I'm beginning to wonder if the eagles are as smart as advertised. The hurts' contract is gonna most likely be bad going forward esp now that the tush push may be done without Kelce leading the way

They were already basically up there. Per OTC, Nelson signed with Indy in 2022 for $20M a year, and Lindstrom signed in 2023 w/ Atl for $20.5M a year

Wouldn't have thought that seeing how everyone melts about a $10mm LB deal or $35 mm QB deal

Because they keep comparing those numbers to contracts like Brees' instead of the contracts that are active today.

Kelce must be Superman and the only lineman in the world do the tush push.

He's been one of or the best center in the game for a while now. Yeah, I think a play that very much involves him is now a question mark

That's a bad way to build a team...but if there's any team where it makes sense, it's probably Philadelphia.

It depends on the player cochise and the length of the contract

At these prices, you need rookie plug and play guards right out of the drafts.

That's exactly what the PFF guy Underhill brought in suggested we draft. I'll look up the name

Troy Fatanu Washington LT

says he can play multiple positions and is his highest rated G

He certainly made the play a lot more effective for them but that doesn’t mean it can’t still work, just maybe not 99.9% of the time

I say "question mark". You say "maybe". Isn't this the same thing?

What we need is an honest look at percentages.

When the cap was $150 million what percentage went to Starting QB, T, G, DE, MLB and Top CB.

Now look a the cap being $250 million.
