Franchise Tag prices (Runyan discussion)

[Rome]

Bringing up the Phillies in an Eagles-related thread is a violation of the terms of service of the CB.

See you in two weeks.

Sold.
I'll take that OL anyday.

Sold on hunny-buns out at center? Remember recent history w/guys named Jamaal staying healthy in Philly not so good. I think Jamaal is an upgrade, but I don't know where the brass stands. I do know he has more Chunky soup ads than Jackson.

[MURP]

honeybuns could still be the backup for now.

That would be a surprisingly solid line, I think. With Hicks and Honeybuns and Clarke backing up. not too shabby. Don't worry, they'll farg it up.

There's a whole lot of meat on that line.  Nice, physical o-line perfectly suited for backpedaling 35-45 times a game.

Reid loves those false start penalties.  That means he has to resort to more pass plays and abandon the run.

Runyan will get nothing more than a lowball offer. 

Just as Vincent & Taylor were displaced by Sheppard and Brown, Tra & Runyan's time here is about to end (even tho I think Tra may last one more season since he is playing with a dirt cheap contract...relatively speaking for a good LT): this organization doesn't hang on to players past their expiration date.  Youth is always served first.

And considering that the draft outlay for Shawn Andrews was as great as it was for both Sheppard and Brown (recall, it cost both a first and a second rounder to get him); I'd say the favorite to be the starter at RT would be Big Boy.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I doubt he goes to RT.

Spads has been saying a lot recently that he sees Andrews at RG. He usually has some kind of basis when putting stuff like that out there.

If Runyan leaves and they do not draft an OT in round 1 then our new RT will be Todd Herremans.

[bobbyinlondon]

The question is--when he says he'll give the Eagles a 25% hometown discount, does he mean according to his OLD contract, when he was due to make 5.5M, or the NEW one, where he made 4.9M including the guaranteed 2M bonus? That means he'd be willing to sign for anywhere from 3.2M to 4.5M for 1 year (approx).

[Feva]

20-25% less than his best offer.

[General_Failure]

It's a damn shame he's going to go somewhere else.

[pinoyboy2pt0]

No way Andrews goes to RT.  He's even having trouble keeping his weight (which he can't) at G.  If Runyan goes and we don't draft someone capable this year, Todd will probably step in at RT.  The better farging resign Runyan though.

[Feva]

Like I said earlier... ever since the thought popped up of Herremans stepping in at LG (as long as Runyan comes back) and pushing Hicks back to 6-man... that's what I want to see.  Add in Jackson in place of Fraley and you've got a physical o-line that can be just nasty.  Then maybe, just maybe... Andy will be inspired to actually run the ball in short yardage situations.

[Diomedes]

You're high again, aren't you?  Andy run.  Ha.

[General_Failure]

Running is only demanded during practice. Other than that it's pass-crazy whacky air-it-out football with no receivers.
