*PHILADELPHIA EAGLES* Official 20-21 Regular Season Thread: WEEK 1 EAGLES vs Football Team 1pm ET

[CJ616]

 The Eagles  have handed out eight new contracts since the end of last season -- and they are heading into free agency with more money than they started with.

 Cap space left after trading Maxwell, Murray and Kiko: $27.4 million".

 

[District of Columbia]

Eh RBs are more a luxury than a need. I would be pissed if we drafted Zeke while Conklin or Heargraves was still on the board

 

[stillin729]

Howie really undid Chip's colossal failures

Man I really believed in Chip, I wonder if he learns anything from all this in SF

 

[District of Columbia]

Chip is stubborn as hell ..he will try to shoehorn his system over and over to prove it works ..he will be back in college in 3 years

 

[IATT]

Going to be interesting the direction they go..I can for sure them going with elliot no tho...don't see them rolling wth what they have now heading into the season

Not really.. Pretty sure we go QB, CB or tackle at 13

Could also see us going oline again in the 3rd even if we take a tackle at 3rd (pretty sure at least 1 of those 3rds is going be on someone who can play guard).. And that scenario could still happen even if we sign the guard out of KC






On RBs, we can get someone like Paul Perkins out of UCLA later in the draft

i actually wouldn't mind Hargreaves at 13, dude is small but he seems to have the quick twitch movements you'd need at the CB spot. I hope somehow we resign Nolan and Thurm.

I guess the reports of Jim Schwartz thinking Kiko Alonso was a "box of rocks" from @RosterWatch were real.

 

[Bruce Banner]

5'11 , 204 pounds .. He is far from small , only thing is he ran a 4.50 but he's not slow at all on the field .

 

[District of Columbia]

If we don't draft a CB in round 1 hopefully we can trade up or land Artie Burns if he lasts until the 2nd. He has star potential.. Size speed and ball skills

 

[IATT]

easier to figure out what route we go when we hear what the compensation is on the trades..

but as I said before, I expect it to be 1 of 5 players in the 1st if everything remains the same for us in rounds 1 and 2.. if we get into the 2nd round, Hargreaves or QB is probably at the top of our board (maybe even ramsey becomes a possibility too on a trade up)

 

[mrswagtastic]

howie needs to stop playin and bring back frank

 

[IATT]

leodis mckelvin is visiting eagles

 

[stillin729]

Played for Schwartz so it makes sense

Would be good, as long as they don't spend big on him.  Kinda on the old side.

 

[Bruce Banner]

Was thinking the same thing , he is 30 might be looking to cash out right now .. Honestly want us to address the guard & the Oline position in free agency , so we can have more opportunities in the draft to draft a stud CB in the first round , if we swap first with the Dolphins like the reports are saying , I really don't want us to pass on Ramsey or Vernon .. I'm not sold on any of these QB's in this draft class honestly. And Zeke isn't Adrian Peterson why draft this kid in the first when there are RB's as good as him
In the later rounds .

#Eagles showing strong interest in OLB Nigel Bradham formerly of #Bills.

 

[CJ616]

 Schwartz getting his Mike Zimmer on.  Can't even be mad.  Changing defensive schemes, it'll probably be beneficial having players on the roster who are familiar with what he's trying to install.

 

[District of Columbia]

Nigel Bradham is solid ..would like that pickup

Hopefully the market is slow on Thurm and we can pick him back up

 

[CJ616]

Eagles' re-signing of Sam Bradford did not spell the end of QB Chase Daniel in Philly. Doug Pederson's buddy remains a possibility there.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I actually wouldn't mind Chase in a backup role.  Get Sanchez outta there.

for most of the guys it wont be THAT much of a change from what they did previously.. we get a SAM LB and we're set with front 7 starters wise..

it's backups and barwin where things REALLY change and guys are odd fits

cheaper backup than sanchez, who will get cut.. then we're drafting a QB at some point, just depends on how it plays it

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Amazing how Sanchez would just make the worst play possible every time.

 

[stillin729]

Chase Daniel as a back up is cool with me

 

[Verde Shuttles]

We have agreed to terms with McKelvin 2/6

 

[Bruce Banner]

Solid Pick up , he's an upgrade from Carroll
