I think I offered 1.5 Henderson at the Giants for over 5. I offered 3. I cant remember for Gilmore but I only offered vet minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesPeteC Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 PHILADELPHIA EAGLES EARLY FREE AGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE: First of all, I'd just like to remind everyone that we won the Super Bowl. Now that we have all be reminded of that glorious fact, lets look ahead to our victory lap 2018 Season. With our lack of cap room we had to make some really tough decisions. We had to unfortunately release the longest tenured Eagle in TE Brent Celek. He will always be an Eagle for life and we are not ruling out a return, if he wants to keep playing and everything works out correctly. We also had to regrettably say goodbye to starting WR Torrey Smith, who played such a huge role in the playoffs. We really wish him well and know he will land on his feet with another team. We are also very happy for Trey Burton, Beau Allen and LeGarrett Blount who all found opportunities with other teams. All of these players played important roles in bringing the Lombardi to Philly and wish them all the best in future success. We also had to make several trades for cap reasons this offseason. First, we traded DE Vinny Curry to the Patriots for a 4th Round pick. Vinny has be a great player and teammate, but it is a business and we feel really good about our DE rotation with Brandon Graham, Chris Long, Derek Barnett and Steven Means and thought that the opportunity to save some cap space and gain a pick made too much sense. Perhaps one of the most difficult decisions was to trade Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, but after several trades left us with out a day 2 pick, the opportunity to acquire 3 picks back for Nick and provide him the chance to start in Jacksonville made too much sense. We feel good about Carson Wentz's progress and his availability for week 1 and we are really high on Nate Sudfield. We will certainly still look to add to our QB room. We wish Nick all the luck in the world and he will always be a legend in this town. Our number one priority this offseason was to keep LB Nigel Bradham. Nigel has played such a vital part on this defense in coverage, rushing the passer, against the run and as a leader. We felt we simply could not lose what he brought to this team. Unfortunately, that decision led to a sacrifice of future Hall of Famer Jason Peters as he was dealt to the LA Rams for a 5th round pick in order to open up the cap space to keep Nigel. It was an incredibly tough decision, but the emergence of Big V at LT and Jason's age and injury status made us go in the direction of keeping Nigel. Now on to the players we have acquired. We are tremendously excited about being able to pick up TE Luke Wilson. He is a great compliment to Zach Ertz as the #2 TE. Wth good blocking and receiving ability, we think he will be a great addition to our offense that uses 12 and 13 personal as much as any team in the league. We are also happy to bring in WR John Brown to our WR corps. Brown is a player that always seemed to have a huge play against us and we always respected his deep speed and ability to make a huge play. That is what John will bring to our WR room. He'll be the #2 outside WR and I think can provide us with a vertical threat in the pass game. We also traded with the Raiders for RT Vadal Alexander. He is a big mammoth tackle that will backup at the RT spot. We feel really good about the flashes he showed in Oakland and also we liked him coming out. Our tackle situation I think has a lot of flexibility depending on how the draft plays out. We have the option of moving both Lane Johnson and Vatai to either LT or RT depending on what we feel our best combination will be. Speaking of draft, we went into the offseason with 6 picks and only 1 in the top 100. We now have 10 picks including a 1st, a 2nd, four 4ths , two 5ths a 6th and a 7th. Our situation to provide depth in the draft is now much more favorable. The rest of the offseason we will continue to be shrewd and look to add depth especially on defense. Again, I'd like to remind you that WE WON THE SUPER BOWL. Time's yours..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really matter who our #3 is or if we even carry a 3rd? I get the Injury to Wentz but the only reason we carried 3 last year was Not to lose Sudfeld off the PS. Sign someone cheap, save that roster spot and place said QB on the PS. Whomever fits that bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
