The leaves have dropped!

[coult44]

What leaves still need to be turned over to make J&S get off their butts and start securing the future? They haven’t learned one thing in the past 12 years. The longer you wait, the more you pay! Can someone with a good understanding of the cap please give me some reasons why that operating in the “let’s wait” philosophy makes any sense?

Jerry said “we are waiting for some more leaves to fall”. What, or how many more are there?

I think the fanbase is overreacting here. I'm all for letting Jerry and Stephen have it. But when it comes to Micah, Dak and Lamb....there's no incentive in those guys taking deals early. AJ Brown got done early because they gave him 98 million and made him the highest paid receiver in the league.

Lamb and his team knows he's next in line.....they know that whatever Jefferson got he was right after....they let Jefferson sign first and now that's the benchmark.

This is what it is with players of this caliber.

If you want to sign someone early overpay.

Terrence Steele...signed early...overpay.
Jaylin Smith...signed early...overpay
La'el Collins.......
Orlando Scandrick....
Terrence Crawford....

But with Lamb, Dak and Micah its gonna be different.

Lamb might be a little different now since Jefferson has signed.....but there was no signing him "early".

And to be honest with you? I think they are playing this correctly. If they objective is to overpay to keep guys then let the market dictate what the overpay is.

Who cares? It's not your money.

If you want the big 3 signed to mega deals then you don't care about winning anyways.

Big 3 needs to get signed and this team needs to focus on building a team and not avoiding running back in the draft.

As an Eagles fan I hope all 3 are the highest paid ever at their positions.

Jerry and Stephen are too busy with Randy Gregory smoking on leaves, just get the deal done!!

Salary cap reset year.

Eagles fans should be more focused on themselves then what the Cowboys are doing. They are just coming off a 10-1 collapse losing to Baker Mayfled, Drew Lock, Tyrod Taylor.....and almost losing to Tommy Devito. You guys got bigger fish to fry.

If you're serious about keeping a player, especially a 1st round pick, you pay them after their 3rd year. It's cheaper, and it gives you 2 extra years to spread out the cap hits. Two low cost years. It also makes the need for void years unnecessary.

Sometimes you might want to wait in order to stagger contracts. Or you might have doubts about the player.

Because the teams who don’t win spend? Want facts, I mean I know you balk against them but here’s the facts. The teams that have been superbowl winners and the superbowl losers over the past 10-15 years are always the teams that spend money!!! That’s a different statement than saying the teams that make splashy moves win, not at all what I’m saying.

Hard not to...they get posted on this site as much as the Cowboys do lol.

I hope they sign everyone you want them to to mega deals, bro!

I'm on your side!

Pretending like the reason we lose is because of paying our stays is diabolical.....

We lose because of our QBs.

Everyone knows this.

That's why Lamb and Micah will be paid and Dak won't.

Since Brown and Lamb have the same agent I think Jerry has a good idea it’s going to take between $32 and $35 million AAV, and $100 million guaranteed. If they can’t come to terms now it’s because Jerry is considering not signing him.

Yeah....I know. You've stated this.
