Cut/Let Go

QB Vince Young

Sucks
RB Ronnie Brown

See VY
WR Steve Smith

See VY and Brown
OT King Dunlap

Good depth but I think he will get starter money elsewhere
OT Winston Justice

He sucks and cutting him saves us around $2.3M
DE Jaqua Parker

Hes olllllddddd
DE Victor Abiamiri

Wouldn't surprise me if he was given another chance but it's time to move on
DE Daryl Tapp

Often injured, plus this saves us around $2.5M in cap space
DT Trevor Laws

Disappointing, never really amounted to much
DT Mike Patterson

We could look to trade Patterson rather than just releasing him but he is nothing more than a mediocre starter. This would save us around $3.25M in cap space.
LB Moise Fokou

Was kind of over hyped going into this season, had a disappointing year where he ended up on IR. I think we look elsewhere for our starting SAM

Re Signings

FB Owen Schmitt – 3 Years // 6M

Not the most talented guy in the world but a lead good blocker and a solid overall FB. Don't try to fix something that isn't broken, right?

OG Evan Mathis – 2 Years // 9M

Great run blocker and a good fit for Howard Mudd's scheme.

DT Antonio Dixon – 2nd Round Tender

Doesn't appear to be a good fit for the Wide-9 but he's a talented guy and deserves a shot in Washburn's scheme.

DT Derek Landri - 1 Year // 1M

Was impressive in the limited action he saw late in the season. He has definitely earned a spot on the roster.

S Tom Nelson - 1 Year // Vet Minimum

Fills in for Colt Anderson whilst he's still recovering from his ACL injury.

WR DeSean Jackson - Franchise Tagged

Still only 25, should be able to get some good value if he's traded.

Free Agency

LB Manny Lawson - 3 Years // 13M

Not an elite linebacker but Lawson is a very solid SAM with great athleticism. He would give us some stability at strong-side linebacker along with Rolle at weak side we would have atleast respectable LB corps with hopefully someone stepping up at MIKE.

QB Jason Campbell - 1 Year // 4M

I like Mike Kafka, however I'm still not sold on him being Vick's backup atleast not right now where he is basically guaranteed a few starts a year. Jason Campbell is a very solid starting NFL Quarterback, with a talented offence around him should be able to win us some games if (when) Vick misses time due to injury.

WR Josh Morgan - 3 Years // 9M

A pretty under-rated receiver who looked set to have a good season with San Fran before suffering a serious leg injury. With it looking likely that DeSean is on his way out and Jeremy Maclin not being that impressive as a #1 last season we could use some more competition and depth at receiver.

OT Ryan Diem - 1 Year // 1M

After letting Dunlap go and cutting ties with Justice we're obviously short for depth at OT. Diem played under Howard Mudd in Indy and would be able to fill in for either Peters or Herramans if needed.

Trades

Philadelphia trades DeSean Jackson to Cleveland for their 2nd Round Pick (#5)

I think the relationship between DeSean and FO is beyond repair. Cleveland makes a lot of sense as a destination for Jackson because: 1. they desperately need more weapons on offence and 2. although you may say that DeSean wouldn't want to play in Cleveland, he would be on a team where he's the star player.

Philadelphia trades Asante Samuel to Cincinnati for their 3rd Round Pick (#21)

Still a top 10 CB in the league, even if he is 31. Cincinnati need to find a CB opposite of Leon Hall (who will be returning from injury) and they easily have enough cap room to take on Asante.

This move saves us $7.5M in cap space

Draft

Round 1 (#15) -

Nick Perry - DE - USC

Height: 6-3 Weight: 250

DE isn't a huge need right now but before the '12 season begins Trent Cole will be 30 and Jason Babin is already 31. Other then that, there's Philip Hunt who's a situational pass-rusher only and Graham is still yet to prove himself in the NFL. Perry is an explosive athlete and should be able to contribute coming off the edge right away in our DE rotation.

T R A D E
Eagles Trade -
2nd Round Pick (#5)
3rd Round Pick (#21)
6th Round Pick (#26)

New England Trade -
1st Round Pick (#27)

Going into the draft we have a huge amount of picks within the top 101 (7 to be exact) so there is definitely enough ammo for us to trade up here. BB likes to move down to acquire more picks, and he always seems to make a draft day trade with Andy.

Round 1 (#27) -

Kendall Wright - WR - Baylor

Height: 5-10 Weight: 190

Kendall Wright has speed and lots of it. He's my ideal replacement for DeSean. Similar to DeSean, Wright will draw a lot of attention from a deep safety in coverage due his speed which opens up room for other receivers and also has that ability to score from anywhere on the field. Unlike DeSean though, Wright is not afraid to go across the middle of the field and go get the ball.

Round 2 (#14) -

Jerel Worthy - DT - Michigan State

Height: 6-3 Weight: 305

Not your typical Andy Reid DT, however Worthy looks like a good fit for what Jim Washburn looks for in his d-tackles. Worthy is quick off the snap and can dispute a play before it develops.

Round 2 (#19) -

Brandon Boykin - CB - Georgia

Height: 5-10 Weight: 185

A smaller CB but he isn't afraid of contact. He's probably best suited to Nickel but in today's NFL it's an important position to have talent at (DRC vs. Chicago last year for example). Boykin also has added value as a kick/punt returner.

Round 3 (#15) -

Bobby Wagner - LB - Utah State

Height: 6-1 Weight: 230

Wagner could go higher than this but you never know with LBs. Swagner was very impressive at the Senior Bowl and is a versatile guy who is able to play all three LB positions. I've got no problem with giving Jamar Chaney another shot at MIKE but now it's his job to lose.

Round 4 (#4) -

Isaiah Pead - RB - Cincinnati

Height: 5-11 Weight: 200

I'm a big fan of this guy, Pead looks to me like a good all-round back who has good vision, a nice cut move and is capable of running in between the tackles. He's solid in pass protection and can catch the ball out of the backfield.

Round 4 (#19) -

Matt Reynolds - OT - BYU

Height: 6-4 Weight: 305

Needs to refine his technique but thankfully he will have one of the best OL coaches in the business to work with. Reynolds doesn't have the ability to play Left Tackle in the NFL but does look like a guy who could become a solid RT down the track. Shows a bit of a mean streak in the run game, which is something that is good to have in an offensive-lineman.

Round 5 (#18 ) -

Donte Paige Moss - DE - North Carolina

Height: 6-4 Weight: 260

Why not? He was touted as a potential first round pick before the season started but didn't really 'put it all together' this year and suffered a knee injury late in the season. A guy worth taking a shot on in the 5th round with a good combination of size and athleticism.

Round 6 (#17) -

Kelcie McCray - S - Arkansas State

Height: 6-2 Weight: 195

We're a little thin at safety in terms of depth, there's Colt Anderson and Tom Nelson but I don't want to see either of them on the field at safety so we could use a developmental type FS.

Round 6 (#27) -

George Bryan - TE - North Carolina State
Height: 6-5 Weight: 265

This off-season would save us a ton of cap space to lock up Shady long-term and also so we can extend the likes of DRC and maybe Maclin.

FB Owen Schmitt – 3 Years // 6M Don’t like it, Never really did anything major for the offense
OG Evan Mathis – 2 Years // 9M Think he’ll want more years than just 2
LB Manny Lawson - 3 Years // 13M Good LB but don’t see CIN letting him go
QB Jason Campbell - 1 Year // 4M Too much money for a bust, Young at least could win games prior, Cambell hasn’t been able to prove himself to be able to play at the NFL level
WR Josh Morgan - 3 Years // 9M A Lot better WR to get out there than this, MOSS or PLAX would be better
Philadelphia trades DeSean Jackson to Cleveland for their 2nd Round Pick (#5)
I highly dislike this, Jackson is a 1st rounder talent not 2nd, also I don’t think the relationship between can’t be fixed, alls Jackson wants is to be paid what he deserves, he barely tried last year and had almost 1000 yards that says something, Sign to a long term deal and he’ll prove next year why you paid him that.
Philadelphia trades Asante Samuel to Cincinnati for their 3rd Round Pick (#21)
Samuel was are best corner last year, move does no justice for him, Also reports are out that he wants to renegotiate to be able to stay an EAGLE, so he wants to be here, I want him to be here time to get a deal done.
Round 1 (#15) -

Nick Perry - DE – USC
Something new but overall not a bad pick, but would rather if there going after a DE trade up to get Coples
T R A D E
Eagles Trade -
2nd Round Pick (#5)
3rd Round Pick (#21)
6th Round Pick (#26)

New England Trade -
1st Round Pick (#27)

Going into the draft we have a huge amount of picks within the top 101 (7 to be exact) so there is definitely enough ammo for us to trade up here. BB likes to move down to acquire more picks, and he always seems to make draft day trade with Andy.

Round 1 (#27) -

Kendall Wright - WR – Baylor
Highly dislike the trade and pick, Would rather Jefferey get taken for a WR or Hightower get taken for a MLB, and NE never trades away there 1st 1st round pick only there 2nd 1st rond pick, unless the trades of exceptional value.
Round 2 (#14) -

Jerel Worthy - DT - Michigan State
Worthy is a decent pick but they’re should be 2-3 other DT’s that are would be better picks.
Round 2 (#19) -

Brandon Boykin - CB – Georgia
Cant argue with this pick, Love it unless we keep Samuels then go after a OL or S
Round 3 (#15) -

Bobby Wagner - LB - Utah State
Will be taken by then
Round 4 (#4) -

Isaiah Pead - RB – Cincinnati
Love this pick
Round 4 (#19) -

Matt Reynolds - OT – BYU
Good depth pick
Round 5 (#18 ) -

Donte Paige Moss - DE - North Carolina
Love this pick think he’d be a starter within a yr or 2
Round 6 (#17) -

Kelcie McCray - S - Arkansas State
Don’t like this pick
George Bryan - TE - North Carolina State
Nice depth pick, give habor some completion

Schmitt is a solid FB and in Andy's offence we hardly use a FB so I don't see the problem

Mathis had a break out year at age 30, I wouldn't give him a long term deal

VY was horrible whenever he played this season, not sure what you were watching. Campbell has proven to be a solid starting QB in the NFL.

Josh Morgan is still young... both Plax and Moss are 30+, I want nothing to do with either of them.

So extend DeSean because he didn't try this year and put up okay numbers? Uh, no thanks.

Jackson was disgrace this season. To reward him with a big contract after a year like that would be dumb. What makes you think he'll start to play hard and put the team first once he gets his money anyway?

Samuel our best corner? I don't think so... Nnamdi > Samuel.

Can I have a link saying that he wants to re-negotiate his contract to remain an Eagle? I highly doubt that, seeing as he can go elsewhere and keep his big $$$ contract.

We will be using a lot more bump and run with Bowels as our DB coach now, so Asante isn't really that good a fit anymore.

Perry is a MUCH better fit for the wide-9 than Coples.

NE is getting good value there. What's the problem with taking Wright?

Jeffery can't create any separation and with DeSean gone our offence will need a deep threat.

Yeah, I was thinking Wagner could go higher but there's no guarantee.

Wright is a good pick... just not for Philadelphia. Want some height and leaping ability for the next WR taken by the Eagles in the draft/FA.

FB just aren't important to andy reid

Mathis had a break out year at age 30, I wouldn't give him a long term deal

i didnt say long term i just said he'll prolly want at least a 3 year deal

VY was horrible whenever he played this season, not sure what you were watching. Campbell has proven to be a solid starting QB in the NFL.

Campbells been benched and kicked off two different NFL teams hes overrated for the eagles to pickup, and for 1 year [inappropriate/removed] misewell jsut resign young at least he knows part of the playbook and offense

Josh Morgan is still young... both Plax and Moss are 30+, I want nothing to do with either of them.

I know he's young but the eagles need to win now not 3-4 years from now

So extend DeSean because he didn't try this year and put up okay numbers? Uh, no thanks.

No jackson earned that money previously the eagles are just stubborn to pay him, just give him a smaller contract then that with escalation bonuses and hell be happy and give great numbers

Jackson was disgrace this season. To reward him with a big contract after a year like that would be dumb. What makes you think he'll start to play hard and put the team first once he gets his money anyway?

Samuel our best corner? I don't think so... Nnamdi > Samuel.

Samuel outplayed Nnamdi last year, Nnamdi had a lot of trouble adapting to the eagles defense scheme just liek samuel but samuel made more impact plays

Can I have a link saying that he wants to re-negotiate his contract to remain an Eagle? I highly doubt that, seeing as he can go elsewhere and keep his big $$$ contract.

We will be using a lot more bump and run with Bowels as our DB coach now, so Asante isn't really that good a fit anymore.

Bowles likes Asante a lot, and bowles is a guy who can get all 3 to coherently play together with all their strengths

Perry is a MUCH better fit for the wide-9 than Coples.

Who knows how long the wide-9 will be in philly

NE is getting good value there. What's the problem with taking Wright?

I just dont like wrights ability as much as jefferey

Jeffery can't create any separation and with DeSean gone our offence will need a deep threat.

Jackson being gone is not a definite

Yeah, I was thinking Wagner could go higher but there's no guarantee.

I think wagner will be taking by then tahts why i said that

I think you overpaid for Schmitt and 3 year is a bit long. Actually I feel like you're overpaying for most of the players in FA.

Diem was moved to RG in '11 season, no way in ... he could play LT, and I wouldn't want him as RT either.

http://scoutsnotebook.com/2012/02/sam-lbs/ - I doubt Manny Lawson is an actual target for the Eagles.

I was making a mock draft that was almost identical to the first 4 rounds of yours. Even had the Pats trade to take Wright. One problem, the absolute bottom for Wagner will be our 3rd but most likely he will go in the second barring a bad combine. Otherwise, me likey a lot.

I love when people just write "sucks".
There is no other team going to give Schmitt 6 million over 3 years. He made $465,750 last season and you want to give him a 1.5 million dollar raise.
Why would you pay Campbell 4 million? He got 4.5million to be the starter in Oakland and you want to pay a back-up 4 mill.
In 4 years Morgan has 131 catches for 1,764 yards. He made $295,000 last season. He made 1.8 million over the 4 years and you really think he's worth 9 million over three years? He's worth maybe 1 million a year if some team wants to overpay for him.
Jackson was drafted 49th overall, developed and traded for the 37th overall pick? This is what people need to consider when valueing what a player is worth.
Perry is a late 1st round propect. You could trade back and still get him.
Wright is nothing more then DeSean v2.0. Is that really what we need?
Worthy is a mid 1st round talent and there is a premium on good O-linemen and D-linemen. He will be long gone by the 2nd.
Wagner played all positions in College. He's a WILL in the Pro's Don't we have a roster full of players on the weak side?
Why do you want to draft another injuried player in Moss? It's never worked in the past.
Does anyone understand that outside of QB, WR is the biggest position of adjustment from college to the pro's and you think Wright can just come in and start?
Still to thin at Guard in terms of depth.
What has Dixon done that whould make you believe he is a starting DT in the NFL? In 35 games that Dixon appeared in he has 39 tackles, 3 sacks and 2 pass defended. In the same period Laws has 29 tackles, 5 sacks and 6 pass defended. I don't even see what you did with Patterson.
Why are people so hell bent on getting rid of Hughes?

I like what you tried to do but it's a bit unrealitic IMO.
6 out of 10

I hate how you people call them busts. Jason Campbell wasn't a bust. He had no talent around him in D.C. In Oakland he actually showed that he could be a starting QB because they went like 4-2 with him? Im all for getting him as our backup. Also I like your philosophy of stacking up on pass-rushers. You can never have enough. But if Michael Floyd was available at our 1A pick would you of taken him?

I like the Wagner pick as well as the Worthy one.

I see your reasoning behind Paige-Moss and Nick perryw ould be legit in our wide-9 I like it
