$10 million over the cap assuming the cap is set at the rumored $178 million

See ya Torrey Smith $5 million with no dead cap space see ya Celek $5 million with $1 million dead space. Celek should call it a career but he might come back for cheap. Vinny Curry had a nice year but he's not worth $11 million so peace out. I like Mack Hollins but I'm not convinced he can slide into Smiths spot. They can add a Veteran WR more effective and cheaper than Smith. Howie will need to work his Jew magic to restructure some deals. Last off-season we thought they wouldn't sign anyone because they were over and they went out and signed Blount/Jeffery/Smith/Wis/Warmack/Long/Robinson. They're in that Veterans will come here because they want a ring category so they might be able to retain or sign some players

Trey Burton's definitely gone. Someone's going to pay him, and he should take whatever money he can get.

Can Celek long snap?

they have a great young long snapper who probably is better than dorenbus ever was and is from jersey....unless he out of nowhere gets the yips or something he should be an eagle for the next 12 years no questions asked

I'm interested to see what happens at RB if/when Sproles comes back.

Sgt PSN

Blount was on a 1 year deal so if the birds don't bring him back or if he gets a better offer elsewhere, then you're looking at Ajayi/Clement/Sproles...which is still a nice looking backfield.

Sproles could probably be used primarily in the return game and Ajayi/Clement would handle the bulk of the offensive snaps. Throw Sproles out there maybe like 3-5 times a game hoping for 1 big play.

I'm not sure if Clement is actually ready/capable of handing a larger role, but it's hard to argue with his production so I'm fine with giving him a shot.

Sgt PSN

This of course assumes that they do bring Sproles back (I think he's a FA) and that they don't bring in other backs via FA or the draft.

shorebird

I kinda' figured the same deal with Blount although I'd love to have him back in an Eagles uni. Think Pederson might want that one power back for short yardage, which would mean Sproles or Celment would go.
Same here as for Clement. Don't see how they let a guy like that go for Sproles coming off an injury and being, 35 I think it is?

shorebird

He's an unrestricted free agent, they prob could get him for vet minimum, maybe.

Sgt PSN

Clement isn't going anywhere. He's on his rookie contract through the 2019 season.

Sproles is 33.

I'd also be fine with bringing Blount back but I'm not sure if he's cool with having a reduced role. Gotta assume that Ajayi will be the #1 back next year.
