Then you go into their 2019 free agent list and see names like Brandon Graham, Chris Long, Foles if the option isn't picked up, Ronald Darby, Jay Ajayi, Mike Wallace and Haloti Ngata.
Brandon Graham is the only top level player on the list.
Darby was a 2 year trade deal who was hurt a little last year but, he is not irreplaceable.
Ajayi same 2 year trade deal with arthritic knee he could go or sign a short term deal.
Long, Wallace and Ngata are all year to year signings that contribute but, not essential.
Some similarities to the Rams.
I find it funny how the NFL media regurgitates this narrative that the Rams are all in for this year. Yet they continue to give the Eagles a free pass on building a team the same way. The worst thing about how they operate is their continual cap hell. They came into this off season in the neighborhood of $10 million over the cap. They cut a few starters and lost a couple starters to free agents while reworking a number of contracts to get to the point they're now $7 million under the cap. Today they redid starting Guard Brandon Brooks.
I don't know about the national media. I follow the Eagles because I listen to the radio sport talk shows here. Howie Roseman is the GM who started out as the account/financial guy. He knows numbers. He had a power struggle with Chip what's his name. Howie prevailed.
It was amazing how he added to a solid foundation last year. Highlighted the bigger moves. Radio jocks were second guess the draft without taking a running back. They second guessed the Sidney Jones pick cause of the achilles injury and other moves. It was amazing how most everything he did worked out. Chance Warmack was the miss but, he did play some. The Eagle had a better foundation last year than the Rams did to start with. I see both teams making similar moves with the Eagles having a more established/veteran base. Howie got them on long term deals that are cheaper than free agents. He resigned them at the right time. As far as the Cap goes I guess there are a couple ways to build a super bowl contender. I like to follow the cap but, I'm not the expert. It seems the Eagles have a couple more year (Wentz new deal) before they have cap problems. The core players are signed for a couple years. Howie being the finance guy leads me to think he has a plan. The Eagles are all in and so are the Rams.
