2012 Off-Season Thread

PhillyPhreak54 · January 02, 2012, 02:34:49 PM

It appears that Howard Mudd will return per comments from several OL.

Jason Kelce is in a boot and on crutches and may have a Lis Franc injury.

No word on if Washburn will return, but that likely depends on if they remove Castillo from the DC position and who they bring in.

FREE-AGENTS
DeSean Jackson - must re-sign
King Dunlap - don't care one way or the other
Evan Mathis - re-sign
Owen Schmitt - I would like a better FB
Vince Young - get out
Ronnie Brown - cooked; need a better backup (would love to see LaMichael James drafted)
Steve Smith - get out
Victor Abiamiri - get out
Juqua Parker - don't care one way or the other
Derek Landri - must re-sign
Trevor Laws - don't care one way or the other (Caplan hinted the other day he may be re-signed)
Antonio Dixon (RFA) - re-sign

Copycat.

I'd be fine with Smith returning...with another offseason to come back from his injury. he was farging idiotic to come back when he did.

Landri is really underrated. Sure he's not an every down DT but every time he was in he made a play. Would love to see him back.

I think they'll make a legit attempt to re-sign Desean. Whether or not it happens is another story, but I think they make a good effort.

No way they sign 3 new LBs. I think the best case scenario is they sign a vet then spend one of their first 3 picks on a LB. Hopefully they go for an athletic beast and not some small speedy guy who gets pushed around.

Say what you want about Casey Matthews, but I though he played pretty well the last month of the season. Not saying I want him to be a starter but I think he fits the backup/special teamer mold...same goes for Rolle and Chaney. One of the aforementioned 3 is going to be a starter, probably Chaney, now they have to fill the other two holes.

I'm fine with Nate Allen at safety. I know he struggled at times but I think he has the talent to be a good player. They need to find a starting caliber SS. Didn't see enough of Jarrett to know if he can play at this level but if he couldn't get on the field ahead of Kurt Coleman than that's saying something. Bottom line is the offseason needs to revolve around the D...same as last season.

I'd guess that they start both Rolle and Chaney and look for the other guy via FA.

Also - who will Asante Samuel be traded to and what will they get for him?

Munson · January 02, 2012, 02:52:05 PM

Rolle and Chaney played pretty well IMO

I'd be fine with both of them starting again next year IF they get a stud or at least above-average player at the 3rd LB spot

I have a bad feeling he stays and DRC leaves via free agency. Thought DRC played well on the outside...not so much in the slot.

I can't see them holding onto Asante at 31 and his $11m price tag next year over DRC who's 25 and under contract for a whole lot less thru 2012. It's not like Asante had a spectacular year to make a huge case for keeping him around. Reid's been talking for the last month or so about how DRC is so much better on the outside and all that because that's where he's putting him in 2012.

SD · January 02, 2012, 03:15:25 PM

Thought DRC was a f/a after this season. If not then I'd ship Asante out of town for whatever they can get for him...which is probably a 4th to a desperate team.

PhillyGirl · January 02, 2012, 11:11:46 PM

Asante already seems to think he's gone.

Don Ho · January 03, 2012, 12:13:16 AM

Lurie press conference tomorrow/today! Fatty? Juan? everybody?

hbionic · January 03, 2012, 12:55:53 AM

What the F?

Don Ho · January 03, 2012, 01:01:22 AM

Heard while at the gym tonight. Watching the Fiesta Bowl with G. Cobb on the blackberry. Apparently there is a press conference scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday). Who knows,could be Lurie coming out and saying all is well, AR is the man, etc.

Trying to confirm but I'm sure Ed is out cold.

General_Failure · January 03, 2012, 01:23:42 AM

Lurie to meet reporters Tuesday

QuoteEagles owner Jeffrey Lurie will meet with reporters at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday and perhaps provide some answers to the questions lingering around his football team.

Don't count on answers that you really want to hear.
