OT: Philadelphia Eagles: 2019 Free Agency Edition

[The Madrigal]

And things get even more interesting for tonight with Jernigan back in the fold. I really believe the news about hollywood Brown and think Agholor is a goner.

I don't think really that releasing Sendejo would factor into the compensation pick formula (but I don't know much about it tbh) and I am shocked that nobody has picked up our lesser UFA guys..
At this point I could even see Ajayi come back on a 1 yr deal...

Teams are waiting for that deadline (last year it was May 8th) to sign most of the scrap heap players.

Ah nice link thank you.
I knew about the deadline but are you sure that signing and then just releasing will remove Sendejo from the chart?
Thats my issue. That would be a huge loophole that the NFLPA can not be happy with.

Just stock up on players and then release them a day before the deadline to receive the compensation and leave the players hanging.

I also wonder why Howie is not trading next years 6th rounder for a camp body of some team right now that won't gain any comp picks anyways with the implied condition of the deal that they sign Ajayi to a 1 yr deal...

Schefty saying we signed Timmy Jernigan to a one year deal

when healthy, he's very effective. No downside.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

LOLLLLL.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

This jug-eared host on NFL Network right now makes me want to pick him up over my head and skate around the rink with him.

 

[sa cyred]

Bring Timmy back was such a solid move. While he keeps getting hurt, when he was healthy he was REALLY good against the run. Great to backup Cox & Jackson

He is the exact opposite of charismatic

Yeah, it's definitely a loop hole. I think I read about it in a Jimmy Kempinski article. In that scenario they could just bring back Sendejo (if he wants) to the same contract after May 8th. I doubt there's a team in the NFL that would prefer him instead of a 4th round pick, just the nature of the biz. And how a $1.2M player cancels out a $9M player is a problem itself...

 

[The Madrigal]

Probably going to see the Eagles do some manipulatiom to get that 4th round pick back. I would imagine they will cut Sendejo right after camp and then bring him back week 2. I seriously doubt they are essentially going to trade a 4 for Sendejo.

He would have to be on the opening day roster. So they could just cut him after camp, then bring back for week two. They would get the 4th round comp pick back and end up with a 3rd and two 4ths.

Kempski did write about this and you're both correct. Technically cutting either Sendejo or Fort would be the same thing from a Compensatory standpoint, but I can't imagine it would be Fort.

I don't think there's an actual hard date where he has to be cut, but rather that he has to be with the team for 10 weeks. I'm not positive and can't flip through the CBA at the moment, though.

Antonio Brown makes a great case for a person living with CTE every day.

Reading thru the draft previews and I found out the other day there is a kid named Rock Ya-Sin in the draft. That is uhhh quite the name.

Did we get Patrick Peterson yet?

 

[Prongo]

Did we get Patrick Peterson yet?

No damnit. Maybe we use one of those second rounders tomorrow to get him!

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Not the first bombshell I expected today.

@Prongo You haven't said anything about the Clowney rumors. That's right up your alley! Not a fan?

Whoa whoa whoa. I keep it realistic my friend. That’s one I don’t see happening!

 

[Prongo]

The recording of tyreek hill and his fiancé I think might end his football career. Possibly.

 

[Jtown]

ok who does everyone want at 25?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

It it doesn't, I'm baffled. It's bad.

Trade up, take Kyle Murray
