OT: Philadelphia Eagles: 2019 Free Agency Edition

[JojoTheWhale]

Kwon Alexander is a player I would go for. 24 coming off a torn ACL but was a dominate linebacker when he was in the lineup. Still has plenty of football left.

Sounds like he's getting paid as if healthy. Has offers above 10 and is asking for 11-12. He's good, but they can't afford him.

 

[YEM]

If DeSean is back I might watch a regular season game next year.

no thanks on DJax
we don't need him barking at Carson when we win a game with 15 targets for Ertz and 3 for him

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Good penetrator and doesn't count against the comp pick formula. Classic Howie pickup if they finish it.

 

[Prongo]

I mentioned him to a few coworkers as a sneaky good pick up.

Allows us to draft a DT and groom them instead of making them the starter immediately.

Also, eagles in on CJ Mosley. I just want a good linebacker on this team lol.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Uhhhhh. That's all?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

There's your splurge.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Ok, that makes a LOT more sense.

Still like it, but that's your splurge. Strongly prefer paying that guy and position over Mosley, who isn't even clearly better than Hicks but might double him in guarantees.

I dont mind it, but i still think we need a running back, we cant go with this stupid committee shit without a #1 guy

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Either get Tevin or draft one. Bell shouldn’t be an option.

Except for that time they won the super bowl doing it.

RB by committee is fine as long as the committee is good.

Thats my point, this committee is not good, we had 2 good running backs that year

 

[The Madrigal]

Getting Jackson is a great move. He's an upgrade to Jernigan and will cost about 3 million less on the cap. He and Cox will be ridiculous together rushing the passer. Eagles probably have the flexibility to add two more impact players, or one of they were to go all in on someone like Bell. No chance they are paying Agholor 9 million so he will likely be signed long term or traded soon to free up some more cap space.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

Great signing. Cheaper + better than Jernigan.

 

[The Madrigal]

They really need to upgrade the RB situation in a major way. I'm thinking Tevin Coleman in free agency AND a RB in the 2nd round of the draft.

 

[Chinatown88]

Holy shit

Him and David Montgomery would be a great one-two punch.

 

[Les Averman]

Great signing. More than I expected we'd pay in FA but won't affect the comp picks for next year and he was probably the best DT on the market. Makes our line a whole lot better from day 1.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

Holy ****

Is Tom Cable still their OL coach? Because if so that's just a big waste of money.

@Hollywood Couturier

Can't wait to see him leave 11 games this season as opposed to his 10 last year.

 

[The Madrigal]

They didn't really have much of a choice. Peters at 70% is still considerably better than Vaitai. This gives them another year to develop/see what they have in Mailata and in the process they are saving some cap room with signing Peters as opposed to picking up his 13 million option.

You know, I've thought about this a lot...

Why not go with a committee? Committees win SBs a good amount. Star RBs usually don't.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

@Hollywood Couturier

Depends on the price I suppose.

 

[Prongo]

5.25 guaranteed and up to 10 million.

Also mortenson saying Djax and the Eagles are destined to be reunited.

Also no chance for Bell. And CJ Mosley still a target.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Either get Tevin or draft one. Bell shouldn’t be an option.

Yep, or Duke Johnson (would probably cost 127). I still think there's a chance Ajayi has to take a 1 year prove it. That would make sense too, but not much overlap with Ajayi and the other two. Different roster spots.

*Edit* Spencer Ware could be in the 1 year boat too.
