We have enough JAG’s on the D-Line. There’s still elite potential in there somewhere. D Williams sucked the 2 years before we brought him in. The risk paid off. Unless you wanna pay $15m+ over multiple years, you gotta take some risks to improve the pass rush. If there are better options out there, I’d be all for them. 1
TheBeaneBandit Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 I'm fine with Ertz, but would't it be better to just add Rudolph? They're pretty much the same player at this point in their careers. It's hard to know if Ertz can regain full form from his injuries at his age. 1

He is NOT a pass-rusher. This is pretty much where I am. Actual genuine NFL-level pass-rushers don't get passed off from team to team like that. 1 1

I constantly see people on here clamoring all the time for Clowney and I don't get it. He's got talent but has always been lazy. That's why he sucks 1

Other options available are in their 30’s and would cost just as much if not more. We have enough of those. Clowney is still relatively young and has more upside than the options available. We need upside on the D-Line. If he flames out, Bills have plenty of JAG’s to roll out there.
CNYfan Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 I think everyone should stop with Clowney. He does not effect the QB, he can set the edge but we have plenty of that. I would take Bam Johnson over Clowney. The BB tamed 92 back a bit last year but he if he can stay disciplined he at least can bother the QB 1

A good TE can be a QB's best friend and although Wentz and that eggels offense was a hot mess...Philly TE Dallas Goedert looked like Ertz of old and he had a 70% catch percentage with that same hot mess of an offense. Lets trade for Goedert! Ertz, 11 games, 11 game starts. 72 targets, 36 rec for 335 yards, 1 TD a 50% catch percentage. *Although, Ertz was dealing with a high ankle sprain in 2020 and it does remain to be seen if he can regain his old form. Apparently, the Eagles don't think so. Edited March 17, 2021 by Nihilarian
Beast Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Clowney has played in the NFL for 7 years and never reached double digit sacks. When are people going to realize he isn't all that? If this guy was taken in the middle of the second round nobody would even bring his name up. 3 1
BuffaloRebound Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Still seems like a Gronk type is what the doctor ordered. I’d think Rudolph would be a better fit than Ertz and cheaper.

They're pretty much the same player at this point in their careers. It's hard to know if Ertz can regain full form from his injuries at his age. Ertz’s ceiling of play is certainly higher than Rudolph even factoring in the down year for Ertz but Rudolph isn’t a bad “plan B” at worst you being in Rudolph to take on the Kroft role of being a solid more steady but less dynamic complement to Knox. But I would prefer Ertz as I think he still has a very good year or two left. I just wouldn’t over pay for him. I offer a 5th in 2021 and a conditional 5th in 2022 that could escalate to a 4th. If the Eagles get a better offer then they can take it and I sign Rudolph. 1
Virgil Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) *edit Eagles are under the cap as of the Goodwin move. So a trade with Ertz is no longer necessary. According to the Eagles message board, Ertz is no longer demanding a new contract IF he gets traded Edited March 17, 2021 by Virgil 1
Behindenemylines Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 4 hours ago, ganesh said: I don't agree with the assertion that we cannot be a top 5 defense.... We technically have * A all-pro CB * Two well rounded Safeties that don't make mistakes * Two all-star Linebackers * A DT picked in the top 10 in the draft and an all-star DE This core group with some exciting peripheral players definitely has a chance to be a top-5 defense. Although I dont think top 5 is possible this year, I do think with Star back we get better. Draft correctly and maybe another FA pickup we get better and are not bulldozed. What I was trying to say was that if we attempt to focus on being good at both but not great at either O or D, we will not go anywhere. We are better on Offense than defense-so if we focus on being the #1 Offense with tons of weapons at every position possible we can outscore opponents enough to make up for our lower graded Defense respectively. As one person said losing on 3 and 15 is unacceptable and I agree, so fix those issues and we are in the top 10 D.

Reed83HOF Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 So Wentz can't be traded yet. Philly needs to clear space
HOUSE Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 After 10 full days I would say Ertz WAS NOT ABOUT TO BE TRADED ANY TIME SOON

BuffaloRebound Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) what the hell is going on in this thread? The Eagles have been making moves the past month to get under the cap. The Wentz deal was never really in doubt. In regards to Ertz, it looks like they don’t need the $8m they would’ve saved by cutting him to get under the cap. So they now can trade him if they want instead of cutting him. Or they can just hold on to him. Edited March 17, 2021 by BuffaloRebound 1
