Eagles grant DE Derek Barnett permission to seek trade

[AsthmaField]

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

It’s not… it’s just awful drafting.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

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

Good times.

Lol

Haha..... translated, they are trying to offload this guy.

"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.

When you cut or trade someone, all void years accelerate. So all dead money in 2025 and 2026 gets added to 2024. You cannot have future debt for a player not on the roster, beyond the June1st exception

Roseman isn’t the talent evaluator. He never played or coached football at any level in his life. He’s an attorney. His job is to negotiate player contracts to maximize the roster in deference to the salary cap and orchestrate transactions to acquire and/or dispose of talent at the advice of the team’s scouts and coaches. This is a mess he gets paid to clean up. If Barnett can’t find a team interested in him I suspect he’ll be stuck being an Eagle as a depth piece for awhile longer.

My bad. I thought he was GM.

Not a huge need for us - agree that you can never have enough pass rushers but from what I have read he is limited. Might be why the Eagles are shopping him.

He has a reasonable cap hit and is a reliable player (especially for EDGE#5), and Philly wants him to stay as having that level of security if injuries happen is invaluable. But his agent asked permission to find a situation where he’ll get more playing time

Have you followed your own team the last few years? Chip Kelly is gone

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Another 1st rd bust for Howie.

For as good as the Eagles have been over the last decade, they sure don't draft particularly well in the early rounds.

This speaks to their ability to build a team using alternative methods via free agency or trades.

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

Just the opposite of us!

Philly is run like most NFL teams in that the owner and VP of Operations have not deluded themselves into believing they can judge players’ ability or potential. It was the same with Reid and Pederson, who also had final say on players. I doubt Sirianni has been granted that kind of authority. It’s likely done by consensus. Many point to the Hurts selection as indication of Roseman’s brilliance, he had nothing to do with It. The Eagles have been more lucky than smart. Let’s see if their luck holds out.

Ahhh... so this explains to me why Dallas took a only 5th to ship out Amari Cooper.

 

[sarge1116]

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.

It never feels like Howie has trouble with the cap though

Barnett was a Vastly better pick than what we did taking Taco Charlton later in that round…

Lol yea their GM sucks. Two SB appearances in 5 years…give me our slow and steady approach all day long.

First off I didn't say he is a bad GM. He is the best trading GM in the league and his drafting has been much better and if you take the Kelly years out of it he may have been a little unfairly criticized for some of his drafting. I like that he "goes for it" but he just sucks with the cap because he is too reckless. Kicking the can down the road and backloading every contract to the extent he does isn't anything special and that's all he does. Let's see if the guys they lost this year end up being the downfall depth wise because they couldn't afford them. Plus you are an Eagles fan so you don't use "our" when talking about the Cowboys
