A career backup coming off of a major injury, I can't imagine his value is much if anything over vet min. For vet min or not much more I'd be all for bringing him back. He knows the system, he's familiar with his OL teammates, and he's well acclimated to being that versatile OL backup. We shouldn't be counting on him to return to form but I'd be all for giving him that opportunity at a value contract.

Just win. It's gonna be hard as long as we remain steadfastly committed to Bryce. Signing another noodle armed QB and seemingly zeroing in on another noodle armed late rounder is not encouraging. I don't know why we seem obsessed with QBs who lack an NFL arm. The only way I can make it make sense is we don't want someone in camp making Bryce's arm look bad in comparison. I just don't get it. When Jake was our starter if you didn't know any better and just went to watch a camp practice you would've tabbed Wienke as our starter ten times out of ten. He was the one who looked the part and was slinging frozen rope tight spirals all over the field but come game day Jake was that dude. Dude's are gonna dude. Stop being afraid to hurt Bryce's fee fees.

Oh please, bad teams have been gobbling up free agents for years. Every guy talks about wanting to go to a winner but the vast majority end up signing on the dotted line for the highest offer made. Don't delude yourself into thinking we're a sought after destination for someone looking to win. I mean we're in the midst of eight consecutive losing seasons but win the worst division in the league by default and it makes some fans think we've arrived.

Cuts wouldn't scare me near as much as "restructures".

I think we're about to see some serious Hurney

Still wouldn't be mad about it if we did. Not 1st/2nd, but one in the 1st or 2nd then another somewhere in the mid-rounds. This draft is setup for it IMO.

Basically what his 5th year option was gonna be if the Jags had picked it up. I don't think teams were willing to go all in on a guy who finally flashed in a contract year.

$25M guaranteed ain't bad.

No clue but I would've rather had Wilson than Pickett. At least Wilson has tools to work with. Pickett is just a younger, more expensive Dalton brought in to be no threat to Bryce.

He looked terrible. The right move is to bring in legit competition. Don't pull a Panthers and be three years down the road and still refusing to do it.

Yes the fug you do. When a guy is one of the worst starting QBs over the course of his three year career you dint want him sitting comfortably. It's past time to turn uo the heat on this guy but we just keep pretending like he's a franchise QB as if that'll turn him onto one.

This is so fuging weak. We are terrified of putting any pressure on Bryce and bringing anyone in who actually has an NFL caliber arm.

It's hard to sell me on being serious about winning now when we seem hellbent on not putting any pressure on Bryce in the form of any real competition. Please sign someone with NFL tools and prove me wrong. I'd love to see it.

$30M/yr = 26th in the league. That's crazy. Those were QB numbers just a few years ago.

From the biggest, most knowledgeable Eagles fan I know

We already gave a huge contract to an oft-injured edge rusher. IMO, we need to back off of the likely top paid ILB on the market. We probably need to target someone in the 3-5 range there and add another in the draft.

Yeah, it's not even about football to me. He's QBing a division rival so I obviously hope he struggles but I don't want to see the guy wearing a bib drooling on himself the rest of his life. His family really should convince him to walk away. He should have serious generational wealth in the bank already.

Oh wee mayne, that's a big concern as we well know from our experiences with Luke, our current GM, Oher, etc. Anyone who follows the fight game knows that once the concussions start piling up the chin just doesn't recover. Once that jaw is cracked it's a real tough row to hoe.

My concern is the injury issue. He has missed a lot of games in his career.

I really don't even think he was treated that badly. I just think there was a massive disconnect between the media hype and how the media perceived him as an NFL prospect and how he was actually perceived by the NFL. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not a similar thing with Arch Manning. When I watched Shedeur I saw a really good college QB who was fun and exciting to watch but who just didn't have the tool set to be drafted as a starting NFL QB. I said forever that forget #1 overall, this guy isn't a 1st round prospect. He looks like a typical mid-round flyer type QB pick. With Arch, I don't even see a good college QB. I see a guy largely being carried by a great roster. We'll see if he develops next year but that throwing motion is a mess which is shocking from a Manning and it's really impacting his ability to generate velocity and be consistent with accuracy. If he was in this year's draft I'd honestly expect him to go around the same area of the draft that Shedeur did. They're starting the hype train back up again but based on what we've seen so far I think it's nuts to be talking about this guy as a likely Heisman winner and #1 overall pick. Basically, now I know why Texas was sticking with Ewers when they supposedly had this slam dunk generational prospect riding the pine - Ewers was simply better.

Hell, many still are. Clinging to that absurd Pro Bowl nomination like its an MVP and a Lombardi.

This. Watching the media go right back to proclaiming him the favorite for the Heisman and #1 overall pick next year is wild.

Quoting your own tweet as a source is hilarious.

With continued declining interest in the Panthers.

I don't think I've ever seen a player be so coddled and catered to by a team in the NFL while pretty clearly holding the team back. We just can't get over that massive sunk cost of that trade.
