He hasn't even gotten to Philly yet. Who knows? He'll get here, he'll practice, maybe he'll make the team and if he makes the team maybe he'll have a role.

Nobody thought Reed Blankenship would make the team or start five games but he did.

We'll see.

Eagles signed safety Justin Evans, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Evans was Tampa’s 2nd-rd pick in 2017. Started 21 games for Bucs in 2017 & 2018. Sidelined by injuries in 2019 and 2020.

Came back and played 15 games (4 starts) with Saints last year. Has 4 career INTs

Noooooo ... Like I said, he was 58th of 123 safeties on PFF who played at least 100 snaps. Not 58th of 64. Come on now, don't just throw this stuff out there without checking it.

Thanks to the new Stathead span finder, you can run searches like this:

How many NBA players have averaged 35 pts, 10 reb., 4 assists and 2 blocks over a 12-game span?

The answer is one:

Joel's last 12 games: 35.0 ppg, 10.2 rpg, 4.5 apg, 2.6 bpg.

(While shooting 62%)

Trying to get the best possible contract isn't greed, it's common sense. It's business.

He may have made a misjudgment, but calling it greed isn't fair.

These guys have short careers and nothing wrong with turning down a deal when you think you can get more.

Howie will never draft for need again.

He seems like a heck of a prospect, but I don't think free agency really changes Howie's draft plans very much. Drafting for need is what got him in trouble in the past.

I wouldn't say they let him walk. They made him a competitive multi-year offer and he declined it.

If there was no offer, then they let him walk.

Yeah, that ruined the parade for a lot of my friends.

'Kelce's speech was OK, but I'm still bummed Rodney was running parallel to some guy.'

And this kind of thing happens all the time, it's not unique to C.J.

There's no way for most players to know what their value is going to be going into free agency. A lot of people misjudged the safety market this year.

It's spelled 'McLeod' and if he didn't take the right angle on Gronk twice in the red zone in the Super Bowl the Patriots would have won.

'The Eagles have been to two Super Bowls in the last six years and made the playoffs five times.'

'Yeah, but what about Davion Taylor!'
