Good for Miles. He's a likable guy who's had to work his butt off everywhere he's been. It's easy to cheer for guys like that.
How Eagles RB Miles Sanders made his breakout season a reality -- just in time for a payday
Miles Sanders has played the best football of his career as he nears free agency -- and it's all been fueled by those who underestimated him.www.espn.com
Eagles GM Howie Roseman is the architect of the NFL's best roster. Here's how he did it

AJ will be motivated on Sunday. Assuming he's ok physically, that motivation will help.

With salary cap in place, franchise and transition tag amounts for 2023 are known
The formulas for determining the franchise and transition tags ultimately tie the amount at each position to a percentage of the salary cap.

Do the Eagles resign Miles? A second RB contract seems to violate every principle Howie holds dear.Franchise transition tags numbers are out

Depends imo. At $10 mil? No way. At $5 mil? Maybe. But it seems RB is the easiest to draft n play. Right now off the top of my head MS SB Tony Pollard, Josh Jacobs are all FA, there a couple I m forgetting
I think the Eagles think Gainwell is the next guy, resign Boston cheap, draft a good one, let the bottom feeders sign the RBs. That’s why they are bottom feeders
Agree….Sluggo. Franchise tag for RBs at $10 million is too rich for Miles. There should be ample supply of FA’s out there for a significant cost reduction. Eagles most likely pick up a good back in the draft also and get a relative bargain on a rookie contract.
I still think the Texas RB at #10 is in consideration. Especially when you view that as a bonus pick.

You have to be a diehard fan to even know he's on the roster.
This is an absolutely crazy story. BLUF: Howie with zero football experience, hand-wrote letters to Joe Banner and Mike Tannenbaun every day asking for a chance. Banner hired him and here we are
Giants' Love: Sirianni has 'free ride' as Eagles HC
Giants safety Julian Love said Nick Sirianni, who has coached the Eagles to the fourth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, is "in for a free ride right now" because of Philadelphia's talented roster.

”New York Giants safety Julian Love said Sirianni, who has coached the Eagles to the fourth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, is "in for a free ride right now" because of Philadelphia's talented roster.
"He's a guy who really is doing a good job because he's not getting in the way of his team," Love said during an appearance Thursday on NFL Network. "He has an experienced roster from top to bottom -- offense, defense."
The hosts of NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" then asked Love for his reaction to Sirianni's sideline demeanor while showing a widely circulated video clip of the Eagles' second-year head coach nodding triumphantly in front of a camera during Philadelphia's blowout victory over New York in the NFC divisional round.
"I don't like it. I don't like it at all," Love responded. "He's in for a free ride right now. You guys can coach this team."”
I think the Eagles resign Hargrave, Bradberry, CJ Gardner-Johnson, maybe Brandon Graham
I think they resign Dillard as well. Wait on the rest. if its a choice between Sanders, and Ike, go with Sanders. Ike is too expensive, they have replacements for him. Fletcher? I hope he can stay at team friendly deal.
some tough decisions for Howie to make. And to a great extent, his flexibility will be dependent upon how much $$ are left after Hurts signs.
Hargrave -- it's a lot of $$, but he has to be resigned
Bradberry -- this one worries me. He wants top $$. I don't know that they'll be able to pay what he wants. I certainly hope they can bring him back
C.J. Gardner Johnson -- all those INTs he got this season are going to raise his demands. I hope they can resign him
Isaac Seumalo -- they should be able to reach agreement. If he wants $$ that's comparable to the top OGs in the league, they may not be able to reach an agreement.
Brandon Graham -- he put up great numbers this year, in part because of the rotation, where he got fewer snaps per game. I'd say it's 50-50 that he's back
Miles Sanders -- He's their best RB, and I would really like to see him re-signed. Miles seems to want top $$, and I don't think he's going to get that from the Birds
Kyzir White -- the Birds don't pay much for LBers. White did okay at times, and like most LBers had trouble in coverage
Marcus Epps -- part of an excellent secondary. If he wants top safety $$, I don't think they'll be able to resign him
Fletcher Cox, Andre Dillard, Zach Pascal, Linval Joseph, Ndamukong Suh, Gardner Minshew and Boston Scott -- Dillard seems to me the most unlikely. He wants to start, and that's not going to happen in Philadelphia unless somebody gets injured. Joseph and Suh are nice rotation pieces -- depends on how much they want. Minshew didn't impress in the games he started at the end of the season, which may help the Birds in terms of resigning him. I have no clue what Howie will do with Scott and with Cox. If Sanders isn't resigned, then Scott becomes more important. Fletcher is not anywhere near the player he was 5 years ago. I think they'll wait to see how much money they have left after signing some of the aforementioned before deciding what to do with him.
I think that's a pretty fair assement of the situation. Depends how much you have to spend on Hurts, and you have to sign him. I think, the Eagles think, Gainwell can give them everything Sanders does and more. this is the first year MS has been injury free, so there's that. If MS wants top money, he needs, imo to go to some bottom feeder that will pay him.
IMO I think they can get Dilliard back. I know he wants to start, but to me, I'd let Dilliard and Driscoll battle it out for the guard job, let Ike walk. If Dilliard can only play LG and he is better at LG then Driscoll at RG, then let Dilliard play LG and move Dickerson to RT and let him and LJ maul people like BB use to do.
it will be interesting, for sure
