Even if he does that, which would make me love him forever, seems like the knee is a big issue. You see his gait in the open field looks weird. Doesn't appear to affect his quickness though

It's quite premature to predict anything about next year. Draft. FA. Re-signings. Cap.

I have a VERY hard time believing they will let Bradam go, as LB still feels weak to me. Hicks is legit, when he can stay n field and Bradam really stepped up. Those two are back likely. Kendricks who knows.

I assume Cox, Jernigan, Graham, Barnett are back. Curry - not sure. He seemed to play well in the rotation. C Long no idea?

DBs. Mcleod and Jenkins are back. Jones Darby and Mills the top 3. Not sure if they can and or will sign Robinson?

In terms of vets on IR: Sproles, Maragos and J Peters. It's a function of their recoveries, desire to win, did we win SB or not? I could see Peters renegotiate to make the numbers work and make another run. Vitai is going nowhere as he's the only guy we have now that allows for 5 starters legit without Peters.

Celek may be gone, especially if they win and he gets ring. Might be time to retire.

I think they like Agholor for the right price. I also think Torrey Smith is gone. Agholor for ridiculous money is not worth it. He's not that special and in terms of shifty guy in slot, lots of guys out there can take the job.

The one thing that is a little unique about this Birds team, and if they win it all - is that this team likes itself and each other. And I could see guys within reason taking a little less to keep together and make another run, and with Wentz as your QB you know you will have multiple chances to do so.

Ajayi is on 5th round rookie deal. I wouldn't worry about him this off-season.

As far as the draft ? Unless there is some Oline guy they are in love with that they can get high, take a f'n LB for once. We are so thin there and it would so make a difference to upgrade at that position. Get some size and speed.

This is one of the few times, I'd like to see them do what they can to keep most of this team in-tact. Turnover is often high in NFL and I think over the course of Carson's time in Phila. - not unlike Brady in NE, we'll see the cast of surrounding guys shift - but I think they could squeeze another run out of this bunch knowing that either due to money or injury - a couple guys will probably be gone. But a couple new ones in their place.

If Sidney Jones turns out to be really good - Hicks returns, Bradam stays, barnett takes a step forward - and we get a rookie LB who can contribute in year 1, that D will remain top tier.

Kelce Brooks Johnson are already 3/5 of a monster line and if JP comes back at 80% of HOF best - he's solid. Wiz might have another year. I'm not worried about Oline just yet.

Clement and Ajayi - even if they can't afford Blound
Alshon, Mack Hollins, replacement for Torrey Smith (Desean?) - and then Agholor can decide if will give loyalty discount to team who stuck with him and QB and offense that he's thriving in. If not, then we'll get some new guys in there. Always going to be some dude you never heard of or a vet trying to get a ring.

Ertz is fine, Burton is ok - but replaceable.

Sproles I suspect would play for cheap to get one more shot.

Ironic, that if they win it - all those guys get rings - but it will feel hollow.

Go Birds

PTK - good stuff. Couple of notes:

Agholor is signed through '18 and the Eagles have a '19 option on him.

Wiz is only 28 and signed through '19 so no worries there either.

I think Sproles is coming back.

Ajayi is under contract for the 2018 season @ $760,000. There is no need to do anything. If he has a great 2018, then cross that bridge. If he is a PITA, there are other runners that always become available via FA for a cost. As pointed out, his lower leg might fall off at the knee anytime before the end of his deal.

Sproles is said to want to come back, but will he be the same player he was? Then again, betting against Sproles has always been a losing proposition.

He’d essentially be replacing Smallwood and Barner. Pretty low bar to clear, even at higher salary

He's done an economic job staying fresh throughout his career, for sure wouldn't bet against him

holy cow ajayi only make $768K

needs a better agent

by **stevemc** » Fri Jan 26, 2018 10:23:40

Sproles is already sprinting at the Novacare. My guess is he'll be fine.

He's on his rookie deal. That's what he gets and he don't get upset.

I want him back if only to return punts. I don't know how much we can pay him, though.

I meant when he gets his big payday. No thanks

Wentz just told reporters that he tore both the ACL and the LCL

Jeff McLane it's LCL, not MCL.

Myths McLane strikes again. Glad he corrected himself.

Mt wife was in Pa to help with her sick dad all week. She got back last night with Eagles NFC Champion shirts from Wegman's for my son and me.

I'll never get tired of all this winning.
