that last one was definitely a troll for papa havas

but really i never saw him riding for boyk

[smeags]

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.

yeah unless maclin is asking way too much there's no reason not to re-sign him.

James Casey was released. $4M saved

[hbionic]

That's a relief. That should get us into the savings playoffs? Do we have a bye? We?

[Diomedes]

Prediction:  he does well for whoever picks him up.

Worilds a target?

I'd be fine with that. He's a good player.

[SunMo]

they talkd about him last year until the Stillers transition tagged him.

Present word has the Philadelphia Eagles as front runners for cornerback Byron Maxwell.

[PhillyPhreak54]

That's good news

As is this

@ZBerm: Miami LB Denzel Perryman met with Eagles ILB coach Rick Minter last night, got a sense of Eagles' defense

[Diomedes]

Not going to look it up...was Worilds hurt last year?  He's good. 

Maxwell, I'm not sold on or interested in.  His supporting cast was so good, I doubt he was making them better but rather the other way around.  He'll be paid the most of any D player not named Suh, right?

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't think he was hurt...he had 7.5 sacks though.

I can't see Maxwell being the second highest paid defender but he's going to get paid quite handsomely. I worry a bit about what you said, him being made better from the other three, but he cannot be worse than Mr Fletcher.

[Diomedes]

He could however be not much better. 

Now, I don't think that's the case.  I think he's pretty good.  But I'm not sure the Eagles should pay what it's going to take to get the most sought after DB.  They have cap room, so I suppose they could take a hit if it's a flop.  And what other options do they have?  Ugh.

Corners are easy to assess because you're just watching their skills in coverage...take Nmandi for instance
