I don’t agree that he was a problem Seemed like a good teammate and gave full effort on the field, all that really matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles18 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Bennett still dealing with legal issues and is getting up there in age.. Also he publicly said he wants a raise this week. Barnett and Graham will be fine on the edge, we've been spoiled in the past.. Still a draft and a FA to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he wasn´t a problem but I think it was a matter of time he became one. He was already asking for a raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furti Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Not too happy about that, but Bennett clearly said he wanted more money which he wasn't getting here. He was our best defensive lineman not named Cox. DL is definitely a huge need now. both inside and outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiled for sure, but definitely taking a chance here with Graham off a slightly down year and Barnett coming back from a bad injury...and I don’t remember him really taking much of a step this year previous to that. but I’m sure they will add a guy. Long’s role will increase...which he will be happy with. Unless we go sign someone of note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if he was gonna be a good soldier and play under his deal or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Chris Long stays and the Eagles draft someone like Charles Omenihu the room is still strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now we have Brandon and Derek start. Chris and Josh coming off the bench plus we'll draft a DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Yeah I'm surprised anybody would freak out over this? As if we're not gonna at a major resource to DE? The rotation isn't finished lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonOfDepth Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I'm not confident in Sweat and Hall as our first and second backups. Barnett, Graham, and Long are a good 3, but we need one more who can be an every down end for a solid rotation. If Sweat and Hall improve their games to consistent backup time. Long isn't even 100% guaranteed to be playing next season. I hope Howie sees it the same way and picks up someone in free agency or draft. I would rather sign a 4th DE than draft an end because we need a Peters replacement which could be used on a 1st. A good signing for 4th DE would be Cameron Wake or Vinny Curry. Veterans who are capable of playing the DE position consistently and are coming off good seasons. Draft a DE later in the draft if you like, but the 4th DE should be somebody we know will play well.
