Upcoming Off-Season Thread

I would say Maclin is a pretty important potential free agent.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Igy would kindly disagree, sir!

Btw they better not let Boykin go.

[MDS]

maclin is good but entirely replaceable

boykin might not even be good....hes a midget nickelback who will never play on the outside for chip

list of eagles who can never under any circumstances reach free agency: fletcher cox

end list

[General_Failure]

Why would they want to go into free agency needing two receivers when they already need to look for as many defensive players as they can get?

[ice grillin you]

that shouldnt be their strategy but mack can be replaced in the draft much less free agency which has the potential to contain a fairly loaded FA class...if they lost mack and didnt replace him it would be terrible....but the reason his value isnt super high is because he can be replaced so easily

as for defensive players ...you can upgrade in FA but you rarely get a stud....technically the eagles upgraded at cb the year they signed cary williams and bradley fletcher...very few top end defensive players ever make it to FA and when they do the competition for them is obviously huge....thats not a strategy you want to pin your hopes on...basically you improve via the draft...which is why having chip as the kingpin there is so scary

boykin might not even be good....hes a midget nickelback who will never play on the outside for chip

lol at not being good....hes already a borderline great slot corner...one of the best in the nfl...in todays pass happy league its just as important to be able to cover over the middle as it is on the outside....not to mention hes not just a really good player hes a playmaker

[Eagles_Legendz]

The Eagles have two players who I consider unreplaceable - Cox and Peters. 

That being said, Maclin falls into the camp that you don't want to try to replace if you don't have to or don't have a concrete better plan in place.

[MDS]

maybe im just a forgetful franklin but tell me the plays he made in the 2nd half of this season

dont remember his name being called a lot

[Eagles_Legendz]

That's partially because Sanchez has a medical condition which doesn't allow him to see more than 5 yards downfield and Maclin is the only WR on the roster who has any semi-consistent ability to run deep routes.

[General_Failure]

Hey, Cooper can run deep routes just fine. His problems are that he can't get open or catch.

[MDS]

i was talking about boyk....but yea, maclin too

pimp put up numbers with colt mccoy. maclin is a good WR, but he aint in some kind of irreplaceable level of talent.

[ice grillin you]

in todays nfl you can put almost any competant wr in the number one position in chip kellys offense with kkk jordan matthews and jeff maehl behind him and he will put up numbers

do i want mack gone - no
do i give one flying farg about what team mack is on next year - no
do i want the wr's massively upgraded - yes

i was talking about boyk

wait so you are ignoring every game hes ever played except for the ones late last year when people were finally learning to not to go at him because hes really good and also because why would you when bradley fletcher and cary williams play on either side of him?

you are really dumb sometimes

[MDS]

so he nobody threw at him in the 2nd half of last season?

not one pass

[ice grillin you]

so he nobody threw at him in the 2nd half of last season?

not one pass
