How long does Philly stick with Wentz before going back to Foles?

[BPNAZ]

Hahaha

They did not. However, they also were not virtually eliminated from the playoffs either.

i hate that by the way. "asking for a friend" i see that popping up now on boards, is that the new douchey thing to say?

Just look at what they have paid to players no longer on the team for the last few seasons, for one. And why field the mediocre (at best) receivers over the past few seasons (before this season's Cooper trade). All - in part - a direct result of cap mismanagement. Of course it does not come close to the disaster Washington has regularly, but still.

As they are, they might be OK with the cap (with some of - for instance - Romo's money coming of the books) now. That was not the case a few seasons ago.

What FA WR's should they have gone after and were unable to?

I see you are quick to throw shit at Dallas over their handling of the cap even though it hasn't hampered our ability to get players we need, while saying the Eagles have done well in that department.

I can tell you our cap situation is LIGHT YEARS better than Philly's, so stop homering the fuck out of the board, sir.

You're wrong. The Eagles will just cut about 10 players and easily draft all their replacements and they are golden.

Right now, Dallas' situation indeed is. A few seasons ago, it was not (due to the constant restructuring, of among other's, Romo's contract(s)).

Hell, it was predicted that Philly would not even be able to recover from the contracts Chip Kelly handed out, let alone be able to add free agents for a while. The same was said a few seasons earlier. Howie got the Eagles past that; and yes, it is still a guess whether he will be able to work around the issues Philly is facing right now. As things stand right now, based on his past track record, there is a good chance he will do better than most GM's would do. Whether that is good enough to keep the Eagles competetive, remains to be seen.

Pretty much. Pe1 is the gift that keeps on giving.

Just releasing Foles after this season would put the Eagles back under the projected 2019 cap.

A total of 8 players released, would free up over $56 million in cap space. Some of them are likely to be released, others are not. The truly big magic act Roseman has to pull off is Carson Wentz' most likely contract, fitting that under the cap, and not gut the team in the process.

The draft WILL have to make up for some of it (which will be difficult).

it's not new. it's been around for quite a while. it gets over-used, for sure, but will go away eventually like everything else.

One thing many Eagle fans are somehow ignoring is, the Eagles will be over the cap with only 44 on the roster. So yes Foles gets you all under, but then you need to add 10 players to get to 53. That will take additional cuts to gain cap space, to sign those p look players. Keep on mind every cap casualty will have to be replaced with a lower tier lower priced player. The Eagles could have 20 new faces next season.

But they will still be a dynasty for the next 15 years!!!!!!!

Ok, let's do this. So you cut Foles and save $20M so you are now $10M under the cap. You have no backup QB on the roster. Gonna need one, gonna just draft someone in a late round? If not, you are back to only about $5M in cap space at best. Are you going to let Carson play out his final year and then hit UFA or franchise him? Or sign him this offseason? There goes any savings from Foles.

Now you get to turn to Lane, Jernigan, Jeffery, Ertz, or Peters to either cut them or convert them just to make room to get 8 more guys under contract so you have a roster of 52. And you are talking about cutting ANOTHER 8 guys to make space? Anyone worth cutting to make space is contributing so you are talking about making your team worse.

It really isn’t light years ahead even though at a quick glance it seems like it. We have a lot more older players making big money. Once Dallas gives (In the next 20 months)...
Dak 150,000,000
Lawrence 125,000,000
Zeke 75,000,000
B Jones 75,000,000
A Cooper $80,000,000

Then you’ll be where Philly is at now. 1/2 billion coming up in the next 20 months

One of them and notice yet another “ball washer” Eagle fan said it too... like all the NFL writers were saying as well.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Carrying Foles this year was a major blunder given that they were blindly committed to Wentz. First, they could have traded him for future young talent and second
that was a big cap hit for a guy to hold a clip board.

Howie the genius fucked that one up.

A major blunder? He had no way to tell when Wentz was coming back. Some said early some said by November. He’s a top notch backup. What was he supposed to do... put the entire season on Sudfeld?

It wasn't him, it was the weather as it hacked his hoop account.
