Eagles swimming in $$$!

[mcnabbmcnow]

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.

I should have included Randel El. I think they like Givens more, but I hear the Browns might spend a fortune on him cause of Romeo Cronell. Eagles won't go for Robinson..they've had it with questionable character guys. Steve Hutchinson would be another possibility, but hard to imagine them spending that much on the off. line if they sign Bentley. I could see the following offseason:

Bentley
Garcia
S. Barber
W. Witherspoon or David Givens
M. Anderson

 

[SkinsandTerps]

Forgot about Garcia. They say he is as good as signed.

Good Luck this season.

 

[TheSkaven]

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.

It makes no difference, Lurie is thrifty and won't spend it. I guarantee you they go into the season with more than $10mil of cap room. You know, to resign existing players, or at least that's what they always tell Eagles' fans.

:laugh2:

 

[Nors]

$20-$25M under cap are Eagles - and that includes TO Money.

If They want to screw TO they don't cut him now. Trade him right up to draft. They can surely get a 3rd or 4th for him.

If not cut him June 1st.

Oh darn...and just one season too late...LOL

That would be worth paying for...A TO and Jeff Garcia reuion...Pay-per-view...maybe...LOL Talk about a revenue source. There ya go!!!

Mike Anderson is the one FA as a Cowboy Fan I cringe at Philly getting.

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 ...

What you talkin about Willis? Most of the commentary here has been correctly directed to mcnabbmcnow's stated premise,,, that Cowboy fans will have a tough time digesting the "newly found" fact that Philthy has lots of cap space. Obviously, nobody here was caught offguard or is suffering any additional angst. Philthy will do what they always do: spend conservatively, field a good team, and fall short of winning the SuperBowl.

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.

Phillys been cheap in the past, I think we can all agree on that, but I am afraid to say this year, I don't think they'll be as cheap...........

Remember alot of bickering and griping from the philly players last year was because philly had extra money, and outside of McNabb, they wouldn't pay anyone. That is what caused alot of those problems. The players felt as though if they have the money, give it to us, we've won alot of games in the past, and even won the NFC championship......reward us.

Phillys management didn't want to pay them, so it caused alot of bickering and fighting amongst the players.

I think Philly has learned thier lesson, I think they will spend the money, even if they think the can save a buck, just to say to their players "Hey, we've spent the money, we don't have any left, go out there and play"

 

[Bizwah]

There are only a few players (FA) I worry about Philly getting.

LaVar Arrington: I think he'd be a great fit in Philly's blitzing scheme.

Edge James: He would provide a lift to Philly's run game. He's a decent receiver as well.

Darren Howard: I'd hate to see him and Kearse as bookends.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Mr Jones will GET what he wants.....wait and see!

 

[BigDFan5]

Looking at the article its east to see it is incorrect. Eagles having over 20 million does not throw them up to #2 in the league cap space wise, Dallas has around 22.5 million to spend. It also says Dallas gains no money in cap adjustments so somebody needs to email the author and ask him about the 9.6 million in bogus LTBE incentives in Rivera and Fergusons contracts that voids with the new CBA

 

[NotReally]

My friends you can't base your biases on what You've seen the Eagles GM do in the past.

Huh???? That's got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen written here. Of COURSE YOU CAN BASE your "biases"?????(read opinions/expectations) on what they've done in the past. While not always correct, past behavior is the BEST PREDICTOR of future behavior.

 

[AmishCowboy]

When have the Eagles outbid the Cowboys on any player that we were both looking at?. I don't think it's happened. :trophy:

 

[theogt]

Mike Anderson is the one FA as a Cowboy Fan I cringe at Philly getting.

Don't. He's a Denver back. Like every other Denver back his numbers will decline elsewhere. Portis hasn't come close to matching his Denver production in Washington. Given that Anderson couldn't produce in Denver as much as Portis, you shouldn't have much to worry about too much about him.

 

[Cowboys&Caps]

Who's Kearse? Never heard of the guy

is he still in the league?

i remember him in tennessee but he wasnt' there this year, im not sure if he is still in the league.

 

[TheSport78]

every year u can guarantee a huge LETDOWN from the eagles...no matter who they sign or draft it doesnt mean anything as long as they have mcnabb and as long as they are called the philadelphia eagles LOL

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

too bad they have the management of a 10 year old.


:laugh2:

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

I hope they overpay for Bentley.......say 6 million a year.

 

[AmishCowboy]

The Key for the Eagles is not to let Bentley leave town unsigned because if he comes to Big D for a visit it's all over!.

He's right guys, don't you realize that EVERY free agent is signing there this offseason? Articles and reports link every big name to Philly...Both Bentley and Mawae, Law, Randle El, Edgerin James, Archuleta, Arrington, Hope....we have no chance, nor does the rest of the league and we better concede to defeat now!

In fact reports have stated that TO and the Eagles organization have kissed and maked up so he's staying put!

The bottom line is that Philly is going 19-0, McNabb is the best QB in the league, and Andy Reid will be coach of the year! This blows!
