Franchise Tag prices (Runyan discussion)

I respectfully disagree with this opinion. Our 2004 playoff run and our 2001-2003 seasons were accomplished with decidedly weaker personell.

FF is correct the competition was weaker...but even with that being the case this eagle team is not 'decidedly' stronger in terms of personnel

Okay, okay but I will take stronger

I still don't think any of our division rivals has a legit top flight QB. Dallas' defense is mediocre. The Giant's D has gaping holes. The 'skins probably have the best d of our rivals, but they are far from dominant.

id take the 01-03 defense over this current teams defense or offense

I think the secondary is better now. I think the LB's were better then. The line with Howard is probably going to be better this year. It comes down to strengthening our LB corps. I would love to see Arrington, won't happen. That being the case, I would love to see Ike Reese back.

Lewis is better than the SS's of that period.  Dawkins is still Dawkins, but he was in his absolute prime in 2001-2003.  Lito and Sheldon are a little more athletic than Troy and Bobby, but Troy and Bobby were smarter players and more physical overall.  That's partially because the rules are such that the CB's could make a lot more contact then, but...

Anyway, coming off last season is a bad time to judge the current secondary.

Take this for what it's worth alert:

A guy called into WIP and said his source in NY said Runyan asked for 3 years 18 million and 12.5 guaranteed over the first 2 years. The Jets declined that but made a counter-offer. He didn't know what that offer was. He was a friend of Gargano and Gargano said the guy has very reliable sources.

yep heard that myself but stayed away from posting it for fear of pg coming out of her cave to bash me

gargano has also repeatedly said that hes been told the eagles simply dont want runyan back...they want to move forward with herremans outside

Keep the tackle with back issues and not the healthy one. Makes no farging sense to me.

it makes perfect sense, if you look at it from thier view.  if Runyan had a contract for this year, he'd be here, just like Tra, but he doesn't, so he's gone.

wheres rome

"but dood that money is insane, if the jets want to be that idiotic and pay him that much i dont blame the FO for letting him go, its time to move on"

[hunt]

it's definite rebuild mode if runyan isn't back...and look for them to draft tra's replacement too.  hairy-man can only play 1 tackle position.

It's more like keeping the one under contract and not the free agent.

its more like stick the blueprint at all costs...including a superbowl
