I like CGJG but his interceptions came early, and he's a bit like that CB on Dallas, more opportunistic than fundamentally sound.

I disagree with every part of this.

He had zero INTs through week 4, then 6 over the next 5 games, played a full game without one, and then got hurt.

He had more INTs last year than the entire rest of his career combined.

He was the best cover Slot in football for the better part of 2 years before he ever got here.

I’m surprised at some of the reaction to Mariota. They’re going for it again. They needed a backup that wasn’t a rookie. Guys who can run give you the floor you need to win 2 games. It makes perfect sense.

I guess it depends on what they think of McPhearson, but now both outside Corners are locked in for multiple years. So is Maddox. The only way I can personally see it is Maddox to Safety and an early CB pick in the Slot. Or vice versa. They could always move outside later.

But I don’t think they stray much from BPA among the positions they value. So it wouldn’t completely shock me.

How does CJGJ stack up against this guy?

CJGJ is better, IMO - but Love is no slouch. Similar age.

I thought Love would get around 8 mill per year for 3-4 years, so to me this bodes well for an Eagles-CJGJ contract.

I like the Mariota signing, but that's mainly because I knew we would spend a lot on a backup anyway (whomever it would be). Eagles just value backup QB as much-if-not-more than anyone else.

Hugh Douglas co-hosts the Mid Day show now & was a host in Atlanta last season...I didn't totally hear what he said about it, but from what I recall he thought it was an upgrade on Minshew.

His deep ball is cooked. But if you're asking him to be an accurate short-range passer who can keep running the same general offense as Hurts, it seems pretty ideal to me.

Minshew has no deep ball and can't move to save his life.
So in that sense, it's definitely an upgrade.

Okay so who understands the NFL Cap? I want to know where they're at re-signing Slay? I was really hoping they'd get CJGJ back, but I fear w/ re-signing Slay pretty much eliminates that.

According to my baby boy Eliot Shorr Parks, the Eagles have about 4 million dollars left right now after all contracts (including Mariota, Fletch, Slay, Badberry) are factored in.

They can get another 10 million if they re-structure Lane Johnson, giving them 14 million.

The cap genuinely is made up if we still have money right now. It's Whose Line is It Anyway.

Went back and listened...Hugh said:

1) It's a smart move for the Eagles. They have similar skill sets. He can come in and run the same offense as Jalen without really skipping a major beat.
2) You better hope he doesn't ever play. He struggled mightily in Atlanta. Wasn't efficient & Arthur Smith did everything he could to make him successful. Somewhere there is a disconnect in Mariota's talent vs. output.

If they did a new contract for Hurts now, how does that impact them? I'm assuming that answer comes with the question as to whether he's getting new money this year or not, right?

Pretty much. Not sure how to answer that without more info - but I'm just a lowly pleb anyway.

It's less about the understanding cap, than HOW the eagles apply all these contracts to it, which none of us are exposed to.

We have cap hits to 2026 already. As someone else said, we had Brandon Brooks still on the books last year.

I didn't say it, but I thought exactly that. After watching the Saints basically DARE Minshew to run, we HAD to get a more like skillset to Hurts. And Ian Book went to the same highschool as Steichen. So I wouldn't be buying a house in Philly if I was him. We will have some UFA, UDFA competing with him for the clipboard I'm sure.

The money he gets and the league year it gets counted against the cap have like no bearing on each other (not fully true, but mostly true).
