The Eagles have a curious situation going on at linebacker.
With Kiko Alonso now in the fold, the Eagles have three starting caliber linebacker on their roster capable of playing the inside.
Alonso, Mychal Kendricks, and DeMeco Ryans.
With Alonso and Kendricks talented and just entering their primes, it would seem that Ryans and his high cap number could cause him to be the next big-name veteran in line to receive the ax.
However, I’m not so sure that Ryans is a lock to get released.
At this point, it’s no secret that the Eagles are going to be making a run at trading up to the top of the draft to acquire quarterback Marcus Mariota.
In order to pull off such a feat, Chip Kelly is going to have to put together a package stocked with high draft picks along with attractive NFL-ready talent already on the roster.
I believe that Kelly will use Mychal Kendricks as one of the pieces to help him move up in the draft to get his quarterback, and stick with DeMeco Ryans on the inside for one more season.
Kendricks would be a very attractive piece for many teams. He’s an elite athlete, and he’s shown he can perform well in either a 3-4 or a 4-3 scheme. He’s a guy overflowing with potential, and doesn’t have any notable injury history.
We’ll know exactly what the Eagles plans are for Kendricks over the next few weeks, once they determine whether or not they’re keeping Ryans.
It doesn’t make sense for the Eagles to continue to carry Ryans on the roster at this point unless they plan to trade Kendricks. At nearly $7 million for this season, Ryans would be too expensive to keep as a backup. If he’s on this team, he’s got to be in a starting role.
Teaming Kiko Alonso and Ryans together would give the Eagles an extremely injury-prone linebacking situation. Chip Kelly had better be prepared to have a better backup available than Casey Matthews this year.
Don’t see it happening, if Ryan’s comes back he’s definitely not coming back at 7 million, your dreaming if u think he is, if he comes back at a reduced rate it will only be as a situational player.
Hasta Kendricks.
Hasta cox
Its happening. They’ll fill all holes on d via fa. Then give up players and picks for yota. Then they’ll be left for 3 or 4 picks in the draft this year and take a guard a rb a wr all done.
They’re probably gonna offer Tampa foles, cox, Kendricks and our #20 pick and our 2nd rounder. Tubby will go full chubby at that deal. Good d players an immobile pocket qb and more picks.
we will probably sign the following
Culliver
Ball
Worilds
Some cheap versatile safety
Franklin
And someone for the d line.
Jared odrick will come in to replace cox
I been said Kendricks was gone and cox alone should get you a 1st Rd pick + so that deal would be to much I could see Kendricks foles and 20th pick for the 5th overall then if his brother is there in the 2nd they may grab him.
Told ya the Eagles will not be at 20 on draft day.
Fuck that noise! Kendricks is staying
This Cuban guy Alonzo is coming off a bad injury. He ran a 4.74 in the 40th at the combine, which is,not blazing. Andy Reid had a fetish for Mormons. Chip has a fetish for Oregonians. With Graham and Cole gone he has to make up about 11 sacks. I will wait and see this magic that Kelly is brewing ala Sam Hinkey.
Pure, unmitigated, trash truck smelling, hot garbage!!!! Denny, you are getting as bad as pom-pom waving fan girling Kolsky! Just stop with the Mariota garbage, especially trading their arguably best young defensive player! GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!
So sad, the cluelessness, & stupidity, that runs rampant on this site. Can’t wait for my comments to be taken down!
Trent Cole should blast the Eagles if they keep Demeco. You mean to tell me that if the Eagles keep Demeco, coming off his 2nd Achilles tear who already told us after his 1st it took 2 years to feel right, over Trent Cole , a home grown Eagle legend who is healthy is right? Fuck that. Demeco has been here 3 years and played well. but TC has bled green for many years and is healthy. Demecos ass needs to go to. Find another leader.
***Eagles News***
According to my source, the Eagles will tender running back Chris Polk at $1.6 million deal for 1 year. Another team can sign Polk for more money and the eagles can decide to match it
If eagles would have offer 2mil then any team that matched it would have had to give a 2nd round pick but obviously the eagles are confident noone will
Btw Kiko is really a Right Outside LB that can play MLB because of his smarts, speed, instinctive nature and athletic prowess
Kendricks is versatile as well, hes more of a weak side LB though
But they may view him as too small, whats he 5’11?
Pay close attention to the guys Chip is signing or trading for at the LB position
So far all 6’3, athletic smart guys
Brad Jones 6’3 MLB Kiko Alonso 6’3 MLB/ROLB
Very telling
We’re getting a glimpse into the kind of MLB Chip wants
Get that BS outta here. Kendricks isn’t going anywhere
You really think its bs or you hope its bs?
Its real
Just like guys like Mathis, Foles, Graham, Boykin, Vinny Curry etc are more than likely on the trade block (what I’m hearing)
Dont get to attached to any player on this roster
How could they trade graham? He is a FA
None of the guys you mentioned is breaking news. Your source is the internet again.
-Curry has been on the block since he has been here because he would be more effective in a 4-3
-Mathis since last year when he publicly said that he wanted a new contract and because he has been getting injured and on the wrong side of 30
-Foles is what everyone is “hearing” because of the move to get the savior
-Boykin because he wants to play on the outside and get paid like it
BOOM jh put your source to sleep by bugsy
Better watch it Z….according to GMCLIFF you me and Jon Hart are all the same person BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dude that shit was crazy he went into it again yesterday did you see the post he was saying something to you but i dont think you were Around to see it…..and with all this mccoy trade shit i thought he would be all over it….just weird man
Chip needs to be smart and let mm fall to 20 right in his lap or just keep foles don’t trade up these other teams don’t want or need him just be smart and relax he will fall into your lap.
Again…Titans…phone call….”we’re taking him at 2 unless you offer us……”
Well Vinnie I call there bluff and say take him cause, even if they draft him you can still trade for him.
And if Tenny takes him……
And you’re left with a locker room filled with Foles, and Cox, and Kendricks who all know they were part of a deal with the Jets (or whomever) and who know they’re not really valued by their team, and who are all pending FAs the following season……
He will fall call there bluff they won’t have to trade til 10
I see our D come week one as follows:
Cox, Logan, Thornton
Worilds, Kiko, Kendkricks, Barwin
Maxwell, McCourty, Jenkins, Boykin
SOLID!
Ya that looks great…..but…..
IF the Eagles aren’t giving up Cox and Kendricks for Mariotta then what are they giving up???
Its wither players or a boatload of picks.
I’m not sold on Kendricks coming with demeco still on the roster and hasn’t taken a pay cut yet either until he either takes a pay cut or restructures or is cut I think Kendricks is gone.
Well I thought they were going to use McCoy int eh trade for Mariota. With McCoy now gone Kendricks (and Foles as a bonus perhaps) seems to make the most sense.
Here’s a question.
I believe, and I may be in error here, that teams must spend up to 90 or 95% of the cap this year. Correct?
SO Eagles myst spend about $45 million on free agents. Must.
Everyone here talking about McCourty, Worilds, etc. Generally we can all agree that those are great targets.
What happens if those “prime” targets sign somewhere else. I’m sure GB and Indy wouldn’t mind a player like those guys. There are a lot of teams out there with $$ to spend.
What happens when Eagles have to up the ante considerably to ensure these guys come to Philadelphia?
Or worse…
What happens if those “prime” players go somewhere else? What happens if the “prime” guys go to other teams and Eagles are left with a bunch of scrubs that they HAVE to spend their $50 million on?
FA is an excellent way to compliment an already established team.
FA is not the way to build a team.
Vinnie I agree with your post. People don’t understand that other teams are bidding on the good players. Then players have choices, money being number one but let’s say $8 mil vs $8.5 mil…then it comes down to geographic region, family, cost of living etc….
If we are all in on ‘him’ and fill 7-10 holes thru FA and give up good young players and picks I think it’s a recipe for disaster
The eagles only have to spend what they rolled over and thats,only about 12 million
gloomy, $15M+ from last year.
I just looked it up…Eagles have to spend 89% of the combined salary cap fromn 2012 to 2016.
The NFLPA site actually doesn’t have the Eagles “board” up yet (probably because they’re busy recalculating things after these moves) that will tell us exactly how much they have to spend….but I’m pretty sure its going to be a big number.
It looks like they’ll be able to roll $$ forward to 2016 (like they did last year) but this will be the last year they can do that.
Its funny that they’re almost in some sort of a twiltight zone “reverse cap” situation where they are “forced” to spend an obscene amount of $$ (and they will be force next year if they don’t this year).
Does this seem like a good idea?
Forced to spend huge amounts of $$ on FAs……and if the “prime” players are gone….might see a few more “Riley Cooper contracts” from the Eagles the next 2 years……
Vinnie I saw something on ESPN the other day… Lots of teams in this situation ..there will be a bunch of overpays this year…marginal players getting huge bucks.
I was thinking about the cooper contract and how we are all pissed about it. I said at the time and I really believe it now..Kelly looks at player value entirely different then we do. Dumping McCoy and jax fits his philosophy. He doesn’t want/need guys that ‘have’ to be fed the ball because they have super star status. He wants to have guys that are ok getting the ball ten times one game and zero the next. This is New England like… This week we run 35 times next week throw it 50….
I believe the 3 Year Window of Team Spending versus the Salary Cap and the Rollovers are now over.. All Teams are mandated to spend to Spend 95% of the Salary Cap Amount on Player Salaraies
Last Year the Oakland Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars only spent 81%-82% of the Cap Amount and have $50-$60 Million that they must Spend as Mandated per the CBA starting this Year
The NFLPA site says the window ends in 2016 and teams (by that time) must have spend 89% of the 4 year total.
SO I think there’s one more year.
Regardless…..as I stated, Eagles (and clearly other teams) are painting themselves into this weird corner where they’ll have to spend gobs and gobs of $$.
This situation might help to explain the Cooper contract a bit…Eagles “have” to spend 89% of the 4 year cap total, so they through some of that at Cooper. However, it does make the “cap cutting” moves a little stranger….Eagles, either this year or next, will HAVE to spend 60-70 million on FAs. No escape. (so will a bunch of other teams)
This is going to drive prices up. Perhaps my earlier “cap hit” numbers that were derided might not be as far off as people thought.
Some of that money could go to extending current players as well. So not all of that money is for new people.
From what I can tell and stated going back to Chip Kelly’s Oregon Days and when he was hired at Philly is that he doesn’t place a Very High Value on RB’s or WR’s and It’s all about the OL and Players Buying into his System which means they have to be Smart, Team-Oriented, in Shape and able to Run & Play at a Up-Tempo..
Look at the Patriots over the Years with very pedestrian Players at WR & RB… Belichek’s places a Premium on Defense, Special Teams, the OL & at QB with 100% Player Buy-In which is what Kelly is trying to do in Philly..
The Eagles will probably get two big time FA’s, the rest will be mid tier FA’s, stop acting as if every FA is going to be high priced that will push the cap…oh boy the dooms day FA scenarios continue..What if the Eagles can’t sign this…that…What if we can only sign scrubs…lol. The Sky Is Falling!!!LMAO. Relax! You guys do know teams have already been working on deals…the FA tampering dates are a joke as teams started informally working on getting deals done since the combine? I’m willing to bet Chip let specific players go with understanding of who he will be signing. Chip is a genius right…who thinks waaaaaay ahead right…lol…Relax.
Vin all of this sky is falling goes back to not using the picks to pursue Mariota, and Chip may not do that…just relax. But, I’m suspecting you are starting to realize what the plan is, you do see the writing on the wall, and that is what is scaring you!
Maybe I am wrong though and Nick has always been Chip’s guy….I am good with it either way…We will see though..no worries. 🙂 Go Eagles!!!
That is correct EHL…two top FA and then system players…chip is looking for buy in..100%.
*****Paulman’s 3 Way Trade Rumor*****
Eagles Send QB Nick Foles and LB Kendricks to the Chicago Bears,
The Bears Send QB J Cutler back to Denver Broncos and the Eagles Get
QB Peyton Manning
On a Side Note, QB Marcus Mariota falls to 20th and the Eagles Select Him to learn for 1-2 Years behind Peyton Manning…
No Other Teams in the Top #20 are Interested in Mariota at this time..
Vince Wilfork announced on Twitter the Patriots will not be picking up his option for next season.
New England saves $8.1 million against the cap by declining his option. With all of the Patriots’ other offseason commitments (Devin McCourty and Darrelle Revis to name a couple), Wilfork had to see this one coming. Big Vince said he is not considering retirement and coming off a decent season (47 tackles in 16 games), we wouldn’t expect him to. It will be interesting to see how the market shapes out for the 33-year-old. Wilfork went to five Pro Bowls during his 11-year stay in Foxboro.
He will end up Signing a 1 Year Deal; with the Pats come May
Rex Ryan at Buffalo will come calling as and offer him a bigger Deal, as will the Giants/Redskins but Vince Wilfork will stay a Patriot
Pats are over the cap and have to shed someone.
***Ex-Eagles news***
From Lil Jon Bron-Brons source, Trent Cole visiting the TB Bucs.
This would be a horrible mistake. Kendricks and Alonzo would be tremendous in the middle with Barwin and hopefully Worilds on the outside.
Hopefully Mariotta can play every position since it seems that they may give up every player on the team to get him.
Ryans should be the one to go. Older and 2 major injuries under his belt. I like him as a player, but who knows if he will even be right by the time the season starts.
Trent Cole sure is looking to win stopping in TB…CAPTION THAT…
One of the most overrated Eagle players ever.
Now it’s being reported the Chiefs are trying to trade Bowe and will release him if they can’t, that’s now their third starting receiver they released, the writing is on the wall, Maclin will be going home to play for the coach who drafted him, bank on it!
You’re forgetting the two stuff defensive players in Houston and Poe that they have to take care of. They can’t push Houston into another year and have Pie come up at the same time.
Stud
They also can’t go into the season with only Jason Avant as their only receiver
Blue Print:
Sign
(T) Bulaga 25 Y/O 7 year Deal
(G) Iupati 27 Y/O 5 Year Deal
(G) Franklin 27 Y/O 5 Year Deal
Trade Away
(T) Peters,- Salary and Age (G) Mathis Salary and Age, (DE) Vinnie Curry (NOOOOO),
Trade For (OLB) D Jordan and Draft Picks
Gives you
O- Line -Johnson, Iupati, Kelce, Franklin, Bulaga – Dominate -No more Short Yardage Problems.
(D/L)
Cox, Logan, Thorton
(LB) Jordan, Kendricks, Alanso, Barwin (Nice- Run on us I dare you)
corners and safeties?
i like it i think. peters gets u a 3rd at best. mathis probably a 4 at best. currry who knows maybe a 4th or 5th?
like what you did with the oline i think probably just pass on bulaga and go fisher in the draft
Would agree but we will not have a 2nd
Secondary-
CB- Watkins – Draft Competetion
CB- Couplin – Draft Competion
S Jenkins
S Wolf/ Reynolds – Draft Competition
Nickle – Carroll II – Draft Competition
Trade Away Boykin
Trade For Draft Pick
Can not be worse than Last years secondary- Build the back end over next 2 years.
That is a terribsle secondary…..no free agents
If you can get a Searcy reasonable money Do it
If you can get House or Cullens at Value do it
DO NOT OVER PAY!!
Offense-
QB I would keep Foles and picks but Chip well……
RB – Polk, Tucker, 3rd Down Back Sproles
WR 1. B Marshall from Bears for a 5th or 6th rounder. 7.5 mill is cheap.
WR 2. Cooper – (I would sign Maclin but they wont pay him 10+) Draft Speed
WR-Slot 1 J Matt
TE Celek
TE Ertz
yea ummmmmmm brandon marshall isnt coming here
I don’t think so either but Maclin is gone and Marshall is on the block supposedly cheap
he could be free and chip wouldnt take him
he will stick his neck out for his ducks
guaranteed huff is our slot guy
guaranteed matthews is our #1
guaranteed cooper is #2
I hate it but i see what barney rubble is doing here
its almost a lock taylor hart will start this year too
I think you ate right. I just throwing out options.
RB Kajon Barner Replaces McCoy.. Good Grief
Quack like an Eagle
We are going to have to draft some starters in the next two years. My plan is a Core of Money spent on OLine, DLine. A solid LB corp and then draft fill secondary but no Big Money there.
I agree with you Regal. Spend the $$$ in the Trench’s …and not the Skill’s Position… Chip Kelly simply doesn’t Value the RB & WR Positions and we are about to find out if he does DB’s
Plus if you are a Coach/GM would it not be much more FUN to have your Big Uglies in place and set for 5 Years along with QB.
That means you get to spend time watching tape of RB,WR,CB,S and plan to draft them. Tape of guys in the trench to get you by ahhh what ever.
Has anyone discussed moving Kendricks outside? Barwin and Kendricks at OLB – Ryans and the new guy at ILB – would solve the GRaham/Cole issue – Kendricks started outside and now he could blitz more? Thoughts? All the backup LBs from last year back off IR – draft another LB 3/4 round….
Hey inno i said that yesterday nobody responded but it could be a great move
I’ve wanted Kendricks as an OLB since Day 1…
He’s too small in thr inside and gets lost in traffic.. Have him on the edge to do 1 thing and that’s disrupt the backfield by penetrating and going after the “Ball” whether it’s the QB in passing downs or the RB on early downs..
ESPN reporting Joe Banner is back as special consultant to the owner… Eagles toying with idea of pocketing all of the cap cash, bringing back Mike Vick, drafting a policeman this time and asking Kelly to take a pay cut. Mariotta comes out of the closet and Eagles fans no longer want him; Andy Reid is going all in for him now. Watch Comcast later for the update.
This is a rare Chance to Build a Massive Pro Oline in one Off Season that without injury will see you the next 5 Years.
We need the O-Line as Chip is trading the Farm and We will have no shot at drafting replacement O-line one at a time. Also it is your best value for Dollar.
Regal I must say I like it alot but all these trades must be done soon.
Agreed. I would do them during the Legal Tampering Window once I have ensured I Have my 3 New OL starters commited
Franklin can also play tackle so maybe it’s another guard out there csuse Bulaga ain’t good.
At RT I think He is Fine. Lane Moves to LT. Possible you Sign 4 OL and Trade Lane as part of deal to get Mariota.
I am a Foles Guy but I Feel MM is inevitable.
My plan Nets You OL age 24-27-27-27-25. That should mean less Injury Risk and If you go 5 Years You are Looking at 29-32-32-32-30 and You will have Time to Start Drafting Replacements after 3 Years.
Current O-Line is 33-33-27-30-24- Peters, Mathis,Kelce, Barbre, Johnson
That is Old and getting weaker
Any Chance we Sign Suh or Odrick and Trade Cox?
Headline: Tampa Bay Sucks, Eagles Cox to Bolster D.
Imo yes to odrick no way suh comes here
Suh? No way… Does not fit ….
I dont like percy as a person at all but he would kill it in this offense
2 more months to go!!!!
Looking like Maxwell, McCourtey and Worilds. I love it I love it I love it.
If they find a way to land these 3… i dont care who they draft or trade at QB. I love what they seem to be thinking. Could be just rumors but I like it.
Eagles are going to sign G Lupati. He is a mauler and is good at pass protection too. I have a feeling the Eagles are going to keep Mathis and not cut him. I would say even Jason Worilds is a lock too. Mccourty or Culliver I believe will be signed too. Even someone like Brandon Flowers who had a good year with the Bolts would be a nice addition to the secondary. Much less expensive then Maxwell.
Dman he graded out on pro football focus as one of the worst pass protectors in the league last yr he will get a qb killed.
Run first offense
***Eagles News***
Both the Eagles and Giants will pursue safety Devin McCourty in Free Agency
I just figured out the trade with the Jets,so here we go the Jets are gonna lose david Harris to bills there gonna need a new young ilb so
The eagles send
2015 1st and 4th
2016 2rd and 5th
Michael Kendricks
Eagles then trade foles to rams for there 3rd and 5th Rd picks in 2015
The Eagles will load up on defense thru free agency and will providing our rookie QB with a potentially great defense.
That usually helps a rookie QB or any QB for that matter
But esp a rookie QB, who will obviously make some rookie mistakes. it provides a bit of a cushion, some stability and comfort for him and the team overall
I fully fully expect us to sign 2 CBs maybe 3 (they may trade boykin) 1 safety, 1 outside LB. They’ll draft their RB
And I think they will move up to 1 or 2 for Mariota.
Just know, when the eagles move up to 1 or 2 it will include Foles
No team that high whose in need of a conventional drop back QB would accept a trade without involving Foles
How stupid they’d be if they accepted all those picks including our 20th for this year, dropping that far down, but not getting a very good veteran yet young QB in return
Foles will be in the mix IMO
I won’t be surprised if eagles sign mccourty..Maxwell and worilds in fa… maclin will not be back. . We need to offer Chicago a player like boykin for marshall.
For what? Marshall is getting cut. Hes going to be June 1st designated
I love the idea of signing these defensive players, but can we send Billy Davis out of here to give them a shot to succeed?
Cya Kendricks
Stephone Anthony – LB – Tigers
Clemson LB Stephone Anthony “had dinner with” the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday, according to TFY Draft Insider Tony Pauline.
The Clemson prospect was highly productive for the Tigers last season, recording a team-high 90 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, 11 quarterback pressures, with one interception. With a solid outing at the Combine, Anthony has piqued many teams’ interest as of late. The Eagles have just traded for injury-prone ILB Kiko Alonso, with Demeco Ryans future still in question in Philly. Anthony has the potential to be a three-down linebacker and would offer good quality depth at the position.
Source: Tony Pauline on Twitter Mar 5 – 2:26 PM
I like this kid big time and had him mocked quite a few times as one of the Eagles 4th Rd Selection.. he will need a Season to groom before competing as a Starter but should be s Special Teams Demon and compete for Starters time by 2016 .. Goes about 6-3 248lbs with the frame to add 10lbs in 2 years time.. This guy is chiseled already.. Draft him Chip..
LOL!!….C’mon Paul!!…….LOL!!!
I think mcourty ends up back in NE. From what I hear (my sources—or should I say ESPN) he is a high quality, character guy.
I saw maxwell on tv tonight, seems very humble and a team guy.
We would do well getting both of them… Maybe too much to ask.
And anyone saying ‘get Brandon Marshall’ has not been paying attention.
I agree. I threw out B Marshall as a quick reaction and due to what I thought would be much cheaper than Maclin as a stop gap move.
I would much rather we draft a WR or 2. Especially if you can move some Reid Era players for 3rd or 4th rounders. (Curry, peters, Mathis)
can you get a 2 for kendricks on draft day?
That may get fisher
Very unlikely getting a 2nd Round in Return for Kendricks, more like a 3rd/4th.. F Cox returns a 2nd Rounder, Z Ertz a 3rd Rounder
Mathis a 4th/5th Rounder, Celek a 4th/5th Rounder
Peters a 2nd Rounder, Boykin a 5th Roundrr

Reports are browns moving up for mariota plz do they have2 1st rd picks more ammo then us
There are 3 teams at the moment with equal or more cash than the birds .Jacksonville ,Oakland ,Cleveland .Midwest ,south,and west ,dreck ,dreck and turmoil teams ..one east coast team ,the Eagles are putting all there Chips on the Table ..It’s exciting to be on a cliff ,but I must admit ,it’s a bit uncommon for a twice 10-6 team ..Look at the list of the other 3 cash rich teams ..That can’t be said ,not even close ? So you’d figure a high caliber player would have little trouble in his choice.When you can get cash and a shot at the big prize that’s a parlay hard to turn away from.The patience Chip shows ,will be key in this poker game .Hes already shown himself to be a bit of a gunslinger ..I’ll be curious how he navigates this poker game ..Has he been telling everyone in ear shot how he thinks Mariotta is special to raise the anti on his boy ,or does he feel he needs this last piece to fill out his duck pond? He has a vision ,and I’m along with all of you ,along for the ride..Who will be the first prize blue ribbon player the Eagles covet most in FA ? Worlids ..mccourtey and maxwell .Lets assume the highest paid being McCourty ..,we ultimately traded shady for McCourty and kiko …looks better in that vain for sure ..I’d say it’s 70/30 we stay put ,in the draft ..but really wtf has been the main adjective of late ..loving this shit..
The other way of looking at it is the opposite Desert for argument sake
Some Players and mostly Agents may get scared off with the Eagles believing that they are not a Team who honors their Contracts..
Last Year D-Jax goes from $30 million left for 3 Seasons to a 2 Year $16 Million Deal with Redskins..
Trent Cole had $37 Million left on his 3 Years, etc. etc…
Now McCoy moved wIth 3 Years on his Deal too..
It’s one thing to cut Players in their Final Contract Season as they get older
But the Eagles may be getting known as a Team that will keep you for 2-3 Years and cut the chord…
Also it may mean a little more when the Person making the $$$ Decisions is also your Head Coach.. Some Players & Agents may not be all that comfortable with that situation…
Sorry but thats nonsense Paulman….Tampa Bay is already shopping their prized G from last offseasons spending…Chiefs are cutting Dwayne Bowe after resigning him and giving Brandon Flowers the boot in the process…
Teams do it all the time….as good as McCoy is/was for the Birds….this isnt Brian Dawkins getting let go.
Trent Cole Herremans and Williams will get half of what they were getting here.
After the furor bogs down no one is going to bat an eyelash.
And nonsense on what the players think…any real player about their business will tell you….Once your guaranteed money is gone….you have no security…
Paul doesn’t pay attention to the market… Never pays attention to how business is done….
Let’s see Vince wilfork, mcourty, maxwell, polamalu …
