I’d be down to release McLeod and curry to be able to sign Mathieu. He fits our scheme so perfect. McLeod takes 10 mill off our books next season. Curry 10 mill. Saves 20 million for next season and we get the better upgrade at safety. Better yet trade curry to browns.

Curry cut
2018 - $5 Million
2019 - $10.5 Million

June1 Curry Cut
2018 - $8.5 Million
2019 - $7.25 Million

Cutting McLeod now actually lowers our cap space due to dead cap. Cutting him next year saves 5 Million.

I'm told that Patrick Robinson's new deal with the Saints will be for four years, $20 million with $10 million guaranteed, $8 million in the first year with $2 million due on the third day of the league year in 2019 (for injury). The Eagles actually offered more money overall but the Saints offered more guaranteed.

Curry was one of the best run defending DE's in the NFL last season. Conversely, Bennett is better at rushing the passer but MUCH worse at run defending.

They gave Curry a 15/20 for run defense and Bennett a 17....

Why? Mathieu is more of a slot corner than a safety and he's gonna want big bucks.

We should just address the slot in the draft.

Bleacher report lol.

The Eagles ranked MUCH better when they Curry's way than the Seahawks when they ran Bennett's way. 

  Outside (Towards Sideline) Offensive Tackle
TEAM ALY Rank ALY Rank
PHI (Curry) 2.44 2 2.82 4
SEA (Bennett) 3.1 7 4.78 30

 


You could say that Curry was more fresh, but he played more run stopping downs (1st and 2nd) than pass rushing downs.

Who cares that its BR... the guys doing the grading are knowledgeable and watch every snap. 

And, that's a team stat, plus Curry also didn't just line up at LDE.

You can try and spin it however you want. Bennett isn't a much worse run defender.... if he even is worse at all which he probably wasn't.

He makes a lot more disruptive run stops than Curry. 

Not to mention Curry hasn't been a good run defender in the past, so not sure if we can count on it continuing.

No Curry, predominantly lines up at RE, and Bennett at LE, opposite ends of the line. That's why I listed it as Outside and Offensive Tackle, not "Left Side and Left End (R-DE position)

Go ahead and check my link for the previous season as well.

My bad. I got confused by left end/right end thinking you were using the wrong one.

Anyways, if you just want to look at those stats, then Barnett and Curry were better against the run than Graham.... yeaaaaah.

Bennett also moved all across the line in Seattle.

Solder to the Giants, solid player but an over sign...but probably what it took to get him away from the Pats

He’s now the 4th best LT in the NFC East, and highest paid OT in NFL lol

If Bleacher Report is fair game, than I don't see why PFF shouldn't be as well.

Curry #21 EDGE
Bennett #36 EDGE

Eh, We'll see, Peters 1. may not be back 2. may not be back to his old self.
Tyron Smith struggled last season relatively speaking. 

Trent Williams is definitely still better than Solder.
