Do Not Expect Big Foolish Moves in FA

[EST_1986]

is by foolish you mean actually trying to improve this team, we know its not going to happen

if foolish you mean, we're going to sign Kindle Vildor and Benito Jones and taught it as a successful offseason, we know...we know

Not that many free agent signings actually work out as expected. The play well, but few play up to the money they get paid. The Eagles last year got lucky with Baun, Becton and Barkley I think. I give them credit for finding those players and making them successful, but a lot of free agents don't play up to their contracts. Then again, Becton and Baun were not costly free agents.

Look at Christian Wilkins. He signed a 4 year deal for $110 million and got hurt the 5th game of the season.

I understand your point,
However as Parcels used to say you make your own luck.
Roseman is running circles around our current GM ,and is the only reason they have won 2 SBs in 10 years and we can't even make a NFCCG in 29 years.
Until our front office can match the egirls we continue our post season mediocrity.

I expect them to sign a starting linebacker and a corner. They very well could also sign Will Hernandez and get another dtackle as well. They could add a receiver in free agency or trade. It's possible that they could trade for Myles Garrett during the draft. Moves are coming.

I don’t expect big moves

I expect competence and signing quality players that either can start or be key rotational pieces

That’s all I ever wanted….not unproven 8 year vets

look I get what you're saying and I'm not going to go through the whole list, would be too much research,

but people somehow sweep under the carpet they think unproven guys or washed guys is all that comes here I'm sorry but Kendricks, Brandin cooks, Gilmore, Lawson, , Turpin, Hankins, peters, Joseph, Kearse, Hooker, Sieg, and Jordan Philips, all a mix of young or proven vets with a little left...

Like I said there are more,

those are just the ones I think of off the top of my head, some growled at the notion of bringing those guys in, especially Kendricks last year turned out to be one of the better linebackers we've had here at middle linebacker in a really long time..

his numbers were very good.. But those technically are free agents that we got from the UFL all turned out to be good players. I mean we got the best kicker in the league you don't count him as a free agent because somehow it doesn't feel the same.

And I agree I want them to do a little bit more, but that's not all they bring in some are washed some are just role players which every team has players 40 through 63 are just basically what you describe either young or journeyman that are just moving around team to team to fill those roles...

What the title said you don't need to make big overpayments for like a guy like huff that's what Jerry's trying to avoid... yes, the eagles made a lot of other moves that worked but they paid the most money last offseason to a defensive end it did absolutely nothing last year, he was one of those foolish moves because he had a name..

They can make some moves more of them like 3 or 4 guys like Kendricks or even slightly better, ie more than last off season.

that's what I'm looking for; solid free agents in the Tier 2/3 level that can help the team mixed with the draft and some of the players you brought back, and WiII get back from injury etc.
