News for Eagles FO: Draft != Free Agency

[reese125]

Stop saying 'for the love of...'

And learn to quote.

thanks Shakespeare, Ill be sure to do that...beat it.

[rjs246]

Sure thing, Reese. I'm totally out of here.

[SunMo]

Wow.  I have a Sun Mo hanging from my testicles.  How'd that happen?   

Anyway...

Yes, one defensive end should fix everything.

[ice grillin you]

We're now five days into free agency and there is still a shteinload of talent out there to be had.

NO


Personally, I'm hoping the Eagles were simply letting the suckers overspend (which they clearly have, IMO) and then dive into the market

haha...those tricky eagles letting the other teams get the best players


shawn barber....garcia...schobel...could have been gotten (or like players) in june...the first five days of free agency is for the best players...i like the howard signing but its not nearly enough...outside of a trade for moulds or walker they are essentially done this offseason with getting any impact players

I feel genuinely sorry for some of you.   

You get yourselves into a tizzy over something you have absolutely no control over.  None whatsoever.

Like I said earlier, there are still players out there who can help the team win.  Just because Washington went nuts signing players to idiotic contracts, that doesn't mean all hope is lost.  If you think it is, then you should seriously consider killing yourselves and that's not hype talking either.

Seriously.  Kill.  Yourselves.

id like to see them get Bernard and resign Runyan. I would that a Grade B Free Agency. In the 1st round of the draft you do whatever necessary to make sure you get Lendale White.

1.  This has nothing to do with what Washington did.  I think their acquisitions of Lloyd and Archuleta, particularly, are questionable at best.  I don't want our FO to be anything like Washington's, and I've never said as much.

Seriously.  Kill.  Yourselves.

2.  You're not rjs.  Stop trying to be.


Didn't you just say you agree that the Eagles have left a nice handful of needed spots as-yet unaddressed?  You're flip-flopping more than a politician here.  Do you agree with the current tact of the of Eagles front office, or not?  Or do you just prefer to be non-committal, so you can claim you were right either way?

[MadMarchHare]

AHAHAHAHA.  No way they take White.  That would suggest they may run more.  We know better.

[ice grillin you]

romey can you tell me why randal el and lloyds contracts were idiotic in general and then tell me why they were any better or worse than howards

[phillywin2k5]

AHAHAHAHA.  No way they take White.  That would suggest they may run more.  We know better.

you think that Buckhalter can actually be effective again? Or maybe you think the guy from GWHS can be our #2 back, NOT! We need to get real and start killing the clock with some runs in the middle of the field and actually make yards at the same time.

Randle El's contract was not that outrageous, given the new CBA, the lack of WR's on the open market, and the high-profile big plays he made during his former team's run to the Super Bowl.

Lloyd's contract was ridiculous if the guaranteed money is anything close to reported, because he's not that good.

Howard's contract is very reasonable and is more like a 3-year deal.  He's due roster bonuses in the final 3 years of the deal, which were included in the $10.5m number being thrown around and which he will never see.  Of course, the same could be true for Lloyd's deal, but while Howard has been excellent in the NFL, Lloyd has only potential.

* Sighs *

Of course I do.  The difference is, I don't get suicidal over it like some other people.  Some of the posts in this forum are downright TATErrific anymore and I mean that in the worst possible way.

It's  March 15th.  The season doesn't start for six months, yet some of you are reacting like the Eagles will do nothing to improve the roster between now and then.  It's ridiculous, Mo.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'm not suggesting they'll do nothing.  I'm suggesting they won't do enough.

[MadMarchHare]

I don't disagree with your point that we need to run more.  I disagree with you thinking Reid believes we need to run more.  Buck's done, would be shocked if he's on the roster come September.  But the backs, IMO, will be:

Westbrook
Moats
Mahe
Tapeh
maybe Perry.

Bon Appetit.
