The amount of Eagles crying going on today is ridiculous. Nakobe Dean and Reed Blankenship were always going to leave. Jaelan Phillips was overpaid by about $5-$10m AAV. This free agent class is bad. The team still has draft picks and cash to fill the few holes we have.
The Phillies did something good this offseason! Now Jesus Luzardo is going to spend all of his prime years in red pinstripes on a great deal. Good work Dave.
Karl Malone is trending. What does that have to do with the Eagles? Demetress Bell signed a 5/$35m contract to play LT 14 years ago. That and a bunch of other bad contracts below (this is probably in poor taste, but the writing is how I learned about it)

There was a lot going on in the NFL yesterday. Here is how all of it affected the Eagles including reaction to the trio of Eagles who left in free agency: Jaelan Phillips, Nakobe Dean, and Reed Blankenship
Looks like they had interest but not enough
This was up there with Napoleon McCallum in terms of nauseating me live.
Finally getting to Reed Blankenship signing with the Texans for around 3/$25m. At that price it's a surprise the Eagles didn't bring him back. I guess they wanted nothing to do with him
Oh man, getting there. Just saw it as I was finishing up with Luzardo. Can't believe Reed went for that low and we didn't match him
While we were all distracted by the Eagles, the Phillies made a great deal by resigning Jesus Luzardo to a 5/$135m extension. This rotation will have Cristopher Sanchez and Luzardo at the top for the next 5 years. Luzardo is 28 and Sanchez is 29. Unreal

Holy shit! While I was worried about the NFL the Phillies (almost) totally redeem themselves by signing Jesus Luzardo to a 5/$135m extension!!!
Thankfully the Cowboys had zero interest in a winner and culture setter like Nakobe Dean. He's exactly the kind of player they need and don't want
Huge sigh of relief across Eagles fandom as Nakobe Dean heads to Las Vegas instead of Dallas. No one really wanted him to leave, but he had to. Really happy Dean won a ring in Philly.
Huge relief that Nakobe Dean is not going to the Cowboys. 3/$36m to the Raiders
It's football so GregHardCap works
Definitely keep it
If the Hawks would have just called it Ass-piration night Adam Silver would have ignored it
Yeah, the thought was just the first 3. The more the merrier!
The Eagles comp picks are now official:
- Round 3, #98 for Milton Williams
- Round 4, #137 for Josh Sweat
- Round 5, #178 for Mekhi Becton
- Round 6, #215 for Isaiah Rodgers
For all the people ragging on the Cowboys for the Rashan Gary trade this morning, if the Eagles want Jonathan Greenard, it would be essentially the same trade from a picks, production, and cap standpoint.
Looking at the Eagles EDGE pursuit which no longer includes Boye Mafe (Bengals) or Odafe Oweh (Commanders) who were just overpaid. Everyone who laughed at the Cowboys Rashan Gary trade earlier needs to reevaluate. His deal would be similar to a potential Jonathan Greenard trade from the Vikings
Updating the Eagles current situation including the Nakobe Dean and Reed Blankenship markets, the Jaelan Phillips aftermath, and having between $25m and $30m to spend
Bryan Toporek (does not want to spend 2.5 hours watching the Cavaliers beat the piss out of the Sixers) is DOUBTFUL for tonight's game
Just stressing to Eagles fans that the $9m cap savings number for Jordan Davis is probably not right. It's possible, but it would mean he received ZERO signing bonus which is not common
The same Eagles reporters who claimed Jaelan Phillips was about to re-sign with the Eagles are the ones who have been claiming AJ Brown will be traded. I am not saying they are being dishonest, but you can be sure that their sources are not within the Eagles front office.
Former Eagle Jahan Dotson to the Atlanta Falcons for 2/$15m. I'll forever love Dotson for not being Quez Watkins when it mattered most. This should mean Darius Cooper gets a bigger role in the Eagles offense.
Coby Bryant signs with the Bears got 3/$40m, the 2nd safety contract at that price today. This is good Eagles news considering a lower price for Reed Blankenship
I'm in my car waiting in the school pickup line frantically refreshing my phone and texting about NFL Free Agency and didn't realize free bird came on in the background. I felt like Jenny about to jump off the building in Forest Gump
Eagles are releasing and re-signing Michael Carter. The move saves around $7.5m in cap space. However, most others already assumed this would happen so cap space remains around $25m depending on the Jordan Davis signing bonus
Updates with the signings of Jaelan Phillips in Carolina, Malik Willis in Miami, and Isaiah Likely in New York. Really thought Phillips was coming back to the Eagles.
Well shit. Jaelan Phillips leaves the Eagles for the Carolina Panthers at 4/$120m
