CB room…Slay, Mitchell, Dejean, ringo, Maddox, rodgers & Ricks on the team with Jobe, McPherson, Goodrich, bradberry all gone… IMO the bubble guy if they keep 6 would be ricks, rodgers or Maddox but Rodgers is a Sirianni guy & has shown way more than Eli ricks in this league. Keep Tyler hall if hes up on Maddox!! Good call

[@SamuraiXKdubs]

You should make a who makes it board of possibilities like Rosman does for the draft. Every scenario

[@Lightnite12]

Isaih Rodgers is HUNGRY w. solid tape. He needs to be on this team!

[@user-kv4js6mq1w]

Don’t forget Shon Stephens 👀 he signed a 3 year deal

[@InsideTheBirds]

He'll be discussed in August for roster breakdown if he's still with the team. Interesting player.

[@bigga5406]

@@InsideTheBirdsHow rare is it though for a player to practice 2 days and sign a 3 YEAR DEAL? I’ve never heard or seen this. Very interesting.

[@InsideTheBirds]

Most UDFAs get 3 yr deals unless agent won't accept

[@Vigornomy]

My prediction for SECONDARY CB 11 Slay Eli ricks Mitchell Ringo Nickel BRADBERRY Rogers MADDOX S CJGJ DEJEAN BLANKENSHIP JONES No fly zone #flyeaglesfly

[@icdogg2361]

NFL roster rules have changed the whole dynamic. Now you can bring up practice squad guys up to 3 times. So you think more about who you are most worried about being poached off your practice squad, knowing that you have these promotions to use. It's almost as good as having more roster spots. So you don't need the same balance.

[@InsideTheBirds]

Problem is, as we discussed, non-vested players are subject to waivers. That's the only way they can get to the practice squad (pass through waivers unclaimed). There's a saying in scouting: "any player you put through waivers you're willing to lose."

[@bigjigg5672]

@icdogg2361 Yeah, but that's a DANGEROUS game..... That's why they kept 3 QBS on the roster last year!💯

[@paulmancini-sb9qn]

How much $$$ would Eagles be willing to pay to Trade Bradberry? There are lots of needy Teams for experienced CB’s but not at hus current Salary

[@davemartz8077]

Maybe throwing a sixth rounder next year could entice a CB needy team​@@paulmancini-sb9qn

[@icdogg2361]

@@InsideTheBirds this is true but it's also exactly why you might only keep a sparse number of inside LBs, for example. If you only have a few worth protecting, but you have extra secondary players who are more likely to be claimed, you hold onto the latter and take the risk that you may need to dredge up street free agent linebackers or possibly crosstrain a guy like Jalyx Hunt to play there. Or, play a lot of 5-1 Penny where you only need one inside LB.

[@RegalEagle1979]

Love you guys to death, but I'm not rooting for the Knicks after the way their fans acted during round 1 vs. the 76ers. I want them and the Celtics out of the playoffs. 😅

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

Let's see if they allow O-Lines to hold and trip Jalen Carter all saeason again or if he actually gets respect from the refs.

[@InsideTheBirds]

FYI: his overall effort and play regressed late in the season so that will have to change.

[@poppsosa6289]

​@@InsideTheBirdsthe went down hill because of the new DC had the DTS doing something totally different in the middle of the season two gapping every play

[@InsideTheBirds]

Wrong, according to Eagles opponents. Several of them commented how he freelanced. Not going to work with new DC.

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

@@InsideTheBirds - He hit the proverbial wall too, so that didn't help. Obviously Fangio will demand more, but Jalen being Held and tripped every game was a real thing, on crucial downs too. I believe he is so dominant an athlete that O-Lines will have to cheat to create any advantage they can.

[@hitmanchris]

OMFG what 4 or 5 DT sub isn't a JAG. Please stop this they need to add or are we sure about so and so. Like NO team runs that deep in depth where the player is really highend. Marlon T and Moro should get a great look in camp and since it's only MAY maybe Howie can see if somebody can be had.

[@Tmindful182]

You really think they would let van Sumerian get scooped up by the rest of the NFL? Didn’t the giants say he looked really good? We already lost Ellis last year trying to hang onto morrow cause he ran at the QB unabated 3 times in one game… how many solid young players are we going to lose for 1 year mercenaries? possibly the worst thing that could have happened to the eagles was this fantasy that nick morrow was a starter in the NFL worth losing your young talent.

[@InsideTheBirds]

Again; 6 ILBs, hard to keep everyone but there's some roster manipulation that they can use with the veterans to help make it work

[@Tmindful182]

@@InsideTheBirds thanks!

[@stephengraham7950]

Ugh. Check your math

[@InsideTheBirds]

Yeah, we went over the limit 😏
