Eagles Interested In LeCharles Bentley?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That's not what I meant.  People are freaking out all of a sudden, thinking Jacksonville or Minnesota will sneak in and grab him.  I'm just saying it won't happen, that's all....

All the Eagles can possibly know is that they will have the first crack at signing him.  What they think is going to be an amazing, unbeatable offer might be exactly that... or it might be something that causes Bentley to play the market.

This guy's going to make some bank.  8-figure signing bonus is a given.

What are the odds that Jacksonville snags a player from under the Eagles' noses?

I'm not freaking out... I just know that until he puts pen to paper... he can chase more money if he chooses to.

generally most agents will not play the field if they receieve what they know and believe is more than a fair offer...its part of the unwritten rules of negotiating...

Get Rob Konrad too! 

NC says Bentley is a done deal, FWIW...

That just made my day.

i am hoping he wasnt real close with Fred Thomas

For Bentley, that would probably be 5 or 6 year deal worth no less than $25-$30 million overall, with $10-$12 million upfront... maybe something like that?  It's going to be a lot of money.

hes more than worth it

again

best player in the nfl (not just in FA) at his position + a HUGE need = cake dook off

I could live with that.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

My best guess would be 6 years, $14 million in guarantees (maybe $11m of it immediately up-front), total value of about $35 million.  But that's a total stab in the dark.

Kreutz got 6/$23M/$7M SB a few years ago when he was a top FA, so you figure it will be at least $25M...
