I wouldn't mind being at the end of the first round. Just in terms of Howie in that power position. He might net us a nice haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $$ cuts will come elsewhere IMO. This is where good teams draft players to take the place of vets they deem expendable. Whether it's Alshon, Bradham, P-Rob, whoever. Good teams find a way to move on one or two of those guys so they aren't carrying tons of high salary players. We have a nice mix now, they need to figure out how to keep it that way. Losing guys we like is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole dynamic will change once we have to pay Carson his big boy salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phire Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Quote The good news is that both sides have incentive to get a deal done, as a new deal would likely lower Graham's cap hit in 2018, and would give the defensive end a fresh batch of new guaranteed money to keep him in Philadelphia for at least another two-or-three years. If Graham does indeed get a new deal soon, look for it to lower his 2018 cap figure, freeing up a few extra million for the Eagles to play with this offseason.

EaglesPeteC Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The $$ will have to come from somewhere and it probably won't be an easy decision. Tough calls for Howie this spring for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishHooligan00 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Currys gone unless he restructures, Could see them trading as well. Curry 5 Million Use that 5 Million to pay Bradham Smith and Celek are gone, Celek shouldve been gone years ago. Celek 4 Million Smith 5 Million That 9 Million goes to pay Alshon Restructure: Lane Johnson (Has 0 Guaranteed $ left) Rodney McLeod (Only 2 Million Guaranteed in 2018) Malcolm Jenkins (Team Guy, Gets more guaranteed long run and helps team relieve some Cap pressure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really went all-in for this year. But with that said this is something Howie is 100% working on every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curry 5 Million Use that 5 Million to pay Bradham I think Bradham is gonna get more than 5/year. Elite 4-3 OLB's are making in the 10+ range, no way he settles for half of that. Hell, Kendricks makes over 7/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
