OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Don't Cry Because It's Over, Smile Because it Happened (Offseason - 2023)

This is for you because I know it'll make you giggle @JojoTheWhale

Wonder if he slides back to RT



I guess Williams slides to RT?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Slay is staying. I’m probably not going to like these numbers.

Cox will probably fill the 3rd DT role with Davis and Williams starting, and a rookie DT sitting the pine for the first half of the season as he learns the ropes. Cut his snaps back 10 a game and he can probably continue to be effective.

New DC, but neither of those two was anywhere close to Cox in Snaps% last year. Like not in the same area code.

 

[DancingPanther]

Howie isn't done

Thanks for clarifying with that "so to speak"

This feels like the post Super Bowl win time where he's trying to run it back on top of the dwindling window to get it done with a rookie QB contract. Mayhaps this leads to not so nice things.

Edit Missus Slay tweeted that they're staying.

Means Chauncey isnt coming back most likely.

 

[BigToe]

No more round one CB?

Think they still could go that way. Will have two corners over 30.

Now you know how HC feels when I go full QuickDraw McGraw.

I’m still not taking Bijan, even in a mock. <3

You're tempting fate good sir. Actually keep tempting it cause I want it to happen.

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

Every offseason people underestimate the f***ery one can do with the NFL cap. Especially when a genius like Roseman is managing it.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

……

The explanation for this appears to be Baltimore having a deal with Slay, but Howie refusing to cut him. Baltimore wouldn’t take the contract, so he’s staying.

 

[achdumeingute]

Which I think is the worse choice. TBH I don't know how the GM is pulling off some of this.

 

[trostol]

getting early 2010's phillies vibes here

 

[JoemAvs]

Seems like Howie stll has trouble letting his vets go at the right time.

Oh well. Seems like the Eagles will keep pushing dead money in the future over the next few years.

Maybe Jalen does us a solid and comes in cheaper than expected. Otherwise these signings will probably catch up to us soon and cost us a year or two of contention. CJGJ is probably gone after this even though its strange that he is still out there.

I'm just glad his dime piece of a wife is still with The Birds. She's a nice lady.

Yeah, I still see them going D line at 10. I also think they trade 30 for a 2nd in the 37-45 range and a 4th. I can then see them taking a CB with the new 2nd.

[RockLobster]

While I like Slay, I really don't understand the thought process behind bringing him back. Especially if his underlying advanced stats showed him having a rough 2nd half of the season.

The guy makes too much money and very well could already be over the cliff at this point.

And people think you can play fast and loose with the NHL cap. In comparison, The NFL cap is a Noggin Boss.
