Franchise Tag prices (Runyan discussion)

[ice grillin you]

Runyan told CSN and WIP that he did not receive an offer

to be clear on this runyan told angelo that he didnt receive and offer personally but that he went to bed early and thinks he got one by now (this morning)

Continued:

- Runyan side is looking for more money

- His gut reaction is if the Jets throw enough money at him he will be a Jet.

- But the Eagles will have a chance to match, but will they? The Jets have extra money from dumping Abraham.

- What are the Jets really willing to pay for an older RT?

- Spoke to an agent of a LT who said that RTs are not as valuable and the fact that there are several other RTs out there a fair offer to Runyan is $12-$16M with a $5M signing bonus.

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.

i call bullshtein.

if that were true. why wait for runyon to get another offer?

[ice grillin you]

its damage control for when he leaves..."but we really really wanted him back"

I'm guessing that's a 3 year deal?

Kaplan agrees with me on Eagles FA overall, too... likes the Gaffney signing more than most, but thinks the Eagles have thus far neglected the front line talent and depth on the interiors of both sides of the line.  DING!

[PhillyPhreak54]

- Thinks the Eagles are pretty much done in FA.

- Keyshawn would love to be an Eagle, but he would love to be anywhere where someone wants him.

- Keyshawn will have a tough time getting a team because of his money requests. Turning down $3M a year is nuts.

- Eric Moulds will likely be released because no one will give up a 1 or a 2...maybe a 3. But he will likely be cut and he has about 2 years left of good football. He will get cut in his opinion.

- Caplan likes the Eagles off-season, doesn't love it, but likes it.

- Gaffney was a good signing - just didn't have any chances in Houston.

- Howard is a boom or bust type guy. He could come in and be a stud or totally suck.

- Barber is a wait and see situation. It all depends on his health.

- Eagles have a lot of money to extend players. Mike Lewis will be one of the first to be extended.

Interview over.

[Feva]

yep.

3 or 4...he said the average yearly salary should be 3.5 to 4 mil a season.

[MURP]

lol, yeah the Eagles really want him back but are not willing to spend some of their gazillions in cap room to lock him up over the past months.  In fact, they want Runyan so much that they are willing to let him entertain offers from other teams. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Spads' guess at 2006 OL:

Thomas
Herremans
Jackson
Andrews
Runyan

If no Runyan:

Thomas
Clarke
Jackson
Andrews
Herremans

or

Thomas
Clarke/Hicks
Jackson
Herremans
Andrews

More than reasonable, I thought Jon would command $5 million per season.

- Eagles have a lot of money to extend players. Mike Lewis will be one of the first to be extended.

didnt we hear last year that the Eagles were not very impressed with Michael Lewis... which is why he wasnt extended already?   

[PhillyPhreak54]

Eagles will run the ball a lot more. Won't be the Steelers or anything, but they will run it much more.

Said Donovan CAN NOT BE HIT.

SO F'ING SIGN RUNYAn!!!!!

I'll believe it when I see it.
