Might be a few guys looking for contracts their current teams aren’t willing to give them. Grab another AJ Brown type with one of our 1sts. If there’s moves to be made, I’m confident Howie is in on them. I guess it depends on what the goal moving forward is for the team. Do we go all in on next year? Or do we try to build around the assumption we have the best QB going forward in the conference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Been hearing Howie's cap strategy and maneuvering was gonna catch up to us for years now. Still hasn't happened. Have yet to see some mass exodus as a result of his maneuvering over the years. Until we see this, why would anybody expect it to happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 The myth that the one day the cap will catch up to teams borrowing from the future is still floating around? Thought we killed that one a while ago. The great thing about borrowing from the future is that you can just continue to do it forever. Especially since the cap just continues to go up every year.

Do more stuff March-Labor Day and less Robert Quinn type stuff in season. I assume what they’ll do is sign Jalen but keep his cap hit lower year one to do so.

Been waiting for the cap to catch up to the eagles for 10 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense would need what to be dangerous? A couple quality starters and maybe a defensive stalwart in the middle. DT, MLB, S. That’s really not much to ask for and reasonably within finances. No? He wouldn’t have to push all in to be the top 2-3 NFC team again. But I think he wouldn’t hesitate if a AJ type deal could be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the defense will be fine if we bring back Hargrave, 1 Safety and 1 linebacker. Then just add players in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A playmaking safety or god forbid a LB that can really disrupt would be ideal. I don’t love where the D is but it’s not a worry. I wouldn’t expect them to fall out of the top 12 or so in the league currently constructed. It needs work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have faith that Nakobe Dean could be a difference maker at linebacker next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the plan is Dean to fill his roll at LB, Jurgens to fill RG, Davis to fill Cox and unless a trade or 1st rd pick is used on a CB, Zech McPhearson given every opportunity to try and fill JB roll as CB2. Resign CGJ and have him and Blankenship fill Safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Looks like Nakobe and TJ assuming he’s re-signed will be working with a new LBs coach. Wish Nick the best of luck, but kinda wish he got hired by someone else. Feel like Gannon needs a more experienced DC who will challenge him more to be different, but yeah.

That can either boost or sink whatever Howie does. A competent CB2 and making sure it’s not just JD & Milton in the interior and they should be fine. I don’t know, I’m more and more just in an “f it, load up the offense”. Take a RB and WR in the top 100. A CB at #10, unless one of those E/T drop.

Probably for the best if they are shifting schemes. Seemed well liked though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
