That’s the key.  I have no clue either.  Anyone know if hollister plays STs?

 

if he does, than I think he’s a better version of Gilliam 

63% of special team snaps last year.

They could be slow playing the Ertz trade.  Eagles are asking way too much if they want a 3rd and The Bills shouldnt accept that.  The asking price will come down


Beane won’t overpay.  Ertz is most likely going to be traded or released.  Asking price comes down, he’s traded.  If released who knows where his landing spot will be.

 

Sucks that we have a chance to make strides, but the cap is a problem.  At least self imposed not wanting to mortgage the future.

You don’t mortgage the future when you’re setup to dominate it. Go Bills!

Yes, we are set at this time to win a lot of games.  We clearly are a few players short from beating the defending AFC champs who were dismantled by the Bucs.

 

Will have cap relief in a season or two.  Need to be creative and get the guys who will make a difference.  Need a better pass rush and running game.  Better pass rush takes the pressure off the remaining defenders and allows then to do their jobs.  A better running game takes the pressure off Josh and keeps us from being a one-dimensional offense and too predictable.

People need to chill on the restructure stuff.  We aren’t desperate like a lot of other teams are.  We are returning most of our team that  went 13-3.  Beane has Allen and Diggs contracts coming up.  Can’t be clogging up future years with restructures.

At this point any teams with potential interest in Ertz would have a tough time absorbing his $8+M cap hit. 

A team like Indy comes to mind as having enough room, but an $8M cap hit is a very tough contract to squeeze onto your roster @ this point in FA.

 

I think most of the league also understands that the Eagles are 100% releasing Ertz if they aren't able to trade him & I predict that his release would come relatively soon.  Holding onto a player you clearly intend on releasing and then dumping him a week or 2 after the FA $ has dried up is viewed as a pretty dirty move, so the Eagles aren't helping their external image amongst players any.  

 

Also the Eagles have no cap space, so they'll need that $8M in cap room to plug a couple of holes with guys that are available right now that might not be around in a week or 2.

 

I think Beane understands all of this, which is why he's not budging off his late round pick offer or maybe a mid round swap......and that's absolutely the right move by Beane.

 

Howie Roseman is a poker player that bluffs too often & Beane is much too calculated to fall for it.

 

I'd be shocked if Ertz is an Eagle by the end of this month.

Good point. I don't know. That could change things.

Hollister does play ST. It’s mentioned in Vic Carucci’s piece today.

I have been thinking about this. If they release him without getting, say, a fifth — a real possibility now — that is some very bad GMing by Roseman.

As I’ve said earlier in this thread, I get not mortgaging the future.  It sucks this is the year a few pieces could put us over the top.  
 

We have to beat the Chiefs to get to the SB.  Unless Epenesa shines this year and we manufacture a pass rush, we will win a lot of games, but concerned about making it further.  
 

With the cap going up in a year or two, don’t see us hurting ourselves long term with some cap manipulation this year.

I don't see how the cap has been a problem. We have re-signed who we wanted and obviously are trying to get Ertz

Ertz is still available. The Bills probably still very much want him. The Eagles price will go down. Not sure how much Bills price will go up if at all. It’s just a game of chicken and Beane is better at this than Roseman. Doesn’t mean Bills will get Ertz for sure but they still very much want a vet TE and Ertz is very likely to be on another team. 
 

Oh, and Engram stinks.

I believe Ertz will be traded. 

I believe Ertz will be traded to Buffalo.

I think it will happen soon.

 

However...

 

This particular version of this song keeps going through my head when refreshing Twitter to see if Ertz has been traded to Buffalo...
