So what's available for a backup QB now that Brissett is in Washington and Minshew may be going to the Colts?
Marcus Mariota, maybe the 25 year old rookie?So what's available for a backup QB now that Brissett is in Washington and Minshew may be going to the Colts?
Between the trade rumors and the release rumors it seems like Howie dared Slay to find a better option and when he couldn't restructured with no new money. He played chicken with Slay and won.

Wentz, Ryan, Marriotta, Bridewater, Bring our buddy Chase Daniel back, Flacco, etc the backup market isn't anything to great. Bringing Wentz back just to see the cartwheels and backtracking some of these media guys do would be entertaining though.
Yeah I think Ryan and Flacco are done. No chance Wentz comes back. MM would make the most sense.So what's available for a backup QB now that Brissett is in Washington and Minshew may be going to the Colts?

Mariota makes the most sense IMO. He's mobile enough that your whole offense doesn't have to change if you need him to play a game or two.
Yuck to all those Turds. Ryan and Flacco have nothing left in their arms, and we know Wentz ain't coming back to back up Hurts lolololololYeah I think Ryan and Flacco are done.

He was expecting *a lot* of money and is finding the market to not be that friendly for his services, it seems to me. Good news for the Eagles, I'm sure there is/are offers on the table that he is trying to beat. He ain't gettin Jesse Bates money...
Deleted tweet from CJGJ.
My bestie is an Eagles fan, and is convinced CJGJ is the linchpin to the defense.
If you aren't signedin that first wave, you probably ain't getting that big deal, I agree. Isaiah Wynn, as well, come to think of it.He was expecting *a lot* of money and is finding the market to not be that friendly for his services, it seems to me.
Knew he was less productive....didn't realize it was THAT glaringOk yeah that’s a pretty glaring difference.Darius Slay 2022 via @PFF
Week 1 thru Week 6: Targeted 32 times, 14 catches allowed for 168 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT, 31.8 passer rating
Week 7 thru Super Bowl: Targeted 51 times, 33 catches allowed for 391 yards, 4 TD, 0 INT, 114.1 passer rating
The passer rating and td/int obviously big. But in comparing numbers, w7-sb is 12 games vs 6 games in the first sample so targets/catches/yards are about the same.Knew he was less productive....didn't realize it was THAT glaringOk yeah that’s a pretty glaring difference.Darius Slay 2022 via @PFF

200 touches would be a huge haul for him at $1M for the season, very jealousIn for a Penny, in for a Pound.
I like this signing I think he could be an underrated signing and be one of the best 1 yr contracts of the offseason. Always like Penny but he was either hurt at times or behind other guys and just never given as many oppurtunities as he should've had
1.35 base, up to 2.1 max with incentives. 600k only is guaranteed. Hell of a deal when miles is going for 6.25/yr.Did someone say Penny for like $1M-$1.5M?
If he can take the field for even 150-200 carries, that's dirt cheap

NFL agent believes Marcus Mariota quit on Falcons
The Falcons are clearly amid the beginning of a new chapter in the franchise’s history. While absorbing record-breaking dead cap hits for all-time playerswww.yardbarker.com
Reporting Eagles signed CB Greedy Williams from Cleveland. Suddenly a crowded secondary unless he can play safety. Admittedly I don't know anything about him.
Looks like you got him for $5-8 million.So what's available for a backup QB now that Brissett is in Washington and Minshew may be going to the Colts?

I don't know if they take him. Apparently after he got benched he left the team and threw a temper tantrum You don't want the supposed Locker Room leaders which are the QBs doing that.
Made the most sense. Not happy since I always hated him, but he'll do just fine as a backup and I'm sure he knows very well that's his role here.Eagles sign Mariota as backup
Damn, that's pricey, no?3/42 for Slay, $23 mill guaranteed
Brian Branch on the table as a CGJ replacementPick 10 likely no longer a corner I'm assuming. Basically ties us to DL with the pick unless we trade back (which I think we will now)
apparently that 3 years, includes this year, so they were able to significantly reduce this year's cap number. The $23 mill guaranteed also includes this year's salary I guess, so I think overall this deal must be a lot more team-friendly that it sounds on the surface.Damn, that's pricey, no?3/42 for Slay, $23 mill guaranteed
That sounds like a lot of money, but the significant part is the $6 million raise from Slay’s original 2023 salary of $17 million to the guaranteed amount of $23 million.
Cap details weren’t immediately available, but the deal will significantly reduce Slay’s unwieldy $26.1 million cap hit for this coming year and carves out cap space for the cap-strapped Eagles while also giving Slay the raise he desperately wanted.
Wouldn’t count it out. If we stay at 10, their BPA philosophy might lead them to take a CB, and with 2 30yo+ corners it’s still kind of a need.Pick 10 likely no longer a corner I'm assuming. Basically ties us to DL with the pick unless we trade back (which I think we will now)
wow, that is some salary cap gymnastics. Great if it is a win-win for the Eagles and Slay. Still hoping they get a DB early though so the foundation can be built up, just glad the Eagles won't be forced into it. Would love a trade back again for future draft capitalapparently that 3 years, includes this year, so they were able to significantly reduce this year's cap number.

That's an upgrade from Minshew. Plus it keeps the QB runs as a part of the offense should Hurts go down again.Eagles sign Mariota as backup
If they stay at 10, I hope its for DL/DE. I wouldn't want to see a CB drafted there only to have them sit. Whoever they take at 10 I think would have to be a starter in '23. Given the recent signings, I'm in favor of a trade back into the 15-20 range.wow, that is some salary cap gymnastics. Great if it is a win-win for the Eagles and Slay.

would guess that's the biggest factor holding him back. it's almost painful watching his interviews, though I love his passion for the game.Pretty happy with the Mariota signing. Greedy Williams is another classic "Buy low" signing that could pan out like Rashaad Penny. Corners are *still* over 30 so anything is possible at #10 in the draft still, but I, like other Birds guys here am leaning toward the trenches. Jalen Carter very well could be in play.
Gonna try my best to not decipher CJ's next social media moves, but its pretty obvious he is frustrated with his lack of market. His personality, calling out coaches had to have at least *some* effect on his lack of market. A lot of coaches/teams just don't like that stuff and he is finding that out to a degree. Odds are he is back on a big incentive laden 1 year deal and we do it all again next year. Lets see what Howie cooks next.
Showed up to his pro day slow, over weight, and refusing to do the athletic drills.Jalen Carter very well could be in play.

I think this hurts him more than the incident does. If you're already potentially sliding, wouldn't you do everything it takes to show up to that pro day and dominate so teams don't let you slide? Starting to think he may be there at our pick and now not sure how I feel about it.
I'd love to see the Eagles take him at 10 as well, but there have been questions about his work ethic and some off the field issues that have only been reinforced over the last few weeks. However I believe the Eagles may have the locker room and veteran presence to help him, let's say, mature and grow into an NFL player.Showed up to his pro day slow, over weight, and refusing to do the athletic drills.Jalen Carter very well could be in play.

Game tape don't lie. He's a stud. I don't need any Mike Mamula workout warriors who can't play.

Possibly, we're just speculating. Strange things happen on draft day. IF he's there, I'd still want him on the Eagles.Bears need d-line in the worst possible way.

Yeah. I think this is possible, but with limited draft capital, unlikely. Howie has the Eagles armed to take truly BPA, and while his pro day is disconcerting, as they say "The film don't lie" or something like that. Considering all the mental stress of both the arrest warrant stuff and prepping (or not at all) for the combine/pro day, it may be the only time to really chalk it up to the totality of circumstances and give him a mulligan for this. Considering all this together is why the professional scouts/evaluators are there to really give the best they can for Howie to make a correct decision whether to draft or not.Bears need d-line in the worst possible way.

If he gets past Seattle, I think the Eagles will trade up for him.
So you’ve changed your tune on his personality? CoolGonna try my best to not decipher CJ's next social media moves, but it’s pretty obvious he is frustrated with his lack of market. His personality, calling out coaches had to have at least *some* effect on his lack of market.
I think it's more his unwillingness to even show up remotely in shape for the biggest job interview of his life, when there's already people talking about a possible slide. I dunno, I'm not saying it's a huge deal, but I'm shocked that a player with a small character issue hanging over his head, wouldn't show up and shut up all the doubters, and he did the opposite.Game tape don't lie. He's a stud. I don't need any Mike Mamula workout warriors who can't play.
No chance. We don't have draft capital to trade up. You also need a trade partner.... If he's viewed as highly by the Eagles as you think he would be, then chances are that Detroit, Vegas, Atlanta, Chicago, would also be licking their lips if he dropped to them and not trade.If he gets past Seattle, I think the Eagles will trade up for him.
No. *I" have not. I love his personality, energy and the way he gets under other players' teams' skin. Its not for everyone though. I'm just saying it's the reality of the NFL. Not many owners/coaches/locker rooms can handle it. I'm confident we can. Our team has great leadership, and the ultimate leader and the penultimate position of leadership in the sport. Check Jason Kelce's full comments on Jalen Hurts, but in a nutshell "As long as Jalen Hurts is the QB, I think Philadelphia is in great and and perennial contenders"So you’ve changed your tune on his personality?

I think we are underrating the effect of indirect involvement in the death of 2 teammates/coaches and the weight it would hold on a young man like this. Just my personal opinion. I was in a horrific car wreck once and it took me years to get past it.I think it's more his unwillingness to even show up remotely in shape for the biggest job interview of his life, when there's already people talking about a possible slide.
