CBS: Eagles GM Roseman looking to make 'big swing' for star Browns pass rusher

If the Browns trade him they will take a $16 million CAP hit when they already have a significant CAP problem to deal with. The Browns are effectively $31 million over the CAP now and if you look at Over-the CAP the Brown don't have many places where they can save significant CAP dollars, at least not by cutting players. They can restructure Watson's contract to get a CAP save, but then they are prolonging the problem with a QB who is likely never going to play for them again.

For Cleveland to take on this additional CAP issue by trading Garrett, my guess is they will want a lot more than a 3rd and a 5th. I bet they will continue to state they have no interest in trading him until someone comes up with a serious offer of draft capital.

Unlike some high priced players who would be hard to move due to their contracts, Garrett is due to make less than $2 million in salaries over the next two years and he is due $5 million roster bonuses in each of the next two years. That's chump change for a player of his caliber. Garrett supposedly wants a new deal which I assume will be a major commitment of money from his new team, but to take him on now involves very little cash.
 

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
I only had it once when I think I was 20 decades ago. It was at a party where I was already drunk and they pressured me to try it. I always resisted to that point, but I did a line in the effects did practically nothing to me. I had a numb nose, and numb front teeth and I felt like a numb nut for even trying. So I have to disagree with you. If you want to get dizzy drink a shot of Southern Comfort. At least it's legal.
 
The dude is still in his 20’s and has 60 sacks over the last 4 years. Hes not just in his prime, he’s playing at a historic level right now

This opinion couldn’t be further from the truth
He's 29. That's about the time your production drops and you start getting injured. My post was more sarcasm than anything.
 
It’s funny to watch him embarrass ajd accomplish more than jerry ever has in team building.

Fly, howie, fly. Make that drunk, jerry, cry.
 
"Old and washed up" Myles Garrett had double digit sacks last year (14) for the 7th straight year and a career high 22 TFLs.
It's sarcasm. I doubt it will happen anyway. Washington with another 100 million to spend is better positioned to land the 29-year-old pass rush phenom. I think I heard late last night signed Samuel for a 5. They can afford to throw money away to create a couple year window with older players.

 
Roseman already said don’t expect a crazy offseason. Highly doubtful this move is made.

With the way their cap is structured going to be nearly impossible to add him.

Maybe one a one or two year deal. But Baun is about to be locked up. They have Carter and Davis to lock up in a few seasons.

Like I said, I don’t see it happening. Unless he takes a small deal with a huge cap hit early
They wouldn't do that for a guy like that. Roseman would give him at least a 3 year deal and push the bk. of the money at the back end of the contract. I don't doubt they'll pick somebody up to fill the space of dominated, and Milton who will be leaving the Eagles. Sweat dominated the Super Bowl so he's not exactly chopped liver.
 
For the most part, I think cowboy fans realize the way the team is managed is below average. This post reeks of denial of the state of affairs. As fan, it is one thing to have hope year in and year out, but this is just sad as it gets.
That's a good post.
 
Roseman isn't wasting his locker rooms time trying to find a Super Star QB...and has no problem paying around market rate of 20% average contract salary vs cap at the time of signing.

This board wastes too much time talking money about one players contract.

Sure, Jerry has overpaid other players, but so have other GMs. Jerry might have an issue paying top dollar to too many positions, but he isn't overpaying at QB. 20% vs cap at signing is fair for starting QBs...good or bad talent wise. The ball is on their hands and decisions being made by them over 20% of snaps for most teams. That's why agents and owners agree on this 20% thing....yet this board uses the subject as fuel for controversy...for click money I guess.

Yes, I'm aware Roseman booted Wentz quickly. But he also paid fair market value for a QB most consider no where near Brady.

Is he stupid?

It would make sense for Philthy if they badly needed pass rush but they do not

Now the commodes are trying to get over the hump and a top quality pass rusher could do it. We all saw what pass rush accomplished in the Super Bowl.
if I was the commodes GM I would bust a gut to get Garrett. yeah he probably only has a couple of years of top production left but if you get a SB with him as a significant contributor then it is worth it

about the time production drops *if you’re a RB

From 29-33 Demarcus Ware averaged 13 sacks per 17 game season

From 29-33 Reggie White averaged 13.5 sacks per 17 game season

From 29-33 Jason Taylor averaged 12.5 sacks

From 29-33, Terrell Suggs averaged 11 sacks

From 29-33 Jared Allen averaged 11.5 sacks

From 29-33 Michael Strahan average 15.5 sacks

From 29-33 Bruce Smith averaged 13.5 sacks

From 29-33 Dwight Freeney averaged 10 sacks

From 29-33 Julius Peppers averaged 10 sacks

And Khalil Mack just finished his age 33 season, averaging 10.5 sacks over those years

This is a pass rusher’s prime. Anyone who gets him can sign him to a long extension and get every penny out of that deal

Reggie White. Man he was good. He was also a guy that in his prime racked up 70 sacks in his first 4 years. Even the anomaly he was his last 4 years he had 41 sacks. Even as great as he was you can't beat father time. I think Reggie had 21 sacks in 14 games if I'm not mistaken.
 
Credibility and credentials. This Jeff Kerr dude that wrote the article linked in the OP seems to have at least some credibility as a reporter. He also has NFL press credentials evidently. You lack both most likely. That is the difference in his report and yours.
He may be a very credible dude.

But he's not saying anything.

He's just posting links to 2 nothing articles, one of which doesn't mention Garrett, the other which is just a fan podcast, with as much substance as my Bijan post.

This Kerr dude doesn't even say that he himself has heard something. Nor does he even say he thinks it could happen. He basically said "hey, look at these 2 articles"

He doesn't even give his opinion of the links he posted.

You must see what im talking about, right?

I mean...if Walter Kronkite had an article that simply said "here is a story from a 6 year old girl that says the Easter Bunny is real" does that mean Walter Kronkite (a very credible person RIP) is saying he thinks the Easter Bunny is real? No...it does not.
 
I see that you do not like the message and you are going after the messenger. Welllllllll.....If you do a quick search of "Garrett and the Eagles" you will find several LIKE stories on the same subject by multiple reporters and multiple servers other than CBS sports. You have a lot more reporters to blast. And Garrett is demanding a trade out of Cleveland it seems.

But as I said in a post above the meat of all this to me is not about Garrett. It is about Philly potentially losing a lot of front seven D guys and how Roseman will handle it. Like the Cowboys the Eagles have off season issues. But IMHO they are better prepared to handle them because of Roseman. OH, how I would love for Dallas to have such a GM.
