maybe howie can turn all three 7s into a fifth.

He did it - he turned two 7s into a fifth

[LegoDoom]

You may be right and maybe I am only thinking of trading for players as a reason to bypass the compensation rules.

That being said.... Swift isn't signing a lucrative contract and the Lions are likely shedding salary and getting a future 4th.

[xogfog]

Man, the Cowboys took my sleeper pick Deuce Vaughn, hope he doesn’t come back to haunt us. He is Sproles 2.0, maybe he won’t make their team.

[zambonir]

Well, Sproles works for Howie (and was a 4th-round pick himself) so maybe they didn't see it. Kind of loaded up on RBs now too.

We are going to end up releasing players from this roster that not only play but start for other teams. At what point do we start talking about Howie Roseman and building a freaking statue. Not only does he outsmart every other team in these trades, he somehow maneuvers the cap in ways that other teams can't figure out and year after year he brings in guys on one year contracts that have career years.

Not sure if this is the complete list of undrafted free agents signed by the Eagles. I saw a headline saying UDFA's are starting to bid their signing bonuses up that some teams prefer to draft their targets in the 7th and sign them to slot to save money - maybe that's why Houston was trying to accumulate 7th rounders - or maybe its because Houston has a tough time signing UDFAs.

Joseph Ngata - WR - Clemson
Eli Ricks - CB - Alabama
Trevor Reid - OT - Louisville
Ty Zentner - P/K - Kansas State
Chim Okorafor - OL - Benedcitine
Brady Russell - TE - Colorado
Mekhi Barner - CB - LSU
Jadon Haselwood - WR - Arkansas
Ben Van Sumeren - LB - Mich St

[Squire]

That's what I have too for UDFAs. In the last 2 years I think the NFL has also added another concept of "the rookie camp invite" which is a guy who does NOT have a contract but gets invited to the mini-camp after the draft with the hope of becoming a signed UDFA. With those 8 I think I have the Eagles 90 man roster at 86-88ish. I also do not know whether Josh Sills counts against the 90 man roster.

I like BirdDogs better, but I’m biased because I have one (Chesapeake Bay Retriever)

[zambonir]

That would be BirdDawgs!

Another explanation for that cowboys pick Xog

A Dallas Cowboys Scout Got to Draft His Own Son

[bkeich]

That was easy

Jalen Carter becomes first first-rounder to agree to NFL contract

[xogfog]

The Eagles also have signed sixth-round QB Tanner McKee and seventh-round DT Moro Ojomo.

[bkeich]

I am reminded of a few seasons ago when we didn't sign a 7th round pick because we ran out of rookie cap space.

If I was a 7th round pick for any team I would be waiting at 8am at the team facility the day after the draft to sign my contract.

[bkeich]

It is hard not to get excited for this season. Frankly, this team is simply loaded, with the exception of Hurts I am not even sure we have a possible failure point. Brown would be tough to replace also.

That said, I hope we add some LB and Safety help, as both positions may be a little weak. Howie surprised us last year by adding Bradberry and CJGJ right before camp, I hope he has a couple moves like that in mind again. Maybe a WR, maybe an OL depth piece, but honestly if we went into the season with this roster we are prohibitive favorites to win the NFC.

The 70 sacks from last year might be broken, which is crazy. We are going to have 2nd team DL that would be the best DL on a lot of teams.

[xogfog]

The Eagles should sign Matt Araiza right now, he is exonerated from any charges and was proven to not have been present when the rape happened. The Eagles are the perfect tam for him with plenty of good veterans to help rehabilitate his image like they did with other players in the past. That aside, the Eagles need a better punter and “the punt god” could be the answer.

[bkeich]

Truly sad that this is the punishment for murdering this poor girl. 156 mph Drunk, seems pretty foreseeable the outcome would be bad. Sent her car 571 feet. Someone should be ashamed of themselves that this is the punishment, well, maybe all of us should be.

Jalen Carter got off even cheaper. I hope someday these things will be taken seriously.
