So the Eagles answer to fix the WR problem is..... Drumroll

[BIG JAY]

I really thought we needed to add 1 FA, 1 early round pick from the draft and a later round pick to compete.

I thnk they are going to have to keep about $15 million of that in reserve until they make a final decision on Jeffrey.

I think they may have made their decision on Jeffrey. I know what all the media outlets have been reporting in regards to him being a rat but Big Balls is still denying the riff. Maybe he's willing to look the other way for this season. In my opinion, I think if Jeffrey can get healthy, he can still play at a decent level. If they're paying him anyway, why not just keep him? That being said, Howie needs to nail this draft in regards to the wide receiver position. I don't care if he needs to draft three, he needs to walk away with a starter. I know it's a tall order for Howie but he needs to find a way. Unfortunately, the free agent wide receivers dominos didn't fall the way I would have liked. I don't think the top three wideouts will be within range. I hope I'm wrong.

Nothing.. Brilliant!!

Can't wait for them to miss in the guy they want in the draft, panic and draft a jagoff.

Let's see if they are working a trade or something bc this doesn't look too good. Haven't addressed the position at all lol

They will draft 2, keep Alshon for now and sign Antonio Brown.

I agree with this. I still think he can contribute. The media/fan opinions don't matter. All that matters is what the locker room, particularly Wentz, thinks.

Also, I know it's far from a certainty, but a full season of a healthy DJax helps this offense immensely. I think people are forgetting that because his last season was so forgettable. If they get the right WR in the draft, with the TE's they have, I think they'll be fine.

Slay is a $10M cap hit. Hargrave is $5M. They have $25M in cap space.

They're after Yannick. They'll draft offense next month.

Yeah I only read their true cap numbers today. I was going on their averages plus what was published about their re-signings.They just signed Nickell-Robey as well.

The only thing stopping Jeffrey from being a contributor is his health. He would have put up decent numbers if he stayed healthy. It's not like the NFC is loaded with shutdown corners. If Jeffrey becomes a problem, hopefully, they will have his replacement sitting in the wings and they can move on. Regardless, Howie needs to draft at least two wideouts in this draft.

Did I miss the announcement that rosters are now final? It is March - there are still trades, more WRs will hit the streets in the next 6 months, and this is supposed to be a deep WR draft.

I think Mike Wallace is available.

Per Howie at his press conference, they are good there so I think they will focus on the draft. Hope they go all in and move up for Lamb or Jeudy to be honest.

Edit to add: Wallace hahaha

i thought JJAG was his replacement

I can help Howie right off the bat. Don't draft another Pac-12 wideout again (BCJJ, Agholor, and Huff). Sorry, Laviska Shenault & Brandon Aiyuk, it's not you, it's us. They could end up good somewhere else but it's not happening here.

This is a good post! Agree! Fuck it mortgage the draft and go get Lamb or Jeudy.
