2024 Free agency and draft thread

[fastforward]

NFC East odds ranges with UK sportsbooks:
Eagles +110 to +120.
Cowboys +120 to +150.
Commanders +900 to +1000.
Giants +1000 to +1100.

On paper the Eagles have had the better offseason, but there are no offseason pennants.

Easy money. Looks like I'm getting a new boat.

You're betting on the Commanders?

+110-+120 is not great odds there, Sparky.

That's why it's easy money.

How many times will +10000 hit?

 

[PDay8810]

yep...nothing smells more like a championship than last years total team collapse. Heart can not be measured unless it's a team effort. I remain a tad sceptical Kellen can cover all the bases. Best to just play the season.

Kinda what I was thinking. It’s redskins though

I wouldn’t say the Packers loss was a collapse. The Cowboys just ran into a better team.

You can stick a fork in the Eagles.

They're always talking about what a genius their GM is. This genius hired Matt Patricia. Then this genius brought back the head coach the team quit on.

Their window has closed. They lost their edge.

They know what sucks look like.

The Eagles will be one of the NFC’s best teams IMO - last season is over, this season is a new beginning. Their collapse at the end of last season has nothing to do with how they will do this season. They have a lot of talented players - I think Saquon Barkley will be a big addition to the offense and will thrive in Philly, he never had very good talent around him with the Giants, Brown/Smith are an excellent receiving combo, and the defense should be better, especially the secondary. They do have an issue with depth at receiver, they need someone to produce at the position other than Brown/Smith, and the LB unit is a bit of a question mark experience wise although the addition of Devin White will help. I think overall the Eagles will be a strong team and are the favorites to win the NFC East.

 

[redskinsfan1963]

That’s one of the only moves the Cowboys have made in this years free agency which shows how pathetic their offseason has been. I mean other than getting Zeke back and signing Kendricks at LB, they’ve done jack shit. And Jerry somehow thinks they’ll be able to contend for a Super Bowl this year - I don’t see it. In fact I could see the Cowboys missing the playoffs altogether - I like Dak but he can’t do it all, their rushing game looks weak, they only have 2 proven WRs in Lamb and Cooks (albeit 2 very good WRs) and their edge rush looks shaky.

I hope jerrah lives forever.his talent picking and running the cowboys is awesome.

you've convinced me.
Go Eagles.

I think if anybody tells you definitively what the Eagles are they’re either a homer or a hater.

The Eagles have three huge questions.
1. Who is Jalen Hurts? Is he the 2021 and 2023 guy or the 2022 guy.
2. Who is Nick Sirriani and will the difference in coordinators make a difference this year?
3. What is their pass rush? It was mediocre last year and they lost their best pass rusher.

I have them at 9-8 and I think Sirianni is fired at season’s end. That’s nothing more than a guess. I don’t feel confident in the answers to those three questions above.

Interesting. I’m a bit higher on them than you are - I predict double digit wins for the Eagles this year but you obviously never know.

A lot of Eagles fans seemingly forgot how last season ended. Let's see how Sirianni does managing this locker room before we crown these guys. There are already reports that Hurts may not love the guy. I really like what the Eagles did with assistants, replacing Matt Patricia with Vic Fangio at defensive coordinator and Brian Johnson with Kellen Moore at offensive coordinator. Those are potentially huge upgrades IMO. But I still have questions about the apparent puppet head coach.

My NFC East sleeper is the Commanders. Players are saying Jayden Daniels has impressed with his work ethic, as he's often the first in the building, etc. That kind of thing is telling, and we know the guy is an athlete, so it could be a difference maker in the division if he's a good rookie.

I am not an Eagles fan, I’m a Falcons fan, I’m just calling it the way I see it - I think the Eagles are the favorites to win the division.
I agree with you about the Commanders potentially surprising people - if Daniels has a good rookie season they can contend for the playoffs IMO, they have some decent pieces and I think their defense will improve.

 

[ducky]

Pfft. Bunch of eagle pussy fans cant even get on the homer train before the season. @Iggloo and @fightinfunbags shouldnt even be given snowballs to throw at Santa Claus after this show of lack of homerism.

Eagles win the NFCE walking away.

The eagles are a top 10 defense. Easily. The fact that they were near the bottom of the league last year just goes to show how much incompetence was in the building on the defense coaching side of things last year. It truly was embarrassing. Vic Fangio instantly fixes that.

They win 10+ games easily. And that is all it will take the win the NFCE as the Giants and Washington arent that good and Dallas is about to take a step backwards.
