Eagles release S Kevin Byard

[StarOfGlory]

They tried, they failed, they admit a mistake, they released the mistake. All in a day's work for a football operation.

All the cowboys haters were telling us that this was a colossal blunder by the team and that the Eagles had, once again, dominated us with the peoples elbow off the top rope.

Whoah. Check the logo bud. The Zone doesn’t tolerate this type of nuance.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

You don't see us having to cut all of our talent.

Why should we?

We have exactly what we need, to go as far as Jerruh cares to go.

I think it's more like...they try. They keep swinging....and if it doesn't work, the tear it down and start swinging with bold moves again.

When it doesn't work for US, we respond by giving the mistake a brand new 180 million dollar contract, and keep doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over x28 more overs.

Both teams got blown out in the first round of the playoffs. One team was in a better salary cap situation than the other. One team is making moves to improve their salary cap situation. One team likes their guys.

Cowboys trades

• Cooks
• Gilmore
• Igbinoghene
• Lance

Eagles trades

• Swift
• Byard

Swinging?

I think there’s this narrative born out of jealousy of Howie that the Eagles are masterminds but they aren’t really much more active than any other team and don’t really hit any more often either, especially with trades and free agents.

The one move that everyone fixates on is drafting Hurts when they still had Wentz. Was that really a genius move? Is Hurts any better than what the Cowboys have?

As to trades, I’d argue the Cowboys trades were better than the Eagles last year.

And some freaked out on here...why didn't Jerry do that trade

I remember reading that thread. Most were praising the Eagles for continuing to add to the possible championship roster. All while Jerry was sitting on his hands doing nothing. Yeah good times.

So, not making a terrible trade was a mistake?

You must like it...they keep you posting new thread every 5 minutes.

Amen brother, preach it. Lol

Thank you for giving your thoughts! Lol

Not winning a championship isn’t the complaint

Goal post moving again.
All we have heard is how utterly bereft each player, coach, trainer, water boy, ground keeper, cleaning crew, owner, food delivery people, janitorial staff are because we've not even reached a NFCCG in 28 years.

Now, we are to believe no, that's not the true complaint. The true complaint is a

refusal to change a philosophy/structure that has repeatedly been proven to not work.

Got it.

The Eagles suck.

I'm here to support the team, and the fans. And to antagonize the ones who annoy me. Lol

Well there’s a distinct difference between REACHING an NFCCG and winning a championship.

I’ve never complained about what you apparently claim I have, and it’s hardly the fault of those folks.

Wasn’t “moving the goal post” what some people figured was the newest catchy phrase like three years ago?

Either way, feel free to move the goal post back to where I have a shot to understand what in the hell you’re trying to say….

What a stinker Byard and Leonard ended up being

Right. It happens. I'd still rather see our front office take stabs at improving the team than do nothing of substance and pretend like we're going to get better.

100% agreed

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

I don't understand why so many are bashing the Philly and/or Dallas FO on this. It was known at the time of the trade that it might just be for one season. Heck, even the link provided by lkelly below says as much. It was a one year rental.

In hindsight, these grades may not be very accurate:

Byard trade grades
