What'd you expect? Nobody wanted to trade for him before roster cutdowns and he's been riding the bench all year aside from the couple games that Hawkins was out. Trading him now gives us about an extra 5M in cap space versus releasing him after the season so I'm just glad we we're able to move...

The same reason any player takes any deal before they hit FA. They get their money & contract now versus risking an injury or some other factor affecting their contract. It's safer to take a slightly lower number and sign earlier.

Fair but we have lots of cap space and we have to use it somewhere. Looking ahead at the free agent class next year it seems like there will be a few decent safeties available while many other positions are quite weak. Bryan Cook and Ronnie Hickman standout to me. No matter how deep the position...

I mean his age concern is still valid, finding someone who could be a longer term fit is more appealing and signing any player after the age of 30 to any multi year contract has a higher risk.

It's still 12M APY no matter how they decide to move it around. If they gave him a big signing bonus itll be because thats what Marcus and his agent negotiated. I know some others disagree but 12M APY is lower than I expected, I think thats a great deal for us. Top slots are making ~13M APY...

Good deal for us

I think you're pretty close. Gonzo & Marcus might cost slightly more. Boutte will certainly cost more if he keeps playing the way he's been playing. Id expect between 15-20M/year

That 2nd round after White was full of disappointments & busts. Rashee Rice is the best of the bunch taken 9 picks later. But god damn that 3rd round immediately after Mapu went Byron Young, Tucker Kraft, and Josh Downs, followed by De'Von Achane a few picks later...

It'd actually only be about 35M in dead cap hit in 2026 if he's traded, but yea still wont happen.

I completely agree about Hendrickson, he'd be perfect for the defense, total game changer. 2nd + White is exactly what I was thinking as well. If you can get Olave for that price I'd do it but I think he'd cost more. Don't see why they'd downgrade talent for just a 4th. I'm happy with our...

He had two sacks yesterday. He's 9th in the NFL in pressures, and 9th in PFF Pass Rushing grade. 17.5 sacks in each of the last two years. Barmore and Williams are amazing in the middle, and Landry plays great in the scheme, but having a top edge rusher on the other side who can really generate...

Go get Trey Hendrickson. Bengals may be more willing to move him now with the way their season is going. I'd give up our 2nd rounder, he'd be a game changer for this defense.

https://overthecap.com/calculator/philadelphia-eagles It wouldn't affect their cap this year, they would still be on the hook for the rest of his signing bonus but that would hit their cap next year, and the remainder of his options would come off the books for them opening up lots of space the...

That dead cap is if he were to be cut, its much less if he were traded.

I'd like to keep Boutte but if it came to it I would do Boutte, a 2nd, and a 4th. Brown is also already locked up at a reasonable cap number

Coverage has been as much of an issue for them as tackling

I'm in on Styles, thats the kind of playmaker our defense needs. A playmaking athletic Collins type linebacker behind Barmore and Williams could cause some chaos

I wonder if Zak Kuhr having to take on the coordinator role has had an impact on the coaching and performance of our inside linebackers

That would be nice, but I think we're okay at WR at this point. Boutte, Diggs, Douglas, Williams, Chism seem like a serviceable group that we can stick with and see how they develop for the next couple years. Always wanna add talent, but we've invested a lot of resources at WR the last 5 years...

If Barmore is good to go which feels like the expectation based interviews/reports this offseason I think we will be okay but I do expect more depth and a better nose tackle (tonga upgrade) to be a priority in the draft next year. I expect the depth chart to look like: Barmore Williams Farmer...
