freebird310 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You guys have Vick and Jacksons contract coming up, and mark my words, Vick is going to bankrupt you guys. He still lives a very lavish lifestyle and he's just now recovering from bankruptcy, i've heard rumour he'll be wanting upwards of 17-18 Mil a year.Jackson will want quite a bit too. Also if you guys accquire DRC I think he'd give you a cap hit as well.To put plainly, you guys cant afford Edwards or Johnson.I got a feeling Vick will get the big payday, then screw the Iggles somehow like he did us ...poetic justice you might call it .....

USAF HART Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 We absolutely DO NOT need Edwards. Dude played opposite of Jared Allen, and the Williams' brothers and couldn't even reach double digit sacks. No thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slewis1952 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 So are you telling me we are not going after a good defensive end to rush the QB since we couldn't do it last year? You have to be kidding me!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsd56 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 It was Runyan before the Owens/Kearse year....he was another big aquisition. Then there was Asante Samuel...And it's not always FAs...soemtimes its a trade that requires a new contract (Jason Peters)...They don't shy away from paying...if its the guy they want...Ok Runyan came over in what 2000?The next big "splurge" was 04Samuel came over in 08?Peters came over last yearIt has happened but its not overly common.

If a team is then they are probably not doing a good job with the draft.My only point is that any team that has 3-4 top tier free agent aquisitions over the last decade or so can't be said to be 'out of the game'.And the cap isn't an issue (like the other poster said). Eagles are currently under by a little more than 22 million....and that's factoring in Vick's franchise salary of $16 mil already. So even if he did sign for what the other poster suggested, it wouldn't change a thing....it may even give them more to spend depending on how they structured the deal.

McMVP Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 they're like the olympics it sounds likePretty much - but a **** of a pace for acquiring top tier guys. There are only a few top guys per year...and 32 teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
