Gotta hand it to Roseman. They moved on from Edmunds FAST.

 

Did you see how he got smoked trying to provide help on Hill on that TD throw? They had him doubled and he ran by both of them like neither was there

By far the best GM in the NFL.

And he never hesitates to trade lottery tickets (draft capital) for proven players (AJ Brown, Byard, Demeco Ryans, etc)

He's trading for a 30-year-old safety with a 14 million cap hit next.. if they don't keep them it's two pics and a player for a rental

 

It's not a genius move, despite being a good player

 

The eagles are going to be in cap Hell in 1-2 seasons.. and willl have nothing around hurts

No one will care when they win the SB and play Salary Cap Monopoly $$ in the off season 

Super bowls aren't won in October... It's not a guarantee they win

 

And they have lots of people to pay over the next 2 years which you can't play salary cap Monopoly with

 

They better win it this year because they have an aging o-line and lots of contracts to hand out... They're far from perfect 

 

And trading for a safety doesn't win a super bowl

He signed a $70M contract in 2019. That was 4 years ago.

And it was restructured this offseason.

-> The contract is now essentially 2 years, $21.5M. For an All-Pro safety.

And Philly only has to pay $16M of that $21.5M.
 

This is a slam dunk awesome deal.

Their GM increased his team's chances to win it all..... a worthy risk

We are in cap hell now, with nothing around Allen. Hurts at least got to a Super Bowl

That's only $2M more than Hyde.

 


Yes it is.

Whatever you say Einstein

 

There's not one team that is far and away the best team in the NFL and a 30-year-old safety is not the answer for any team

 

Football is the ultimate team game 1 through 52

 

Drafting Tom Brady in the 6th round was a genius move... 

 

Picking up Kurt Warner as an undrafted free agent was genius

 

This doesn't constitute as a genius move

I get everyone's anger, but as much as we need to upgrade the safeties in the offseason, it is not an immediate need. The Bills need to trade for a DT in the worst way. 


DT, LB, OT, and WR. 
 

I am struggling with the depth chart on this one.

Eagles haven't beaten a decent team.  I mean they lost to the ***** Jets!  They only beat Miami by 2 TDs where as the crappy Bills beat them by 4 TDs.  Of course they are trading for players. 

Just kidding.  Just using some good old TBD logic. 

Oh yeah!  And they drafted a S in the 3rd round.  Can you not see the dysfunction?

Unlike Beane who just continue to live off Allen,  this guy is not afraid of making trades of substance and is the best in the business .  Beane has been pretty much useless and all talk,  wants to hang on to picks to give himself a chance to continue drafting busts.  Elam/Ford/Basham to name a few

 

BTW Beane could have had WR Brown on this team with the second rounder he used to draft bust Ford.
