OK... he's a thought...

The Philadelphia Eagles are in cap hell for 2017. One name that has been talked about as a possible cut is former Pro Bowl LT Jason Peters. He's a bit long in the tooth (he turns 35 later this month), but could be a nice stop-gap until we can get a draft pick ready. 

Shhhh, don't tell Philly, but not only would I take him, but I'd give as much as a 6th for him and his $11.5 million hit over the next two years.  Add him to the mix I say.  Obviously something must be done.  Zero excuses.

I'm all in favor of trading for one of the older big name vets.  Thomas, Staley, Peters mentioned above...don't really care. At this point, a draft pick is worth the 2-3 years we hopefully get out of them to help fix our line issues. 

 

No, I wouldn't be crazy about let's say...trading a 2nd round pick for one of those guys. But, a lot better getting the sure thing (IMO), than drafting a guy we "hope" develops into a decent OT. 

The time to kick ass is NOW

Sign me up in the group that's mighty concerned about relying on Oher next season. It'd be a huge gamble to rely on someone who had lingering concussion symptoms for that long. I know it seems like Oher wants to play next year, but we have to at the very least upgrade our OT depth. When he went down, it threw the entire line into disarray because it forced Remmers to move from RT to LT, so we had to fit in new starters at two positions. The fact that Remmers was our best option at LT says all that's needed to be said about our depth at LT. It's nonexistent.

the free agent tackle class looks pretty lame this year

as usual the panthers have a dilemma like this at the worst possible time

But but, there are always quality left tackles available, and the Panthera brass just ignore the position!!!! They hate Cam!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Am I right?

And that's why Gettleman should have at least explored the possibility of signing Jared Veldheer when he became available like I suggested. I rue the day we overlooked him to tag Hardy.

Thomas FA in 2019, Stanley in 2020...

Doesn't bother me a bit. We have plenty of money,  the cap keeps increasing every year, plus restructured deals aren't out of the question. From a professional standpoint, they'd probably have plenty of incentives to move.

Acquisition by trade is not my first option, but it's my second (depending upon the details).

The Eagles have a young QB they just took #2 overall who looks promising. Unless they have a young OT who they think is ready to go with no significant drop off I doubt they'd be willing to part with Peters.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
