Please lock this one up mods

wow, i didnt think they would release him like that.  but, the nfl has somewhat of an image problem and i can understand why they did this.  personally i prefer not to root for someone who has gang affiliations..

Then you need to stop rooting for a lot of players
 
addition by subtraction makes sense, when the person being subtracted is a negative influence on the team.
 
Wow, I'm real bummed about letting him go, even for nothing. We couldn't get a team to bite for a pick, at least? Welp, good luck to DJax.
 
I'm upset too, but then I look at his salary and the draft and I'm actually a little excited. We were supposed to be over the cap for next year, but now we're under thanks to the cut and I wouldn't mind an Allen Robinson or Brandon Coleman in the second/third rounds. Plus, apparently dude was affiliated with gangs and Chip didn't want that type of culture. I'm totally fine with that. I wish him the best.
 
I'm good on Coleman and Robinson, we need someone with more speed

I'm thinking Davante Adams or Moncrief

Knowing Chip though, "big people eat little people." I'm expecting someone 6'3 or taller.

We have plenty of size at the wr spot Moncrief is 6'3 with really good speed ,Adams is 6'1 and well put together, a very good route runner imo.


I seen Robinson get chased down by linebackers that doesn't translate well to the NFL.
 
Our current receiving core is Riley Cooper, Jeremy Maclin, and Damaris Johnson.  Let that sink in.

We also have Benn coming off his injury +whatever receivers we take in the draft + Celek and Ertz , and Sproles coming out of the backfield, and not to mention Shady. I think we'll be alright. Sucks we couldn't get anything for him though.

at Benn that guy has played in 37 games in 4 years can't count on him at all
Word.

Between Maclin's one ACL and Benn's one ACL, I'll count that as one good receiver.

Regardless, our offense isn't dead in the water like people are making it seem.
 
i think our offense will be fine.. my biggest concern is depth..

i think chip's original plan was to go a ton of 2 TE with casey lined up as an H-Back/FB.. but when he saw that avant was a ready and able blocker he used alot more 3 WRs sets

no with having sproles.. i could see us using primarily mccoy, maclin and cooper.. then go with 2 TEs (celek and ertz).. and we shift out sproles or casey
 
but couldn't we have tried to get something out of DJax?
I think they did try...  Either other front offices knew something was about to come out and didnt want him OR when a team is shopping a star player they must have figured that something fish was going on and stayed away.  And teams not biting on the trade made the right decision, because now a team that wants him will get him for a fraction of the price.

Heard on ESPN but don't remember who said it but they tried. But they couldn't find a trade because teams didn't want him because of his salary for this year. What's interesting is that Desean was basically on a 1 year contract. Supposedly his cap # for the 2015-16 season is around $15 mil and the eagles weren't going to pay him that.
