Slay to Philly?

[Shanemansj13]

nah, slay didnt play great last year

Well he played on a shit team...terrible excuse but look at the 3-4 seasons before he was pretty damn good. Maybe that's just what he needs. Easily a huge need for the Eagles and better than any player in that secondary. Huge upgrade

 

[RobBase]

I think you guys did great. I think he finally hit the peak of his hill and is about to go on a down slope of his career. You got something out of him, 2 picks even, and you freed yourself from his salary. I really don't think you guys did that bad.

Now, Philly paid a 5th round pick too much, and then WAY OVERPAID Slay.

Maybe. The Lions make me extra crabby. Hopefully it works out for both teams.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Still...that is a big contract

 

[RememberTheKoy]

The second game was in 2015 when Cooper was a rookie. Carr threw for 169 yards that day. You really are reaching

Okayyyyyy

Lot of excuses.

Eagles dline got stronger and we have what could be our first decent corner since Asante Samuel. He doesn't need to be some shutdown corner, just needs to be better than the non-existant corners we have been trotting out there for the past decade.

 

[Sparhawk]

I give it a B.
Would rather have given up the 3rd round comp pick and the money seems high.
That being said, he does become our best CB, though the bar was only a few inches off the ground.

Plenty more moves to make.

Great Dline play can mask a lot of deficiencies in the secondary. And the Eagles track record on DBs certainly has not been good. Slay might be able to help but wow, that's a lot of money for just "pretty good" or "decent". Just saying. Better hope Cox and the rest of the front stay very healthy.

 

[Iggloo]

You don't any sense

You drinkin' early bro? I know you probably have that coronavirus home staycation happening on spring break, but wait until at least 2 PM to crack open the bottle.

On a side note, Slay looks like he was slayin' off the field?

why would we discuss the Cowboys secondary in this thread?

 

[Shanemansj13]

At least from Detroit to Philly the scenario stays the same...shit town to shit town

 

[Manster7588]

3 years $50 million with $30 million guaranteed for Slay

No worries, it's fake years.

Where are the excuses? You guys are just bizarre or insecure. I said it will probably be a good move. I'm just destroying your asinine post about two games as if it is meaningful at all. What's worse is one of the games was 5 years ago when Cooper was a rookie so I suspect he wasn't locked down with Slay any way and the other was a game where Cooper didn't practice all week.

But I'm told Howie is a guru using Fake Years

Howie is brilliant at manipulating the cap. Like him or not and I have not always been a fan you have admit he knows what he is doing financially...... now picking players....that is another debate.

I was told the eagles were in cap hell a couple years ago and then just kicked the can down the road to now. What happened?

 

[jdwills126]

If anyone wanted him for a second the Lions would have jumped! That tells you what his worth is.

He spent more time injured than he has ever before and it was clear he was a me first guy that rubbed Patricia and Quinn the wrong way.

Not worth 50 million and not sure he is worth the two years and 30 guaranteed. He will give you one really good year if he stays healthy but would not count on him as a #1 corner any more.

This is the same guy Keenan Allen pretzeled early last season.

Problem is, most teams massage the cap, not just Cap Guru Howie.
