Brodrick Bunkley, Philadelphia Eagle

[Feva]

Newest Eagles #'s... stole it from some jerk on the EMB.

Of course... he, in turn... stole it from TATE... so take it FWIW. 

Your link sucks, because it requires people to register for the EMB to view it.

You should go ahead and sign up.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No.

[Diomedes]

He's perfected the "I'm tough," head cocked back look, that's for sure.

I could take him.

[The BIGSTUD]

But could Reno Mahe take him?

[Geowhizzer]

But could Reno Mahe take him?

Out to Chick and Pete's?  Certainly.

Eagles | Wichard does not expect issues with Bunkley deal
Tue, 11 Jul 2006 05:53:01 -0700

Les Bowen, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports agent Gary Wichard does not foresee any issues getting a contract done early for Eagles first-round draft pick DT Brodrick Bunkley. "I don't worry about other guys signing," Wichard said. "As long as (both sides) are approaching it logically, these deals should get done." He said no obstacles have arisen in talks toward a Bunkley deal.

with the money they have available there should not even be a sniff of a problem with any eagle draft pick

[MURP]

the rookie pool for signing draft picks is different than the overall available salary cap.

[Susquehanna Birder]

The "approach it logically" thing means they expect to be offered the standard cookie-cutter deal commensurate with the position where he was drafted. Unless Bunkley makes some bizarre request, or if the Eagles try to lowball him, it'll get done.

One encouraging thing is that at his position, the Eagles can still afford a little holdout without too much of a performance issue.

I remember reading in a couple spots that Bunkley was having some issues with picking up JJ's system during the spring camp(s). Not that it will relate to his contract negotiations directly, but it'll be interesting to see how he is grasping everything in camp on the 20th.

Justice is more of a concern to me than Bunkley is since he was projected to go much earlier.

Bunkley's deal will be slotted a little higher than the same pick as last year due to the increase in overall dough available but not much.  The only deal-breakers I can remember are the voidable year clauses agents try and sneak in on them.

Although I do remember the Eagles acquiescing on those in the past few drafts.

Eh - whatever.  They'll all get done soon enough.

[BigEd76]

Still no signing yet, but Kamerion Wimbley (one pick ahead of Bunkley) signed his deal with the Browns....6 yrs (voidable to 5), $23.7M, $9.3M in guaranteed money

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Good.  That's an important step.
