Can you photoshop Rome burning in the background? I'll take the Tongan eruption too.
First round picks are 15, 16 and 19.
Free Agents
Anthony Harris
Derek Barnett
Ryan Kerrigan
Steven Nelson
Rodney McLeod
Jordan Howard
Hassan Ridgeway
Jason Croom
Genard Avery
Boston Scott - RFA
Alex Singleton - RFA
Greg Ward - RFA
Nate Herbig - RFA
I'd try to keep
Herbig
Singleton
Scott
Nelson
McLeod
Free Agents
Anthony Harris - gone
Derek Barnett - its always him, gone
Ryan Kerrigan - lol
Steven Nelson - gone
Rodney McLeod - feels like he will be available post draft and if theyre still in need of a safety...maybe
Jordan Howard - he was fine but they can probably go younger
Hassan Ridgeway - who cares
Jason Croom - i dont know who this is
Genard Avery - gone
Boston Scott - solid depth piece, should tender
Alex Singleton - tender
Greg Ward - nobody wants him, possibly camp insurance
Nate Herbig - tender
Would not cry over losing any of them, although I'm sure the Eagles will keep some in order to fill roster holes.
Most of them are the roster holes.
So, Fletcher Cox is cooked, right?
Right. The time to trade him was before this season. Now he's an old slow expensive locker room leader. That's what he was before the season, but maybe not everyone knew it back then. now it's clear.

Wait what?
Anthony Harris - likely gone unless they refuse to draft a safety in the draft.
Derek Barnett - bye
Ryan Kerrigan - go away
Steven Nelson - also likely gone unless he wants to come back. They need a top notch young corner to replace him
Rodney McLeod - could be back in a backup role
Jordan Howard - I would bring him back for depth purposes and system knowledge
Hassan Ridgeway - good rotational player
Jason Croom - gone
Genard Avery - could be back for depth and STs
Boston Scott - RFA - he's coming back
Alex Singleton - RFA and so is he
Greg Ward - RFA - and him too (all RFAs likely will be tendered)
Nate Herbig - RFA - coming back; he played well
Kerrigan stole money. I would send him to Mars without Matt Damon.
The RFA's all stay and so does Howard. Everyone else be gone.
dealing with a group of people who have no idea how nfl rosters work
greg ward, rodney mcleod, jordan howard...players like that are going very very available in the summer. if you have a glaring hole, you maybe bring them in. thats their role.
All the RFA's performed well. Why wouldn't they be brought back?
well i wasnt talking about 3/4 of them...but ward sucks. nobody wants him. why would you tender someone a contract with no value?
the other 3 youd probably tender. herbig is the only i see really getting another teams whistle wet, hes capable of starting. scott and singleton are down depth chart players.
Ward is valuable on STs and can catch the ball - think modern day Dameane Douglas type
I realize Kerrigan was worthless but it was a bargain basement one year contract in an offseason where the team had no money. Who cares. He basically did what he was paid to do. Fill space on a zesty team and not actively sabotage the defense. Barely worth a mention in a list of Howie's past, present, and future mistakes.

yea im sure the other 31 teams are going to be fighting the eagles for a special teams player who can catch
You sleep in your hyperbolic chamber last night?
i will likely have as many catches as greg ward going forward
I smell a bet brewing for next season
$50 and a havas 12 pack of miller lite
Make in Miller High Life and I'm down
Kerrigan had his only good game of the season so he's 100% back next year. Bet.

You're always "Romey" to me.
i didnt catch the howie/nick presser but evidently they (fake) committed to hurts and claimed reagor was a #3 wr
#3? more like #30 hey-yo
Unless they get Rodgers and Adams there's no other qb they can get to really improve. I don't think Hurts is the answer I also don't think he's as bad as he's made out to be. He's on a rookie deal and this is a weak qb draft (I see a bunch of desperation reaches) so there's really no other option.

yea theyre basically in this spot...if you cant get either one of those guys and its extraordinarily unlikely they will for a number of different reasons....their only play is run it back with hurts, use your assets to inject some talent into the defense while saving some kind of capital for 2023.
the ceiling is low with hurts but theyre not going to blow it up and tank so this is what we got
And it's better than having Wentz.
He'll absolutely outlast Wentz in the NFL.
