Anyone know if hollister plays STs? if he does, than I think he’s a better version of Gilliam 63% of special team snaps last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles are asking way too much if they want a 3rd and The Bills shouldnt accept that. The asking price will come down Beane won’t overpay. Ertz is most likely going to be traded or released. Asking price comes down, he’s traded. If released who knows where his landing spot will be. Sucks that we have a chance to make strides, but the cap is a problem. At least self imposed not wanting to mortgage the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we are set at this time to win a lot of games. We clearly are a few players short from beating the defending AFC champs who were dismantled by the Bucs. Will have cap relief in a season or two. Need to be creative and get the guys who will make a difference. Need a better pass rush and running game. Better pass rush takes the pressure off the remaining defenders and allows then to do their jobs. A better running game takes the pressure off Josh and keeps us from being a one-dimensional offense and too predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are returning most of our team that went 13-3. Beane has Allen and Diggs contracts coming up. Can’t be clogging up future years with restructures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 At this point any teams with potential interest in Ertz would have a tough time absorbing his $8+M cap hit. A team like Indy comes to mind as having enough room, but an $8M cap hit is a very tough contract to squeeze onto your roster @ this point in FA. I think most of the league also understands that the Eagles are 100% releasing Ertz if they aren't able to trade him & I predict that his release would come relatively soon. Holding onto a player you clearly intend on releasing and then dumping him a week or 2 after the FA $ has dried up is viewed as a pretty dirty move, so the Eagles aren't helping their external image amongst players any. Also the Eagles have no cap space, so they'll need that $8M in cap room to plug a couple of holes with guys that are available right now that might not be around in a week or 2. I think Beane understands all of this, which is why he's not budging off his late round pick offer or maybe a mid round swap......and that's absolutely the right move by Beane. Howie Roseman is a poker player that bluffs too often & Beane is much too calculated to fall for it. I'd be shocked if Ertz is an Eagle by the end of this month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they release him without getting, say, a fifth — a real possibility now — that is some very bad GMing by Roseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said earlier in this thread, I get not mortgaging the future. It sucks this is the year a few pieces could put us over the top. We have to beat the Chiefs to get to the SB. Unless Epenesa shines this year and we manufacture a pass rush, we will win a lot of games, but concerned about making it further. With the cap going up in a year or two, don’t see us hurting ourselves long term with some cap manipulation this year.

I don't see how the cap has been a problem. We have re-signed who we wanted and obviously are trying to get Ertz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo03 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Even if we did back out of the trade, if Howie Roseman gets desperate enough I think he will call Beane again and take less instead of releasing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Ertz is still available. The Bills probably still very much want him. The Eagles price will go down. Not sure how much Bills price will go up if at all. It’s just a game of chicken and Beane is better at this than Roseman. Doesn’t mean Bills will get Ertz for sure but they still very much want a vet TE and Ertz is very likely to be on another team. Oh, and Engram stinks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconator Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I believe Ertz will be traded. I believe Ertz will be traded to Buffalo. I think it will happen soon. However...

Stadium is about 13 mins away from airport. I'm assuming they would stay near the stadium. For anyone with instagram, check Ertz's instagram story. Something may have happened last night.
