What the Eagles are doing is getting guys to take less on the cap in exchange for more guaranteed money in future years. So they don't get more overall, but get more guaranteed. They did this for Malcolm Jenkins, and some others. It makes sense with players like that who were unlikely to be cut anyway. But it is riskier with a guy like Lane Johnson due to his juice issues.

Well we'll see about that.

We are already seeing now just how uneducated, mentally ill and wrong the clowns screaming about the Eagles cap situation were.

Glorious.

I agree.

Philly will likely wheel and deal and end up with a ton of cap space in last place.....

You do realize the Patriots are the current SB champs don't you? They will remain champs until someone dethrones them.

Or did you stop watching after the Feables were eliminated?

Heck your team wasn't even the best NFC team this past year. You're team has regressed so why would anybody think they'll be the best team come next season.
Talk about a clown.

Nope... 1st it was “The Eagles are so fucked in 2019 and are in complete cap hell”. Now that they are 27 million under a week later it’s, “You guys are so fucked when you have to sign Wentz”.
The only thing I don’t get is the Patriots are the SB champs and a complete dynasty. Yet 87% of all posts are about the Eagles. Why?
We lost a great backup QB, a back up DE and a DT who hardly played last year. Will they be missed? Absolutely but the good teams keep reinventing themselves in the draft. No one knows if the Eagles will land a bunch of studs or a bunch of scrubs. That will be the determining factor.

Well Cap hell goes like this.
You have to dump quality players ......... Check!
You restructure other players kicking the can down the road ...... Check! (Which is where the real damage is)
Lose depth .... check!
Normally weakens the team from the year before ..... remains to be seen.
Make no mistake if you werent in the beginning stages of cap hell. These moves wouldnt be happening to get under the cap so you can sign a full football team again.
Which was pretty much what everyone was telling you guys.

Actually there was one or two Eagle fans that was pretty in depth of cuts & restructures with a nice list of players. (not one to three) like you thought.
You claiming to be right when what everyone was telling you is what is happening is pretty funny.
No one ever said you wouldnt get under the cap. Every year there are plenty of teams with cap issues, but they always get under. Just at what costs. So the fact the eagles got under the cap, I dont think anyone questioned.

We extended a DE at 13 mill per, we gave our C and 11 mill dollar extension, we are 27 million under the cap. We extended 2 other players too. No one can afford a 25 million dollar back up QB. Letting go of a 34 year old backup DE when the starter is coming back from injury and is 22 years old isn’t completely gutting the team my friend. The only thing we need to worry about is the same thing every team who wants to be relevant needs to do and that’s draft well.
We aren’t kicking the can down the road. We’ve been doing this for a decade and have always been fine. 27 million under. Haha. Lost a 34 year old backup DE. We are sooooo fucked!

Everyone was telling us we are completely fucked this year. We said we need to dump Foles cause no one can afford to pay a backup that. Most of us thought Brandon Graham was long gone but Howie figures that out.

Eagles are in the declining mode. Started last year.

No need to bring up foles to me.
I figured he was gone no matter how your cap looked.
I just laughed when an eagle fan (not you) explained all that was needed was to get rid of Foles & poof all good.
Your extension for your center by the way lessened the cap hit up front. Which does what. Increase it on the back end. (Another form of kicking the can)
You have been doing restructures which all kicked the can.
Trust me. You are not done removing players or restructuring them yet either. The # you are under. Really isnt the # you are under, because you have plenty of people to sign to get to a full roster again.
Again we all knew the Eagles would get under the cap. Teams always do. But to what cost? Eagles will still be making a lot more moves before it is all over. How much it hurts or future cap mortgaged still remains to be seen.
& no. I dont blame the eagles for making these moves. Their window is open now. but closing. Try & win now!

Are the eagles a better team at this stage of 2018 than they are now?

:nod:

Educate yourselves before opening your yappers to avoid threads like these.


Eagles, Lane Johnson reportedly agree to restructured contract

Exhibit 279.f.1 on managing the cap.

Good luck to you all.

People have been saying it is going to hurt the team in future years

Your article says just that.

"The upside to restructuring contracts is that it frees up cap space in the short-term. The downside is that it increases cap numbers in future seasons. It’s a classic example of kicking the can down the road"

Its a desperate move by a declining team

These eagles fans are the best!! So easily triggered and misinformed.

Take a good look at the long list of FAs the Eagles have. They have nowhere near the amount of money needed to sign any significant portion of that list. Also, they currently have one QB on the roster who is not a FA and that guy finished the last two seasons on the sidelines holding a clipboard but if you listen to them it’s “not a problem”.

most eagles fans have been saying that the depth doesnt matter FWIW

Who? Everyone knows depth is very important in such a violent game. They obviously don’t know football.
