farging fargbags.

If they don't resign him, I'll be really disappointed.  I'll also be more than a little shocked, to tell you the truth.

This one is such a no-brainer that letting him go would defy explanation.

[SunMo]

after their signings, how much money do they have under the cap?

[Wingspan]

unless the jets are offering something insanely stupid...like a 6 year deal with base salaries of 7-8M per year. if runyon is not resigned by the eagles...in my head, it will be the first step into me wanting a new regime in place.

i just cannot see the logic in letting him walk.

and if he does walk...the FO better be goddamn right on in their evaluation. meaning, they better win a farging superbowl this season.

cash over cap?

[SunMo]

no friend, actual cap space, i'm just curious, so that when i go on my drunken rants, i at least have the amount of cap space correct

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It's about $18-$20 million.  And it's only that small because they built about $7.5m of LTBE incentives into the contracts of Darren Howard and Matt Schobel.

EDIT:  Actually, it's about $21 million.

[SunMo]

$21 million....and they are going to have an offensive line with one veteran.

Runyan weighing options
<Mar. 24> Runyan is expected to decide in the next couple of days whether he'll remain with the Eagles or sign with the Jets. According to the New York Daily News, the free-agent right tackle is leaning toward taking the Jets' offer.
"Coach [Eric] Mangini and his staff made an excellent impression on Jon," Runyan's agent, Ben Dogra, said in an e-mail. "Philly has been home for Jon for a long time, and that makes it a difficult decision for him."

Runyan, who visited the Jets on Tuesday and Wedneseday, has said he would prefer to remain in Philly, but he doesn't want to sell himself short on what will likely be his last NFL contract. The 32-year-old is the only player who has started for the Eagles at right tackle in the last six seasons.

Yeah, that's reliable. LOL

[Rome]

It's from ESPN, PG.

It might not be as reliable as the chorus of voices in your head, but it's close.

[ice grillin you]

its not just not having veterans its having undrafted players...7th round picks....division II players...ect...

it would be one thing if it was tra and a bunch of first and second rounders


but to put all your eggs into these kind of players is ultra risky...but what andy wants to be able to do more than anything is say i told you so while hes giving the fans the middle finger

[PhillyGirl]

No, its from the NY Daily News...which is as much of a rag as the Philly Daily News.

[rjs246]

Along IGY's line of thinking... I'd say there's a 70/30 chance that the plan is to moev Andrews to tackle this year.

[SunMo]

i don't know why they wouldn't let Herremans get a full season of right tackle, that way they could move him to left next year.

[SunMo]

Hugh is doing a better job on WIP after a rough start early this week.  As far as the Eagles are concerned, he's surprisingly objective with much of what he says.  He is pretty convinced that Andrews can be a very good tackle.
