Eagles don’t put a premium on the OLB spots. I think they expect Dean to take one spot and they’ll probably pick up one fairly cheaply like they did with White.
Agree. However my concern is without Epps, they need another S that can play the hybrid LBer position. CJGJ can, but who plays center field?
That’s a major, major coup by Howie. Wow. That’s unbelievably team friendly.
Very good player. 2/3 of his seasons in Philly were good ones. This last one was a bit of an outlier. I’d love for them to have kept him. For $22 million a year long term, they had to turn it over.
When looking at their moves, a trend is emerging. They resigned Bradberry. So their immediate needs at CB shifted. That may free them up to go DT or DE at #10 overall. Same with #30.
The draft picks aren’t guarantees to your Kinlaw point, but you have to try there. Especially at premium positions like DT and DE.
There was smoke about them trying to move up to get Carter. If they don’t need a DB, maybe package #10 and #30 to move up?
I've thought CB and DE/DT for a while. with CB seemingly taken care of, i think Safety and DE/DT at this point in the first, with LB in the second.
Eagles release big play Slay....

I mean you could see that coming...
Eagles to release Darius Slay
The Eagles gave cornerback Darius Slay permission to talk to other teams about a trade, but that won't be the route he's taking out of Philadelphia this offseason.

With Bradberry back, i'm not mad. got younger, and Bradberry was more consistent over the season. Plus get out from under the full cap hit of Slay (from 26.1m to 8.6m). That provides almost 20m for use elsewhere (hopefully CJGJ)
EDIT: I wonder if this opens up the chance that he comes back at a cut-rate deal a la Cox last season? If I remember correctly, they released Cox and he came back on a 1 year deal. Maybe this was Howie calling Slay's bluff and now that Slay couldn't find a trade partner, he realizes his value isn't as high as he thought
I dont think Slay is looking to go cut rate, I think he wanted even more.
Agree. I think he WANTED more, but I don’t know if he’s going to see it the way he fell off the second half of this season and is 32.
from philly.com.....
The Eagles approached the 32-year old about restructuring his deal, in light of their salary cap issues, but he wanted new money and additional years, sources close to the situation said.
His agent Drew Rosenhaus was given permission to shop Slay to other teams, but when the Eagles were neither able to find a partner or come to agreement on a restructure, they began their pursuit of Bradberry.
The Slay release news now puts CB back into the mix at #10. I'd LOVE to see them nab Carter, but I think they need two first round additions more than Carter at DT this offseason.
Pride will throw a wrench in that. Sadly. I think CB at #10 is a good move. They need to play beyond 2-3 years with Bradberry anyway.
Carter? IDK he couldn't get thru his pro day workout,'cramps' gained weight from the combine, those are flags, imo
Jalen Carter struggles with position drills at Pro Day
It doesn't look like former Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter helped his draft stock at the team's Pro Day workout on Wednesday.

I don’t think it’s necessarily “better” as much as it’s “+\- really close and a ton cheaper”
Good Luck Miles! Eagles went PENNY pinching. Just like the Phillies post 80 WS fire sale. The Lions will see a SB before the Eagles now.
Probably a combination of the Eagles wanting to keep him and Slay finding that the market on a 3-year contract for a 32 yo DB is pretty soft.
LOL. I’d say the Eagles are moving heaven and earth to retain as many guys as possible. The math behind the salary cap makes keeping everyone and paying a superstar young QB impossible.
And while counter to all we know about Howie, they may try to grab a RB at #30. There will likely be a guy or two available for almost a 2nd round pick.
With Slay and Bradberry back, they have flexibility there. Go DL at #10 and then see where the chips fall.
As long as he stays healthy which Philly QB's have a history of not doing.

I had a sneaking suspicion that when Slay wanted 3 years at 32 years old, howie said no way and while allowing him to seek a trade shows Slay that Howie had his best interest at heart (which a player can respect and admire), Howie really knew the market wouldn't support what Slay wanted. Especially after a down second half of 2022. Let him seek a trade. Let him see that he's not gonna get what he wants. Release him then offer him less to come back. Howie doing Howie things
It’s not a Philly thing. 20/32 teams played their back up QB due to injury to the starter last season
That’s nice money for him. He’ll walk away from his career in very good financial shape.
Eagles replace Gardner Minshew with Marcus Mariota
Gardner Minshew is out.

I like the fit, but am not wild about the price tag. Given Hurts’ spotty injury history, it’s likely a cost they had to incur.as mentioned, seems like a much better fit for the Eagles OEagles replace Gardner Minshew with Marcus Mariota
Gardner Minshew is out.
