8.5 sacks and 24 QB hits last year makes him 10th in the NFL this past season and that's more numbers than any individual Eagle last year.

Surprised how cheap his contract for this year is.

When you trade a player, you eat all of the prorated cap hit on their contract from signing bonus. The new team is only on the hook for base salary and incentives/bonuses earned after the current year. Buuuut, Bennett has a roster bonus of $4M due this year, which the Eagles will have to pay if he's on the roster on 3/18. So that will raise his cap hit. He's also got $1M roster bonuses in 2019 and 2020.

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

Whilst that is good. I doubt any Egles lineman played as many snaps as he did due to the rotation system.

Players are fresher in the rotation system, the team will benefit with his addition to the roster and that's all that matters. O lines are in for a rough time. Just need to draft a couple of linebackers now.

Eagles DE snaps/percentage:

Graham: 666, 64.6%
Curry: 578, 56.1%
Long: 496, 48.1%
Barnett 424, 41%
Means: 44, 4.3%

It was more equal than I thought. If you look at 2016, it was more of a 75/25 starters/backups split, with Curry upping his snaps to 40% by playing inside on some 3rd downs. It makes sense, since the #2 team of Barnett/Long was better than what they had in 2016.

Bennett in 2017 was 934, 84.7%, in 2016 was 563, 52.2% in only 11 games. So he's used to playing a lot more snaps than Eagles' DEs. He turns 33 next season so the reduced snaps will probably be good for him.

Assuming Curry is gone, they still need a #4. Maybe that's Means. :shrug:

Not only is the NFCE the first division to have all teams win a SB. Its the first division where all teams have won a SB with a backup QB.


Truely the NFC BEast.

Daryl Worley.

2016 3rd round draft pick who went to Penn Charter and is still on his rookie deal.

I'm not sure why the Panthers would make a trade like this for a receiver who isn't good at catching.

I don't like the Daryl Worley trade, I LOVE the Daryl Worley trade. Sure he's not exactly a starter or even nickel worthy, but he's one of my boys from WVU and also born and raised Philly. I thought my life peaked when owen schmitt was on the roster. Now I got 5 boys on the roster. Granted I'm pretty sure shelton gibson and wendel smallwood are going to get cut and who knows if my old boy najee goode will get to keep special teaming, but it feels great when life imitates art. By art I mean my childhood playing NCAA football and putting up the delaware valley wall recruiting at WVU and then drafting my dudes with the eagles in madden.

I doubt this unless Graham is being very unreasonable about an extension. Graham is a core player and the Eagles try to lock up core players. He's only 30 (in a few days) so I expect a typical 5 year extension that won't have much dead money in the final couple of years.

From Kempski's mailbag:

quote:

Question from JPP’s Index Finger: Now that he’s been named “Executive of the Year” and won a Super Bowl, you think other general managers might wise up and not be duped/fleeced by Howie as much?

This question came on Wednesday. Since then, the Eagles traded Marcus Johnson and a 5 for Michael Bennett and a 7. Then they were able to trade Torrey Smith, a player every team should have known the Eagles were gong to cut anyway, for a 23-year-old corner with 25 career starts. So I guess not.

It's crazy to think I got to Philadelphia 4 years ago.
Thank you to the entire Eagles organization for giving me a shot. Thank you to the coaches and staff that have helped mold me into the player and person I am today. Huge shout out to the city and the fans! Thank you for embracing me and showing this dude from the Midwest what it means to be from Philly!

I put a lot of sweat and blood into the game of football during my time in Philadelphia and was rewarded with a Super Bowl Championship and memories that will last a lifetime. I can't say enough about the teammates and brothers I've shared this experience with, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!
Philadelphia will always hold a special place in my heart and I will always share a special bond with my brothers that brought the Lombardi to Philly.

Excited to see what the future has for me!
