Franchise Tag prices (Runyan discussion)

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well, thanks to some guy tagging my truck while parked in front of my house (only 3 years after some broad totalled my Mustang) I am awake. And listening to EaglesLive. Adam Caplan will be on and Spads said he's been talking to Runyan's agent.

And Dave was just asked about Larry Allen and it doesn't sound like much interest. He's mentioning Scott Young.

Im not even on the Larry Allen bandwagon, but what else can you do but laugh (or cry) when Spads is talking up Scott Young.

ha...so true

Spads says Runyan wants to be here...

This is Dave "just guessing, I swear' breaking it down on his chances: Spads says that the Eagles want him back and told him to go out and get an offer and bring it back and the Eagles would have to make a choice. But he thinks that the Eagles really, really want him back.

Yup. But then he goes and says they really want Runyan back.

They're playing ping-pong with my emotions. Just f'ing re-sign him!

[SD_Eagle5]

Way to step up to the plate and show a veteran reliable OT who you forced to take a paycut feel wanted.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Caller: Do you think we'll re-sign Runyan?

Spads: "Yes! Yes!"

The caller was taken aback. It sounded like he was ready to bemoan the loss of Runyan and Dave shocked him by his response.

[SunMo]

yeah, if they "really, really" want him back, why try so hard not to pay him one penny more than someone else would?  just pay the farging man.

breaking news!! from spads

pure FO spin

if they wanted him back so bad he would have been locked up before FA even started...if not then...then the second they lost out on bently

somewhere between not at all and for a below market value deal is where i would rate their desire to have him back

Evidenced by not saying 2 words to him until Bentley was out of the picture.


Just sign the motherfarger and end all this unnecessary bullshtein.

[PhillyPhreak54]

As long as they get him back, I don't care if it is a lowball deal or what. Just get it done.

I don't necessarily disagree with their strategy here, but at least keep talking to him and let him know that he is wanted and they will seriously look at bringing him back. Showing him the love and respect is giving him a deal he wants regardless when it is.

Spads says he doesn't think the Jets put the full court press on Runyan and that helps the Eagles. But Adam Caplan has spoken to the agent and he will be on the show in a few minutes to update

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Runyan did receive an offer from the Jets, and discussions are continuing this morning with them.

[Feva]

Expects Runyan to either be resigned or a Jet in the next 24 hrs.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Adam Caplan from FootballInjuries.com & Sirius on:

- Vikes signed Mike McMahon (Spads is shocked)
- Vikes having DeQuincy Scott and Tank Williams visiting
- Caplan believes the Vikes will try really hard to trade up for Jay Cutler

- Runyan told CSN and WIP that he did not receive an offer. But Caplan was told that he DID receive an offer and the Jets and Runyans people will talk more today. Runyan wants more than the Jets are offering.

- Jets and Eagles are the only two teams in this race

- Eagles are still very much into it

- Baltimore might jump in, but not likely.

- Once he gets that offer he is looking for he will take it back to the Eagles and is willing to give them a hometown discount of possibly 25% down from the Jets offer.

- Thinks this will be done in 24 hours either way

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Wow... Adam Kaplan said exactly what I said days ago... if the Jets give him a big offer, he'll be a Jet.
