Free Agency Musings

I would love love love to get Jarvis Landry in a trade. We could send Matthews somewhere else and have Landry as the slot guy and #1 target.

Rumor had it that Miami put out feelers on Landry, but quickly rescinded. The fact that they gave it some thought at all is interesting in itself.

You can't trade your best edge rusher ... that would kind of nullify any upgrade at another position

Hes going to be 30. How many more years does he have left? You don't trust Vinny curry?

Eagles cut Connor Barwin

Graham doesn't have high mileage though ... I think he's still in his prime.

Graham for most weeks last season was our best defensive player - I'm not good with trading a 2nd team All-Pro DE for a #2 receiver. NE can offer up Butler because they signed someone to immediately replace (arguably upgrade in Gilmore) over Butler. Betting on Curry to become 2nd team All-Pro next season if you move Graham is a big risk.

Barwin released

always liked Barwin and have enjoyed his time in Philly. Dude does some great things for the community and had some good years on the field.

Now I can get rid of my Barwin jersey. It was too big anyways

Interesting.

cant find any other source on this but hears to hoping.

Guess the cooks trade is dead and we are moving to Asholn jeffery Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) | Twitter

So it's Torrey Smith.

Meh, at least he's a deep threat. And he won't be the only WR move we make.

friend of mine who is a Ravens fan always called him Tootsie Smith. I am not going to be able to call him anything but Tootsie.

Apparently we're in on Alshon. He makes me nervous, but his hands in traffic are insane.

If we lose out on him to the Colts maybe they'd be open to moving Moncrief...

Aaron Williams got released by Buffalo. He might retire, but if he doesn't, he's a good buy low 3rd safety, nickel back type. Very talented but injuries have ended his last two seasons.

Alshon Jeffery - Wikipedia

If wiki says he's an eagle he must be lol

Cowturds lose Ronald Leary to Broncos. They weren't going to sign him anyways, but I'm not sure if Collins is going to step in and play as well as Leary did.

If Collins didn't get hurt early last year, Leary wouldn't have even been starting. If anything Collins may be a slight upgrade over Leary.

All true, but Leary was phenomenal on the field last year. It will be hard for Collins to play better on the field than Leary did in 2016. Not impossible but highly unlikely.

Eagles to retain Allen Barbre, sources say

Maybe it doesn't mean anything, but might create more speculation about a Kelce departure.

No doubt, Leary was very good, but they have an immediate replacement at a fraction of the cost who will likely be just as good. Collins was the starter until he got hurt Week 3 or 4. Stupid Cowboys.

Markus Wheaton - Unsigned Free Agent - 2017 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com

Birds are checking him out - not really a fan of his, but still better than most of what we currently have.

 

[SixthStreet]

Wheaton is a 4th WR type. He could provide decent depth, but it better be near the minimum.
