The clock is ticking until the 4pm official start time for NFL free agency. The Eagles have secured cornerback Maxwell by overspending, and retained two of their own in Graham and Sanchez. Gore, is he or he is not an Eagle? I would get his rationale for cold feet; a few Eagle fans are getting that syndrome with how Chip has approached the off season.
What exactly is the plan with this football team? Somehow the Eagles not just in Philadelphia but from a national perspective have become the team that everyone is watching. “Trust in Chip,” has everyone wondering what he is going to do next.
The actual free agency period has yet to start, but with the “tampering” period we have a good sense of what players are still left for the Eagles to add. The biggest concern has to be the talent left at the wide receiver position. The current list could see the additions of veterans such as Bowe and Mike Wallace, but as it stands the biggest name to add would be Michael Crabtree. I can’t see Harvin or Andre Johnson coming to Philadelphia, I like the Colts to sign Johnson and Chip would be an absolute hypocrite to sign Harvin with all of his character issues. Crabtree is not Maclin, and even with the Eagles current wide receiver depth, other teams have it worse, and will be even more desperate to overpay for Crabtree.
Who are the players you want coming to Philadelphia? Running back, wide receiver, cornerback, safety, offensive guard; yes the Eagles have a good bit of salary cap to use up, but a ton of positions they need to fill.
Is free agency even the biggest part of the offseason? No matter the names we sign and who signs elsewhere, the conversation that will still be left unanswered is the potential blockbuster trade to move up and draft Marcus Mariota.
FA about to start!
I can see Jon Hart right now…sitting in his “war room”
4 unplugged phones arrayed in front of him.
He’s ready!
talking to agents, players and chip himself!
Where’s Howard Eskin in all this..
Sign another CB (?) and S (Gilcrest) over the next few days and the defense is done going into the draft. It would be nice to sign a vet WR. In the draft you can find a RG, WR and RB – even if Chip moves up for Mariota. (A combination of #1 picks + Foles + Kendricks could get that done). There will be a number of really good RBs and WRs to be found in rounds 3&4.
Gilchrist stinks. He’s a Nate Allen equivalet.
Free Agency begins at 4pm
My time of year
I’ll bring you the latest news as I get it from my superior source and of course add my opinion
Let’s Go Eagles!!!
Im hearing via my source that the eagles have their corner and safety and it should be announced today or tomorrow
The agents of these players are known to be hush hush and handle negotiations in a respectable discreet manner and that they have extreme respect for the negotiation process
Let’s Go!!!
Keep searching your internet dummies, you wont find it hahaha
And I’m the loser?!
JH’$ Eagle$ New$
This should be our approach…get another safety and corner….and throw in another linebacker and wide receiver..solidify the defense and then get the Franchise QB…do what it takes…get Mariota!

RB Frank Gore signed a 4 year deal w/ the Indianapolis Colts worth $35 million. $20 mil guaranteed
Good job birds, pass on that hes not with it
Former Raiders S Tyvon Branch to the Chiefs. One-year deal
Birds are in on Ron Parker im hearing. Possibly one of the DBs signing here
The Titans will put Oregon QB Marcus Mariota through a private workout following his pro day, according to Alex Marvez.
We expect representatives from every single team to attend Oregon’s pro day, not just for Mariota but also for Jake Fisher, Arik Armstead and others. There is a lot of talk of where Mariota could land once the passing the top two picks, but we think there is a strong possibility the Bucs or Titans select a quarterback. Ken Whisenhunt does not have a vast history of investing in young quarterbacks, however.

Jon, if you want to make predictions, that’s cool. We all enjoy hearing each other’s predictions but please just give it a rest with your make-believe “sources.” You don’t have any sources other than the internet; otherwise, you wouldn’t be posting on this chat board.
The dog and pony show on MM begins.Its not even a scoop that JH can miss ,that the adjectives and superlatives will compare him to the manning test tube babies..The poker game is reaching it’s climax .
Kool/songs ..if as you stated yesterday that sanchez is more highly thought of by chip? Let me hear who is asking that sanchize be packaged in a draft day trade over foles…crickets?
EXACTLY…The fact that Foles has Teams looking to win now Interested should tell you all you need to know.
Foles is Much Better Than Sanchez – EYE TEST
Obviously, desert/regal…not Chip Kelly’s eye test!
Why hasn’t he established that Nick Foles is the unquestioned starter and Sanchez is the backup.
The money paid to Sanchez suggests that if Foles happens to stay he is going to be in competition for the starting job.
Backups dont normally get 2year $16million dollar contracts with 5.5 million guaranteed.
why would he establish that? what is in it for him/team to come out pre FA, pre draft and say anything–NOTHING-
Its already been established that vet back up qb’s who have won games in the nfl make about what sanchez got..can’t you read?
Yes they do you f-ing idiot.
2 years 9 million is AVERAGE backup money in the NFL today.
Twit.
Dumb ass
2 years 16 million with 5.5 guaranteed is way ABOVE AVERAGE money given to backups with ESTABLISHED STARTERS
Sanchez money establishes at the very least that he will either
a: Be a Starter holding down the spot until the rookie is ready like Doug Pederson was when McNabb was drafted
b. Be in serious competition for the job with Foles
Fool
He’s not going to be in competition with Foles, because Foles isn’t going to be on the team.
So if he’s going to be in competition with anyone its going to be with Mariotta.
And that’s where your idiotic argument about him being paid “starter” $$ falls flat. Because Mariotta will start play one of the first game after the Eagles shred the next 5 years of their franchise trading for him.
Mark Sanchez is being paid average backup QB money you dimtwit.
And he’s lucky to be getting average backup money, because he is a below average backup.
And how you keep saying 16 when the contract is for 9 is most amusing.
Are you really that obstinate, or are you like Jon Hart….though instead of living in the land of imaginary sources, you like in the land of imaginary numbers?
Let me put it more simply.
If Mariotta is here, Sanchez is the backup.
If Foles is here, Sanchez is the backup.
Sanchez just signed for average backup money.
9 is not 16 no matter how much you wish it to be.
The only thing that’s simple Vinnie is you…
If Mariota is here, Sanchez will start until he is ready to take over…unless he proves in camp that he can step right in..
If Foles is here with no new extension, Sanchez starts and Foles is a back up
Backups dont sign 2 year- 16million dollar contracts with 5.5 guaranteed with teams that have established, franchise QB
Backups aren’t signed to deals that pay more than the Franchise QB…
Follow the Money Fool…Foles is done
VinnieTheRimmer knows nothing other than being in Foles asshole all day long
Defend Foles all you want, it means zilch
Chip doesn’t want um
You’re the only one craving that man
Freaking fool
desert, even more telling…. sanchez was without a contract…. yet his best offer was a guaranteed 5.5$ for a backup contract????? meanwhile, mccown at 57 years old got a nice contract, hoyer is out there shopping etc….
desert/regal…there are only a few teams who are desperate at QB that you hear of with an interest in Foles…there were teams interested in Kevin Kolb…so what. The guy who has seen Foles up close in practice, training camps and games doesn’t seem to have much interest in him..and everyone is looking at Sanchez’s contract and saying that this is a lot of money to give a backup!.
How much money is Nick Foles going to get in his contract from the Eagles? …crickets and the sound of a dog barking for a bone!
Ive been saying Raheem Moore and Ron Parker as backup options since we couldnt sign McCourty
I stand by those names
Ron Parker is very versatile. He can play both CB and S. Has 4.3 speed. Hes a strong candidate.
We may have to overpay for him though. Hes receiving alot of offers and attention I’m hearing

ONLY BITCH IS YOUR MOM AND ESPECIALLY YOUR DAD FOR RAISING SUCH A LYING DELLUSIONAL JACKASS
HOW EMBARRASSING FOR A FATHER TO RAISE A LYING , INSECURE, ATTENTION SEEKING TROLL LIKE JON HART
Until the Eagles get their QB situation straight..and let’s face it.. it’s not a situation that either guy will lead the team to a deep playoff run, or a playoff win for that matter… so neither guy exudes much confidence from offensive skill player free agents. Offensive talent is going to hem and haw coming here because neither Nick nor Sanchez is a franchise QB. No playoff wins in the for seeable future with either guy.
Ehl do u truly believe that nick foles isnt or cant become a franchise qb…..hes showed he can be a really good and not so good qb at times but really do think he is and will become a franchise qb
I do believe it Z..sorry, I just keep thinking about that game last year, Foles through a strike TD..the Eagles defense stopped the team on a three and out, Nick went back out there and through a pick.right back to the opposition… I was done after that…then to many turnovers and injuries.. reminds me of Sam Bradford and Vick combo..not going to get it done. Injuries and turnovers will never get a QB the title of franchise player.
threw a strike
Its obvious he’s not a franchise QB…
Here is how teams handle rumors concerning franchise QB’s
” Colin is our quarterback and we are excited to have him. He is not going anywhere. The media reports suggesting otherwise are without merit and, quite frankly, ridiculous. ”
Look at this statement from SF front office and look at the statments from Chip about Foles…big, big difference
Foles is done…he’s not a franchise QB…period
you mean colin who is under contract? the contract signed in JUNE after his third season? that colin?
talk apples and oranges
So your predicting that Foles is going to sign a big money contract in JUNE of this year?
Forget it…
Foles is done
except for offensive skill guys had career years with them…other than that.
chip hasn’t really gone for A skill players if you notice– gore- who cares, apparenlty more money and yes a much better qb in indy…
Those guys were already here…
Chip has gotten rid of A level skill players is what I have noticed. These QB’s currently on the roster can not carry a team constructed with B talent at the skill position…and that’s what we have B level skill players and QB’s.
as i’ve explained numerous times- chip does not, in my opinion, believe in calling a receiver number 1,2,3,4 or whatever– he doesn’t want A player who by ‘rule’ has to be fed the ball X number of times per game- shady and jax were those types- not sure that mac was but at 11$ he should be.
I’m not saying i agree with the concept but chip, by action has said that.
I have never heard Chip say anything about not calling receivers 1,2 or 3…honestly, nor do I care about what Chip calls them..X, Y, Z or slot..I don’t care. There are clearly starting receivers on the outside and in the slot, the coverage the receivers command from the d backs dictate their order of priority. Chip may not care about the # of touches a receiver or rb will get, but a young skill player will as it will dictate their production and possible earnings on a future contract. Chip still has some college in him, everything he wants to do in the NFL is not going to fly.
X, Y, Z was being used as variables– I’m not talking where they line up– I’m talking have to go to guys–
it may not fly– but as far as A type players–
also, these ‘inferior’ qb’s helped these A players have career years.
B level QB play..that’s why he does not care about bringing Sanchez back..it’s his system…in his mind.
It’s going to be obvious that MM is going to be lauded and Tenny will bluff that they’re going to select MM if Tampa doesn’t..will Chip be able to sit there and read the draft tea leaves or will he be reeled in like a bloated duck ..this to me ,will be the defining moment in the Philly franchise.We will also get a feel if eagle green ,or $$green means more has a higher value today ..in FA..that’s an easy one ..JH what happens if your internet goes down ? Are your sources then sauces?
I love this comment I just found.
People wonder why Chip is hot for Mariota? He’s about to lose on two big FA targets because a bad GM fell into Andrew Luck.
AND regarding predictions i predicted maclin was gone well before FA, I predicted we arent bringing in a FA
what the fuck have you predicted kool? all you say is foles sucks foles sucks foles sucks foles sucks foles sucks foles sucks foles sucks foles sucks foles sucks like a chanting buffoon
and what have you predicted Jon? all you do is read reports/rumors on line and lie and say they are from your source not the internet
EAT A DICK BOTH OF Ya
All the incentives are in place for demarco Murray ,to accept $$ Eagle offer today ..he can be pitched that this will be his best means to stick it to jerry ball..makes sense ..this will be the Alpha dog ,chip has despised ,but it is intriguing to me
oh my…. Frank who?
Murray is not coming here. He is gonna get paid somewhere and that isn’t in Philly.
***NFL NEWS***
NY Jets to Sign Guard James Carpenter of Seattle
NY Jets also Re-Sign RB B Powell to a 3 Year Deal
Just read that Gore’s agent said the reason Gore changed his mind was the Colts offered more money n Gore didn’t like that Maclin left, he said that scared him on the direction they were going, my opinion, that’s bullshit! How do you know what direction were going when FA didn’t even start yet? He has no clue on what moves we would make to replace him, it was about the extra money the Colts offered!
Players Talk, Agents Talk… If there is a Bad Vibe going around or even if it’s perceived, it gets around… The Players have Options on where they want to Play and Gore at his Stage wants to Play for a Winner in 2015, not 2-3 Years down the Road and when you look at Eagles Offense Today, No Big-Play WR’s, No RB, Aging OL on the left Side and of course, the unknown at QB.. Does Gore want to play for 2 Years with a Young Drafted QB or Play with the Colts A Luck who is ready to Win or at least compete now…
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
I swear some of you guys are pure idiots…..Gore left for a better contract situation….the other stuff is nice…but the bottom line is the bottom line.
Colts came up with a better offer after the fact. Gore played in an offense with an abysmall passing game….no one more overbearing the Harbaugh…
Sources tell FOX Sports Frank Gore pulled out of his deal with the Eagles in part because he was more intrigued by the chance to play in the Colts’ offense.
Gore is expected to get slightly more money when he signs with Indy later Tuesday, but reportedly had concerns about an Eagles offense with question marks at both quarterback and wide receiver (after losing Jeremy Maclin). A source also said Gore also indicated to a friend he was concerned with what he heard about Chip Kelly’s overbearing approach in Philly. Gore leaving Philly appears to have also cost them Andre Johnson, as the ex-Texan is now reportedly on his way to Indy as well.

MILLIONAIRES DONT WANT BARNEY RUBBLE TELLING THEM WHEN TO SLEEP AND EAT
mhenski.. it is scary!!!
Given the 2 options with similar offers, which would you choose? One has a clear direction and the other has Chip Kelly.
I like the BARNEY RUBBLE comparison It fits like a glove.
I also heard that Gore was concerned about Chip’s over bearing approach…
There appears to be a lot of chatter about Kelly and how he deals with players. Some will be fine with kelly’s approach..some ..not so much. Kelly needs to learn to adjust, you can’t treat grown men like they are college kids.
Hearing that Tra Thomas was on Good Day Phila. this morning and said that some players felt that Chip treated some players differently and that there was a concern of a hint of racism with Kelly.
scary shit eagleshaslanded
in chip someone else besides me trusts
Lol, it is. Chip needs to be a little more flexible, if this word is getting around about him, his conduct is detrimental to the team. It would be fine if Kelly had led the Eagles to some playoff wins, but that has not happened. Plus the roster in such upheaval with no clear cut QB..not good!
Damn maybe I better rethink the Steven A Smith being a asshole theory. Geez Louise can it get any worse? Now what are the chances that Djax and Maclin and McCoy are amongst those doing the whispering to other players along with that sneaky ass Howie.
Lol, it gives one pause..definitely.
It doesn’t surprise me that Gore and Maclin both bailed (for sure) right after Sanchez signed as the backup to Mariotta.
What FA WR or RB of note wants to play behind a Rookie QB/Marc Sanchez combo??
Maclin bailing tells me he knows Foles is gone as the two of them lit it up together while Maclin’s numbers plummeted with Sanchez. They’ll also plummet with Mariotta throwing him 10 screens a game….not to mention the pounding he’ll take. The $$ didn’t hurt.
Gore has 2 years left in his career and doesn’t want to spend it running behind another “developing” QB who won’t be hitting his NFL stride until Gore retires.
Vinnie we agree again, that Sanchez signing threw everything upside down. I hate Mark Sanchez.
So Mac left Philly, a system he flourished in, to play with that bum Alex Smith…lol..ok. Mac left because of $ and possibly because he felt he was not made a priority in FA $ wise. may have been tired of the culture and having to be monitored during sleep, going to bed at 10 pm..what 27 year old man feels like dealing with all that? Chip monitors the players diet, Chip needs to monitor and modify his..lead by example Barney!
Oh and trust, Nick Foles is not exactly drawing players here either..do not leave him out of the mix.
Mac left Philly for 11million dollars…thats it. Serious grasping going on right now.
No, it’s some serious questions going on right now.
Serious grasping EHL because a 31y.o back pulled out of a deal when a better one he didnt think was coming came down his pipe.
Pure nonsense.
It’s ok to think that, I take it all into account and choose to think otherwise.
Agree
I wonder what Howie Roseman is thinking and saying to Jeff Lurie in confidence? “See, i told you Jeff”. snicker snicker.
some players got treated different? hmmm i wonder if tre remembers andy having a players council (of which he was a member) or that vets of 30 had two a days off, or that lockers are placed in better places based on contract size– players treated differently…. really? that happens in pro sports? omg the horror-
piling on after getting canned….
I don’t know, you would have to ask him that, however, he was discussing how some players on the team felt after that situation. I will not just dismiss what he says as sour grapes or whatever, that is the stick your head in the sand approach (nothing to see here) I personally think Chip has room to grow and show improvement with how he deals with certain situations and talent. he is far from perfect in that area.
Mhenski you would be on the bandwagon as soon as they start 4-0 lmao.
Tra Thomas is a bitter clown ass fool who was ringing Kellys bell while he was part of the team….take all this shit with a grain of salt. No hes trying to be on every sports station to play the Eagle dissension card.
How yall dont see through this is mind boggling.
When he was still employed by the Eagles he talked about the softness of Marcus Smith so maybe he’s unemployed by the Eagles because he has a mind of his own.
Sorry BigL but youre wrong…he actually pumped himself up on how much he taught Marcus etc….and he didnt start piping up until he got the shaft.
Stop it already…dude is bitter and would be meatriding Kelly if they kept him.
Have no respect for two face clowns like that.
Bullshit…
How do you know he’s ‘bitter’…
What does he really gain by playing the ‘Eagle dissension card’
The bottom line is that Tra Thomas was there in the locker room…he is a credible source who says that some players are wondering about Chip and when you keep a cancer like Riley Cooper…it gives some credence to that kind of speculation.
Tra Thomas went from angling to a position on the Eagles to dropped…..
Then was on WIP within hours CRYING….
NAH NO AGENDA….
Doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
Doesn’t mean hes right either.
Like Stephen A or not
Players do talk to him and he doesn’t just pull things out of air
Right or wrong, when you keep Riley Cooper a racist who cant play and
cut one of the best wideouts in the league in Djax under the guise of ‘gang affiliations’…I can understand some players having second thoughts about the Eagles
and for the record…
I dont believe Chip Kelly is a racist
He’s not Koolbreeze like I said before he’d line up with 11 Mexicans if they would execute his offense drink his smoothies and wear the sleep devices.
Perception is important
Riley Cooper is a cancer on the team
And he cant play
Its a problem!

Another Call by Paulman
Let’s not forget that the OC from the Colts coached Gore so when you add that with more money they offered plus them closer to a SB it really is a no brained for a 32yr old n a 34yr old receiver, as for Tra Thomas bitching about chip? He’s just pissed cause he dumped him, you think he would be saying that if he was still there? Graham resigned, Thorton resigned, the top corner is on his way with more players today, all bullshit!
I would not just dismiss what Tra said as bullshit, there were clearly players who vocally had issue with that cooper situation and how chip handled it…so i don’t think it’s bullshit. It’s just when people decide to speak up. Once out of the nest, you have freedom to say what you want..unless you are Cary Williams who does not hold his tongue for no one..kudos to him on that.
Andrew, this is about money and Luck, but his agent wouldn’t have added those comments just because, where there is smoke sometimes there is a fire.
BigL Frank Gores agent is Drew Rosehaus….who happens to be LeSean McCoys agent….NAH NO AGENDA THERE WHATSOEVER.
So in other words, McCoy called Gore and basically killed the deal, so yes there is a agenda at play.
Seems like money and QB played a much bigger role.
Any alleged bad mouthing would have just been the cherry on top to push him into the arms of the Colts.
Hmm…
There are conflicting reports on the deal. Seem the money may be almost identical. In which case QB and an ill feeling for Kelly/Kelly’s offense may be the contributing factor.
Have no problem with the first two reasons….
The last is nonsense…especially when a person backs out on a deal…..sorry that says a ton about Gore more than it does Kelly.
At least thats me…in my business world you back out on a contract last minute and sign with a competitor it better work…or youre done for a very long time.
There is no contract until it’s signed.
It says more about Kelly. Gore isn’t having a problem landing a new job. But Kelly still doesn’t have his running back.
actually no one has a new contract YET–
but if demarco murray (the top FA back) and maxwell (the top cb or near the top) FA sign with the eagles does that say something about kelly as well?
This whole Riley Cooper shit is a underlying factor as well, get his ass off the roster ASAP.
No Black Players want to come to Philly with Riley Cooper
Chip Kelly Decides it’s easier to Build an All-White Roster then it is to Eat Rile Cooper’s Contract… Steven A Smith coming on Eagles.Com at 1pm to Discuss… It’s Out of Control…
Somoans (MikeIupati & H Ngata) and even Hawaiins (Marcus Mariota) also don’t want to play with the Eagles now…
Eagles are stuck with Nick Foles and Matt Barkley
RB’s Toby Gerhardt and Peyton HIllis
WR R Cooper, Amendola (Eagles Trade J Huff to Pats)
and Cole Beasly (Eagles Trade J Matthews to Cowboys)
and have talked Wes Welker into playing 1 more Season
all kidding aside, what is the statute of limitations on cooper saying a mean word, having a mean thought and/or being ignorant?
big ben is a damn rapist and embraced back, countless wife beaters, killers even have been welcomed back to their teams–
my god I get told on here all the time you don’t need a locker room full of choir boys yet cooper is somehow the anti-Christ having committee atrocities equivalent to Mussilini, Hitler and Sadaam Hussein—
“cooper saying a mean word,”
Um..no. Way to trivalize how so many people feel about. Particularly when 3/4 of so many teams are black.
Look perception is often reality – and when you keep Cooper and release Jax, Mac (you know what I mean) and LeSean – it doesn’t look good – even if the REASONS aren’t aligned with what the perception is.
How serious is any of this in decision making is beyond me. But it seems to keep coming up.
haha….wow! same ol same Haveakittykat…”mean word”…that if said says a lot about the person’s character…a ‘term’ Chip throws around a lot…Good character guys…funny how some players “just weren’t the right type of character”, but a racist somehow is a good character guy? doesn’t make any sense to me.
There is no statute of limitation..next question? But if we have to put a # on it..how about 346 years. Next question?
lol
Riley Cooper is what gives validity to all of the mumbling that we are now hearing…Why is he on the team?
Final Word I am hearing is that Owner Jeff Lurie is moving the Eagles
to London and the Eagles will have an All-White, English, Scottish and maybe a few Irish Guys if they can find some on their Roster…
Ian McNabb will be the Starting QB in 2016 for the Eagles
Josh O’Reilly will be a RB along with Peter O’Malley
mean word, racist word , racist whatever– somehow i just don’t know how that trumps rape and murder and wife beating– if i am belittling the word, the thought the action then allowing murders, child beaters, wife beaters, killers on the team seems to belittle those actions.
as for no statute of limitations… that seems a bit stupid–
it trumps because the rapist and the wife beater aren’t on your team, the racist is!
but they were welcomed back into their locker room… are the people in those locker rooms that tolerant? wow– then they’d be signing kuumbyya with a simple racist who didn’t actually cause physical injury or death…
interesting…
and BigL I can agree with that wholeheartedly….
**More Colts News***

**Jets Releasing WR Percy Harvin as no Surprise to anyone..
Colts have a QB.
Eagles don’t. Losing Mac prob didn’t help as it adds more holes and you stop looking like a contender. But primarily the uncertainty at QB seems to be making folk rethink their stance.
That’s what a lot of this seems to be boiling down to.
A bird in the hand chip. A bird in the hand.
Man we need to get Culliver or Cox…ill even settle for Alan Ball.
Mark Sanchez is the root of all evil, he killed the season last year and the minute his signing was announced everything went downhill.
Most definitely was happy hearing about Maxwell joining the Eagles….Other than that, not excited bout much else.
Letting Maclin walk is understandable for the contract perspective, but not understandable considering the current WR personnel. still early so possibly they make a splash with a WR signing in FA…? The RB situation, no idea what they are doing there…Chip seems to have all the answers and as an Eagles fan I hope he does…But honestly I’m not seeing much from him to get me ‘amped’ bout the upcoming season…
But I’ll wait to give my opinion until FA and the draft are over.
I am not excited about CB Maxwell or QB Sanchez Signings
They didn’t get enough in return for McCoy (Kiko Alonso is a promising LB with only 1 Year under his Belt and 2 ACL Surgeries and 1 Hip Surgery on his Medical Charts since 2010) That’s an awful lot for a 24 Year Old..
Gore turns them down after originally agreeing
Maclin gone now the WR Corps is 2 2nd Year WR’s (Matthews & Huff) and Riley Cooper & Jeff Maehl to become the worst WR Corp in the NFL, let me repeat this, the Eagles Currently have the worst WR Corps in the Entire NFL with a ? at QB at who will be Passing the Ball
Their WR Corp is worse than Jaguars, Bills, Raiders, Titans, Vikings, Seahawks, etc,etc
haha, that’s real talk PMan!
Cary Williams I was happy to see go and Maxwell in equals UPGRADE!
As far as the WR coprs, you are 100%!
Paul – Its the NFL, no one gets good returns for skill position players with high price tags. The fact that they got an possible up and coming star for McCoy is awesome.
Regarding Maxwell – We had no choice. We desperately needed so solidify at least one CB position to go against Dez, ODB and djac. The reasons we give ourselves all of that cap flexibility is to overpay for a position of need when the time is right (much like the Patriots – see Revis).
Sanchez – Meh
I do agree that the WR corp is terrible. Something needs to be done there at some point.
cant take it— don’t mind paul he makes claims and statements without paying attention to the market… always thinks eagles should have the ability to buy low and sell high….
Teams with equally as bad WRs
San Fran
Seattle
Jacksonville
New England
New Orleans
Minnesota
Cleveland
When we DRAFT a Bell Cow Back that sets rookie rushing records Frank Gore Pulling out will be a blessing.
**NFL News***
Titans Sign Safety Da’Norris Searcy to replaced the Released Bernard Pollard
Titans Sign WR Harry Douglas who was released by the Falcons
NY GIants sign RB Shane Vereen of the Patriots
The chiefs will be releasing Dwayne Bowe today or tmr
I reported this in January JH, Get with the Program..
hoyer 2 years for 7million— oh man to be a backup qb– damn thats good money!
Hoyer will battle and probably win the Starters Job from Ryan Mallet who they Resigned along with last Years Draft Pick from U of Pittsburgh Tom Savage who didn’t show much his Rookie Season and is a developmental QB at this Stage
Gone will be QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, Case Keenum and Thadeous Lewis
Hoyer is a bum….Mallet will win that easily.
Hoyer is that because Mallet keeps getting hurt and the Texans can a win a game or two with Hoyer.
I think you may be selling Mathews a little short. His numbers were well above average for a rookie and he could very well have a second year leap with his work ethic. For all we know the odds he becomes borderline PB this year are not astonomical.
I would be willing to bet Mathews becomes one of the top five number two WRs in the league by 2016.
as it stands im taking matthews early in fantasy as long as krappernick is not our qb
Ryan Mallett signed with the Texans for 2 years 7 million. I doubt if they receive the same contract..Hoyer’s #’s have not been released yet. Both he and mallet will battle it out for the start, just like Sanchez and Foles will if Foles is on the roster in 2015.
sorry, should have said according to PFT he got 2/7, my bad..
HAC 2 years 7 million is Ryan mallet’s contract..he just signed that. Hoyer’s numbers have not been released as he has not signed yet.
uarterback Brian Hoyer will sign with the Houston Texans, a source tells ESPN’s Adam Caplan.

Brian Hoyer will sign with Houston after spending the last two seasons with the Browns.
The move is expected to happen within the next 24 hours, the source said.
Hoyer, who spent the past two seasons with the Cleveland Browns, will join a Texans team that has reached a two-year, $7 million deal with QB Ryan Mallett.
I wish the Headline was Koolbreeze’s Father has time machine, Pulling Out a good idea.
Regal Eagle- I will use that line in the future– when i do it will be properly footnoted
No, i prefer to be refered to as you’r “Source(s)”
EHL– reading disability here– yes i see what you are saying– they were mentioning mallets contract in the article about hoyer.. got it
I think people are over reacting to some of the moves that have been made thus far. Overall the plan has been pretty solid. Address the defense. The defense had five holes. By trading Shady and adding an ILB you filled one and upgraded the position. Graham is also a definite upgrade over Cole who has been an average pass rusher for four years now. Maxwell is an upgrade at corner. Personally I think the other corner spot is lowest priority. Carroll was a decent player in Miami who had a great camp and then got lost in the shuffle last year. I am fine with him as the other starter. And the idea that we would sign Maclin and add another WR in FA or high in the draft was far fetched. What we do need to address is safety and RB more than anything else. I would like to upgrade RG which was my whole argument for getting rid of Heremans for a couple years. I am even ok if Chip wants to go for Mariota. The issue then becomes supporting cast. You cannot fail to address RG, RB or WR with a good player in FA. And I also don’t think you should make any deal that gives away your second round pick. You need a starter with that pick or you are really expecting a miracle to find a starter late in the third round or beyond.
Suppose the remainder of our moves were to stick with Carroll as starting CB, sign Forsett and Rahim Moore, trade for Mariota and draft Jake Fisher in the second round for your RG. Of course there would be the Oreagle comments but would people be happy with the off season? That means Mathews and Huff better step up and Ertz better be starting.
Forsett doesn’t really make any sense as he is 5′ 8″ 190 and Eagles already have one of those.
Not getting Fisher with the 2nd round pick if they trade for Mariotta because they’ll have traded that pick for Mariotta.
im kinda hoping bucs get murray and we end up with martin
man colts gonna be nice man
luck throwing to dre and hilton and two solid TE’s. gore as a runner and blocker
add trent cole and possibly haynesworth
fucking indy man.
jim irsays crack head ass building some seriousness up there, over there, down there wherever the hell indy is
At the same time they have yet to sign a player under the age of 31.. in the NFL that’s where you see large declines in production. could be fools gold and I don’t think this helps them at all long term
ur right man. but nice moves for 1 or 2 years. to push to contend…
then they draft to groom guys under the vets…must be nice
The Philadelphia Inquirer calls Patriots CB Brandon Browner a cornerback “to watch for the Eagles.”
The Eagles need a bookend for Byron Maxwell after severing ties with Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher. Philadelphia’s pass-defense scheme is similar to Seattle’s, where Browner developed into a solid starter following a CFL stint. NFL Network’s Albert Breer reported Tuesday that Browner will not take a pay cut to stay in New England. Thus, he may become a free agent soon.

DUDES GOING BY DCAR, PAULMAN, CLIFF & BUGSYHAWK THIS IS NOT GOOD FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Not good? The guy shut down that receiver in the SB who was killing the Pats, that kid who was working at footlocker, he looked like he was gonna end up the MVP in the first half, once they put Browner on him invthe second half you didn’t even know he was in the game. If he’s out there I would have no problem if we pick him up.
You would once he turns into Carey Wiliams 2.0 holding and grabbing dudes constantly.
awesome browner can shut down a footlocker employee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horrible. I saw that he doesn’t want to take a paycut and that is why is gonna be cut, so they would also have to overpay to get him.
Ehhh..turn him into a safety.
Man i just heard the segment with tra hinting chip is racist im sorry tra sounds like a scorned lil bitch….the only reason cooper is here is his terrible contract and blocking.ability
