They’re legit still having Nick Foles vs Carson Wentz debates, and are actively wanting us to trade for Nick Foles. Also offer dumb scenarios, like nobody knows personnel contracts or how the league works.
reading that just made my head hurt

I've been apart of a few pages and had to leave. Some of them come up with the worse takes
I've spoken how the eagles reddit page have some retarded ass views. They just did a mock draft and they voted Justin Jefferson in over CJ Henderson
That's why y'all my favorite bunch of people to talk eagles football with. Y'all know your shyt and are real about stuff.
Side note
If all the Main WR and CB are taken. Would y'all use the 21st pick on a DE? AJ Espinoza is looking like good value for the 21 pick in this case
I cant see him falling that far...but yes. I would take him or Xavier Mckinney- he is basically a younger Malcolm Jenkins

Another sleeper CB I like is Kindle Vindor, from a small school Georgia Southern.
Espinoza? You mean Epanesa...and yea hes gonna be pro bowler in my opinionI've been apart of a few pages and had to leave. Some of them come up with the worse takes

Word, I'm having Nnamdi flashbacks all over again with Byron Jones. Plus I think there is way too much smoke linking him to the Eagles. Howie never operates like that.
I think u draft a corner in the first round or second round and sign on a short term deal a few low risk type veteran semiyoung corners like Logan Ryan, Darqueze Denard, Kendall Fuller, Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes
With the cba approved, I wonder if we could trade Alshon without getting hit with 26mil in dead money. BGN has mentioned something about that the past few weeks. I forgot what exactly needed to be agreed upon but if it helps get rid of him and that albatros of a contract.. I'll take it.
I think if we cut before June 1st we can spread his cap hit throughout two seasons. Don’t quote me tho
Me neither, but… what else are they supposed to do?
Philadelphia’s CBs were one of the worst in the NFL in 2019. You can look at the stats or you can watch the tape. On top of that, their two starters – Darby and Mills – are hitting FA. So an already bad unit is going to get even worse. The Eagles absolutely cannot afford to go into 2020 with Sidney Jones, Rasul Douglas, Cre’Von LeBlanc, and Avonte Maddox as their major corners.
$16-$18 million for Byron Jones is an overpay, but, so what? The vast majority of good players who hit Free Agency get overpaid, it’s how the market works. At the very least, the Eagles will be getting a genuine starting CB out of it all, which we haven’t had since… 2017? Again, you can watch the tape or look at the stats and you see that – lack of INTs notwithstanding – he’s a very good player, and who’s still young on top of it. I get that we want more from a guy you’re paying that much money too, but the reality is that he’s the best available on the market.
And I get that it’s a risk. But so is every other decision the Eagles could make. You can overpay Byron Jones, or you can overpay an inferior FA corner like Bradberry. You can trade draft assets to the Lions for a 29-year old Darius Slay. You can spend a valuable 1st or 2nd Round pick on a CB in the draft even though the Eagles haven’t drafted a good one in almost two decades, rookie CBs almost never make a true impact in their first year, and they have other positions to address. Otherwise, you go into 2020 with Jones/Douglas/LeBlanc/Maddox and have a bottom-ranked pass defense unit – again – in a league that’s becoming more and more oriented around the pass, and coverage is more important than ever.
Signing Jones is the best option. It’s unfortunate, but it’s what happens when you fail to find or develop good talent on your own. If Darby and/or Sidney Jones turned out to be anything like what the Eagles were hoping for when they acquired them, we’re not having this conversation now. But they didn’t. So now the Eagles pay the price.
I think it's essentially the same option they now have in the NBA. Basically instead of taking the cap hit over the years remaining on the contract they spread it out over a longer period of time. Same amount paid but in smaller increments so teams aren't handicapped for an off-season.
I don't remember details either. I thought what i read was about trades. If i come across the article I'll post it.
I just need him up out of here.

If DeAndre Hopkins is seriously available... Howie has no choice. I swear to God, if he doesn't pull the trigger on that one, he gotta give up the sticks to someone else.
Hopkins is a guy you spend high draft picks on. He is an impact receiver regardless of who is throwing him the ball or what the rest of the offense looks like. And does all that while be a team first guy on a manageable contract.
I can't think of a single first round pick I'd rather have over him, or a single pairing of a first and second round pick I'd rather have.
