2025 Philadelphia Eagles - We owe you one, Cleveland! (33 Viewers)

[travdogg]

Yea the Dillon signing is nothing but depth to me. He's not carrying the backfield if Saquon goes down. He's often injured and has declined in production every year. Does save us from having to draft a RB though. Use it on OL and DL lotto picks.

Mentioned it in the Dillon thread, but I can certainly see him at least getting a role as a 250-pound tush pusher.

Love the Uche pickup too.

 

[need2know]

What we're seeing is definitely a shift of the finite resources (money) that the cap brings. LB and RB were two roster positions we usually went light on to be able to pay more for guys at other positions. But we suddenly have 2 guys that (justifiably) require more money to be spent there, so we have to go cheaper at other spots using rookies or low-dollar flyers. The defense is mostly being affected, but TE is also likely to be where we get more frugal on the other side of the ball for awhile. We still have a loaded offense with the Oline and weapons, and a pretty good core on D.

If you push down on one side of a balloon, the other side goes up, but it's still the same amount of air in there.

And we've seen them get ahead of the cap by re-signing guys early, but I think we're also seeing an effort to get ahead of the cap by doing some of these cuts/trades now like CJGJ that don't really give us any benefit immediately, but will in future years when we have to start paying those younger guys currently on rookie deals. You can use the future cap increases to a degree, but if that's still not going to be enough you need to plan ahead. Wouldn't be surprised if we wind up taking a sizeable cap carryover from this season into next, too.

At some point either aj or devonta will be gone. Wonder which one they keep

I heard this a lot last offseason "Can't keep both guys" then both guys got big extensions the same offseason.

look i hope we keep them both for their whole careers and hope im wrong. but i dont think they will both be on our team in 2-3 years

Fair enough! I see some big contract moving on by the time those guys have to be paid again:

Lane
Saquon
Huff (lol)
Goedert

We shall see, but I'm gonna focus on 2025 for now haha.

I REALLY am warming up to the Josh Uche signing btw.

So, one of the things I’ve heard some beat reporters talk about this season is the difference between the cap and cash. I still don’t completely understand it at a granular level, but makes sense from a broad perspective. The cap is where Howie can work his magic, load dummy years, renegotiate contracts to give raises and manipulate the costs.

Cash is how much money the team actually has allocated from Lurie to spend on players. In that context, moves like trading CJGJ and Goedert make way more sense. Not really significant cap savings, but real cash savings on the year to meet the budget. This year, they’re focusing on saving cash- shedding contracts that have to actually be paid out this year.

I know that seems obvious, but I wasn’t even thinking about a real budget vs the cap. Especially with Lurie wanting more liquid capital lately, with the rumors of him selling off a minority stake in the team.

There are still more moves to come, probably not huge splashes like Saquon or a big-name EDGE, but some lotto pick FAs for depth.

Sheil Kapedia and EJ Smith talked about this on The Ring Philly Special. They said CJ trade was more of a cash budget move.

Most likely Smith hopefully. You can trade Brown and save cap next offseason If one is gone

In 2-3 years, you'd have to think AJ will be on the decline and Smith will be in his prime.

Corret, thats it. 6'1 240 so he's not a big big edge guy like Sweat, but He bet on himself last year, didn't want to leave the Pats, they started out crappy, the traded him, pretty much his market value tanked.

Sure seems like a No Risk/High Reward guy that at least is on here to push Bryce Huff.

Probably my favorite signing of the 3 so far due to need/price/original draft spot and at least 1 year of really good production (was PFF #8 pass rusher 2022)

Vic seems like the coach to get max out of players, so we shall see

And that’s where he’ll play here if he makes the team. Him, Jackson and the Dillon signings are kind of Howie’s MO. Cheap 1 year deals for guys looking to rebuild their value.

NFL Twitter getting spicy. Demarcus lawerence says Dallas is home but was never gonna win a SB there after signing with Seattle. Micah parsons calls DLaw saying this is what rejection looks like and DLaw snaps back if Micah with essentially you’re one of the reasons I left.

It’s beyond me why anyone wants that clown Parsons in Philly at this point

Then you have this which I found of the Lions Reddit page

As I've seen YGM be the common and desired pick for the Lions at 35, just wanted to remind people of an alleged incident back at penn state. None of this has been proven as far as I'm aware, and I'm not advocating for or against picking him, just wanted to get the information out and discuss.

"Former Penn State safety Isaiah Humphries alleges that he was subjected to bullying, hazing and harassment at the hands of teammates during his time with the Nittany Lions.

Humphries’ suit against Penn State, head coach James Franklin and current defensive tackle Damion Barber says that select players on the football team, including Barber, Micah Parsons, Jesse Luketa and Yetur Gross-Matos, served as ringleaders and participated in a hazing ritual in which key members of the team told underclassmen like Humphries things like, “I am going to Sandusky you.”

In the lawsuit, Humphries alleges that on multiple occasions members of the Penn State coaching staff saw the alleged harassment and hazing that took place in the Lasch Football Building. Allegations include players bullying, intimidating and taking clothes off the underclassmen and also placing their genitals on their face. Humphries says that the ringleaders wrestled other players to the ground and then pretended to hump them. He also says the ringleaders placed their penis on the buttocks of the underclassmen."

Kupp would be a good pickup for them. When healthy, he's still very good. Put him next to CD and Dak has some firepower again.

Miles Sanders signed with Cowgirls who are also pushing for cooper kupp. I guess this is what Dallas meant by more aggressive offseason. Signing washed up vets

Kupp would be a good pickup for them. When healthy, he's still very good. Put him next to CD and Dak has some firepower again.

Dude is never healthy anymore though.

NFL Twitter getting spicy. Demarcus lawerence says Dallas is home but was never gonna win a SB there after signing with Seattle. Micah parsons calls DLaw saying this is what rejection looks like and DLaw snaps back if Micah with essentially you’re one of the reasons I left.

It’s beyond me why anyone wants that clown Parsons in Philly at this point

Then you have this which I found of the Lions Reddit page

As I've seen YGM be the common and desired pick for the Lions at 35, just wanted to remind people of an alleged incident back at penn state. None of this has been proven as far as I'm aware, and I'm not advocating for or against picking him, just wanted to get the information out and discuss.

"Former Penn State safety Isaiah Humphries alleges that he was subjected to bullying, hazing and harassment at the hands of teammates during his time with the Nittany Lions.

Humphries’ suit against Penn State, head coach James Franklin and current defensive tackle Damion Barber says that select players on the football team, including Barber, Micah Parsons, Jesse Luketa and Yetur Gross-Matos, served as ringleaders and participated in a hazing ritual in which key members of the team told underclassmen like Humphries things like, “I am going to Sandusky you.”

In the lawsuit, Humphries alleges that on multiple occasions members of the Penn State coaching staff saw the alleged harassment and hazing that took place in the Lasch Football Building. Allegations include players bullying, intimidating and taking clothes off the underclassmen and also placing their genitals on their face. Humphries says that the ringleaders wrestled other players to the ground and then pretended to hump them. He also says the ringleaders placed their penis on the buttocks of the underclassmen."

If this is allowed in an Eagles thread, tell us more about the saints that have gone to Florida.

Reading comprehension doesn’t seem like you’re strong skill. Notice I mentioned how I said Eagles fans who wanted Parsons? Eagles related duh. There’s no need for anyone to gate keep in here. Can simple ignore or there’s an ignore feature that looks great.

Yep pretty nice get in the return game and some gadget play ability. When I first saw it I thought we signed Cordarrel Patterson

 

[DJackson10]

Wow. We signed Avery Williams!

Who?

Special teams return ace. Link in my post of us signing him explains more from Bleeding green

 

[Terpman22]

Wow. We signed Avery Williams!

Who?

Same thought.

KR/PR, averaged 27+ yards per Kick Return last year.

Bit of a swiss army knife, has also carried the ball as a runner and rushed the passer on defense.

This is a goodbye to Britain Covey though

 

[Deamon]

Lots of meh signings today. We do only have limited money though.

Really want to move up in the draft for some immediate impact players.

Not much they can do bro. Just happy they signed baun really. The rest you could see coming except for johnson. Who seemed like an *** and needed to go

 

[Deamon]

Well there goes Becton.

Surprised and disappointed by this one.

Lands on a 2 year deal with the Chargers to play Guard.

What in the actual ever-loving name of spambots is happening in this forum?

No terms announced, plus it was a Day 3 signing, both of which could mean it will be a possible low comp pick, like a 5 or 6.

 

[Insein]

2 years, $20m for Becton. We couldn't pay that? I know we're trying to save money but that seemed reasonable.

That's probably going to be a 5th, which brings our projected comp picks in 2026 to a 3rd, 4th, 5th, & 6th.

What we're seeing is definitely a shift of the finite resources (money) that the cap brings. LB and RB were two roster positions we usually went light on to be able to pay more for guys at other positions. But we suddenly have 2 guys that (justifiably) require more money to be spent there, so we have to go cheaper at other spots using rookies or low-dollar flyers. The defense is mostly being affected, but TE is also likely to be where we get more frugal on the other side of the ball for awhile. We still have a loaded offense with the Oline and weapons, and a pretty good core on D.

If you push down on one side of a balloon, the other side goes up, but it's still the same amount of air in there.

And we've seen them get ahead of the cap by re-signing guys early, but I think we're also seeing an effort to get ahead of the cap by doing some of these cuts/trades now like CJGJ that don't really give us any benefit immediately, but will in future years when we have to start paying those younger guys currently on rookie deals. You can use the future cap increases to a degree, but if that's still not going to be enough you need to plan ahead. Wouldn't be surprised if we wind up taking a sizeable cap carryover from this season into next, too.

At some point either aj or devonta will be gone. Wonder which one they keep

I heard this a lot last offseason "Can't keep both guys" then both guys got big extensions the same offseason.

look i hope we keep them both for their whole careers and hope im wrong. but i dont think they will both be on our team in 2-3 years

Fair enough! I see some big contract moving on by the time those guys have to be paid again:

Lane
Saquon
Huff (lol)
Goedert

We shall see, but I'm gonna focus on 2025 for now haha.

I REALLY am warming up to the Josh Uche signing btw.

Help me love the Josh Uche signing. I am not feeling it.

Its less than $2m?

And it has 4 void years.
