That's because people who sit in offices aren't actually working.  I spent the day on a farging ladder at just under freezing temps with 40 mph winds. 

It was not better than sitting in an office, but I still prefer it because farg, at least I didn't steal from anyone today.

QuoteTwo NFL backs have caught 150 passes & averaged at least 4.8 yards per carry since 2011: Darren Sproles and LeSean McCoy.

Be great if Sproles found a little fountain of youth here and got all his mojo back. You just know Chip will come up with some kind of pkg with Sproles and Shady together.

Just figured it out - trips with Sproles, Shady and DeSean with Lane going on out to join them. Then throw a 5er to Celek that he can't quite bend to catch at knee level and drops.

Quoteccording to ESPN Insider Adam Schefter, the Eagles have signed newly acquired running back Darren Sproles to a two-year contract extension. His new deal will run through 2016. Sproles was previously slated to make $3.5 in 2014 alone.

Depends on the $$. 

Sproles doesn't have the same amount of wear and tear that most backs do.  That's not to say he isn't on the downside but I have no problem locking him up at a reasonable number in case things go very well.

i dont really get it unless they are paying him as a locker room presence de facto coach...hes in his declining years and they have guaranteed the most money in the nfl by far against the cap next year plus next years draft is running back loaded...seems unnecessary
Title: Re: Darren Sproles, Philadelphia Eagle
Post by: Rome on July 29, 2016, 10:44:05 AM
He's not a running back.  He's a split end on a team with remarkably mediocre receivers.  And it's chicken feed in terms of the overall cap. 

Nice use of de facto, though.

Whether he has any more return tds is irrelevant. He's a good player overall and a very good return guy. This is also a great way for Howie to show the players that if you play well, the team will take care of you.  Basically going the anti-chip route.

Jordan Matthews on Sproles' deal:

QuoteHe's a great role model not just for the running backs, but also for me. When I see him go out there and make plays, I'm like, 'Shoot, I need to.' I know Zach [Ertz] looks up to him. It's crazy. We look up to a guy that comes up to our knees! But he's a beast, man. He's a beast.

I think it's much more than that though. I think it's Howie (and Pederson to a much lesser extent) sending a message to players and agents around the league that things are going to be much different than they were with Chip.  Pederson, if nothing else, will be a "players coach" and will be open with players and encourage players to be vocal as well.  Guys were mostly afraid to saying anything to anyone with Chip because he'd send them packing.  And Howie is not only trying to wipe out what Chip did, but maybe even separate himself from the Banner model a little bit, which didn't involve much signing of older players.  Basically, the Eagles have a lot of stink on them right now and aren't an exceptionally attractive destination.  This is a small step in rebuilding their image....in addition to keeping a good player/locker room guy around as well. 
Title: Re: Darren Sproles, Philadelphia Eagle
Post by: ice grillin you on July 30, 2016, 04:46:07 PM
respect what you are saying but i think you are overthinking it...or maybe I'm a hater curmudgeon but I think Pederson is completely in over his head and they know it...sproles is an extension in the locker room and just the kind of veteran you want when you have a clueless leader as a HC

How is keeping Sproles an instance of sentimentality?  Keeping Celek would be such an example but not Sproles.  He's still got gas in the tank.  As for Blount, thanks for the memories and all, but he was cooked at the end of the year and Detroit caked him off.

Presumably Sproles is making the vet minimum, which is half of the contract that Blount got from the Lions. That's a very unsentimental reason to sign him over Blount.

IMO explosion is overrated on punt returns...in a perfect world you'd love to have devin Hester or Dante hall but assuming sproles isn't completely done I think he can be a late career Brian Mitchell type...who can read holes won't fumble and can have a nice return average...it certainly can't hurt to audition him...they don't have anyone for the job now

up to me pimp would be full time PR but they have already stated he would inly handle high leverage returns

part of this is pimps ego. punt returning is bitch work unless its a high leverage spot. pimp aint no bitch.

Sproles only needs 162 yards to pass Jim Brown for all time all purpose yards putting him in the top 5

Love the guy...but.

Only good thing I see coming from this is a higher chance he retires as an Eagle.

DING DING DING WINNAH!  Totally agree, he really dislikes Saints FO so definite possibility.

If only Howard, Sanders, Clement and (possibly) Ajayi could stand in as replacements.

Can't really fault the guy for trying to do it the last couple of seasons, but it was definitely time to let it go.

Thank you for your service, when healthy he was fun as hell to watch.  That touchdown against Pittsburgh in Wentz's rookie year was awesome.
