Philadelphia Eagles General Thread

Ha, ha, ha, all this after one good season. The odds are better that he'll be Lamar Jackson Jr. rather than Mahomes Jr.

ESPN's Dan Graziano reports the price has "likely gone to $50 million a year or more" for Eagles QB Jalen Hurts.​

Eagles GM Howie Roseman said the team hopes to sign Hurts early in the offseason. With Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson all due extensions, the Eagles want to get out ahead on Hurts, who is in the final year of his contract. Hurts doesn't have a fifth-year option as a second-round pick and is likely to be the first of the QB extensions. Hurts' contract could be structured similar to the deal the Eagles gave Carson Wentz in 2019, with Hurts signing a four-year deal with 80% of it guaranteed.

Please do Howie.

Lane Johnson gets a much deserved $33 million contract for the upcoming season. He’s an absolute beast and hasn’t given up a sack in either of the last 2 seasons. Played the last few games this year with a torn adductor muscle. His wife was a high jumper at OU.

The Eagles as of now will have a 4/5 White o-line this season, with only the Poly Mailata starting at LT. Reed Blankenship is listed as the starter at free safety, and of course Dallas Goedert is one of the better tight ends in the league. Nothing to get excited about but still better than a fair amount of teams in the Caste NFL.

ESPN's Tim McManus writes that OG Cam Jurgens is the favorite to take over the Eagles starting right guard job.​

Isaac Seumalo signed with the Steelers in free agency, and Jurgens was a second-round pick in 2022 that the team was supposedly grooming to be Jason Kelce's replacement at center. That could still eventually happen, but Jurgens is also the best candidate the Eagles have to start in Seumalo's place at the moment. It looks like the second-year player will have a real role in 2023.

I still remember when the eagles were trotting out Pinkston and Thrash as wr. People really didn’t question how there really weren’t any white wr better than those 2 plus freddie mitchell! I include myself on that group and looking back I can’t believe i believed “the best players play”

Todd Pinkston? Lol. That guy was like 6'3" and 160 lbs. They'll fudge and say he was heavier than that but I never believed it. Talk about a guy who didn't believe in weight training. He wanted his cake and to eat it too, without over exerting himself to get it.

The Eagles went after some strangely sized guys. CB Mark McMillian at 5'6" and 150 lbs. And he wasn't even very fast. He was on a lot of highlight reels for the other team. Only person that would fear him would've been Pinkston. Lol.

Oh man I remember Pinkston and the eagles garbage receiving corps in the early 2000s. I went to school in pa and many friends were eagles fans so I always took an opportunity to mock them (this was back before my total caste system awareness). I can still remember a MNF broadcast and Joe Theisman stating Pinkston had “alligator body” because he just gave up completely on a pass. Thrash was another mediocre player and Mitchell made one big catch but was otherwise a first round bust.
