Grade FA after Runyan signing

[ice grillin you]

he told howard to have a TO book burning bonfire before the opener next year

i cannot wait for that game....easiest ten bucks i ever made

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

so i wonder how much he gave up between the pay cut last year and the difference in contracts this year

Who knows, but it's gotta be fairly obvious after Trotter and Runyan that if older players want to remain on the Eagles, they're going to do it after turning down an offer for more money elsewhere.

You hear that, Brian Dawkins?  Yikes.

Ha!  We'll see.

I agree. This was a thin FA class at a time when every team got some cushion with the cap. It's just so easy to look at the guys in charge and call them idiots. Why? These idiots have been one of the best teams in the NFL over the last 5 years. How many management teams out there can actually win the big game? 3 in the last 6 years? So we fire the current guys for who?

so it's either they deserve to be fired or they're doing a great job?  no in between?

overall, the Eagles have proven they know what they are doing.  but when they have oodles of cap room and are coming off an awful season, I expect them to be aggressive and fill their needs.  just because i don't think they did that doesn't mean I want them to be fired.  it only means i think they dropped the ball a bit this offseason.

I think it is more the condition of the market this year. Normally all that cap space they have is an advantage. Not really much of one this year.

The fire them was more towards IGY who said he thought they are idiots. I was clearly unclear...

[Geowhizzer]

Signing Runyan pushes them up a little.  It's kind of like one of my students bringing in a project that was a week late and hoping that it makes the difference to squeak the next letter grade.

This was just enough to push them from a D to a C-.

FA is not close to over. Just thought I would let you all know.

By the calendar, you're right.  By the number of available free agents worth signing, you couldn't be more mistaken.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I have it at a B+ now, up from a B.

DT
SAM LB
WR

Those are still needs. But my guess is that they are addressed via the draft.

How can you list those three positions as needs (three of the four biggest needs going into free agency, and by the way the middle/left interior offensive line still sucks) and give this offseason a B+?

Dude. I mean. I, just.  I'm at a loss for words.

there is some homertastic stuff that pisses me off.  but then there's Phreak, who's sometime homertastic attitude just makes me wanna give him a noogie and say, "oh you"

[PhillyPhreak54]

Because they still have the draft to go. And here's a newsflash - you can get good players in the draft too!

DT - I think they will get Bunkley or Ngata

WR is more like a luxury now. We know they are pretty much done unless Walker or Moulds falls into their laps. But I think they will draft a guy.

SAM LB is the one need that I think should be filled via FA.

If they draft a WR and DT then I am happy.

If they draft a DT, sign a SAM and draft/sign a WR then I am load blowing ecstatic.

Phreak and noogie and anything that sounds like homo homer dont go together...not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm an optimist. But sometimes I do find myself teetering into the darkside. But then I hear some people who take it overboard (like the radio peeps or TATErs) and I am forced back to the homer side of things. But I believe everything I write.

Go get your Reggie Brown jersey's, folks. We've got a stud on our hands.
