Skinsinparadise Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Finlay this morning: For MLB could be pursuing P. Brown, Bradham or Z. Brown. He thinks they are targeting guard in the draft and likely high, he suggested using their 2nd rounder. Paul Richardson (Cooley hit this point harder saying he knows this) was Jay's want at WR. They had no real interest in bringing Breeland back Edit: there goes Bradham Mike GarafoloVerified account @MikeGarafolo FollowingFollowing @MikeGarafolo More Eagles have re-signed LB Nigel Bradham, source says.

Cousins not worth 25 mil a year? Breeland washed up and done? Grant a scrub and waste of roster spot? The hits just keep on coming... Happy for Ryan Grant. Good for him... Cousins got 28 Mill per year GUARANTEED, Breeland stunk and got burned constantly and yes, Grant is a scrub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the C+ rating of the cousins contract. And bree, I explained to death a couple pages ago; not one person claimed that he's washed up and done. Yep but you're missing the $5M or $6M that needs to be allocated to rookies. It will be a 5th. Going into this offseason looking at potential comp picks, I never considered the possibility of Grant generating one. The guy finally produced. Im not, I just assumed we needed that as part of it. What I meant by $13 million left is we would literally have $13 million left. If you allocate $5 million to rookies etc, that leaves you with 8 million to spend on any other players. Without Wilkerson now that still leaves you with 16 million to bring in players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HigSkin Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Craig Hoffman on the Junkies this morning senses that DRC could be the signing today and maybe some other off the radar guys - possibly own team players. Also said if Murphy does go, they will likely be stronger after Junior (he wants more snaps they can't give him with Murphy there) and the market for LB is kind of setting up for resigning Brown (not getting that $10 mil).

Panninho Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Seriously amazing how the Eagles manage to retain basically everyone that is important and still land a couple of free agents even though they have no money to spend whatsoever. The will obviously have to cut somebody at some point but still, pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Re-signing Zach Brown doesn't impact our compensatory picks. If we were able to bring back Brown and one of Galette or Murphy and add DRC and a premier DL, I'd call it quits on FA. Your premier DL would cancel out the Grant comp pick, but whoever you lose in Murphy or Galette or Long might get you a 6th rounder to go with the 5th for Cousins. Go into the draft needing an RB and OG. Could be worse positions to be in given the depth of the draft at those spots. Unfortunately as other have pointed out, we don't necessarily have a pick in the "sweet spot" and a trade-down would be ideal, though I'm not sure who we'd dance with at this point. Getting into the 20's and adding a 3rd rounder would allow us to go G-RB or RB-G and have potential fits at both 1st and 2nd round picks ... and it would open the rest of the draft for loading up on the defense. CB, ILB, Edge (assuming we lose Galette and Murphy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd prefer to reduce our current cap by what needs to be allocated to rookies so that it doesn't appear we have more to spend than we actually do. Tomato tomato.

Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Sucks missing out on Bradham, was really starting to warm up to the idea of him playing alongside Foster. Complimentary players. I think Z Brown is a faster upgraded version of Foster but they bring the same skill set (suck in coverage). Sucks bc we just used a 2nd round resource to address this exact need but Ryan Anderson is a question mark after 1 year. Edit - I dont know how the Eagles are going to get under the cap. No idea. I dont know how they are going to re-sign Carson Wentz either. Eagles will have to cut Vinny Curry. Possibly Jason Peters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Seems like a lot of people are in here wanting to break the bank on someone elses discarded defensive lineman. Not a lot of respect for Matt Ioannidis in here. That guy was balling before he broke his hand last year. And played decently with a club on it. I dont think we are as bad off on the DL as some others I guess. Edit: As a side note. You guys should go spend some time on a Ravens message board this morning. The Ryan Grant threads are some of the funniest stuff I have read in a long time. Hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will basically save 5 or 6 million by cutting Curry and adding Bennett. Then they added Haloti Ngata. In the long run you are probably right but short-term I think they are doing a phenomenal job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we are as bad off on the DL as some others I guess. Not sure Ionidis is being disrespected. Just think adding a DL in FA would allow him to be rotated more. With our injuries last year, our DL depth was exposed and it's why teams wore us down late in games. Adding Poe or Logan would still keep Ionidis on the 1st line. Richardson would probably keep him in the 1st line rotation depending on sub packages and who could line up at the 0/1 Technique. I subscribe to the "can't have too many quality linemen" on both sides of the ball mindset. So if we can add a playmaker on the DL to pair with Allen and Ionidis it's a major upgrade.

I dont think we are as bad off on the DL as some others I guess. The problem in my eyes with the D-line is we have a bunch of depth but only 1 starter. While Ioannidis is serviceable he probably would not be a starter on a lot of other teams. Good depth yes but not a starter. Allen is a bonafide starter yes. But look at the rest. McGee? McClain? Lanier? Hood? Those guys are not starters. That is why people are salivating at a Poe, Logan, or Richardson. They are upgrades on that d-line no matter how you look at it. Our run defense was horrible. It has to be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I wish we would switch back to the 4-3 as our base D. Anyhow, so to all the cap junkies out there, after we sign ASmith and PRich and save 5 mil for the draft signings, what's our cap space look like for the rest of FA?

Well lot's of people want to go after Sheldon Richardson. Not lobbying against it or anything but Richardson is no DT as well. In our base, that would probably mean Ioannidis would become a backup.

I dont think we are as bad off on the DL as some others I guess. A lot of respect here for Ioannidis but not for the depth on D line especially in terms of guys who can stop the run. They were a train wreck (per usual) against the run once Allen was lost. There was a conversation here the other day about people whining about WR and maybe the FO doesn't see it our way. Well, it was clear the FO did see it our way, that was the position that the beat guys said their sources were telegraphing to them they want to upgrade the most. That was borne out yesterday. The 2nd position the beat guys are saying the FO wants to upgrade badly is the D line. I suspect that will be borne out, too. Heck Doug Williams flat out said upgrading D line is a major priority. Agree with you don't want to overpay. But if the FO has a help wanted billboard up, seems to be very WR and DL centric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately. He was just as bad in 2016. Consistently terrible play at the anchor of the DL will continue to ruin us in all facets of defense.
