You could be correct on big time but the Eagles are in horrible cap space next year at a projected MINUS 11 million. (Ranks 31st) They may go the way of the Pats and take a RB in round 1 next year since they don't appear to have enough money to play in the FA market without a ton of cuts after the season. They future is not real rosy for the Eagles on the financial front.Ruggenater wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 6:51 amI agree with this (except maybe the "big time" addressing of the position in the offseason; I could see the Eagles continuing to build their RB corps via scraps from other teams). Josh Adams has looked like the best of the bunch since Ajayi went down, but this is a pass-first offense paired with an injury-depleted defense. The rushing opportunities are going to be limited, and he's going to continue to share the workload.Ice wrote: ↑Wed Nov 14, 2018 5:17 pm Philly's run offense is a mess. He won't help much. Two down player at best and no one really runs on the Saints these days. He won't be on the field as the Eagles do not want to expose Wentz on passing downs.
Worth a free pick up but the Eagles will be addressing this position big time in the off season. Long term prospects are highly speculative.
Philly could get blown out this week. too many injuries in the secondary.
That said, he's fine as an end-of-the-bench stash. I just wouldn't get your hopes too high.
Yeah, but they can get just shy of $19M in space back by moving on from Nick Foles. Nelson Agholor is a $9.4M decision.Ice wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 10:04 amYou could be correct on big time but the Eagles are in horrible cap space next year at a projected MINUS 11 million.

Love to you, Jigga. I don't disagree, but what about the part at the end of the run where he breaks an arm tackle for an additional 6-7 yards? That's his calling card, yards after contact.
Haha that was good! I mean if he can get going and they give him a workload I think he can be decent. I just dont see much of an opportunity I guess which is why my expectations are greatly temperedmild wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 1:07 pmLove to you, Jigga.

He's just a rookie. He gets downhill fast. For someone you can get free, behind that line and QB, I like him a lot.
Yes, UDFAs don't typically do much. But we should take note of any player once they get their shot. If a guy starts getting playing time, then I start discounting where they came from and what their draft status was.
They might not have a lot of better options. From my understanding, they have cap issues so Bell & Coleman are likely out of the question. I don’t think any rookie RBs warrants Day 1 or 2 selection, so in reality he could be the guy next year as well if he finishes 2018 strong. Not saying he’s got a long-term NFL career ahead, but you could do worse than a 1-2 year run at RB3 production for a waiver wire pick-up.
Yeah, the fact that a UDFA gets playing time can actually say something else. They are fighting against the odds, and are gifted nothing, like players with draft pedigree can be. If they still make it onto the NFL field, there may be something there. Look at Jalen Richard, he's the best back on the Raiders, and he had to take the same route.rubber_duck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 8:43 amYes, UDFAs don't typically do much.

I'm with this reasoning. Eagles are up against the cap, so signing an RB that's going to be handed the job isn't likely. They may draft one, but you never know if he'll be a Ronald Jones and the incumbent hangs onto the job.Forza_Azzurri wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 10:42 amThey might not have a lot of better options.
