bills_red Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 http://www.rotoworld.com/ Eagles signed RT Ryan Harris to a one-year contract.It's never a bad idea to lock up a starting-capable offensive lineman on the cheap. Harris, 26, will use this one-year deal to try to rehab his value and reenter the open market in 2012. Harris has missed 10 games due to injuries over the past two seasons, but he is an athletic blocker who will fit new OL coach Howard Mudd's scheme. The signing would seem to confirm concern that starting RT Winston Justice's knee isn't coming along quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It's a one year deal, I am sure he will be available next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappy Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yeah, this isn't a major thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_red Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Yeah, this isn't a major thing. yea we only let a starting-caliber right tackle go on a one year deal cuz we have a starting-caliber RT in Pears. Fitz is gonna get killed with the right side of the line we have now. O and we are only 20 mill under the cap couldn't shell out 2-3 mill for a NFL RT.

QCity Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 He's an oft-injured zone blocking T that struggled when placed in a traditional blocking scheme (like ours). Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offyourocker Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I know that he's not huge signing but how do the Eagles keep signing people?! Because according to half the fans here drinking the cool aid, the Eagles don't know what they are doing. Dont they know the only way to build a successful team is through the draft.

Malazan Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 nothing to add QCity? so you expect him to continually be paying attention to you and that after 40 minutes you could no longer stand that he had not paid attention to you? If you're interested, I know someone you can talk to you in a safe place. He can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_red Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) well said he was still on so yea. just thought he didn't cuz he was like "o wow i was wrong Harris is much better than Pears." Edited August 3, 2011 by bills_red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmalibu Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) well said he was still on so yea. just thought he didn't cuz he was like "o wow i was wrong Harris is much better than Pears." I dont understand why your nuts are in a knot over this guy. The best he could pull is a 1 year deal. If he was any better than the cast of "warm bodies" dont you think that 1 of the 32 teams would have tied him up for more than 1 year.

If he was any better than out cast of "warm bodies" dont you think that 1 of the 32 teams would have tied him up for more than 1 year. injury history is probably why he got 1 yr. but he is still much better than the crap we have at RT. I guess my problem is the fact we are not even looking at a RT expect for Clabo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpcolosi Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 more important that getting harris... they have howard mudd, the best and most under-rated OL coach in the league (also an alum of my college). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noplayoffsagain Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I know that he's not huge signing but how do the Eagles keep signing people?! very simple....they have an owner who wants to win and is willing to spend money to do so, unlike who we have here in Buffalo...Looks like the Sabres are gonna end up spending more in payroll than the Bills. Im not saying spending equals success all the time, but there were impact players available at positions we needed this year... When was the last time the Bills had a legitimate NFL tight end..Zach Miller or even Greg Olsen would have been a huge upgrade at the position. And tackle, obviously Clabo has been mentioned over and over. But thats another need position that the Bills cheaped out on. I know, I know, they like their guys...Heard it over and over again..Maybe they will get 50 catches total out of all their TE's combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain that the Cryptkeeper is pressed to tightly against the cap that we are struggling to re-sign players. And how dare... what? you say we're way under the cap? About 20 million?
