Nice picture to use for the tweet, Ari. lol.

He was supposed to be a game changer. They rarely are.

I’m sure the market will be strong for a mediocre pass rusher that lacks athleticism and is a penalty magnet.

All i have is this used Kelvin Joseph or Jabril Cox

Way too much money for a position where we have some depth.

Shows how strong their D-Line is though

Gonna be rough in the trenches this year.

The are letting him seek a trade because he is going to get cut. Yeah, he's got a reasonable contract but coming off an ACL and never really having been a great pass rusher on a very good line makes him expendable. They'll get a 7th if they are lucky

he is a perfect example of why Howie is bad with the cap and does nothing but kick the can down the road. Trade him and he carries a dead money cap hit of $9.2M. cut him and and it’s $12.6M. All this on a $15M contract. Very little of his money has thus far hit the cap.

I remember the Cowboys Zone melt down when the Eagles drafted him.

Good times.

"Barnett was previously due to make a $7.5 million salary ($1.5M guaranteed) with up to $1M in per-game bonuses up to a max value of $8.5M. He’s now due a $3.5M guaranteed salary, with $250K in per-game bonuses and up to $2.25M in incentives (max value $6M)."

Actually, due to the way the contract was written and subsequently restructured, the Eagles would have a net ZERO $ loss this season, a savings of $2.8M in 2024, and $1.17M dead money loss in 2025 and 2026.

I would rather sign Kirksey who the Texans cut today.

That who caught my eye to. As long as his hamstring is healthy I think he’d be a great veteran addition to our LB core. I think I read he was a team captain as well.

Kirksey and Tanner Muse both peaked my interest

How is that poor management of the salary cap by Roseman?

I do not see it as poor management given Roseman restructured it knowing Barnett may not make the roster and was preemptive in mitigating losses.

Understood.

That's not correct. If he is cut or traded all of the dead money comes due immediately or is split over two seasons depending on how it falls into the post 6/1 category. At this point in the year it would fall into the latter category. Those dummy years at the back end only allow you to split the SB and other bonuses over a max of 5 years while you are still on the team. The bonus $'s allocated to those outer years will all hit the cap this year or next year (in this case next year). The per game bonuses that haven't been earned go away but are minimal. The guaranteed base salary goes away if he is traded but not if he is cut. What I posted is what happens as per spotrac who I find to be the most accurate. If OTC or some other source shows different #'s then it would present a different scenario, but what you are stating is not correct.

Also, I didn't say his cap hit this year goes up. His $3.5M salary is all guaranteed. The difference between his current cap hit and his dead money cap hit this year would be any bonuses that have yet to be earned which is minimal and if he is traded the salary moves onto the cap of the team that trades for him. Then next year everything else hits the cap.

He's an inferior washed up version of Dorance Armstrong. 6.5 sks was his career year in 2019. 2.5 sks in 2021 and tore his acl in the first game last year. Armstrong had 8.5 sks last year.

Another 1st rd bust for Howie.

 

[Havic]

He has been a let down and is kind of a bonehead like Randy g
