LOL.

We gave Shaq 2 years worth 27M

Giants gave James 2 years worth 29M

 

If Shaq plays 3 years for us, he costs us 32M

If James plays 3 years for them, he costs them 43M

So, averaged out, we are looking at a top corner for 14.3M per, or an average off ball linebacker for 10.6 per, over 3 years.

 

That's pretty much what I mean, his value is basically in between those figures, IMO.

If Shaq plays 3 years, it will be 36.5M with 3.2M of dead money left to eat. More like 13.2 a year.

Was Pat Stuart the new scout the motivation to bring in Douglas? That guy needs a bonus if so. 

 

 

Make him the new GM, not joking at all.

James Bradberry leads the NFL in passes defended through two games. 

He was making plays Sunday, the type of plays he never made here. It's lame as hell

Dang, missed that, correct.

Makes it look even worse...somehow.

I do know Rasul Douglas was an interception machine in college, but fell into the mid-rounds.  When he did play in Philly he did well, at least his rookie year.  Don't know what happened and don't follow the Eagles that closely, but he's definitely one of those guys who has it in him to be a stud, so not surprised he's working out.  I was surprised Philly cut him.

Yep. I am not saying he was worth the money he wanted but he was damn sure worth more than what we paid Shaq.

The highest paid positions in the NFL (QB, DE, CB, LT) are the ones that are the hardest to fill with above average talent in thru the draft or via free agency. If you have a subpar...or even average...player at any of the above positions it's usually going to come back to bite you sometime during the season. It's easier to find talented linebackers than talented corner backs, especially in today's pass happy NFL.

If I were GM during the past off season I wouldn't have had to think twice about which player to retain, Thompson or Bradberry. I would rather over pay a solid/reliable CB than solid/reliable OLB. Even a cheapskate like David Gettleman realizes that.
