After seeing and hearing about Smith last season you are doing nothing but hoping he can be active let alone fill in for 2 guys who gave us 12 sacks last season.
Have to agree here. Shady might try to block the deal by demanding a new contract. (Even though he just signed one.) Then Buffalo pulls out, and what are we left with? A disgruntled player who we probably end up cutting.
I think from a calculative stand point Chip is going to use the cap room to fill those needs then do whatever it take to get up to one or two to get Mariota. Which I don't think would be smart. Just a thought though, i hope this isn't the case.
Yeah, no sure who released this information but there is still a ton of time for this to become offical. But maybe there is something in place that Buffalo can't renigh.
I agree but to a point. He always had the final say and we had money and needs last year but we went with "culture" guys. Jenkins instead of Byrd type of moves. As much as I would LOVE to have a guy like Suh I dont think Chip would spend the money for him even if we had it and needed the position. I think we're going to fill those spots but Im thinking its with smart, high character guys who were captains on their teams etc.
That's when you sit him down and tel him he can either go to Buffalo and collect 10 Mil or be on the Eagles roster until the last minute before final cutdowns and sign for pennies on the dollar.
Yeah, I don't get how anyone can argue against the theoretical logic of this deal. Only problem is if Alonso is really hampered by the injury, but I'm not sure that is particularly likely with ACL treatments these days. Get the 2013 near-DPOY on a cheap contract for a guy that there was a good chance would be cut.Deamon said:
He had 1 more reception and a lower drop percentage than McCoy last year (in 3 fewer games). He'd fit just fine.
I don't see it either, but I guess the argument would be that they will try to re-build the defense via trade/FA and not have to do that in the draft.Deamon said:Not sure where this leap comes in. If anything, the Eagles just used one bargaining chip in McCoy and it looks liek Kelly realizes that the defense has to be totally rebuilt.
1. He freed up a ton of room to sign defensive players in FA. Defensive players that he won't need to draft, so losing picks will be far less of a big deal.Deamon said:
McCoy was not a valuable chip because of the price. This seems pretty obvious that he's not use ng picks to fix the defense. He's buying one because they'll be few pics left.Deamon said:
1. So if he uses up the cap to fix the defense and trades away picks where does he get the players to replace the RB/Wr/OL depth needed?1. He freed up a ton of room to sign defensive players in FA.

3. He made a huge splash and showed he will build the team he wants and doesn't care about anything else. If MM is the guy he likes, MM is the guy he is going to get.
Im not sure how I feel about Ingram but Im not sure why there is such an infatuation with Spiller. He'll be a 28 year old RB, who has underachieved and is injury proneDeamon said:

The sad thing is we have a show host with such a hard-on for Mariotta that he gives an ounce of credibility to these people by reading their email on the air. Whatever disclaimer Missenelli gave first doesn't matter. He still gets off on the idea that the more he spouts it, the more true it becomes.amazing.

Of course the logical thing to do with that would be to drop your pants and give yourself a good wipe.The only thing he said before reading it was, "now what am I supposed to do with this" and read it anyway. Sports talk radio at its finest!
great detail.
I'd do it if the 2017 picks weren't included.Here's one to get your heads spinning and some of ya's lined up on a local bridge....

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Cobb supposedly turned down something in the $8-9m/yr range from the Packers, considering Cooper got $5m/yr roughly I think your figure's a bit low. I think the Packer's offer is probably a realistic price for Cobb. His career is quite similar to Maclin's though a little shorter. Couple of average years, an injury then a breakout season in a contract year.Billy Bats said:

What's the point to say he's from Oregon if other than to associate him with Chip Kelly's University of Oregon, in this Philly thread? Do you just drop into random threads, bring up random players and say what state they were born in? You're a lot of fun at parties I bet.
sorry thread cop, carry on
Ya I think it was pretty clearly a jestful joke, and joking that because Suh was even from the same state, maybe Chip would be after him. Not sure how you didn't catch that.
1. To replace the depth needed at those positions he can also get in FA, or with the other draft picks. Likely we would need to give up our 1st + 2nd this year along with picks next year. Our 1st + 2nd this year could very well be spent on DB's, which we can get in FA instead. We likely will still have 4th, 5th, 6th, even 3rd rounders this year to draft. The comparison was something like: Maxwell+Mccourty+Mariota instead of Rookie CB+Rookie S+Foles.1. So if he uses up the cap to fix the defense and trades away picks where does he get the players to replace the RB/Wr/OL depth needed?1. He freed up a ton of room to sign defensive players in FA. Defensive players that he won't need to draft, so losing picks will be far less of a big deal.Deamon said:

3. He made a huge splash and showed he will build the team he wants and doesn't care about anything else. If MM is the guy he likes, MM is the guy he is going to get.
2. He can stay at 20 (or possibly trade down a little) and get a Duck (Arick Armstead)
3. True. He will build the team he wants. He doesn't care about what the media says, including the media-driven Mariota frenzy.
