I definitely think he's earned the extension. And he's young enough + the contract is short enough that if he continues to flourish, another monster payday could possibly follow.
You got your wish. The extension goes through the 2027 season. He will be around 28-29. That would be his first 7 years in the NFL at an average annual value of 14.25 million. Sign me up for that kind of salary and production they’ll get out of this contract.
Time to dust off those Super Bowl VCR tapes.....
Why do you do Cowboys shit in every Eagles thread? It’s gotten really gay.
over the years,most of the nfc east teams humiliated Dallas in the playoffs,skins 2 times ,eagles once
We've been kicking the can down the road for at least 10 years now....
Take a look at last year. You lost between like 5 or 10 guys that started for other teams including two DBs and a DT that might have kept you from having one of the most embarrassing, monumental collapses in NFL history had you retained them. That's the cap impact right there. Heck, even the 2 LBers you lost might have kept you from collapsing after watching how horrible your tackling was down the stretch. When you have cap issues you tend to lose depth. You only look at the adds and ignore the subtractions. The whole cap discussion started a while back and trading Wentz was the first bail out. Had you not done that there would have been an issue then. Now this year you traded your best pass rusher and Hurts bigger cap numbers haven't even hit yet. I don't have to even look to see that Smith's contract will have a shit ton of dead money after it ends. Signing players isn't a cap issue unless they are one year deals as the money is always in the back of the deal. Saquon's cap hits for his first two years average what, $4M? Its the dead money that will hit aftter he is gone that will be an issue.
So you think you still collapse like a house of cards last year if you re-signed Hargrave and CJGJ? And remember Slay was gone until CJGJ turned down your offer and then Howie switched course and signed him instead
Who said that? Damn your reading comp is shitty
Yep. The Eagles didn’t have poor DT play. The Eagles issue wasn’t not paying players. It was poor evaluations made on the guys drafted and signed to replace them. The only FAs that left the Eagles after 2022 that had decent seasons were Seamalu who went to Pittsburgh and TJ Edwards in Chicago.
They didn't tire down the stretch because of all the snaps they were playing? I heard that often in December
Tired of what? Getting beat all the time? That was arguably the worst LB corp I’ve ever seen and that was before Nakobe Dean’s injury. It was even worse after it. The Eagles were playing 3 LBs and all three were straight dog shit.
