Random Eagles Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

"create cap space and sign a good player"

its so simple! if only they didnt need cornerbacks, wide outs, running backs, linebacker depth and an edge rusher or two

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'm sorry I don't have a spreadsheet available for you right now.

[ice grillin you]

the point is you dont overpay for a nice but not great player who would be the second best DT on your team when you have a trillion more important holes to fill and no money

[MDS]

but bennie logan is good!

[smeags]

c'mon now J, they have far more pressing needs than re-signing logan.

[QB Eagles]

I've seen a bunch of "what should team X do this offseason" stories in the media. For most teams the suggestions seem realistically helpful, then you get to the Eagles and it's like "you absolutely have to fix these 4 things but there's no money, even if you make cuts." That's when you realize how ugly the future looks for the Eagles.

[ice grillin you]

the one positive is that they have the young qb who isnt even the best young qb in his division

[PhillyPhreak54]

Sure they do have other needs but I want Bennie back

Sue me.

you can want him back, as long as you realize it's maybe 15th on the priority list for the team.

He's a nice player who's going to get overpaid because he's a free agent. They already have too much money tied up in the defensive line. He's expendable.

[QB Eagles]

Basically they gotta use the limited free agency money on a WR2-level guy, and garbage level/old dudes at CB, RB, DE, OT or whatever other holes you want to fill and hope that at least one of them outplays expectations.

[General_Failure]

Or maybe they don't go spending money in free agency this year, draft a guy or two who can actually play for a change, go into the season with a coulple of holes again, and do it again next offseason, and somehow wind up with a core of good, young players.

Now, does anyone here know somebody that can draft players? Because the Eagles don't.

i agree with this...its at least a three year plan...year one was the qb...years two and three are filling in holes that were created by getting the qb....they also went hard last year in free agency...it was a lot of resigning their own guys but still was money spent on "free agents"...its now time to draft well for once

[PhillyPhreak54]

I am fine with them chilling out in FA - I certainly don't want them spending an insane amount of money on some bum like Kenny Stills.

Good luck with that.
