Alshon is definitely a risk, but he's a stud when he's on the field. After the Algholor disaster I can see them being weary of drafting a WR early.

And salary cap be dammed, we can't go into 2017 with that group of WRs. Can't stomach watching all those drops week after week after week.

He's can be a stud when he actually tries. I don't know if DH agree with this but my Cousin's in laws are from Chicago and Chicago hasn't bee keen on Jeffrey's lets just say weren't happy with his work ethic or lack there of. THere's rumors he's been milking injuries because he wasn't getting his way in Chicago. I don't like that type of personality with the younger WRs not the type of role model I want my WRs learning from. Despite that I'd have rather overpaid to get DeSean back not just for biased reasons but because I know what we'd have in him in terms of a person. This Jeffrey thing could blow p in their face

 
I assume another cut happened, because how can they fit his 14 and Smith's 5 (assuming averagae 3/15) under the cap?

Yeah, how does a bidding war for an UFA result in a 1-year deal? Something doesn't smell right here. What if he has an amazing season and the gamble worked? Now you have to re-bid??? Head scratcher.

I'm betting on a lot of incentives in other deals.  He basically takes the franchise tag to play with a better team and bets on himself.

Even if people were undecided on Jeffery, this should clear up any issues.  No long term money and we still have him.

1 year deal makes sense for Eagles/Alshon. He can prove he's worth 15-20 million if he stays healthy, off the PEDs.

 
Rapoport:

Alshon Jeffery turned down a multi-year deal with more security from Vikings, but he is betting himself long term with the Eagles and Wentz

I like it a deal I predicted earlier. BTW your SN looks familiar did you use to go to a baseball board too? A friend of mine use to read a message board with a guy in your SN?

Possibly.  I've used this name on a bunch of boards for years.  Don't visit any baseball boards regularly anymore.

I'm liking this ... Hopefully betting on himself will result in a large increase in work ethic and reduction in injuries.  Great moves by Howie with something to prove.

That's the great thing about  a 1 year prove-it deal.

He'll be motivated.

Sounds like the perfect scenario, love our day 1 of FA (so far). We need at least a vet CB and then hit CB hard in the draft still. 

 
With both signed WRs basically 1 year deals, think we might still draft a WR in the first 3-4 rounds in case the FAs don't pan out?

 
I'll throw it out there now: do you go best available RB with #14?

ETA: CB would be nice here as well, depending on how it shakes out.

I'm more excited about warmack.  But Jeffery too.  Was not expecting this

Even as a Titans fan, I'm sad that the state of your OL leaves excited for Warmack. Obviously, there is a chance he gets his head out of his behind and actually start playing up to his draft potential, but I'd not put money on it

 
Insein said:
I think so too. Would like to see JMatt moved now.

No, not with both these deals being 1-year, basically. It gives them a year to see which, if any, they want to extend. If Alshon gets popped foe PEDs and Smith lost a step, you're left with nothing if you traded J-Matt.

He's not the answer long term though. If those 2 don't turn out, and we want to extend jmatt to be our wr1 long term, we're in trouble

JMatt is never going to be a 1, but can be a solid slot guy to complement your outside guys. If he wants to get paid like a 1, then you let him walk.

i live in Chicago. Jeffrey is no more or less motivated than any other established. the disarray from ownership, through the front office and coaches is close to epic. he wants to compete and that wasn't going to happen in Chicago. it didn't happen in 2016 or 2015. he's going to be great for Iggles fans.

 
Not sure mixon is there for us at our round 3 pick.  Would like to us trade up in the third for him or down in the 2nd. 

Love that we don't need to go wr now. 

Cb, mixon (trade down and pick up an extra 3rd), then 2 of cb/oline/rb with our round 3 picks

So alshon. Torrey. Jordam mathews. Dgb. Agholor.

Ya. Can we say above average wr corps now?  

Would like to see dgb and aghalor around for another year to see what can happen. The problem is they wont get a lot of volume now. 

We pretty much have all 5 of the above wrs on 1yr prove-it years.

And young cbs need some time to develop and make an impact. We're gonna be in a ton of high scoring games next year.

Depends on how they feel about MIlls too.  If he can be a solid starter that surely helps.  Either way, the pick at 14 is now open to a few directions.  DL, CB, RB even OL if we move on from Peters and Kelce or plan to. 

 
Fixing the WR's was gigantic. Per year Smith and Jeffery make a total of 19 millon.  Desean was at like 12 (20 guaranteed), Britt 8, Woods 8 (15 million guaranteed), Stills 8 (20 guaranteed).  I don't think a single one of us takes a Desean and whoever combo, at those prices, over what we got.
