*PHILADELPHIA EAGLES* Official 20-21 Regular Season Thread: WEEK 1 EAGLES vs Football Team 1pm ET

[IATT]

CJ616 (taking the convo here since i doubt everyone wants to read all this in the SB thread) i think the big v/wiz combo has shown enough that we can move on from peters..

we can free up 8 mill if we release him after june 1st.. and we kinda need the money..

celek is definitely gone (which clears 4 mill).. and torrey smith too (5 mill).. could see warmack too (just over 1 mill).. maybe maragos (1.5 mill).. smallwood (500 grand)



i think resigning bradham and trey would be huge, plus needing to extend graham.. and not sure we can afford to cut kelce and/or kendricks.. and vinny has been huge for us and we all know the impact that line rotation had

i could see us cutting mcleod (frees up 6 mill)

 

[CJ616]

It would suck to cut JP (Dude should retire an Eagle), but I definitely can see the benefit in that 8 milly They'd have to be very confident in Big V moving forward. Howie gonna work that magic though. It's undeniable at this point.

No way I wanna see Maragos gone he's super important to our special teams. I'm really hoping we sign both Bradham and Trey, ESPECIALLY Trey if Celek is gone. Dude is a ******* beast when he gets his snaps.

 

[IATT]

i'm not sure if it's funny or sad that i could see us cutting mcleod before kendricks AND especially kelce

i mean i'm hoping we can get vinny to restructure, he has a 11 mill cap hit.. but at the very least he should have solid trade value with his level of play

also trading (hopefully) nick frees up 5.4 mill

i mean.. go check our contracts.. i mean he wouldnt be first of the group, but he is kinda expendable with kamu playing so well on special teams plus think think nate gerry fights his way to couple defensive snaps and obviously playing a ton of special teams

 

[IATT]

so let's say,

release/trade peters after june 1st, gives us 8 mill (strong possibility he retires depending on how SB goes)
release/trade mcleod after june 1st, gives us 6 mill
release torry, gives us 5 mill
release celek, gives us 4 mill
trade nick after june 1st, free up 4 mill
release/trade maragos after june 1st, frees up 1.75 mill
cut warmack, frees up 1.1 mill (if we can trade then that's 1.6, which i doubt)

donnie jones is another sneaky one, we can free up 1.75 after june 1st.. and the coaches like the punter we signed again to a future deal for training camp

smallwood and pumphrey combined can free up slightly over a mill.. we know ajayi and clement are locks for the team and i could see us snatching another RB in the draft because of the depth at that position in the draft





i'm not sure who we can legitimately ask to restructure.. vinny might legit get that money on the open market.. ditto kendricks and kelce

but if we make the above moves, that should allow us to extend graham AND then resign bradham and trey.. plus we should have extra cap space, which we'll need to carry over for the following offseason and inflate the cap

Where did you find this one at?

Any stores only that are selling that hat?

Hey guys, I got it at the Richard's in Collegeville Tuesday night. I live in Phoenixville and work in Lansdale. On my way home, I stopped in and they had about 25 of the Champions hats and about the same of the Super Bowl LII hats. Grabbed a hat and left.

Rally House in Providence Center where Richard's is also had the hats. About 70 or so from what it looked like from outside the store (it was just about 9 pm and they were closing so I didn't go in). I love this hat. The material is like a rubber or nylon. Won't get as dirty as a cloth material in white.

 

[05fordgt]

Peters says he wants to play again. Sproles says he can't go out the way he did (two serious injuries on one play) Heck, he's already sprinting in the bubble at NovaCare.

I can't see them cutting Maragos. He's too valuable for special teams. Problem with Trey, he's going to get GOOD MONEY offers from teams who need a starting TE. We just may not be able to keep him. But with Celek going (most likely retiring) we may be able to make it work.

Bradham is a BIG key, as we don't know how Hicks will be when he gets back (achilles tear injuries are tough). Definitely gotta lock up Graham somehow. I can see Curry restructuring. He got a decent chunk of his guaranteed money so far.

Donnie Jones is more important than you realize. If it doesn't cost much, relatively speaking, keep him. I don't see them releasing Pumphrey. He's a higher round pick and they want to see if he can bulk up a little to help with staying injury free. Smallwood, he's probably gone.

Nick? Not sure. He may stay and may take a restructuring. I now Sudfeld is the future backup, but not yet. Plus, I think we are still paying Daniel money (which comes off this finishing season). Howie has some work to do, but he's EXTREMELY GOOD at this. He'll make it work.

^ i wish it were that easy.. but our cap is currently screwed.. or at least screwed for us

before the season we were looking at: foles, kelce, kendricks, vinny, celek and torrey to free up money.. things have changed

it would be nice to have the gang all back together.. but that's not realistic

look at our RBs, we have ajayi and clement on rookie deals we know those 2 are locks.. if pumphrey shows he can handle the return role, he might be the 3rd guy.. but we might be able to find a more talented player in the 4th or later of this draft with the talent at that position

i dont see a way sproles and smallwood are back (sproles is a free agent).. i highly doubt blount is back.. and i think they try to find a replacement for barner (which could be pumphrey)

i dont see us carrying more than 4 RBs

nick is gone because we should be able to get a draft pick in return, which we need since we dont have our 2nd, 3rd and 1 of our 4ths (we still have 2 other 4ths).. we have 6 draft picks, our 1st, two 4ths, two 5ths and a 6th

and donnie jones is about to be 38, on top of being expensive

the guy we had in camp last year and resigned to a future contract for at least through preseason:

Burton can def get heavy snaps elsewhere

 

[amitt5504]

******** fans want Burton badly since their other UF TE always hurt lol

I can see us moving on from Peters if we win it all. A ring cements his HOF status and the same goes for Sproles

Would rather not cut Rod but if push comes to shove then yea, we'd just need another S in the draft lol would rather not move on so fast from the position it took damn near 10 years to fix

“Dominate. It ain’t even gotta be close.”

Malcolm Jenkin’s biggest asset to this team is his leadership. Obviously he makes plays on the field all game but he treats these dudes like his brothers and his goal is to lead them

What brand is that. I’m down in Miami but I need one of those

I think there is a strong chance we go safety in the 1st with big V and wiz playing so well on the left side

Safety or LB.. especially if Derwin James starts dropping.. or we could move back and pickup Texas safety

But I think we move mills to S to get our best DBs on the field.. plus McLeod having lapses and not living up to that deal this season

 

[IATT]

This legit might be the dumbest thing this dude has ever said.. I mean I can't believe he gets paid to talk football.. but how he was in charge of an NFL team I'll never f'n know




I mean I knew we signed foles to a 2 year deal (and it's said as hell that, that idiot doesn't know that).. but when you actually look at foles' deal, it might legit be the reason we get a 2nd or 3rd

With the eagles, it's a 2 year deal

With any other team, it's a 5 year deal.. 2nd year at 7.6.. last 3 years at 6.1

In all seriousness, EVERYONE is saying Nick Foles is a FA lol like no one is fact checking lol

sn: I did not expect Tate Frazier to be looking like that lol

Yea it's pretty hilarious.. but I knew it was a 2 year deal.. but I didn't realize it could be a 5 year deal through trade and only through trade

How is there no gif of the 5:20 mark yet?

 

[Upptempo]

Why is there only a video of the first half? Wish there was a second half video to see them celebrate
