How do y'all feel about signing Saquon? My cousin and closest homie are Eagles fans and they both wish they kept Swift instead amd fix the LB position. I thought it was a solid signing though. Not necessarily a need but he does move the needle.

i was iffy on it but im a little more sold now. saquon is a clear upgrade from swift, but the concern is durability. we havent seen saquon in an offense like this so the skys the limit if he can stay healthy. we still have cap to address S & maybe even LB a bit, then we can focus on the draft to fill the rest of the holes (1 first rounder, 2 second rounders & potentially more if we trade sweat and/or reddikk).

Definite upgrade. Last season I kept feeling that we needed a real run game. I barely saw Swift make many impact plays. Like out of 20 runs, maybe he'd run for 10 yards on one. Most plays he's getting 2 yards. Somebody else can pay him because that's not enough in my book. Now contrast that with CMC, it felt like he was picking up 7 yards on every play and frequently getting long runs. If Saquon can be somewhat close to that, then its worth it
Obviously our defense is trash and we need to fix our LB core and our backfield.
Howie is a fukking magician
Just need another Lb and another corner or 2,one way or the other. The defense should be much improved.

A lot of the fukk shyt that went down wouldn't have happened with Ceedy Deuce on the sidelines. 9ers hoed Bradberry out in the pre-game and nobody stepped to themMy dawg would've taken someones head off on the first possession
our enforcer is back. Ski mask szn has returned We backkkkkk

Him doing what he did with the Giants should tell you he's a baller. He is the one that got Jones that big ass contract.

Howie showing his ass this offseason and it's still time for him to get off in the draft
A healthy Saquon is on another level than Swift. Edge depth, OL depth, CB depth
