New El Stop: Broad and Pattison?

[ice grillin you]

Using an exception, even one that ultimately kind of screwed over our favorite team, doesn't prove your point.

second tier players get 'overpaid' all the time and wide up as very good players...just as top tier guys dont always pan out...the point is if you think someone can help your team you go after them

again i ask why is wayne worthy of big money but randel el isnt

kearse but not burgess

rocky bernard but not kendrick clancy

[Wingspan]

everyone knew what mike mcmahon was going to do.

i didnt really give the burgess thing a thought when it happened, figuring they had other moves to work on.

but the only move that was made was mike farging mcmahon.

that still pisses me off, that they did nothing to counter the loss of derrick burgess or anything else for that matter. other than force runyon to take a pay cut, and farg with simon for a few weeks (who subsequently farged right back at them).

none of the personell losses were that great on an individual basis....but what compounded them was to total lack of reaction to them.

I agree to some degree, but the Eagles did draft Trent Cole and expected McDougle to be available at DE.

Either you're arguing for argument's sake here or you're just being obtuse, IGY.

Kearse, Wayne & Bernard have all produced at a top-level in the NFL; the others on your list have not or had not prior to being signed.

Also - free agents get big money based on a variety of issues.  If there's a scarcity of available players, they get paid.  If a team is in desperate need of a player and has the dough available to overpay a second-tier player, they get paid.

The Eagles are not in a desperate situation at any position.  Sure, they have needs and chronic ones at that, and the WR position is one of them, but overpaying a guy like Randle El would be a monumentally stupid decision on their part for the reasons that have already been outlined here ad nauseum.

There's a difference between a need and a desperate need.

Your desperate need for attention is a prime example.

[PhillyPhreak54]

haven't the Eagles proven they won't put themselves in a dangerous cap situation?  i don't get why so many people worry about what contract a guy is going to get.  it's not your money.

Don't tell that to Cataldi. He says that the Eagles pocket the salary cap extras and that the money in the cap is the fans monet.
