Maclin leaving Eagles to sign with Andy Reid in KC

[birdwells1]

It feels like the Eagles are imploding but Chip is getting a pass for some reason.

He's taking the prudent, wise, and conservative approach to free agency.

We just won the 2015 NFC East crown by default.

Chipster is cleaning house whenever possible, can't say I blame him.

Chip seems to be going all in on his system. Spending their money on defensive talent and figuring he can manufacture points out of scheme. It'll be interesting.

Playoff spot locked up making the last game frivolous. The didn't implode, Sanchez just went full Sanchez.

That only happened after we beat them and they lost to Washington. They beat us, and then went on a 3 game losing streak. That's an implosion. If they just went 50-50 down the 4 game stretch, they make the playoffs, and we don't.

Off Twitter........

At least you massively overpaid a CB, got older and worse at RB, and re-signed Sanchiez @Eagles

I can't stop laughing

 

[Wood]

That's very big news for us. Their two top offensive weapons are gone, and they think they're going to survive that as if their defense was stout already? That team is going to free fall.

actually its 3 of their top offensive players gone in less than 12 months (Jackson, McCoy, Maclin)

Andre Johnson?

Not gonna work with Foles/Sanchez and average at best players at the skill positions. They either need to hit big on Mariota at QB or replenish the talent they've lost at WR/RB over the past 2 years.

Sanchez, the supposed backup, is now paid 10 times what Foles, the supposed starter is. Foles won't play another down for the Eagles

They are going all in on Mariota.

Andre Johnson?

Watch Gore recruit Crabtree......

You know it's possible

 

[jazzcat22]

We were a part of it, but they also let Washington beat them.

They didn't let Washington do anything. Washington just simply beat them. We won the divison, Eagles did not lose it for us. Simple as that.

Well they largely got away with not having Jackson last year. I doubt they'll be able to perform offensively without Maclin and McCoy.

Their idea might be to go all out on defense and use scheme to create offense, but it won't work. The NFL isn't that easy.

Well they need him to be comparable to Andrew Luck if this plan is gonna work.

"The Chiefs will need to clear salary-cap space to sign Maclin, whose new contract would project in the range of what Randall Cobb received to stay with the Green Bay Packers at $10 million per year. It's possible Maclin could slightly exceed Cobb's salary when negotiations are finished."

eagles going full ******

 

[Plankton]

Is Chip just running these guys off, or what?

Yes - he's running them off without huddling and within 20 seconds of the beginning of free agency.

 

[manster4ever]

Me either. The guys he's gotten rid of aren't all that IMO. McCoy is so overrated it's hard to put into words. My gosh, can't remember a good game against anyone without a star on their helmet in two seasons. Maclin....solid but replaceable. Don't even remember the CB he cut loose...some guy who can't really play. He's stripping it down like he wanted to when he got there but wasn't allowed to. Now he has to sign guys fast as FA's and hope like hell he hits on about 4 draft picks. Odds are against him but at least he's got the cajones to try. Just sayin'

 

[StarBoyz83]

Andre Johnson?

Both

 

[JBS]

Nothing more than a rumor for now...but philly has interest in VJax

Via trade obviously
