I believe he is, but I'm not sure it really matters. I think if we can't hammer out a contract before FA, then we'll just tag him. I'm sure they will continue to workout a long term deal after that.
You have to apply the tag a couple weeks before FA starts. So you can't do it the way you expressed above.
I'd just tag him and move on. We have plenty of 2015 money available. We don't have to pay a QB.
Welcome, TampaBird!
Are you originally from Philly, or tell us how you came to be an Eagles fan.
I agree that Worilds should be an Eagle, along with 1 or 2 CBs, and a safety.
I haven't watched McPhee at all, but will pay attention to hm now. He has great size, but can he cover?
Then we can concentrate on BPAs in the draft. Maclin will stay here, and probably sign during the 1st week in March, before Free Agency starts.
And here we are revisiting this guy.
Jason Worilds to be targeted by Eagles in free agency, per report - Bleeding Green Nation
Sources over at BehindTheSteelCurtain are reporting the same thing... Seems like its going to be a done deal that Worilds lands in Philly.

I'm hoping that you guys low ball him with a ~$20-25mil contract. That'll likely keep him in the market and if he doesn't find better then he will be back in Pittsburgh for the same money. One can hope, right? lol... and LeCharles Bentley is still on that plane to Philly. lol. lets hope its not a smoke screen
