or at least a poll for what our group wedding present will be

and in our division, the best part of that is .500 would’ve taken the crown last year. We won’t always win by 5 games by going 3-1 every month but there’s a reality that if we lose Josh for 4-6 weeks we probably aren’t chasing the 1 seed and are resigned to winning a very winnable division and letting the rest shake out in the playoffs with Josh back the difference between the 2 seed and a barely .500 4 seed is one game home vs away. load up a playoff roster and have a marginally passable backup that won’t go 0-6 and miss completely.

the real dream would be scoring more than 31 AND Josh taking fewer hits running

essentially trading him out for miller in a similar pay for production type deal- maybe a possibility. I’d rather his upside than VM at this point

I ought to invite you to my fantasy football league if you like that lineup

marquis brown is coming off 1 year 7m and didn’t improve his stock. so like 2 Hollywood browns and some coin leftover or cook

ill continue to say that part of his support here is because we are lacking explosive guys on the perimeter. Theres a fear if he goes that there’s no electricity left outside JA17

it’s basically impossible to have a guy that’s predictably a stud DE go at 30 you are taking either character or injury risks or forecasting them to outshine their measurables there

well it’s like a top 2-3 pass rusher vs a very middle of the pack WR1, right? we are just talking a much better overall player at what might be an even larger need.

I mean I think his points simply that it makes it unlikely they hop in the market for say maybe a DK metcalf/higgins (or who knows who else comes loose) now that they have McClaurin/deebo not that a 5 or the cash is crushing to them- just that they are probably done in the “elite wr” market and he didn’t like Deebo in that bracket

he’s had geno throwing to him

so I get why your head jumped to that “truism” of sorts but it definitely doesn’t match the thought process of my post. the problem I had is we already spent premium resources on pass catchers that target similar areas and he was the expiring contract that those guys more cheaply replace compared to that extension and it’s absolutely no knock on him - it’s just we have spent consecutive firsts on guys that compete in the same space while already having Knox under contract too… but Keon and Dalton haven’t come in on fire so it’s much harder to see shakir walk so you can spend the money on a deep threat or whatever else you have to think if you gave beane truth serum that last July his ideal 2025 offseason included letting Shakir walk because Keon/dalton/samuel really covered all the things he brought and he could spend 15m per year elsewhere. They did not answer that convincingly and he played very well - and we see a roster with a little weird blip in its natural progression here. is $15m per for Shakir fair? Surely seems in the ballpark but probably not how our roster intended to move forward to its next phase.

Mixed feelings. like the player. Definitely not priced out to his ceiling not sure whether paying $15m for this type of player is actually getting us closer or not.

it’s totally weird. but also I can only imagine what that dollar store employee has to go through any given shift. In most cases they are stocking, checkout and security by themselves and put through the wringer

yea I don’t see many acknowledging the rashee rice injury when talking about our defense not being 100%

nor is Mack hollins the answer even if he’s fun

its 1.6m less than his actual cap hit

to be fair, we’d open up cap space cutting him at this point in the contract.

the eagles core is not sustainable. They may make some interesting moves

I want to break points records without Josh having to mortgage his body as heavily as he has anytime our offense has worked the last couple years

I think at its core the only reason anyone feels the need to pay cook handsomely is our lack of speed/playmakers on the perimeter. he’s a very good player but specifically our only non qb that feels electric when he touches the ball hopefully we can find a receiver like that, whether or not we keep cook

usually rough situations take both sides pushing the limits of common courtesy

no one in the world considers ceedee as a slot receiver so much as an explosive receiver that can be moved anywhere in an effort to create advantageous matchups. put another way, he can do everything, while mcconkey or Shakir would struggle if pushed outside primarily.

If rashee can stay out of trouble, they could be a fun pair for Andy Reid that’s a huge if though

luckily, we are rarely playing catch up, allowing opposing offenses to simply run playing in shootouts I’ll take any edge rusher that can end a drive
