Eagles re-sign Brandon Graham

[Sydla]

You were the one who thought Philly would franchise tag Foles and trade him for Fournette and a 1st round pick lol

I thought they would tag him but I never said they would get Fournette and a 1st round pick. In fact, I believe I said that my gut was telling me they might get a 3rd for him.

making championship games =/= Super Bowls

Jordan Hicks is imperative because of his elite zone coverage skills, GPS for the football, and elite ability to read and react and pursue the ballcarrier against the run. His weakness is block shedding because he's a speed LB and not a big one, but that's more than made up for with his other skills patrolling the middle of the field. He's basically Jaylon Smith's equal when healthy

He is good, but he’s not healthy very often. And again, we already won 1 without him and i don’t think his 10 games a season is worth the money he’ll get. He’s our Sean Lee.

We’ll likely end up resigning him and it’ll be fine, but I don’t have an issue with letting him go.

 

[DFWJC]

Panthers were considering him as well, I think.

 

[Verdict]

I think there's a chance they keep Jernigan after they get him to restructure his deal.

I am bullish on building in the trenches. That's where you win games. We certainly seem to understand that at OL, but at DL, they seem to have bought, at least partially, into the notion that Marinelli is a magician and can turn cheap bums into great DL players.

It would be nice if they dropped an elite DT in here somewhere - either in the draft or in FA.

Isn't Jernigan a DT? 1T or 3T? Isn't he a space eater?

 

[C42]

So I guess Derek Barnett turned out like Taco?

I'm really excited about Barnett, he's been a good young player and hopefully will continue to get better. Barnett will start opposite Graham.

 

[C42]

They had another quality linebacker, Kendricks, back in 2017. They don't have that now. That's one of those positions where you can't really be a serious contender with a JAG starting.

Kendricks didn't play as much when we switched to a 4-3. Liability in coverage. His strength was/is blitzing the QB.

I hope we re-sign him at a discount due to his injury history. Or even a one year prove it deal similar to Maclin.

 

[DezNuts]

They can cut Bennet and Aghlohor to save like 16mill on the cap.

 

[Nightman]

Will I be issued a citation?

I think TSmith is very interested..... BGraham always gives him a war

 

[AmishCowboy]

Oh no doubt, Jernigan is likely gone now.

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, so are Jason Peters and Nelson Agalor

Agholor is an interesting case. He had one really good year and that's it. But what are they going to do at WR if they cut him? They hav Jeffery and they think Mack Hollins is something, but what else? Is Wallace still under contract?

 

[millennial_legend]

Cutting Agholor would be stupid, he's a well above average slot receiver and still on his rookie contract. Assuming Tate is also likely gone, they'll be left with zero slot receivers and a sketchy situation at #2 to boot. As great as Ertz, Goedert and Jeffery are, they can't go heavy formation all game long. And they still need a bell cow, Adams just isn't athletic or good enough and the other 2 are mainly scatbacks.

Cutting Peters' nearly $20M cap hit would allow them to sign Jordan Hicks and Leveon Bell - but at what cost to the offensive line?

Hal Vaitai has actually been a passable LT when starting full-time, but is passable good enough when your injury-prone QB is one hit away from making you a 4-12 bottom feeding team that will have the fans hurling snowballs at Pederson by December?

Oh!

Aghalor I expected and I wasn't sure about Peters. But I'm sure the Eagles homers will downplay the losses on their way out while telling anyone who will listen that their "cap is fine".

They need the cap space and frankly, Agholor has been average to bad for three seasons and only good for one season (2017). He's nearly a $10MM cap hit this year. You can probably find his production cheaper given their cap situation. If they didn't have cap issues, I'd certainly keep him.

But I will say this.

If he was a FA, I'd sure as crap be interested in bringing him in if the price was right. His ceiling is higher than Beasley.

What? No.

No "$20 million cap hit".

Do more research.

He's better than Beasley because he can actually catch stuff beyond 15 yards. He's both fast and quick, Beasley is just quick.

So 13 Million. Some eagle fan told me it was 19 Million. That's a sizeable difference. Maybe keep him and consider spreading it out over 2 years?

When I think of Agholor, I think of this:



He was THIS CLOSE to going completely in the tank and all-out bust status. I wouldn't want to pay for that risk that he might easily go back there if things went south.

 

[Stash]

Yes. But a lot of Agholor's money this year is guaranteed. They'd be eating dead money. He's better than Beasley because he can actually catch stuff beyond 15 yards. He's both fast and quick, Beasley is just quick.

Stop typing.

Everything you say is wrong.
