I feel like Howie knows he sucks at evaluating corners so he gave up trying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something he needs to work on to get over his fears. This isnt fantasy football.

Not punting a season, but get younger and start chipping away at that dead cap. Drafting better would help, especially at CB. Replacing those 3 in one off season would've been rough. Would've been like a punt on the defensive side. Unless you got extremely lucky in the draft and nailed 3+ starters. Only one I agree with is Fletch. Could've done without that contract but he is needed so just gotta live with that unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this plus isn't it one of the lowest % Hit rates on first round positions? Almost positive I read this somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have twice as much cap space next year, their franchise QB under contract already, and more draft picks than the Eagles this year. Fair enough, though the Chiefs are quite the exception to the rule given they have a QB a tier above any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 33 for that matter since he is locked for 2024 as well. That reeks of a bad contract/decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - it's not great but it's not terrible; the Fletch contract on the other hand I could've done without, I think that's the major mistake so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I mean couldn't there be alternatives to it? Using that money on CJGJ since we had the opportunity to match and draft a CB in the 1st? Having an early pick should help in that regard.

The contract does look rough with the age but that would've been tough on the defense to lose him also. This at least gives Howie a season or two to get our solution. Maybe we get lucky and the solution is already here in Greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
