Hicks ain't going no where. He'd be dumb, Eagles actually like him and are willing to give him a chance despite being fragile.

Corey Clement is the next stud for us, his time just isn't yet. Jay Train about to give us what's left in his tank which is a lot. He runs hard. 
Our future is golden.

I think the Eagles got about 2-3 million in cap space right now. They will have some more once people like Matt Jones are cut
.We dont need immediately Bowman cause Kamu earned that third linebacker spot this preseson. He has looked good
.But unlike Kendricks, Kamu is an unknown. He could be nice but he could be trash on defense once the real games start.
Given Hicks injury history, I just want us to be proactive. Only spot we dont have depth at is at linebacker. It wouldnt hurt to have a veteran in that linebacker room. They should work Bowman out and if he checks out, sign him after final cuts, let him take a few weeks to understand Schwartz's defense.
And if needed he is ready to go. It wouldnt hurt to have him in that Ellerbe, Najee Goode or Joe Walker 4th linebacker spot.
He signed last year for 3 million and he could get some burn in base formation. I think he would take 2 million or even the veteran minimum to play for the defending champs in a limited role. Beats sitting at home.
Only thing I wonder with him is he capable or willing to play special team coverage
.When Hicks went down, I thought Ellerbe was signed mainly for mlb position in base formation with Kendricks and Bradham outside. He was decent in that role. He was definitely better than Joe Walker in that spot.
When Hicks went down. In Nickel and other formations, it was kendricks and bradham on the field. We dont have the luxury of Kendricks this year.
They are placing alot of faith in Kamu (well deserved since he has been good in the preseason)
But if Hicks or Bradham or both go down. It would be good to have a veteran like Bowman to back them up if Kamu cant cut it and since he is not a strong cover linebacker anymore, he is still serviceable in Base formation in the middle.

I'm keeping Smallwood if its up to me. I've seen him play well in NFL games and he's still only 24.
If they don't think they can get Adams on the practise roster, I'd understand keeping him though
Pump and Jones can

you are correct, Ellerbee was signed to be a MLB but he is limited- Hicks is a 3 down guy , Ellerbee is a 2 down guy like Bowman- I just dont see them signing Bowman unless they are super dsperate

We may have stumbled upon the heir apparent at Left Tackle when 71 hangs it up.
.Look wat he picked up in a a few months, just imagine wat he could do when he is fully developed.
Already at the same level as Big V so far and he is 6 8 and 350 and moves like a cat.

Yooooo Baldy brought the heat on that one. Only yesterday I said he was super raw and may need 2 years. Now we have someone with great football knowledge lauding the kid. If that wasn't just a flash in the pan performance and he truly does build off that... yea, we're good AF for the future.
Yup, like I said a few pages back the tackle situation around the league is so poor there's no way he's getting through waivers untouched. We're gonna have no choice but to keep him on the 53, even if the team wants no part of him seeing the field in real games this season.

To add on to what you been saying this big mahfukka is only 21 years old and his first time stepping on to a professional football field was preseason week 1 and he didnt get embarrassed.
I know its not meaningful games yet
He's raw as fukk and we can all see that but he has some buzz around his name and unless we toss him on IR to stash him on the PS id rather roll the dice on him than the other fringe tackles like Pryor and Toth
this is his first time ever playing football and if you took the names off the jerseys you would think that was Big V's first time playing footballTo add on to what you been saying this big mahfukka is only 21 years old and his first time stepping on to a professional football field was preseason week 1 and he didnt get embarrassed.

As a Samoan I'm really
at how far he has come. I told my cousins back In NZ/Australia this could be another Jarrod Hayne sitaution. But the big uso is doing well considering dude played his first game of football 3 weeks ago

Use him as a FB in goal line situations
Or a lead blocker for jay train or Clement
