Not the proper comparison. 4th season vs 5th season isn't a huge disparity. You can say he was a horrific fit, but I don't think that detracts from the notion of paying a RB a big contract these days is not a winning strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets a big contract at 27 (8M annually) For comparison sake, only like 7 or 8 RBs are making more than that THIS year. Almost 10 years ago! And he’s out of the league by 29. DONT SIGN RBs TO 2ND CONTRACTS! lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeke was quickly overshadowed by Pollard I think Henry has worked out mostly if I’m being fair. He was hurt the previous year before last but he bounced back pretty well. I think you can see the wheels coming soon tho. This would be a telltale year I think. No one else really comes to mind though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the proper comparison. JT wouldn't be a great fit in the Eagles current offense. We don't need a bell cow RB who wants to touch the ball 20+ times a game and be a big part of the offense. I think our current RB room is completely fine. Trading and paying for JT would be a disaster move that Howie won't make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it would be a smart move financially. But it’s not like Howie didn’t entertain paying CMC. I can see him moving on it if he gets his price in a trade. And I doubt Taylor will care any bit if he’s not a bell cow. He gets his money, he saves his knees and is on a perennial playoff team. Why would he complain? Taylor and Swift are as good a one-two punch as you’ll see. Offense would be a nightmare every week for any defense. It would put us over the top offensively for sure. Howie’s got out of worse jams than overpaying for a RB for 2-3 years even if it ends up being a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year 6 as a Titan! Fit matters! Horrible reason for "Not" getting JT! You want to argue the positional value BS by all means, just don't use DeMarco as the excuse. Not saying we should given the current roster but the DeMarco Murray fiasco plays absolutely no factored with me.

Jroc04 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Either way Murray was done the year after. That would have been his 3rd year out of the 5 year contract he signed with us. So $40M for 1 good year. Not a good return on your money. It’s best to just abuse your rookie deal RB and then let someone else pay him his 2nd deal.

babyatemydingo Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'd like to see the Eagles bring in DeAndre Carter if he gets cut. It's more like to see Keelan Cole cut, however. I wouldn't mind taking a flyer (is it flyer or flier) on N'Keal harry. I know that he's under-performed as a receiver, particularly against expectations. But, he returned punts in college. That's a hole filled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
