Have to think he’s going to get a huge deal and we can’t go there.Any chance we try for Landon Collins?
Yeah I know but it would be niceHave to think he’s going to get a huge deal and we can’t go there.
#Eagles, continuing their busy off-season, have restructured Lane Johnson's contract for cap purposes, source said.
That mock is terrible. Not one cb or safety? CrazySo Case Keenum is back in the conference.
Eagles open to trading Bennett
Jay Glazer believes Eagles will have interest in LeVeon Bell but most teams won't be interested in giving him the type of money he wants
Carson Wentz was at my Mom's work today visiting Patients at CHOP
Mike Kaye's 7 round Eagles Mock:
1st Round (25th overall): N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State
2nd Round (53rd overall, via Ravens): David Montgomery, RB, Iowa State
2nd Round (57th overall): Dre’Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State
4th Round (127th overall): Joe Jackson, DE, Miami
4th Round (138th overall, compensatory pick): Bobby Evans, OT, Oklahoma
5th Round (163rd overall): Ben Burr-Kirven, LB, Washington
6th Round (197th overall): Olamide Zaccheaus, WR, Virginia
Javon Patterson, G/C, Mississippi
Should Eagles trade for Jordan Howard
I actually be pretty upset if they picked another CB at allThat mock is terrible. Not one cb or safety? Crazy
I’m curious what we got from NE for our best pass rusher. Not really a fan of this move.Just heard the Eagles traded Bennett to the Patriots.
Bennett was due to make $7.2 million. Does that change your mind?We give up a 2020 7th and Bennett for a 2020 5th
Not a fan of this one.

Not really.Bennett was due to make $7.2 million. Does that change your mind?
I know. It would be nice to at least have one starter out of all those picks though.There's not much of a difference in the hit rate of a 5th rounder vs. a 7th rounder
I don’t like it either. Bennett was damn good last year and he’s more versatile than Long. Do you think any of this has to do with legal issues hanging over his head?I know. It would be nice to at least have one starter out of all those picks though.
I think it was just them essentially cutting him and getting back a $5 scratch off and crossing their fingers.I don’t like it either. Bennett was damn good last year and he’s more versatile than Long. Do you think any of this has to do with legal issues hanging over his head?
Bennet also said he wanted a pay raise and wouldn't take another payout. They just resigned Graham and have Barnett coming back.minute he said he wanted a raise and wouldn't take a payout he signed his own ticket outNot really.
Graham, Long (guess this means he’s staying?) and Barnett all underachieved last year. The 4th DE would be Sweat who didn’t look good at all when he played. Bennett looked good, seemed like a good scheme fit and didn’t cause any issues. It is what it is but I wish they could have found a way to keep him another year.
Also Here’s Howie’s history of 5th round picks since being GM:
2010- Rickey Sapp & Riley Cooper
2011- Dion Lewis & Julian Vandervelde
2012- Dennis Kelly
2013- Earl Wolff
2014- Taylor Hart & Ed Reynolds
2015- None
2016- Wendell Smallwood & Big V
2017- Shelton Gibson & Nate Gerry
2018- None
Maybe he’s due? Or maybe we just got a meaningless pick. I know some of these were Chip years too or there was a question of who made the picks him or Reid. Even if you pick the best 3 of this group it’s bad.
He was gone before this comments because of his cap number.Bennet also said he wanted a pay raise and wouldn't take another payout. They just resigned Graham and have Barnett coming back.minute he said he wanted a raise and wouldn't take a payout he signed his own ticket out
Ya Long should be back for sure which is nice. Can see them drafting another DE early in the draft this year too. We were really deep at the position and that wasn't sustainable forever. Still think we have one of the better lines in the league with BG, a more experienced Barnett, and maybe a highly touted rookie. I think Josh Sweat is going to have a bigger year this year too.Bennett and a 7th in 2020 for NE's 5th in 2020.
Obviously getting something in a trade is better than cutting him. Also Barnett is coming back. With Bennett and Jernigan gone, I think it is likely that the Eagles think Chris Long is going to play next year. I wouldn't be surprised if they signed a cheaper DT in free agency.
Soooo... anyone else just get that sleeperbot update?
Sounds like we’re being used to drum up some interest. Hard to believe we’d have him in our locker room at what he wants to make.never really gave AB much thought and I'm not sure that it is the best use of cap resources, but i guess if the price gets low enough, you have to think about it.
Fake news...lolSounds like we’re being used to drum up some interest. Hard to believe we’d have him in our locker room at what he wants to make.
I want Coleman honestly because he's a nice Complimentary back. He's no workhorse but he's exactly what we need. Always been a big Coleman fan. He's also pretty explosive.Talk of us going after Coleman too. I'd definitely be interested at the right price, but think I'd rather Duke. Don't think both is really an option, unless we do a full overhaul of our RBs... but I think Adams/Duke would be a nice combo. Looks like we're going after the FA RB market fairly hard and might once again pass on drafting one early. Which I think I'm okay with.
The stuff Ryan Clarke said about him just pokes out like a sore Thumb. Everything he said about Brown and how the Steelers locker room is sounded exactly how the Eagles have their locker room. A guy like AB is not welcomed. You also have to take into account how he quit on the Steelers in the biggest game of the year last year.Sounds like we’re being used to drum up some interest. Hard to believe we’d have him in our locker room at what he wants to make.
There's zero rationale for selecting a RB in the first round unless he's a generational talent on the order of Gurley, Zeke, Barkley - and I'm not exactly alone in saying I don't see one like that in this class. Get the best defensive player available at 25 and patch the RB hole through FA where the value for the money is much higher.Talk of us going after Coleman too.

At 3/30, I think they'd have been better off just keeping Bennett there.3/30 and it's a fantastic signing
Jackson is about 4 years younger and probably just as talented.At 3/30, I think they'd have been better off just keeping Bennett there.
He's also making almost 4 million a year more than Bennett did, and isn't as versatile. Jackson wasn't a bad signing, I just really don't understand why they traded Bennett.Jackson is about 4 years younger and probably just as talented.
He can play DT and Edge, seems pretty versatile to me.He's also making almost 4 million a year more than Bennett did, and isn't as versatile. Jackson wasn't a bad signing, I just really don't understand why they traded Bennett.
For real, 5 minutes later I get the notification from the Eagles!Have to think Peters is staying, at this point. With FA essentially started, they would be doing him a disservice by waiting until Wednesday to not pick up his option and have to sit out the next couple of days as teams are looking to fill needs. If they were moving on from him, they wouldn't add that piece to it and disrespect him.
And with other re-structures already done prior to the start today, it probably means he's coming back at the number in the option.
I’m good with the lower number. He’s declining but it allows time for Mailata to develop and learn from a HOF player and saves money in the process.For real, 5 minutes later I get the notification from the Eagles!
ETA: Since this was announced like a signing, not an option pick-up, have to assume there was a new (lower) number involved.
Looks like his guarantee is cut in half ($5.5m) , but he can earn back the full number (~$10 million) by playing a full, healthy season.I’m good with the lower number. He’s declining but it allows time for Mailata to develop and learn from a HOF player and saves money in the process.
I think the AB contract hurts us. DJax might be able to get 10-12 million for a couple years, in one last big contract based on what AB just got and the relative lack of available WR's. Can't see the Eagles spending that on a 33 yo.Just got an alert that DJax is being released.
Funny, I feel like we happen to be in the market for a speed guy...
