And now we don’t have the resource to replace the guys we are losing, and got absolutely nothing for that resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesFlySBChampsHigh Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 3 hours ago, downundermike said: Then why do we keep having to sign guys 1 year deals with void years ?? Because we have the appropriate resources tied up in dead cap from having to restructure every year. Does it matter? We're still getting the guys he wants. We're still successful. Also it's better then punting a year or two. Not really sure why you'd wanna just give up a season or two to just get rid of dead cap that none of us have to pay for out of our pockets. Just accept it and enjoy the fun off seasons and all of our success. Before you say you don't wanna , that's what it would take. Penny doesn't deserve multiple years yet. Bradberry just got multiple years. Scott doesn't really deserve multiple years. Toth same thing. Kelce is retiring soon so why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a Lane and/or Slay restructure is coming. If you are interested, I track this stuff on a google sheet, so you can see the impact into the future. With the new Graham deal and roster bonuses that kicked in, the Eagles are down 8.9 million in 2023 cap space, but more importantly, down 7.8 million in 2024 cap space without adding a player to the 2024 roster, and have added to the dead money for the 2024 season.

I believe you. I’m just screwing around. I’m sure Howie has it figured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Joe Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 12 hours ago, Danger said: Yes, Quinn didn't work out for us, but this was the kind of year Howie makes that kind of trade and you don't question it. A prominent veteran, even if he's old coming off a fantastic season? On a team that made the Super Bowl even without much contribution from him. It was the right move at the time every time. Why not? We should always question it. I'm not for having blind faith on anyone on the team or FO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you're in a prime position to make a genuine title run, and your GM gets gun shy. You need a new GM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually find it quite interesting to track the cap real time, and it has changed my opinion of how Howie operates since I started doing it. Here is a link to my spreadsheet. It is pretty self explanatory, but I can answer questions if you have any. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tF3yanEJI265hP5FH6PVCZDmTt5QQxDye3gmz2wRy5s/edit?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Are we all forgetting how conservative I tend to be when it comes to making trades or signing players MOST of the time? I'm usually the one asking for "fiscal responsibility" in the cap, and making acquisitions, but when that moment is there you ****ing reach for it. You might not grab on to it, but if you don't try then GTFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think staying away from Robert Quinn midseason would make anyone gun shy or fireable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
