OT: Philadelphia Eagles: 2019 Free Agency Edition

[BrindamoursNose]

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.

I'm okay with 5.25 mill I guess. Has to be contingent on how much he actually plays, I hope.

I'm good with D-Jax. Not as fast as he used to be, but that outside speed changes our offensive outlook. Torrey Smith wasn't great, but his impact was notable for opening up the field.

Bell was a pipedream I suppose. I'm fine with it.

Holy ****

Win championships in New England, get paid elsewhere.

Can't wait for all of the Chip Kelly hot takes to come when Jackson comes back. Eagles would have easily won 14 Super Bowls in last couple years if they kept McCoy and Jackson.

Don't @ Me.

That mccoy trade was disastrous from jump street, kiko alonzo was never that good, that trade really hurt us

Sir, please stop, sir.

I kindly asked people to not @ me.

Mosley wants 16 too.

This is why Howie always tries to get to market first. There's just too much cap space around the league.

Either Hicks is getting an absurd deal or someone is getting one hell of a relative value.

2017: Steelers are AFC championship game contenders for about 5-7 years now with the one of the best RBs in the NFL and one of the best WRs in the league leading the offense

Fall 2018/19 season: Bell holds out

Winter 2018/19 season: Bell has now held out through ~15 weeks, publicly declaring his intentions to not return to the team. Brown throws a Gatorade cooler because he's pissed at his coach and quarterback

Smmer 2019: mini camps open and a mediocre at best Steeler team with an over the hill quarterback at the helm and both Brown and Bell off the team

Suck it

You forgot to include that Mike Tomlin is still the coach, LOL.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Only need ~13-14 to get a 3rd. Excellent.

Good for him.

At some point the Eagles are just going to have to put a lot of resources into getting a real LT. It's not a position you can just hope to get lucky on.

They've been really lucky in that they've had just two LTs in 20 years, and only three RTs over that time. But they had to use two first rounders and a lot of cash to have that.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

This is why developing guys you can sign to 2nd deals is so important. Someone's just going to blow the market up no matter how clogged it looks.

One less team to hopefully go Safety in the top 60. I hope they grab one of the 6 or 7 really good ones.

 

[baudib1]

WOW!

 

[YEM]

Landon Collins was not very good last year
That signing reminds me of the early Snyder era where they specialized in overpaying over-the-hill former stars

To be fair if you're going to have pro bowl tackles at both spots for 20 years it's generally going to cost 1st round picks and a lot of money.

yeah that's what I'm saying. It's not going to get solved by drafting a guy from Australia and hoping he can replace a Hall of Famer in three yearas.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

If Washington was going to go that hard for Collins, why the hell didn't they just offer the Giants a pick to tag and trade him? They were getting at least 3 comp picks, but they just blew one up and let him hit the market in the meantime. Plus the Giants are in on Preston Smith and others that go against their comps.

This is the kind of incompetence in the margins that slowly sinks you long-term. Love having both in the division.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I can't handle how stupid the Redskins are

And I love it

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

God bless Dan Snyder, keep trying the same shit that hasn’t worked for 20 some years now.

Chip will forever be a ***** to me. Its one thing to cut a guy you dont like and dont see a future for...
But to Cut a man sight unseen then on his way out throw dirt on his name implicating him as a criminal.
Only to have that bastion of fairplay, the LAPD, come out publicly saying your lying.

Forever a *****.

f*** Chip Kelly forever.

Or thanks, for making me stop caring about the Eagles that much.

Happy for Foles, don’t get me wrong, but who the hell were the Jags bidding against to give him 4/88 and 50(!!) in guarantees?

 

[Chinatown88]

Bless you St. Nick. I will forever be thankful for that magical run. Loved it when Andy Reid took him in the 3rd round. The man has finally gotten his huge payday and he fully deserves it.

The QB market is crazy. Teams just throw money at it with zero regard. It’s why I laugh at people who criticize Murray for ditching baseball.
