Amazing isn't it

Just as the casual fan knows... every player on that team knows who the better player is. But even if the gap wasn’t so large Wentz will still get the nod cause we can’t afford Foles after this year.

Foles will resign with Philly for less if Wentz comes back and plays. What else is he going to do? He already turned other options down:

In general. Like if Baltimore end this season 10 million over would they be in cap hell?

Cap hell really doesnt have a # attached to it (although the higher the # the harder it is not to go to cap hell)
You know your team is in cap hell if you are trimming the fat & still cant make any real Roster moves in FA, or if you start dropping quality players to be able to make FA roster moves.

We spent years where we had to keep coming up with ways just to sign our own people & could never get in the fight for the good named FA's. One of those times we were probably close to 30 mil over, other times we were much closer to the cap. Alot of it depends on what contracts are coming due as much as how much you are over.

Correct. You can always do the Math to get under the Cap, that doesn't mean you don't have a problem. With the rollover you should be starting now. Didn't need some of these guys this year. Next step is not being able to sign guys. Then comes restructuring contracts to minimize the 2019 hit and push money out into future years to not dismantle team that year. Then comes being stuck with huge amounts of "dead money" for guys out of the league or on other teams. Lastly we rename your owner and GM "Jones".

Can’t face reality

You wish there was no Salary cap

Not facing the truth is is the key to your dealing with reality

Lol. This isn't the first year of this. It was all eagles fans before. Now it's all nfl fans because we are champions.

They were wrong then like you are now. You will see, like they did. Most of them have already learned their lesson on this topic.

thank you, i played a part being a fan just like PE1

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

I seem to remember lots of talk about Wentz playing week 1. Lol

I think he plays week one. We will find out in 6 days.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Week 3 is actually quicker than I would have of thought. This should be seen as positive news to Eagles fans.
Starting week one is/was a pipe dream.

I also believe if the team thought week 3 was the possible date they'd have taken Cleveland's offer for Foles.

I don’t think it’s a pipe dream. I think he’s going to start game 1. Like I said... we will see in 6 days.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Well after all, he was so far ahead of schedule and absolute "everyone around the team" was saying it and how good he looked...I remember reading that somewhere

Read above!

He won't play week 1. Wentz would have needed to be cleared for contact last week to have a minor shot at week 1.
