shady mccoy was the only eagle I liked

at least I can go back to hating them full time

[Moviefan1203]

I don't get why the Titans aren't smoke screening the shit out of taking Mariota. Sell that pick!

Damn now I have to rethink keeping Lesean in my fantasy league. Rex likes to pound the rock. Sigh!

That Dez trade isn't looking too good now

But ya tough call since that's a totally different offense then the high scoring eagles

Because we're the Titans. We are dumb. We are the new Raiders/Browns of the league. Our front office is an absolute joke, and children whose balls haven't even dropped yet could draft better than us.

Ruston Webster is the worst GM in the league... and he will prove that in FA and the draft by sucking ass horribly.

Forgive me for having no faith, but when this team continuously goes against what they should be doing (what I say they should do) and has to "rebuild" every year, I can't have faith. Prove me wrong, Titans. Sack up and get your sh*t together or I will be watching games from home. I've about had ENOUGH of this garbage. It's unacceptable. TN is a football state and you pump out crap every season.

As a PSL owner, I filled out a survey and absolutely ripped the game day experience and told them to put a better product on the field.

We fired the guy in charge of game day experience. And we fired the VP of player personnel.

Not saying I caused that to happen, but I have a feeling plenty of PSL owners said the same thing... And at least we are firing the losers who suck at their jobs.

I wouldn't take Dez with a first rounder this year, so I'm good with it.

I'm thinking of keeping him. Before I wasn't going to keep him and I was going to keep Forte and Latavius.

It was clear the Eagles really wanted the cap space..and they got it while getting a good LB. Dumping Cole...Shady..they have a good amount of $$

I'm guessing the Eagles are about to go on a spending spree in free agency.

Yep! While I would've felt better if they traded McCoy for some picks, the cap relief and a needed depth player, is good for the team.
Trust me McCoy has got a ton of touches, so far in his career...since he started so young. His prime window, most likely, will be lower than most, but that remains to be seen.
Philly just trimmed ~$40mil off the cap. I can only wonder if they are in play for Suh or Hardy, but I can't imagine Chip or the Philly front office would want character issue guys.
At least the trading of McCoy ends the Mariota speculation. As he was the only real shot they had of landing a top pick. Whew!

I read that Chip may use Mariota as a smokescreen, and instead be targeting Hundley. Obviously all speculation at this point, but without McCoy getting Mariota will cost a shitload of picks.

Personally I'd like to see what a complete 16 game season of Nick Foles will yield! Definitely the cheapest option right now, and allows the team to build in other areas. I can only hope Chip feels the same way. We shall see.
Either way the Eagles are in position to do quite a bit. Which is both thrilling and scary all at the same time!

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't give up what it would take to move up to get Mariota rather than give Foles a chance. In 2013 he was 8-2 as a starter and in 2014 he was 6-2. There are durability issues with him but to move up to a spot to take Mariota would probably take 3 first rounders and some other picks and that's just too expensive. Maybe if Mariota slides past the Jets and the price falls it would be worthwhile but with the cap space the Eagles have they could add the pieces to compete for a Super Bowl in 2015 with Foles at QB, which I doubt they could do with a rookie under center.

I couldn't, possibly, agree more!
All I can I say right now is: In Chip We Trust!

[Eye Candy]

Cowboys lock up Cole Beasley, who was set to be a restricted free agent, agreed to a four-year deal worth roughly $14 million and $7 million guaranteed.

[fatediesel]

Bills keep trading, this time acquiring Matt Cassel from the Vikings for an undisclosed draft pick. I'm assuming the pick is a conditional 2016 pick based on playing time that could end up being nothing because there's a chance the Vikings would have cut Cassel with a $4.15 million base salary, $500,000 roster bonus and $100,000 workout bonus.

Well their goes their shot at the AFC East if those are the 2 QBs they are sticking with

[Moviefan1203]

Nice move getting Cassel. He comes with a low cost and is a decent band aid if Manuel doesn't show improvement. All we need is a game manager with our playmakers on offense and stud defense. Manuel will certainly be given every opportunity to win the job, but we have to have a backup plan just in case.

Agree with you here. Cassel & McCoy & that defense. I'm seeing an awesome season coming for the Bills. Cassel has done pretty great as backup, good enough as a starter, especially for a team so primed and ready [remember his season starting for Patriots?]
