Bennie Logan is hurt. Honey Beau Beau is their #3 DT.

But Bennie Logan is a FA next year and may be difficult for the Eagles to sign, so this may be a glimpse of the future.

I've been all about Beau Allen since he was a rookie. I don't know if he'll ever be a world-beater, but he's been good, especially considering he was a 7th round pick.

I'd be fine seeing if Djax still had anything left at this point. He can't be any worse than Agholor. The drop % between him and Matthews isn't the greatest comparison either given how involved Jackson has always been in the deep passing game.

True, like every young 20 something he needs to learn that life is just a series of failures until you are stuck in a loveless relationship, a demoralizing job and up to your eyeballs in debt, waking up each day and eyeing the safe in your closet that contains a pistol while you get dressed thinking "maybe today is the day, it would be so easy, so fast."

Better not be a revolver because I don't think he could catch anything on only 6 targets.

I'm not sure what the hell is wrong with the Eagles WRs but I'd be pretty surprised if firing Lewis will accomplish much. You could make an argument for Josh Huff being the 2nd-most talented wideout on the roster* this year. That's hosed up but a lot of that is on Chip Kelly.

He had a 52% catch rate this year. That's not abysmal. Plenty of guys have rough starts and improve, including with catch rate. In his first 2 seasons, Plaxico Burress caught less than 48% of the passes thrown his way (88/185). Hell, over his whole career he only just barely caught more than half the passes thrown to him, even in his best seasons.

My point isn't that Agholor hasn't been bad, but that he could still end up being a good player, and that we'll probably know for certain next year.

Trade you for Dez Bryant?

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.

No. They really aren't

This. They need 2 CBs, upgrades at RB, a LT of the future and a bunch of wide outs. Obviously that's not going to all get addressed this offseason but, well, I guess that's the point. I don't think they'll compete seriously for the playoffs until at least 2018.

I don't mind the Britt signing if he's cheap and is going to be the #2, but I hope they don't use their 1st-rounder on a receiver this year when there are so many good options available outside of the draft and so many other needs. If it turns out they draft a perennial All-Pro pass catch man I'll gladly eat my words though.

The worst thing is if RG3 had Cousins numbers Synder would have offered RG3 all the money in the world and named the stadium after him. Cousins is a continual remind that Synder dream QB is basically a wash out now and it was a mistake to give up that many picks to draft RG3.

It is downright disturbing that they could trade the farm for RG3, have him bust and still wind up in a position to compete for the division despite it all.

The Eagles just signed something called Patrick Robinson. :effort:

I guess he was one of the Colts CBs last year? I can't imagine they're done at the position now and I'm assuming they just wanted to sign a vet to mentor young guys. Colts defensive backfield was a mess last year though.

Yeah, that was a great look for the team.

That might have said more about him as a parent and less as a footballs coach.

All this talk of rookies makes me sad that I'm not gonna have Gamepass this year because we're cuttting out a few luxuries to pay for another car. Say what you will about the entertainment level of preseason games but it's a great way to get an inkling for what the bottom of the roster is like. Like, is it all garbage, or do you have sweet, hunky man men like Beau Allen? :swoon:

I'm not sure that Ingram really adds much of anything to this offense and while there are better centers than Kelce in the NFL, I feel like if there was already one on this roster that guy would be starting. Maybe there's a guy who's cheaper and only a marginal downgrade in all that depth somewhere, I just don't see they're being much of a benefit to it. Maybe they're seeing it as the offense needs a bigger guy and not a lighter dude who can pull? The current compliment of backs doesn't really seem like it benefits as much from that though.

Am I the only one who's not expecting much out of Blount ? He's just hit 30 as a smashy smashy style of runner and his ypc took a hit last year. I guess he's fine as a short yardage back but I'm not expecting him to singlehandedly change Eagles running game.

The Eagles extended LT Jason Peters though 2019, when he'll be 37,

I think it was a great idea. Why get rid of someone who is still playing well just because his age indicates his play may decline in the future? There was mention of a possible move to guard in the future if he can't handle tackle anymore. I don't know how likely that will be, but Peters, Seumalo, and Brooks would be a pretty thick interior line at 1k lbs+.



Looks like they save $5 mil in cap space doing this too.

Exactly. He's not trash and there are plenty of worse TEs starting for different teams out there, but I'd hesitate to call him elite. He's somewhere between average and good. You can't argue with his speed but his hands are just okay and he doesn't always seem to know where he's supposed to be on the field.
