The Eagles have more money after cap adjustments than all teams other than the Vikings...

And your point is?

My point is, this might be a tough offseason for Cowboys fans to digest, along with Skins fans. I never knew about all these "cap adjustments" which clearly benefit Philadelphia.

they always had more cap room than most teams...so what will change now...nothing, they will still be chaep.
It worked for awhile, and they had good teams, but not anymore.

I doubt it. JJ and Stephen are the masters of the cap. We have 22.5 million to spend.

Having it and actually using it are 2 different things

More money to spend doesn't always equal the best TEAM put together.....look at the Commanders for God's sake! They always spend a ton of money on some big name FAs, but where has that gotten them?

Philly is a cheap organization. They may have more money than Dallas, but they probabably won't spend it all. They had the money to keep Jeremiah Trotter before his first release, but they let him go. Same with Corey Simon and Derrick Burgess.

The Eagles have always been in good cap shape because Lurie is conservative. He finally spent big money on Kearse and T.O. and it got him nothing. I always hear Philly fans complaining about the extra money they don't spend. It will be interesting to see what everyone will do.

Cap money has never been a problem for the Eagles, and they are always relatively quite on the FA market...... Except when they went out and signed TO and Kearse, and look how well that turned out! :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

Why expect anything different this year?

 

[SkinsandTerps]

So with all of that cap money who do you anticipate that the Eagles will be looking for as FA and the draft (Other Eagles Fans feel free to chime in).

Bentley is the word on the net, and Barber was inked yesterday. After that ?

Personally, I think the Eagles still need a RB, perhaps Mike Anderson would be a nice fit.

A WR, to compliment LJ and Reggie.

Some line depth on both sides. Some youth at the LB position to develop would be nice.

Who's Kearse? Never heard of the guy

When has money spent on FA's by ANY team affected the Cowboys. The more they spend it seems the less they produce. Just ask the Commanders.

The ONLY, yes I say ONLY way the Eagles will ever GET(not win) I say GET a SB trophy is if they take some or all that extra money and buy the SB. Like the Stealers did. Otherwise... philly will never get a SB win. Book it.

Well quite honestly that really worked out well! It did. TO produced, Kearse produced.
McNabb didnt do HIS part!

Eagles always have it, they never use it

Eagles Management is frugal; hence we have money to spend on the FA. Will we spend it ....hahahahaha --Just wait and see! My friends you can't base your biases on what You've seen the Eagles GM do in the past.

Now I didn't read into what mcnabbmcnow was saying like many of you seem to have done. I don't believe he intended to suggest that big name FA playmakers who want to play for teams with large cap money will automatically win games ...heck TO showed us that's not automatic! From my perspective, he's saying we have greater opportunities to go into the FA wage battle with full metal jackets.

Know this ...if the Eagles want a player because they believe he is a good fit, or a solution to last years injury prone team -- they'll spend the denaro!
That's not saying any more or less about your team. Besides, the FA isn't open until 12:01 Saturday. Put away your knives, Let's see who's cheap and who's frugal.

BTW, I thought it was mighty "frugal" for Dallas to hold onto Glover's bonus money before another team snatched him up.

Here are the players I expect the Eagles to look at in free agency:

C LeCharles Bentley (will sign)
C Kevin Mawae
WR David Givens
WR Joe Jurevicius
OLB Will Witherspoon
RB Mike Anderson
DT Rocky Bernard (unless price gets ridiculous)
POSSIBLY...DE Darren Howard.

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

My greatest fear is that the Eagles figure out a way to move up for Vernon Davis !

From the looks of that article, they have no more than Dallas.

They will have over $20 million available to negotiate new contracts or sign players to extensions.

Same can be said for Dallas.

Hmm... Interesting.

No interest in a guy like Koren Robinson or Randle-El ?

DE I think will be a drafted position for the Eagles. Mawae seems unlikely to me. Witherspoon could come cheaper than most expect also. Bernard doesnt fit the Eagles D to me.

But thanks for the reply.
