those arent the questions you ask

the questions you ask is...

would he significantly improve the eagles

would he be a very good to great weapon for the eagles

you arent signing people on past performance...otherwise draft picks would play for free their rookie years...you sign someone on what you think they will do for your team...and like i said if you think ARE isnt any better than greg lewis then you dont sign him...but if you think he can be very valuable to your team then you go after him...money shouldnt be the deciding factor here

stop with the penny pinching...its rather sickening

I'm not penny pinching. I was simply posing questions pertaining to the topic at hand.

Is Randle El worth #1 money? IMO, no he is not.

Like it or not, the NFL operates within budgetary guidelines, IGY. Spending huge chunks of money on second-tier players might sound like a good idea, and it would be if financial restraints weren't placed on all teams, but it's been proven over and over that it is not with the way the current system works.

you don't have to worry about the budget, at all. the Eagles have people that do that. so, if they do decide to give him #1 money, you shouldn't worry about it, because the Eagles know how to operate within the salary cap.

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 28, 2006, 10:02:52 AM

If the cap jumps to around $105 million, we will find out once and for all just how cheap the Eagles FO is or is not.

Again, I'm not worried about their budget. I'm concerned/interested about which players they'll sign to fit into that budget.

@ FF: Agreed. If the cap goes to $105M, it will be very interesting to see how the Eagles approach that windfall.

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

Exactly.

NO ONE was to know what Burgess was going to do. I am so sick of hearing the FO get bashed for letting him go. He played like 10 games over 3 seasons. While he had a nice game vs. the Falcons, that was NOT enough (IMO) to base a huge salary on. Oakland took a risk and it worked out for them. Had we paid him that money and he tore up another foot, how'd you have felt then?
