A few guys I see the Eagles possibly going after ... plenty out there; lmk who you guys like.
After signing Graham I don't think we'll be going after a big time defensive linemen.
I would like to add John Brown but he's going to get a good bit of money. That speed would be great here.
And I want a free agent RB, but not Coleman. He's a soft runner and injury prone. I'd rather have Latavius Murray and give Pederson someone to hammer defenses with.
We could also add someone like Spencer Ware or Bilal Powell just to give the backfield some veteran experience on the lower end of the scale.
He's gonna get paid like a bell cow and he's more of a 1b at best.Lat Murray is certainly another option ... Actually a guy I can absolutely see the Birds targeting. I disagree on Coleman though ... I think he'd be a perfect fit as we will continue to be RB by committee. Coleman's not a bell cow, but he is an explosive RB (4.35 40 speed) who's also a great receiver.
Bell would be perfect though. Really rounds out the offense in one move.I echo the above comments. I also do not want Bell. Younger than AB, but more wear and tear on his body. I want to go younger and utilize the draft. Get a young RB in FA, and draft a sturdy RB in the mid rounds, unless a stud is unexpectedly is available. Douglas should know where some hidden gems are. this is a very good draft. Hope we utilize the picks wisely. Tomorrow, we should be hearing who the Birds are considering.

He took a whole year off so he's fresh. For the next two years at least we would get top 5 RB production.
Antonio Brown traded to the Raiders for a 3rd and 5th round picks this year. Not a steep price, but he agreed to a $50M deal/ 3 years. Way too much for a selfish, malcontent player. No thanks.
