eagles franchise LJ

[ice grillin you]

No dum-dum, you're not following.  I've said from the beginning that I didn't like the Eagles paying him the avg salary of the top 5 TE's.  He's not worth it.  But when methdeez said that he thought the salary was limited to base salary average not including bonuses, I said that it doesn't sting as much.  

The actual dollar amount is irrelevant to me.   

so you dont care how much he gets you just dont want him being paid in the top five of his position unless its the top 5 at his position only in base salary

i just dont get that

4.5 milllion is 4.5 million is 4.5 million...the formula that makes up that number is irrelevant...either you dont want that hit on your cap for this year or you do

a bum like Visanthe Shiancoe

I feel like I'm speaking greek.  I don't care how much the actual salary is.  It could be $20.  The whole point is that they are paying an above average TE the avg salary of the top 5 guys yet they won't pay top $ for players that are actually the best at their respective position. 

I'm not looking at the actual amount of money they have to pay LJ.  It doesn't matter to me.  They wouldn't pay him in a long term deal like he was a top 5 TE so why pay him like one for 1 year?   If you're going to overpay to get someone for one year then make it someone who's actually "worth" it. 

Yes, I essentially said the same thing in 2 seperate paragraphs.  I did that one purpose with the hope that maybe if you read it twice you'll get the farging point.

I know! He's franchised so someone will want him and we will get a first round pick in compansation!!

Seriously though, I'd love to see Dallas Clark in an Eagles uni, but no way do the Colts let him hit the market.

yeah, we get it, you care about the "status" aspect of LJ getting paid like a top 5 TE, it's probably the dumbest way to judge this move out of all of them, you don't have to explain it anymore

[Sgt PSN]

I'm not even judging it.  I'm judging the FO.  It annoys me that they're willing to overpay for him but year in and year out all we've heard from this FO is that they won't overpay, especially when it came to addressing glaring needs on this team (WR, RB, LB).

LJ is like every other player to the Eagles - an asset with a value attached.  Value is relative.  With available TE's on the market looking like shtein, the one-year "over"-payment is actually not one.  All of the "over"-paying you're complaining about them not doing are for long-term deals with a lot of up-front money.

What part of this don't you get, except for all of it?

[Diomedes]

I really hope Sarge keeps this up, because it's HILARIOUS to read you people saying the same thing over and over again.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I really hope you get run over by a Humvee.

How so many of you could all be wrong is beyond me.  I'm used to it though.  I see it everywhere I go.  But especially here.

In terms of cost:

Franchising a (WR, RB, LB) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Franchising a TE
