I feel like people have said this for almost 5 years running now? Yet Howie always finds a way to manipulate the cap and the roster. Like this year with Peters, Sproles, Jenkins, Ajayi ,Agholor, ect coming off the books. Next year will be a whole other slew of Veterans cap casualties. Alshon, DeSean, Sudfeld, Malik, BG, Barnett, ect. If you look at the past few drafts its clear they had a replacement plan in place for the future. Whether any and all are adequate, remains to be seen. Barnett- BG Goedert- Ertz JJAW- Alshon Sanders- Blount/Ajayi Dillard- Peters Watkins/Hightower - Agholor Reagor -Desean Hurts - Sudfeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alshon - $8M Desean - $5M Goodwin - $5.8M Barnett - $10M Malik - $1.3M ($6.4M if post-June 1st) Graham - $700K Even with rollover, that’s a hefty amount over the cap. It’d also be gutting the WR core and DL (probably look for a restructure with Barnett). Philly’s going to have to go all-in on Wentz, do something with Ertz, and kick the can down the road with Cox, if they want to do anything in free agency. So yeah, I don’t think anyone is under the illusion that the Eagles won’t figure it out. But calling their situation “terrible” isn’t exactly far off either.

So yeah, I don’t think anyone is under the illusion that the Eagles won’t figure it out. But calling their situation “terrible” isn’t exactly far off either. Fair enough. However the past two draft were set up "in hopes" of finding younger, cheaper replacements. JJAW looked absolutely lost last season as Alshons hopeful replacement, however we drafted 3 Speedsters this year while adding Goodwin as a Vet presence for the Desean/Agholor roles. Apparently attempting to change philosophies and go the KC speed kills route. In other words, the complete opposite of last years Offense post Desean! The Eagles absolutely suck at drafting the WR position, have for almost three decades now. If we get lucky with finding at least 1 god forbid 2 WR's out of Reagor, JJ, Watkins, Hightower it wont be as drastic a downgrade IMO. Especially when considering the PS trash Wentz was forced to deal with as an entire group the 2nd 1/2 of last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 1sting Alshon gets us 13 Million. Trade Ertz, cut Goodwin, Restructure Cox, and DeSean. Puts us at Just $2.5 Million over, and that's not accounting for any rollover. or cap going up from 17 games and increased revenue share (even if Cap is down for this year). Yeah we won't be able to make many moves in 2021, but we'll be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 1st doesn't solve the problem, it just pushes more of the dead cap to the following year, instead of the current one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedTheClock Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 How often do teams really fall apart due to going over the cap? The only team I can remember having really bad cap problems was the Titans in the mid-2000’s when they had to cut a bunch of dudes in their prime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh....that was more the result of giving a largely mediocre QB a long term deal, defensive stars like Reed and Lewis retiring, the downfall of Ray Rice, and some weak drafting for a few years. I dont recall them ever having major cap issues. Sure, they lost a couple quality players, but no more often than they usually did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
