Logic for a one year deal?

There really isn't any. I get that he has injury issues, so it makes sense in that regard, I just don't see any future upside in signing him to this kind of contract when you could have gotten a more dependable Marshall for more years and basically equal money.

get to take a look at a walking injury for a year with no future committment....then after a year if hes healthy and productive with wentz you can ink him long term
Eagles are a cap nightmare next year too, at least this gives the Eagles some flexibility next offseason, after Alshon misses his usual 6 games and the Eagles need a full time WR.

theres barely such a thing as cap nightmare in the current year of the nfl....a year out its completely meaningless
howie doing work
impossible to hate this deal.
Anything to help keep Agholor off the field.
Supposedly he turned down a multi-year deal from Minnesota to play with Wentz instead of Bradford. hmm

sure he did
If he turned down a multi-year deal it's to show that he can suit up for 16 games, prove himself, and draw a much higher salary. If.
i dont see this preventing them for using their 1st or 2nd pick on wr

Bingo. Can prove he's an elite level WR, and get a better long-term contract from the Eagles next year.
Except if he proves he's an elite level WR there may be 5 other teams knocking on his door who can throw way more $$ at him than the Birds can. Still, it gives them the inside track and a tag and trade wouldn't be the worst thing if it turns out they can't afford him.
Let's hope it actually works out and he doesn't blow his knee out or get suspended again

If he has a decent enough season to get an offer from another team, he's at least bought them another season to find a real receiver to grow up with Wentz.

This was exactly my thought.
Love the move and I'm hoping he stays a while, but since the top 3 WRs are all potential UFAs next offseason and the futures of Agholor and DGB are in doubt, here's next year's UFA WR class as an FYI:
Fitzgerald (likely retiring)
DeAndre Hopkins
Jarvis Landry
Edelman
Adam Thielen
Allen Robinson
Davante Adams
Martavis Bryant
Marqise Lee
Amendola
Mike Wallace
Eddie Royal (might be a salary cap cut this year)
Paul Richardson
Donte Moncrief
Harry Douglas
Cody Latimer
Josh Huff
Stedman Bailey
John Brown
anyone else that signs a 1-year deal this offseason
Of that list, Hopkins is the only one who really does anything for me. Some other nice guys on that list, but none of them are really game changers on their own.
So they're either drafting somebody this year or next.
The one year deal gives them a chance to keep him from hitting the open market if this turns out to be good for the Eagles.
They're still the Eagles, so he's probably not going to turn out to be good for them.
Oh, it'll be good, until right after a big deal is signed.

Yeah, even with some Howie magic it's still best case scenario a 2 year rebuild before they are a threat to go deep in the playoffs.
I'd denounce my love for Five and Five Fo for Deandre Hopkins to be an Eagle
You'll hate yourself in the morning.
Wouldn't be the first time!
I don't really care much for Barnwell, but so far this is his favorite free agent signing, in fact the only one that gets a grade above B+.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/Barnwellx2017FAgrades/bill-barnwell-grades-big-2017-free-agent-deals-nfl
Gave a B+ to the Torrey Smith deal too.
The Torrey Smith deal got a major bump from the Jeffery signing, imo. It was like a C/C+ on it's own and would have remained there had it been the only/best FA receiver they acquired.

Because a walking injury who stays healthy for a year will never be hurt again?

Then they can tag him and buy time to sign him to a long-term deal.
This is his sixth season in the NFL; he's already shown his ceiling, or his level of eliteness. Justifying a one year deal by "him staying healthy for this year proves he'll never get hurt again" doesn't make sense to me.
The one year deal was probably more Jeffery's idea than the Eagles. He wants to make bank, and he wasn't gonna get it with his value perceived lower by the league. This is his chance to build it back up in a situation he thought was best.
He may have gotten a multi-year deal from a Cleveland or Jacksonville or even the Vikings, but the smart money was to take the deal from someone, and play himself into a better one next year. I'm just shocked that he chose the Eagles because let's face it, it's not like they're some offensive juggernaut. I like what they did with Torrey Smith and the Warmack pickup is nice for depth along the line, (and yes, he could be a starter, but who knows) but the running game is still a huge question mark and the quarterback is still unproven. Just saying, there's other teams out there with better situations for a guy like him to prove his worth.

year two just started....so at least year four or five until any deep playoff run happens
I agree with you but the Eagles don't seem to be approaching it that way. You don't act as aggressively as they have if you're planning on a run in 2020.
Actually the Eagles are in year 12 of rebuilding but who's counting?
Teams won't admit they are rebuilding for more than a year if at all, they think it's bad for ticket sales. But smart teams realize there's a difference between turning around a bad team in a year to make the playoffs where 'once you get in anything can happen,' vs having a legit shot at a championship. I'm not even sure which way the Eagles brain trust is looking at it but I have to think it is taking a long view since Howie decided to dismantle Chips team.
And yeah Alshon is basically doing a Maclin, betting on himself to prove he is worthy of getting a better long term payoff. Even if one healthy year doesn't prove anything long term, it can be a difference maker in getting better long term offers from more desirable clubs.

other than the moves to get wentz which was a move for the future i dont know what they have done that would be deemed aggressive...trading picks and signing brandon cooks long term would be aggressive...signing alshon jeffery to a one year deal to me is not
anyway the best evidence that they are in the process of a long term plan is from the GM himself less than a week ago
"You've got to take some short-term pains for that, and hopefully, when you do that, you get the long-term gains," Roseman said. "You want to do something that so two, three, four years from now that maybe you have that opportunity to add that missing piece, or one piece, you have that flexibility."
"We're not sitting here and saying we're one player away - that if we just sign this one guy, that's going to put us in position to just get over the top," Roseman said Wednesday at the NFL scouting combine. "We're going to try to build this piece-by-piece and be aware of the risk involved in things. That doesn't mean we don't take some risks or have to get through the moment at certain positions, but that's our plan."

Four year extension through 2021
$52m with an additional $1m per year in incentives
have to see the details but at 37 guaranteed my guess is this is really a 3 year deal, which is about right for someone of his age.
when this thing ends theyll have to cake wentz off, so might as well get everyone theirs now

Love it. Without him next year they're bare at WR. He hasn't been a #1 WR but you can see a growing chemistry with Wentz. I don't know where Howie is finding this money from but no complaints.
oh its 27 guaranteed....thats nothing. if they have to they might be able to eat that 3rd/4th years of the deals.
Man, what a weird thing to see with this team making mostly all the right moves.

Haha. Just read this. Couldn't agree more. It's like someone in charge finally learned how to run an NFL team or something.
He's been worse than I expected this year tbh but has been playing better recently and the guaranteed $ is palatable.
Quote from: Rome on December 02, 2017, 11:28:19 AM
Awesome news. He's been great so far.
he's been eh but significantly better lately which is about how he was paid
He's the leading receiver on a 10-1 team that spreads the ball around more than most. He also draws attention from the defenses they play against which allows those secondary weapons more opportunities to make plays. He's been great so far. But sure, let's piss on good news.
stop it....you are clueless
Howie bein Howie. Overpaid a bit because of injury risk if the fully guaranteed number is actually true. Still, Jeffrey has become a core member in the team's success and although they are in poor cap shape that is somewhat offset by having a lot of core guys already locked up. And I don't think anybody saw it coming how they would have so few needs at this point in time, no glaring draft need. The OLine and defensive backfield in particular have really evolved. Be great if they could draft a real game breaking receiver that compliments Jeffrey.
I like Jeffery but any number you look at shows he hasn't been great. Catch %, raw numbers, doesn't matter. He's also dropped more passes than he's known for.
But he's a good fit for the offense and been getting better. Seems like a good dude and is a RZ threat.
he's fine for the money especially when you figure in where you goin to get someone better than him next year at even half the price

QuoteWR Alshon Jeffery had successful surgery this morning on a torn rotator cuff, sources say. He suffered it in training camp and played through it, somehow, on the way to a Super Bowl.
Jeffrey > TO. I look forward to his inevitable Hall of Fame speech.
holy crap
Quote from: General_Failure on February 21, 2018, 11:47:50 AM
Jeffrey > TO. I look forward to his inevitable Hall of Fame speech.
He's better than TO mentally and as a teammate, without question. But he's not more gifted or talented of a WR, and likely won't end up as prolific.
How in the hell did he do what he did with that injury? Good lord.
Off the PUP list, as expected.
Alshon Jeffery: "I love the city of Philadelphia. Chicago is just where I was for work."
Love this dude
:yay
QuoteAdding context to #Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery's day. He played today's game with cracked ribs, which teammate Lane Johnson disclosed to reporters. An MRI earlier in the week revealed the injury, but he played through it. Jeffery also hung tough answering every question post-game
Last year he played with a torn rotator cuff and yesterday with broken ribs. He came to the Eagles with a rep as injury prone but I think now it is more fair as a tough guy.
The shtein he caught after yesterday seriously pissed me off. I'm happy to see the outpouring of support for the guy, though.
We can be brutal as hell but a guy like that gets all due respect. The whole team fought and scratched and never gave up. Made me proud, actually.
People were actually giving him shtein?
Idiots.
had to be TATErs
Apparently he went on Twitter and said he had the best hands in the NFL, so people were giving him shtein for that.

I hope sometime soon the birds go down there and destroy those pricks and the products of incest can go back home and figure out if mommy is also their sister or their first cousin. I don't think it will happen but I hope the Rams kick the shtein out of them. I'll take McVay slop fest any day over more Brees stroke offs and that smug little bitch Peyton.
If there is a God Alshon may be it.

Restructured his deal turning this years money into a signing bonus and guaranteeing next year.
Freeing up cash for AB :deion
Can't remember a player who wears the kelly green throwbacks as much as Alshon. Yesterday post-game it was Reggie White.
Yeah he's always rocking them
He's totally embraced the city. Love that dude
By far one of my favorite of the current players. Cox, Jenkins, Alshon probably my three favorite players.
alshon plays for the eagles and wears phillies hats to sixers game
might as well be from west philly
how different things are six months later...
I don't follow the soap opera bullshtein so I still love the guy but I had to laugh when I saw someone call him "Alshonymous."
Guilty, I was blowing him too a year ago at this time.
Thanks for the ring, now hobble on into the sunset.
He will be released. Not a shock.
Thanks for 2017, Alshon.
Besides, we have JJAW as a replacement.
Give a F what anyone says, I loved him. No hard feelings at all. Wish him well, will enjoy the memories.
Guy did what he was brought here to do, can't really be mad about it.
he was also the first to recognize what Carson was
Dude guaranteed a Super Bowl and delivered. Love the man.
