What's wrong with stop gaps when you have 10 picks you can use to develop his replacement in 2 years?

Hargraves contract is structured more like a two year deal. 5 million cap hit for 2020.
Eagles still have around 35 or so million in cap space. Plenty to make moves still. If they are going to make some...

I think Howie accepts he needs to take one step back this season and load up the roster with young talent they can develop. If they get lucky, they make a second half run, if not, he'll have a better idea of what he needs for the 2021 season.
As long as you have Wentz, rebuilds are one season.

i got the feeling this team is going to go backwards, i mean alshon will probably be gone, jackson he might not be the same player, that's going to hurt the passing game unless we trade up to take a receiver in the draft. i dont know about our running attack if sanders will the play he was last year, if not it will be all on ertz which i dont know how well he's going to play either since he got injuried, if howie doesnt get a wr and sanders struggles, the offense is going to be bad.
right now our secondary is bad, our dline is full of dts and not defensive ends, we cant get a pass rush at all, if we dont sign an end and a corner, the defense is going to get smoked. howie's plan to rebuild this team after signing wentz to a big deal, big mistake. the rebuild should have happened after they traded up to get wentz, going for now is going to blow up in howie's face.
not to menion having on offensive coordinator either, it's total mess right now.

This team isn't going to rebuild as on a five year plan, instead, they've got the core in place on the lines, and the rebuild will be only the secondary and WR core, so at worst you're talking two years, one year to add a bunch of young guys and see who works, the second year to fix what didn't work the first year. If it jells this season, they'll be a holy terror the second half.
They're set at QB, RB, TE, OL, DL.

Like Montana to the Chiefs. At least he's smart moving to a tax free state

can't say I agree on this one.
TE sure. RB who cares, not an investment position.
Our DEs didn't do much last year. We have no viable backup QB, or project (I think sudfeld sucks personally). OL is also built on a foundation of glass. 3 guys who are great (but old), LG who is mediocre, and enigma at LT.
Can't say I feel stellar about it.

Probably up to Gisele, she's the breadwinner in that family!
I'd think she'd prefer NY or LA, so for her, Boston v TB is a meh decision, except TB is closer to Miami if they want to hobnob.

Sooo. The more I think about the eagles moves this off season the more I think they are going to really gear up for next years free agency. My belief is they will be a leading team tying to sign Jalen Ramsey. Which is why we didn’t see them commit major dollars to Jones. Remember Ramsey specifically asked in the trade to LA that he wanted to be not tagged. The eagles were asked before the trade was finalized if they could beat their offer.
Schefter said the eagles did talk to Houston about Hopkins but the cost to acquire and pay him was too much (if true Howie can suck some major d) but I’m not privy to the ask from us that BOB was demanding.
at least that’s my hope. Ramsey is and will always be my target. I am hoping the Rams fall apart again and he is a possibility at the deadline.

The Howie special. Say you’re interested in everyone but never pull the trigger.

One thing is I wonder what they were asking from us? Because there is no reason not to trade for him and extend him. That’s kinda Howies MO usually.

Eagles also lack cap room, have a $10M jump with Cox next year, they have to clear out a lot of dead money - Howie knew what he was doing, he tried to keep the window open for two years, Jeffries drops a pass in NO and Wentz gets knocked out by a dirty hit.
Now it's time to pay the piper, tear down the team, clear out most of the older veterans, get the cap under control and build a base of young talent. It'll take a couple years to get most of the dead money off the books.

I completely disagree. If you are giving up the draft picks or whatever you used to make a deal, extend the player so they remain with your organization. This feels like the wrong way to build a team? Using assets to acquire and then the player remaining unhappy?
