89 posted:I am really ready for free agency to get here so I can get an idea of what the Eagles are gonna do going into the draft and consider how much I should jump on the Corey Davis hype train. Word is, acquiring WRs & building the offense around Wentz is the #1 priority this offseason. I hope they can address WR in free agency so they can go CB heavy in the draft. I can walk to the draft this year

What would Pittsburgh even want in a trade for Antonio Brown? They would be stupid to cut or trade him for nothing.

That's what I was getting at. Pittsburgh would be retarded to move Brown.

a new study bible! posted:To be fair though anything is better than talking about another Patriots superbowl. Fair enough. If we're going that route, Brown has 1 year left on his contract, which has a base salary of just over $4M. His restructuring bonus, which the Steelers would have to eat, puts another $8.9M against the cap for him next season, and would be dead money if he were cut. Any trade for Brown will likely include a new contract. He doesn't save space if cut, but the Steelers don't need space either. This is quick spitballing/back-of-the-napkin math, but given where Brown is at in his career, as possibly the best WR in the league (or top 3, easily), he'd probably fetch a 1st and a 3rd round pick from an interested team. His next contract will probably end up being a 5-year deal worth $14M per year, on average, given his age (29 next year).

The Steelers are the team that shipped a Super Bowl MVP out for a 5th round pick because he smoked weed.

I'd point out that, historically, the Steelers have been very good about not trading away or letting leave players who go on to be amazing on other teams. If the Steelers are willing to part with someone, chances are they know something you don't, and you should stay away.

Totally disagree--Bryant is coming to the end of his prime and is on the last year of his contract. He's either going to need a big, new contract, or be a one-year rental. Meanwhile, Julio Jones was taken in the first year of the new CBA, and as such got paid almost nothing as part of his guaranteed rookie deal. Paying two firsts for a guy is a lot more palatable if it doesn't also take away a huge chunk of cap space.

Steelers aren't trading Brown. They know that Ben might be retired in the next 3 years and aren't going to throw away a chance at another super bowl

The Eagles won't have the cap room to pay Brown if they are already paying Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson.

I, for one, do sincerely hope the DeSean Jackson returns to play the game of American football with the Philadelphia Eagles football of the NFC East Division of the National Football Conference because I have an old DeSean Jackson Eagles jersey and I think I could finally sell it for more than peanuts.

Then they draft Dalvin Cook on top of it  Who needs a secondary with that offense? 😎 Everything I keep reading seems to be reallly leaning at a completely reformed offense for Wentz next year. Matthews and Ertz will probably be the only ones starting from last year.

We'll get 2 new outside starting receivers in free agency. Anything more will be a cheap old vet or a depth pick. Sounds like Howie isn't too high on the idea of using the first round pick on a receiver.quote:Howie Roseman was asked about drafting wide receivers at the Senior Bowl this week, and he offered a cautionary tale for anyone expecting a rookie to come in and transform the position.

He's not necessarily wrong, but he'd be RB1 right away. The collection of backs was largely because Ryan Mathews is made of glass edit: Eagles had more rushing attempts than the Steelers did last season by amount and percentage. All but 11 of the 438 were RB touches. https://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/team-rushing-play-percentage/2016/  shyduck fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Feb 8, 2017 |

It's too bad Ryan Mathews couldn't stay on the field. When he was on there, dude was a beast. Tried to do his impersonation of Marshawn Lynch every time he ran the ball. Dude's body is just done. He'll be cut for sure in a few weeks. Dude has my respect.
