Randle-El--7 years, 31M--11.5SB--for a 4th reciever and punt returner?
Shaeffer--a LT the Falcons didn't even want back, and the Browns give him the SAME CONTRACT AS BENTLEY?
Witherspoon--6 years, 31M and 15M SB
Anthony Weaver--5 years, 25M AND A 12M SB?
IMHO, the only FA that got a contract commensurate with his skills was James--4 years and 30M is about right for him.
I definitely agree.
The taterskins can enjoy their 4-12 season next year.
No doubt guys were overpaid, happens every offseason. Although sometimes you have to overpay to upgrade.
so was kearse...who cares...the name of the game in free agency is to go out and get some of the best players...why do you care what the eagles spend
There are still good players I want the Eagles to bring in and overpay. Starting with Runyan.

exactly.
so while other teams' impact players are making an impact, Eagles fans can say, "Yeah, but he's still overpaid" who farging cares. the Eagles are 30 million under the farging cap
i dont care if someone is "overpaid" it's not my money (directly)
would you turn down a job because you think you may be overpayed?
Welcome to the new CBA. What used to be "overpaid" is now the going market.

Bingo! There is now almost $10 million more per team chasing the same amount of free agents. There are going to be some HUGE contracts signed this year.

No, there is $8 mil more, not 10.

Both of you are dead on... after you go 6-10, and are sitting with some of the holes that we have... if you overspend a little to get that hole fixed... so what? The team is still better on the field. Overpaid or not, your opponent puts impact players on the field... you have to deal with them. It doesn't make me feel better to say, "Yeah, I know he scored 2TD's on us, but he's overpaid like a motherfarger!".
Randle El is the one I cracked up at. I mean, come on... he's not worth that kinda dough. He's worth just about what the Bears were willing to pay him at best.
Then Danny Warbucks comes along and opens the vault again skewing the entire free agency market.
What a joke. But, whatever... like some people have said, it's not my money so why should I give a damn? Good luck to Randle El and the rest of Snyder's grossly overpaid slop.
