who knows... this is a very opposite story from his.
To an extent yes however the dude who was arrested already has a record in FL if I'm not mistaken. I did hear that Dallas group was yelling stuff back at the other group but it was more of the usual "yeah real tough trying to gang up on people." "Are you really gonna try to fight an athlete and his friends?" "All talk no action as usual for you guys." etc type stuff. You could say that's instigating maybe. If the group in the bar kicked out was as bad as I've heard, well I'm not sure why the bar manager didn't just call the cops so these clowns couldn't go cause issues elsewhere. Because thats what I'd have done and have seen done in some places I've been too. I know I know some people hate getting cops involved as it looks bad on their business but sometimes you gotta suck it up and do what's best for everyone not just you.
my jaw literally dropped reading that. also, a 10 year contract in the NFL??? NFL owners getting silly with their money, this can't end well. err, it will for Patrick, not for the team or the league. All this does is move the scale and get marginal talents paid way more than they deserve. okay, i'm done being a hater. good for Patrick.
The terms, from what I understand from Twitter and authoritative contract parsers, is that it's a small guaranteed salary per year, limited signing bonus, and that most of the money is tied to very, very large roster bonuses with very little dead cap money.
......excellent stuff
