NFCE ~ News and Banter

Pretty much my thoughts as well. I'm not sold on Ringo even though he hasn't had too much opportunity. But I agree I don't want to put DeJean out there either. Rogers was actually above avg when he played so I'd be fine rolling with him but only if the price is right.

Rogers market will be interesting. I also liked his snaps he had last year. Slay missed a considerable amount of time and Rogers performed well. Not sure what he will go for in the end. I guess it depends on how the FA CB market evolves.

On a related note, are the Cowboys the only NFC team that hasn't at least made the NFCCG this century?

Insert the word drought in quotation marks here.

He was a great Eagle. There is an off chance that if there is no market for him or if it’s much less than expected that he could come back on a 1 year but that’s not likely.

Eagles will have to make a decision on Isaiah Rogers. He’s a FA. The decision on Rogers may come down to their belief in Kelee Ringo. If they think Ringo is ready to start they can let Rogers walk. They have some solid practice squad and developmental CBs for depth.

The big thing I don’t want to see is DeJean moved outside. The slot cornerback has evolved into being the 12th starter. They found a great player there. I fear moving him outside you lose something at 2 positions.

Interesting on DeJean. I thought he was in the slot more because that was the open spot than because he might not be as good on the outside. It was obviously pretty big to hit on both of those young CBs

DeJean was great as a nickel corner, and I suspect they keep him there, because they basically found a way to play with a extra DB most of the time and not lose much against the run since DeJean is a very good tackler. He was almost like a LB at the line of scrimmage, one who could also cover receivers and tight ends.

Regarding the Saquon extension, I have not seen the cap breakdown, but I suspect this is a classic Howie kick the can down the road move, extending his deal in a way that buys the team more cap room in the short run.
