Nothing wrong with signing low cost veterans

...IF you sign the correct ones.

The Eagles paid 4.66M total for 2024 to OLineman Mekhi Becton.

Becton was a bust for the Jets as the 11th overall pick in theh 2020 NFL draft.
- The Jets played him at OT and were dissappointed.

The Eagles sign him and put his 360+ pound body at OG.
- He was their starting RG including 4 playoff games.
- Result: The Eagles powered their way to a Super Bowl win with a mediocre QB...
I get what you’re saying and we have actually done exactly that before with big Leonard Davis. Unfortunately we didn’t advance in the playoffs, but finding low cost FA can make a difference. Our problem as mentioned in this thread is that’s all we do is sign low cost FA and expect them to fill every void, and it’s gotten the no where.

you sign one, or two. just to fill one gap. one or two good ones. but you don't build a team with a bunch of low cost players.
 
No but if they make up the core of your team especially if they have 1-2 year contracts then it is extremely hard to build something special.
Has to be this and drafting well, which the Eagles have been doing both of lately.

How many Pro Bowlers are on roster right now?
 
Did I miss the 2016-2018 Dak winning a Super Bowl?
The team was cheated by refs from being in the NFC Championship Game. That against a team they had already beaten. YEA, you miss much more than a little. 2016.
 
Gonna get worse.

This season could be a train wreck.
Yea, beyond stereotype and bias, prove it. The draft isn't even been conducted. I root to kick Philadelphia's butt, non-stop. I don't give support to a bunch of admitted cry babies!! Build that waste pile...
 
I just can't get over how lucky I was for the first half of my fan career. 1962-1996 8 SB's with 5 wins. 1997- 2024, nada, zip, zilch. The last 28 years have been miserable as a fan.

PS- It was all Jimmy

At some point you have to stop banging your head against the wall and admit it hurts. You go back as far as I do. You remember the greatness. What we have today is far from those days, Amigo.

Crap, this is a head up physical sport. I don't support the 'fan' sick lame and lazy stance and always in first formation and report on sick call. Cry in private...try a POW status and measure up failing to show up.

Cry baby material....back door insult of Jerry. Tell us how many All Pros are on the roster and where those stand in comparison throughout the NFL. You non stop cry baby imput.

Bring in the dozers...there is nothing but dead weight being sleuced here. NO GOLD!! You don't even use a level piece to collect gold with!!!
 
Yeah nothing wrong.

If you do have a team, game plan, good coaching and good front office.

Dallas has NONE of them.

Dak must not care about any of that...he has it made. It was Romo's fault for Dak becoming the the fraud he is. I blame Romo for getting injured to let this dancing clown to show up.

I bet his fans cannot wait to see his new house, just him. How embarrassing.
 
Who cares? If someone said Barkley was the worst running back in the league I could care less. It’s Eagles fans job to defend their players not Cowboy fans.

You guys have lost your fandom thanks to Jerry.
Pretending players on other teams are not good is not being a fan. When Hurts’ career resume exceeds that of Aikman, and it will, will you claim Aikman’s success is the result of a good team around him and he was a mediocre quarterback?

Hey, you still want to fight me with them internet muscles. Don't scratch your head. Question? Are you in Houston or DC? lmao.

Aikman played in the damn 90s not watered down salary cap 2024.

And for the record I don’t think Hurts is mediocre. I just don’t care to argue it. He’s an Eagle.

This place is so backwards. This place will tell you much we suck but will prop up the Eagles. It’s truly unbelievable. Everyone has a right to fan how they want. I’ll argue for Lamar, Burrows any day. It’s not a “other team” thing. It’s the hatred Eagles. Damn so you guys don’t hate Eagles anymore? Jerry has ran this thing to the ground….
