25m for the first 6 years, then 325 in yr 7?

No, no no. 10m total for the first 6 years and then 440 in yr 7. Perfect backloaded contract right? our salary cap should be about 300m in year 7

oh good, even better. Then we can restructure the deal in year 7 and spread it out into kingdom come.

I love your avi

 

[JAAM]

Not sure I’m a fan of either guy tbh

 

[JAAM]

Wait… apparently Seattle fans really like Canales and don’t want him to leave

 

[cdp]

Well i didn't expect thesee two guys to be on our short list.
Anyone familiar with the Seahawk qb coach?

When we interviewing Brian Johnson and Frank Reich?

When we interviewing Brian Johnson and Frank Reich?

I'm wondering if Brian Johnson ends up becoming the new OC of the Eagles, once Steichen becomes a head coach and I believe Reich has had some HC interviews.

Only Zach Robinson, Chad O'Shea and Dave Canales have been mentioned, but there will be more.

blood pressure with Greg Roman 200 over 170

blood pressure increases with each passing day without an OC
120 over 70
130 over 80
140 over 90

My blood pressure is steady at 220/110 until we find out about Lamar's faith. After that it either goes to normal 140/75 (slightly elevated due to excitement) or I'm blowing up.

Jefferson was drafted at #22 and we have the 22nd pick.

We will most likely take best player available and CB could be the best player available. I'd like to solve the WR issue in free agency, but we will have to have extended Lamar by that point.

...yeah, but that was two years before three teams traded their number one WR's instead of trying to re-sign them... I just think the world has changed with respect to drafting WR's. Teams reached before, but I think they are going to take more chances in getting the ones they want early even more now to work with rookie contracts. Plus, I'm with you, I just want them to pay proven commodities in FA and do what they do well in the draft which is not WR.

You like him more than Bieniemy?

I don't think teams are that desperate, or that things are now completely different after just two years. Especially in a draft where there isn't really any top tier, must get WR. Honestly if the Ravens were picking in the top half I wouldn't touch this group of WRs.

But I do agree that we can't be depending on taking a good WR in the first. We should get at least a couple vets in FA.
