love it

tra isnt on this team next year anyway...

um...why wouldnt he be on the eagles? we're going to cut a pro bowl LT?

General_Failure · November 25, 2005, 06:03:51 PM

Yes, this team would cut an aging Pro Bowl player. Especially one with injuries.

PoopyfaceMcGee · November 25, 2005, 06:18:46 PM

If Herremans plays well, Thomas is toast... kind of like Lito Sheppard covering Terry Glenn. Oh!

So that way you have Herremans and _____ at tackle next year.
Its possible, but I dont think theres a reason to.

General_Failure · November 25, 2005, 06:49:41 PM

Manneans and Andews at tackle next year. Who knows who we'll have at guard though.

ex-pro bowl left tackle. i dont think hes gone quite yet but i think next years training camp and/or pre-season makes or breaks whether he'll be here for the remaining year on his contract. he has one year left right? or is that runyan who has one left.

Wingspan · November 25, 2005, 06:57:34 PM

thomas just had a false start called on him

Hicks and Clarke. That would be a formidable road-grading line.

Even though option #2 is to shift Herremans to RT and find a LT somewhere else (or just keep Tra for one more season).

Calvin Armstrong fills your blank.

General_Failure · November 25, 2005, 08:13:36 PM

We're screwed.

Diomedes · November 25, 2005, 08:18:43 PM

Calvin Armstrong screws defensive ends.

I think (and hope) Runyan comes back.

I also do not think this will be Tra's last year. Next year (2006) will likely be his last year here. His cap number actually goes down next year. And after 2006, even though he is signed through 2008, he has no dead money tied to him if cut. His SB proration ends after 2006.

2005 - $6,142,857 cap number
2006 - $5,042,857 cap number ($3.65M base salary + $1,142,857 SB proration +$250K roster bonus)
2007 - $4,800,000 cap number ($4.55M base salary + $250K roster bonus)
2008 - $5,700,000 cap number ($5.45M base salary + $250 roster bonus)

So if he is cut this coming off-season he will count $1.142M against the cap.

If he's cut then he'll never get that big money deal that he was obviously looking for when he hired Drew Rosenhaus. Who would pay fat cash for him after serious back surgery?

PhillyPhreak54 · November 25, 2005, 08:29:11 PM

FYI...

Fraley would only cost $200K in dead money if cut in 2006.

Goodbye Hank.
