[@corey2232]

Tee Higgins requesting a trade, Cousins going to Atlanta, Miami's defense disappearing, Barkley going to the Eagles.... Free Agency has been crazy so far!

[@jamboori4478]

And every hour something new happens

[@wakingforbacon6439]

Miami had a defense? Wow who knew? 😂😂😂

[@rickbrenner6079]

With Wilkins and VanGinkle on their defense last season, and Vic Fangio as their “well-respected DC”, Miami didn’t do Jack. They were unable to beat ANY of the GOOD teams they played during the Regular Season, and in 4 of those 5 losses, the Dolphins basically got dominated on both sides of the ball, getting slaughtered 56-17 against Baltimore, for example. Despite having a 3-game lead in the AFC East over Buffalo going into December, the Dolphins end up losing the division title to Buffalo in the last week of the Regular Season, going from a 2-seed (had the Dolphins won that final game against Buffalo) to a 6-seed. And then as the 6-seed, the warm-weather Dolphins get crushed in the Wildcard Round in Kansas City with a wind chill of -30F. If Miami got those results WITH Wilkins, VanGinkel, & Fangio, then I don’t see how losing Wilkins, VanGinkel, & Fangio is going to make that big of a difference for the ‘24 Dolphins. If Miami got to the AFC Championship last season, I might feel differently. Like . . . Ugh! The Phins were SO close to getting to their first Super Bowl in 40 yrs! And yet the Phins’ Front Office lets these three defensive “stars” leave Miami in the off season after they really helped the Dolphins get to the AFC Championship?!? That would be an entirely different story. But even if the Dolphins KEPT VanGinkel, Wilkins, & Fangio for the ‘24 season, why should I get excited about that when we already saw that it got us to an immediate exit from the playoffs: a “one and done”, which is basically the same as NOT making the playoffs at all? The Dolphins may as well have finished 2-15 last season. At least then they would’ve gotten a decent draft pick.

[@CouchCit]

Now I really want Russ to go HAM and play excellently, just to prove Nick wrong

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

As a Philly fan, I too had the same immediate reaction as Nick. I love Saquon but a RB was NOT our need. I also love that he’s getting paid what he deserves, but that just takes money away from addressing our ACTUAL needs. And we had 2 legends retire. I’m…just gonna hope for the best

[@XeoMacNasty]

The Eagles, as you should know, were insanely bad at picking up blitzes ... This is anyway better blocking RB than they've had in years. And he takes the load off of Hurts running in short yardage.

[@iHidWaldo]

Everyone should understand Howie is far from done. One of our d-line will be traded and love the legends but their retirement frees up cap space

[@daliguj221]

Eagles also cut Maddox. I’d be shocked if they didn’t address the secondary in the first round at this point

[@Zlopez671]

⁠@@iHidWaldothank you!!! They talk as if this is the last day of Free Agency ! And they’re not taking into account the cap space Philadelphia has on top of the minimal cap hit Hurts’ contract takes due to the way it’s structured.

Thank you! That drop off was so obvious that there was a coaching problem and or locker room issues not skill based problems. I mean yeah we could use some new talent on defense but it’s definitely was more coaching then any just look how our offense looked stuck and frustrated with all the deep ball plays when that not our still.

[@20oldenough]

The correct statement is if you run the ball well . . . Which we should all expect they will IF Barkley can remain healthy. Why? Because they already ran the ball well with a RB at a fraction of the price last season. How much did running the ball well help that terrible secondary last season? Why should running the ball well this season produce a different result?

Philadelphia still has $39 million in cap space and if they do a one year restructure for Hassan Reddick, (and they will) they gain $11 million for a total of $50 million+ in cap space to throw at the defensive issues this year. That is more than enough for huge improvements to the defense with plenty of rollover cap left. Amazing general manager.

I don't understand why the Eagles did this as a fan. We need DBs!

[@20oldenough]

Perhaps they are waiting for the Chiefs to trade L'Jarius Sneed, a young top CB likely to be in his prime for a number of years (similar to what they did with Tyreek). If they do, it will likely be right before the draft which seems to increase the haul. But, as a Chiefs' fan, I hope they don't settle for chump change for that guy, because he is an excellent corner.
