Miles Sanders will not need surgery on his leg. He's on crutches and has a brace on today. Crazy that he finished the game.
Malcom says he will not play next year under his current contract.

I don't see a single name on there that absolutely must come back.
I'd like to see McLeod come back. Jernigan too.
Maybe Jalen.
Other than that? Peace out.
Especially Darby. farg that guy.
Mills can farg right off a bridge.
He'd wave his finger at you as he's falling towards the water.
From NJ.com
- Says the team and McLeod discussed a deal during the season but obvs wasn't done. The writer believes they will bring him back.
- Peters says he still wants to play. He told the Eagles he wants to come back. Personally I cannot see them bringing him back unless he slides inside. Him and Lurie have a close relationship.
- Sudfeld is probably coming back
- Thinks they want Curry back on the cheap for depth.
- Jernigan depends on the price. I want him back. I like him.
- Ridgeway could be back on a one year deal
- Mills is probably coming back
- Bradham could be gone since he has a club option
I was pleasantly surprised how well Big V and Pryor played last night. Good to see. Unfortunately it was Peters side getting blown up. Big V improved tremendously and Pryor did well filling in for Brooks. Praying Dillard steps up next season.
Yes and adios to Darby! Give Nellie a one way ticket back to SoCal.
What is going on with Howard? Million dollar question.

Nor do I. I'd like to retain Vaitai if possible. He's gonna get paid somewhere though. I think Sudfeld is worth keeping, would understand if they re-signed him. Otherwise...only on cheap deals for some and for others...bye.
they have to get rid of alshon, who goes from super bowl hero to adopted son to reviled snake in one of philly sports' weirdest odysseys. seriously everyone loved this guy after balling with a torn shoulder, defended him after the drop last year, then he pouts and trashes wentz, the team wins without him and now everyone hates him. the question is do they
-cut him and eat the money
-sell him to a team with cap space for a draft pick
i dont think you can keep mcleod and jenkins. you gotta get younger. jenkins is an eagle legend and the soul of the team, i dont let him go. mcleod is a zero...not a negative not a positive. he doesnt make plays but he doesnt farg up and makes the right checks. you could do better.
bradham is washed. well always have the panther game.
curry loves philly and is a sensible depth de.
peters is a weird one. hes an all time eagle and heading to canton but dillard is better. someone needs to grow a set and tell peters thanks for everything but bye.
corner im not sure other than getting rid of darby. maddox and strap are slot guys. mills is solid but unspectacular. schwartz simply doesnt like jones or douglas and for good reason. this feels like its going to be a disaster no matter what they decide.
Peters is done. Wasting cap space on him would be a stupid move.
So figure 3-yrs/$30M for him.
there are 4 high level wr's entering the final years of their deals
-keenan allen
-marvin jones
-kenny golloday
-allen robinson
allen feels like the most realistic trade so long as the chargers dont sign brady. robinson could be a hold out/straight up refuse to play his $$ year with trubisky. i think trying to grab one of these guys makes a lot of sense since they cant draft for shtein
Tony Pauline saying they're going to go hard after a corner and says Chris Harris or Byron Jones could be the targets.
Works for me.
BUYER BEWARE as they have signed some real horse shtein at corner the past decade
Yeah I fully expect whomever they sign to suck.
It'll be interesting to see what they do as a whole on the back end
Malcolm wants a new deal
McLeod is a FA
Sidney needs to play more (maybe he does better under a new DB coach)
Darby is a FA but needs to be shipped off to Antarctica
Crevon is a good player
Avonte is too
Mills I would like to see back but he is probably gone
Rasul needs o play more too but he has to be a press corner IMO
i want no part of harris
also lol at shouting out the frog and then as almost an after thought 'oh yeah avonte is pretty good too'
rasul is not a corner of any type...probably not an nfl player period or he would have been moved to safety already
sidney jones STINKS
Malcolm wants a new deal Give it to him.
McLeod is a FA Re-sign unless someone offers stupid money...he's not a liability, which is enough given the rest of the gang.
Sidney needs to play more (maybe he does better under a new DB coach) - a couple well timed plays at the end of the year has everyone forgetting that he's really not good...they still value the capital invested in him so he's gonna be here another year, but I'm not impressed and not hopeful
Darby is a FA but needs to be shipped off to Antarctica agreed...time to move on
Crevon is a good player - no. he's a hard player, and he's got better than everage instincts, but he's gambling and making miracle plays because he's out of position and in over his head...career backup
Avonte is too - good in slot..solid DB as depth...he plays
Mills I would like to see back but he is probably gone - Mills can go if he thinks he's gonna get paid...actually, he can just go (with love, but bye)
Rasul needs o play more too but he has to be a press corner IMO - backup
the avonte disrespect is comical...hes one of the best slot corners in the NFL
No disrespect from me. I think he's good

good is a strong word
hes a down depth chart cb. if hes you starting slot for 16 games it aint good. if hes your 4th or 5th cb and he plays here or there and gets some run in a plus matchup, then fine.
strap can be summed up in the final 2 games. he was balling against the giants and a disaster against seattle. thats him.

QuoteUpdate: Teams such as Seattle and Miami are still communicating but the looming contract is causing all parties pause. Jax wants a sweetener for YN and Philly wants to offset some money as well. Latest offer I've been told is 2021 1st, a mid round pick, and Alshon Jeffery for YN

These aren't players people are happy to see leave.
Maybe I'll stay self quarantined for awhile. This is brutal:
QuoteThe most important thing Parks and Brown have in common is that they give the Eagles potential depth at positions where they have virtually none. The only other safeties under contract are Rodney McLeod and Jalen Mills, who just re-signed here, and Marcus Epps. The only other linebackers under contract are Nate Gerry, Duke Riley, T.J. Edwards and Alex Singleton
farg lineback their best wr remains greg ward
Same as it ever was
Employing ham & eggers at LB and WR since 1999
I can't wait for Greg Ward to be run out of town faster than first round draft choice Nelson Agholor for not becoming a 100 catch receiver.
they also have one good running back
Good certainly and maybe great
also, Scott earned his back up spot, I'm not worried about him
I know all is doom to you...

he was a nice story because of the eagles injuries but thats about it...i guess he could become a number 3 nfl running back who mostly acts as a pass catcher and mis direction guy but he should not be anyones number two back...hes only in the position hes in now because the running back depth chart is completely barren and in a normal year hes at best a coin flip to make a team...if you think hes going to get much better then thats fair but right now hes not even the nate gerry of running backs
Are we talking about the same dude?
Scott is a baller. I'm fine with him as #2. Draft a young kid...roll with Sanders Scott and whoever else.
Need to worry about WR, CB, DE, and C...the RBs are fine
Scott's fine as a #3 back. Can maybe make some plays here and there...essentially a poor mans Sproles. They need a banger as their #2 back. Howard was perfect (when healthy).

how do you know tho...he has 61 carries ever and averaged 4 yards a carry in games against teams who had quit and he wouldnt have even played if not for catastrophic injuries but hes a baller?...like someone had to get the numbers with the skill guys they had at the end of the year and good for him for clocking some of them but the eagles had him for two years and didnt feel comfortable playing him until their entire backfield went down...i dont think thats a baller but i hope im wrong

boston scott cannot be your #2 back and as long as he is its a huge need...and like i said the 3-4 and sometimes 5 running back spots are also non existent
just two years ago they had
ajayi - sproles - clement - smallwood - adams
now
sanders - scott - holyfield - EMPTY - EMPTY
Damn I forgot about Holyfield. I'm curious to see how he does.
I agree with you. They do need some depth there. With DEN signing Gordon they may be willing to let Lindsay or Freeman go for a low pick.

I think Scott showed up big and I'd love to see more of him. He's strong as farg, talented, hungry....why can't he be one of those finds. He got no play time for the same reason other small duded don't...healthy guys who have cost their teams more ahead of him....under the lights when they shined, he far outplayed them. I'll take Scott over Smallwood anyday, for example. I don't think the opponents quit at all...those weren't easy games and each team had a good chance to play spoiler...they have pride....and Scott ran over around and through guys when everyone would have given him a pass for failing because he's small, and 5th on the depth chart.
I like the guy, I like what I saw. I wouldn't complain if they added a veteran for a cheap one year deal and bumped Scott to 3rd string but I don't see any sense paying a dude much to back up Sanders. Why not let Scott be that guy? He's cheap, he earned it.... Draft a fresh RB late, add a couple bodies for competition...and focus on the much more pressing needs...WR, C, DE, CB...

There's no need to send a pick when there's a couple dozen guys available for dirt cheap.
In fact Adams is the only one of those 2018 Eagles currently signed to a roster.
And as I recall, igy thought Adams was trash...funny to see him referred to as a horse in a full stable
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on March 25, 2020, 11:00:56 AM
Damn I forgot about Holyfield. I'm curious to see how he does.
Pretty sure they have him earmarked as a backup/ST guy.
So, with yesterday's addition of Three Last Names, Eagles have probably finished compiling the secondary, right?
Assuming they keep 10 like last year, adding a CB from the draft:
CB #1: Slay
CB #2: competition / Maddox should win
Slot: Three Last Names
FS - McLeod
SS - Parks
depth: Mills, Jones, Douglas, LeBlanc, rookie
If rumor that Douglas is available are true-who would trade for him??-then he's probably not making the team. I don't think LeBlanc is much more than lucky, wouldn't care at all if he's gone too. Jones made two plays last year so they're still probably thinking he'll become something. ... maybe more than one rookie?
can't see any scenario where they have ten...not only do they not have enough talent to justify 10 you want your depth along the lines
also we know how much Jim Johnson loves running DL in and out all game
also very high possibility their 2nd round pick is the rookie
10 was too many last year
I figure Douglas and LeBlanc will be gone
I'm all for a trade up for one of the top WRs but this is a deep wr draft so if a player falls I hope they use their 2nd on a safety. Instead of reaching for JJAW they should have used that pick on a safety. There were still some decent ones available
i think the only reason they had ten last year was because mcleod was coming off that bad injury the previous season...jonathan cyprien was traded in week 2? once they were comfortable with mcleods comeback
They dumped Ford pretty quick too, if I recall, much to Baltimore's benefit.
Avonte is a man over the middle, but if he's CB2 with Slay locking down the other side, I think that's a problem.

They do appear to have a surplus of slot guys. Three Last Name is not an outside corner, from what I've read. So if he's going to be the nickel corner, who of the others will be outside? Maddox is a straight up better player at any position than the others, so I assume it's him. If not, I guess Jones? Ugh.

Oh, you're right. I can be excused for the mistake. I'm right all the rest of the time.
Even with the talk of Mills shifting to safety I wouldn't be surprised if he emerges as CB2. With him and Robey-Coleman out there, other teams will be moving down the field flag by flag.
Going over the middle has become more popular in the NFL and having Maddox/RC rotating depending on matchup or both out there at once is nice to have.
Ideally Jones would finally learn how to play outside corner at an NFL level or Leblanc matures into that guy, but I have zero faith in that happening. Same goes for a rookie starting, because who knows if there even is a decent period to teach and evaluate the guy before the season starts. Likely we go into the season with CB2 once again a relative hole in the Eagles D, like LB.
i agree...you never take a guy out of his ideal position especially when you are as good in the slot as avonte...what usually happens is you end up weakening two positions
Probably in the minority but I haven't given up on Jones. He played through some injuries but he still has a ton of talent.
i havent either...i expect their to be legit camp battles at every secondary spot but CB1

Correct on all three points, other than JJ is dead. I can see them going DB in round 2 and there will be some good ones available.

Did Howie just compare Avonte Maddox to Darrell Green and Aaron Glenn?
Guess delusional thoughts are part of the symptoms of Covid19
I heard that the Eagles are holding off on season ticket invoices until the world gets back to normal although I have not received any communications as of yet.

i do know if he cared about money that much he would want his new contract in a state with no income tax and not the city wage tax in philly
Jacksonville is really not as bad as its reputation suggests. My daughter goes to college there and we have a blast when we see her. The beaches are excellent when they're open.
I can see why he's want out, though. Philly is Paris in the 1920's by comparison.
A true tale of two cities then, considering how many games the Jags play in London.

oh man
It's not. The beaches are just like New Jersey. There's beach bars everywhere, great seafood restaurants, golf and fishing are world class. It's not for everyone, though.

romey just walking into rakes
besides ruggs 3 this cat was my number one wish for the birds

They farging took him to Chickie & Pete's.
Is there any doubt Mims is an Eagle this week? I just hope they don't reach at 21. Wouldn't be opposed to using the first two picks on WRs.
Just get the best player available.
^^^THAT^^^
Falling in love with the CB Henderson from Florida and will go absolutely ape shtein if they select Murray or Queen at LB. Either one could be the LB we've been waiting for since Joyner & Evans.

normally i agree with this but unless someone absolutey nuts falls this is not the way to go this year....for example no farging way do you take a LB or a G over a WR if they are say 17 and 19 on your board and the WR is 23
Ruggs name is being thrown around as a potential trade up if he falls past a certain point. Even if they drafted Ruggs I'd still try to find a way to get Mims. Speed would be unreal
R3 is my number one guy in the draft and i guess if you absolutely fall in love with someone you try and go get them i just dont understand trading up for a wr in this draft...especially when you have an elite QB who doesn't need the best set of wr's in the nfl to succeed
is there some validity to punting on wr this weekend
-go db, de, lb with your first batch of picks. look to trade back for more.
-gear up to spend $$ on golloday, allen, robinson, etc. next offseason, which they can afford
-decent chance 1 or all of those guys are available at the deadline this season. retain 2021 capital and grab one midseason
-you likely have enough skill position talent and a top 10 qb to get you through the first portion of the season before you need to re-evaluate
-the 2020 season is going to be joke if it even happens at all
if one of the higher rated dudes falls to them by all means do it, but it doesnt have to be a must pick
wr room:
alshon, pimp, jjaw, houston j's gward, goodwin, reagor, hightower, big bob, burnett
theres no way alshon is ready to start the season or all their fragile little speed guys stay healthy, but one way or another something will have to give
Can't wait for Ertz to get 150 receptions this year.
Honestly like this draft other than Hurts which was an utterly baffling pick that they have still not attempted to adequately explain. They can't even sell it as a pure BPA value move because the rest of the draft was signing tons of WRs and LBs in the hope that some of the shtein sticks.
I like to see things all in one place

UDFA's
Michael Warren II, RB, Cincinnati
Warren (5-9, 226) could end up being a really nice compliment for Miles Sanders. Warren is a stout and powerful runner. He had 559 carries for the Bearcats in three years and piled up 2,918 yards and 51 touchdowns. He's the type of tough inside runner the Eagles could use.
Adrian Killins, RB, Central Florida (9 Sports)
Killins is a 5-foot-7, 162 pound running back who didn't get a combine invite. In four seasons at UCF, Killins piled up 2,459 yards on 406 carries (6.1) and scored 25 touchdowns. He also caught 70 passes for 864 yards and 8 more scores.
Noah Togiai, TE, Oregon State (NFL.com)
The Eagles are reportedly adding the 6-4, 244-pound tight end.. In 2019, Togiai caught 44 passes for 406 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Luke Juriga, C, Western Michigan (NJ.com)
The 6-3, 301 pound center played guard and center at Western Michigan, making him the type of versatile OL the Eagles seem to like. He started 52 games total in college; 38 at right guard and 14 at center.
Michael Jacquet III, CB, Louisiana (The Draft Network)
The 6-2, 201-pound cornerback began his career as a receiver but flipped to defensive back as a junior in 2018. In 2018 and 2019, he played in 27 games and had four interceptions, 94 tackles and 14 pass-breakups.
Dante Olson, LB, Montana (The Draft Network)
Olson (602, 237) was a two-year starter at Montana. He had 151 tackles in 2018 and 179 tackles in 2019. He also forced five fumbles over the last two years.
Julian Good-Jones, OL, Iowa State
The 6-3, 313-pound lineman was first-team All-Big 12 in 2019 as a starter at left tackle. He is a former center, which means he's versatile and the Eagles like that.
Raequan Williams, DT, Michigan State (SB Nation)
Williams (6-4, 308) was a three-year starter for the Spartans and ran a 5.04 at the combine. He had 160 career tackles and 11 1/2 sacks.
Grayland Arnold DB
Elijah Riley DB
Prince Smith DB
Manasseh Bailey WR
As bad as the Hurts pick was today's haul was every bit as good.
They got some really good ballers. Loved the Wallace and Hightower picks.
Round 1: C-
Round 2: F - - -
Round 3: B
Rounds 4-7: A-
Overall: C
I'll give Howie this - he got speed.
They were slow last year.
schedule coming out this week.
very high odds i will not be cramming myself next to 70K mouthbreathers at the linc this year.

this is really low hanging fruit
QuoteExpected format for 2020 schedule:
Week 1-4: Out-of-Conference games
Week 5-6: Equal-place Conference games
Week 7-10: Divisional games/Bye weeks
Week 11-14: Inter-conference games
Week 15-17: Divisional games
im guessing theyre doing this so they can just chop off weeks 1-4 if need be? start season in october and just play 12 games.
How much do you want to be a fly on the wall where they discuss/decide this.
The Eagles are "kicking the tires" on Clowney.
I'd be willing to bet a dollar the interest is not mutual.
Plus at $20M/Yr he's nowhere near worth that.
I could see Washington throwing money at him.
Quotetaterskins will open the season at home against the Eagles, per source. NFC East battle right out of the gate in Week 1.
Clowney is one of the most overrated players in the league, he's just been skating on reputation. He's never had a double digit sack season and has averaged around 6 sacks per season despite playing with arguably the best D lineman of his generation.

once the whole thing comes out ill look into it more, but for the eagles
-3:1 split in home/road pt games. typical its 2-2. however. eagles have a west coast pt road game and another road game on the backend of that. plus 2 road 425 games. i think this evens out
-they better start 3-0 because the end of that schedule, oh boy
-dallas scheduling is easily predictable. midseason snf game, week 16 425 game to heighten drama. they just rotate each year where they are.
-3rd time in 4 years opening against wash
-im also picturing disaster in that december game in arizona
-week 9 bye just as j demanded and expected
-none of this matters since none of this happening
That Rams logo looks terrible mixed in with all those 90s logos.
There's 4 for sure losses on there, so assuming there's a season let's say 9-7, lose in the Wildcard round to the Saints, Giants somehow win the East despite going 0-6 in the division.
Week 14 Jalen Hurts vs Taysom Hill can't wait
We'll all be dead from the Rona by week 14
heres the most important thing. what eagles games could be moved to snf?
@browns - if vegas stinks (possible) and both the eagles and browns are good (ehhhh)....this can happen
@cardinals - utterly minuscule odds, but its a *theoretical possibility*
thats it. youre welcome.
the PIT and BAL games are also the top the 100 games that week, so they will go to a sizeable audience. the 2nd NYG game is, too, but thats a funky week with the masters so i cant see it going big.
