TheRealMcCoy Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 That 2019 season from him was remarkable. Coming back that fast from an Achilles and arguably being the best guard in the league. One of the best seasons I’ve ever seen from a Philly OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a cap for it, like x amount won’t. I get it though because teams with the $$$ would just backload stuff. Like guys like Brady would do the vet minimum for all their playing years then cash in on retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK, this is gonna sound maybe kina crappy of me, but I feel like if a player retires, their contract should become null and void. Or in suspension. Like you ain't playing those years, you ain't getting paid for em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleBlueDon Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Thank you Brandon for all you've done for us over the years and for being an integral part of our super bowl team. That being said, that added cap space kinda puts us in a higher tier now for spending in free agency. Big boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, but both parties agree on x amount of guaranteed money and some retirements happen for reasons outside their control. Would bring up issues for teams.

oland11 Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 I have so much admiration for Brandon Brooks. Both his on-field performance and everything he did off the field for helping with normalizing mental health. Arguably the best RG in football and if he played all of the last two seasons, I totally believe he would’ve been named first team AP at least one more time. A class act through and through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oland11 Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 As for the status of our OG/C positions, assuming Kelce is back, we’ll have Dickerson-Kelce-Driscoll(or Seumalo?). I assume Seumalo would take Kelce’s spot unless they draft an actual replacement for him early in this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Love you big guy! Thanks for everything and get healthy in your future endeavors. He was a huge part of our SB team and will go down in history because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably add a G/T somewhere along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Seumalo would take Kelce’s spot unless they draft an actual replacement for him early in this draft. It would be a competition most likely for RG. We also have Nate Herbig, Sua Opeta and Anderson (he played guard and then moved into center during week 18) are both under contract too. They played pretty well I think in their limited snaps though. I’m also assuming Herbig is probably back cause he’s a RFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
