If Thuney is traded here’s the team

The Eagles need to save their remaining cap room to roll over to next year. They have the most money on the books for 2021 of any team, with not nearly enough good opportunities to lower that via cuts.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

But they also want to win and Protect Wentz.
I think we sign Thuney long term but if we trade him that has always been my top spot for him and now its magnified.

They're $50M over the 2021 cap now, and that's assuming the cap goes up by ~$17M.

Unless the Pats have no desire to sign him long term, I don’t think they should trade him because they will have a lot of cap room next offseason.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Keep him and build a nasty OL. If not ... Arizona, Balty, Buffalo, Carolina, Chi & Raiders could use help. I'm curious if any other teams see him as a full-time tackle?

Again though I'd try to sign him. Our left side would be set for 4-5 years.

I also would like a private jet but don't have personal cap space for it.

There are here many among us who think the "Cap is Crap"... led by sportstalk radio mediots.

I wish you had said something last week when I was finalizing my 2020 Gulfstream order.
Next year OK?

Seeing Thuney in a Billiards or Murderer-Worshippers uniform would be heart-breaking...

A quick check of their cap situation shows that Philthy also has plenty of room to acquire him right now...

If by mid to late training camp, it looks like games will need to be played with no fans or limited fans, or if the start of the regular season is delayed by several weeks, the players and their agents will likely realize that the cap number will indeed drop significantly next year, due to loss of league revenue. Thuney may be willing to lower his asking price at that point, knowing that few teams will be able to afford a $12+ million per year guard next offseason.

The report that multiple Cowboys and Texans recently tested positive for COVID is an inauspicious sign for NFL football this fall. I am not confident that these young adults with money to spend and people who want to be around them for a variety of reasons will, as a whole, will have the self-restraint and a good sense to not put themselves in high-risk situations for 5+ months.

I can't imagine they trade him for less than a third unless they really want the cap space since I am assuming they would get a third round comp pick when someone pays him a ton of money next year.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

If the eagles are spending 2nd rounders on backup QBs then I don’t see why they would mind trading us a 2 for one of the best guards in football.

 

[Joey007]

Eagles have way to much money invested into their O-line as is.

I see them more likely to sign Larry Warford for a 1 year rental.

That doesn't necessarily mean the cap will drop significantly next year; there have been discussions about "borrowing" some cap space from future years to prevent/minimize a decrease in the 2021 cap. (e.g., Instead of it dropping, say, $30M next year, the NFL and NFLPA might agree to keep it the same in 2021 as 2020, and then lower the 2022, 2023, and 2024 caps by $10M each.)

Wow. So, a shortened season where the 2021 cap is reduced would pretty much decimate the Eagles. I’ll have to check out a list and see what other teams would be affected in such a drastic manner.
