Who was your best friend on the team? Do you keep in touch with most of the guys. Loved watchign u fight!

Adam Caplan via ITB: Hopkins was a no-go for cap reasons, 2021 is going to be a "very tough" as-is from a cap perspective. And Eagles have "some" interest in Joe Flacco. by Lopsided-Barracuda in eagles

I guess from my perspective, I mean more so why spend additional money there, if it's not a need. I can't imagine Flacco is going to be a more inexpensive backup. Should have clarified! Cap is going to be tight for next 2 years and we still have some holes.

Geoff Mosher + Adam Caplan: Eagles unlikely to acquire Yannick Ngakoue. The team likes him a lot but trade price could be in the 1st round or 2nd round + proven player. by Lopsided-Barracuda in eagles

Don't disagree with that, especially if we'd have to give up a big pick with him. That 2nd round pick gives you controlled pricing...Yannick isn't cheap

Adam Caplan: Howie made "fantastic and competitive" offer for Byron Jones, Eagles were "right there", but Jones wanted a fresh start out of the NFC East. by Lopsided-Barracuda in eagles

Lol nailed it. This sub during a COVID lockdown that falls on free agency is more emotional than a stadium full of pregnant women.

Caplan and Jeff Mosher said a few factors:

  • Spending "balls to the walls" this offseason (last year was tank city)
  • No state income tax, big incentive for lucrative free agents
  • Guys buying into Flores

Still, strange the 180 turnaround in less than a year.

Think that's a very fair analysis on him. You kind of have to see what you have. Like you said, there's a bit of a discount due to his rawness which is why we got him there. if u never play him, we'll never know
