Only difference is that the Eagles sign blue chip talent, not Bernard types.

Who are the blue chippers the Eagles have signed?

Obviously, this can be manipulated in the off-season, but then you take on dead money.  Here’s were we currently stand with certain players
 

17 mil - Dawson Knox

11.5 mil - Taron Johnson

11 mil - Matt Milano (dead money, not on the roster)

9.75 mil - Curtis Samuel 

7.2 mil - Joey Bosa (dead money, not on the roster)

4.8 mil - Connor McGoverns (dead money, not on the roster)

4 mil - Taylor Rapp

3.7 mil - DaQuan Jones (dead money, not on the roster)

2.8 mil - AJ Epenesa (dead money, not on the roster)

2.5 mil - Larry Ogunjobi (dead money, not on the roster)

 

That’s 74 million of our cap for next year.   

Thanks for ruining my morning the day after a painful loss.  Between Allen holding onto the ball so long, the line not protecting, and once I see the all 22, the WRs not getting open was a nightmare.  8 sacks and a couple of pics.  I wished I never stayed up for it as the second half was rough.

Team is in bad shape and going nowhere

 

The best move...even though I hate it would be to move Allen for a kings ransom and give it a couple years to wipe these contracts off the books and try again

 

I don't want that, but probably the best opportunity to fix this team moving forward

Thats never happening.  Teams have eaten far more in cap space (Denver and russell wilson) and made the playoffs the next year. Bills need to clean house on defense and that means Mcdermott too.  

That game was lost in the 2nd quarter when Bills made Davis Mills look like an All Pro.

We unfortunately need an HUGE salary purge and a rebuild.  We have no/low talent and somehow no cap space.  However I ask - what will change if we keep McD and draft small, slow, unexplosive players whom McD doesn’t trust to start??

 

palmer should be on the cut list- he makes nearly 12 million and has what 12 catches!?

 

Oliver has a huge cap number, he makes more than former all pro Q Williams and would free up 12 million.  He is hurt half the time and only makes an impact the  half he does play.  He also has trade value.  I’d move him for a mid round pick 
 

I love Spencer brown but we’d also save 15 million moving on from him.  He should also bring a nice draft pick in return. And if we draft well we should be able to replace him with a 2nd round rookie

That is because we can only make adjustments at halftime and not in game.  The best thing that happened to this D in the second half was when Benard got hurt (sorry to say and hope he gets better) but Thompson was way better and the Texans run game really wasn't a factor once that happened.  

 

McDermott and Beane walk around and act like they have won something...in my eyes they haven't won didley until they win a Superbowl.  Fire them all and start over.  There is a reason why we bring back a lot of older players because they aren't good enough to sign anywhere else.

The result of building your team to beat one team by handing out A contracts to B players and B contracts to C players, while also whiffing on top draft picks.

 

I wonder if it was an afterthought on the front office that there are 14 other teams in the conference that are building their teams? Or did they think Josh Allen could elevate an offense full of B and C players?

Get a new GM who can actually evaluate talent.  Take the big hit and cut players and depend on draft picks for a year.

 

This running it back / retool BS has helped put us where we are.  We aren't winning a superbowl soon so blow it up
