Looks like Glenn Erby (article author) is nothing more than your average SportsHoopla poster with the only difference being he spent some time building his own website to post his retardation.

and now we wait for the "need a RB just trade for Dak" jokes...

I know they jsut redid fletchers contract, but weren't they already over next years number? By a lot.

Makes more sense than Bell, but only if you're comfortable with a dbl digit cap hit for the next 3 seasons...2 for certain.

A McCoy reunion would be more likely.

And the Cardinals would trade him why?

Yes with a but.

Foles ain't gonna get $20 million to be the backup next season. Once they cut him, they're $7 million under the cap. I think Peters is done too, there's another $8 million.

15 million under in two moves.

They can make the game a little better without getting rid of it all together...players on IR or PUP should have a separate cap and not count against the active roster. Any time you lose a high salaried player like Shazier, that's a lot of money tied up that can't be used on another player unless they cut said injured player.

Imagine if salaries were guaranteed like the other major sports...

Because eagle bloggers assume everyone wants to both play for them and give up star players for pennies on the dollar for no good reason.

If the eagles trade straight up wentz for Johnson, they get an upgrade in the RB and QB category.

As good of reason as any. Lol

At a certain point I'm not sure if it makes sense to carry a $10 mil cap hit @ RB....if you're 4-12 I guess you can turn it around while you still have him under contract, but with a 2nd yr QB next yr...idk. KC is lighting it on fire with a 2nd yr QB.

There's a good chance Fitz finally calls it a career, if so I would probably be okay with shedding that big cap hit at RB and going younger/cheaper.

I'm actually pro guaranteed contracts...I think we'd see a lot more realistic contracts instead of these bloated but rarely realized contracts.

Sounds good, but would? Wasn't there some bridges burned there.

they call him mesean in philly

He was pissed when they traded him. If he was upset, it was at the organization for trading him, not teammates and fans. He certainly didn't ask to be traded.
