The Eagles restructured Pro Bowl outside linebacker Connor Barwin’s contract as a way of rewarding him for leading the NFC in sacks with 14 1/2 and letting the rest of the current Birds roster know that the front office will reward production. This is a message that Chip Kelly needed to make after the Birds traded or failed to sign three of the team’s most productive players, such as running back LeSean McCoy, quarterback Nick Foles, and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin.
Barwin, who had been signed a deal a couple of years ago as a Houston Texans free agent. The contract he signed two years ago is scheduled to pay him $6.4 million in 2015, $6 million in 2016, $7 million in 2017, and $8.5 million in 2018. In all likelihood, the Birds may have given him some bonus money and restructured his deal to lower his cap hit in 2015 and open some cap space for the team.
It didn’t make sense for a Pro Bowler like Barwin to be making virtually the same amount of money as recently re-signed outside linebacker Brandon Graham. Graham has a four-year deal worth about $26 million bucks with $13 of it is guaranteed.
Recently the Birds restructured backup linebacker Bryan Braman’s contract as a way of creating more cap space. Braman got a contract extension for agreeing to alter his deal.
These moves have former General Manager Howie Roseman’s fingerprints all over them.
This is a draft where the eagles need as many picks as possible.
Just read the Ravens might be interested in Polk now that they got rid of Pierce, they figure if they make a decent offer the Eagles won’t match (which is true) plus they won’t have to give up any picks since it was a low tender, it all makes sense!
no Interest by the Ravens in Chris Polk
They are very happy with have 2nd Year RB Lorenzo Taliaferro as their Big Back (6-0 226lbs)… He’s a load and from Coastal Carolina University in Conway,Sc (Just outside Myrtle Beach for all you Geography buffs)
They also have Justin Forsett and Fitzgerald Toussaint (5-10 205lbs) from Michigan on their Roster..
They may look at Receiver Type/Returnman Type of RB in the Draft
like a Abdullah of Nebraska .. but Polk is not really what they need as far as Depth goes….
I really don’t think the eagles care If they lose polk due to there depth as well as the depth in the draft.
Wow the eagles could free up 29million by cutting or trading Bradford,mathis,Ryans and celek
Ryans= don’t understand why he is on this team if he even comes back will only be a 2 down lb
Celek= is a glorified blocker if anybody is around him he drops the ball
Mathis= an aging vet that still plays good but can be upgraded.
Bradford= until they give him an extension I won’t believe he is here to stay. Plus he isn’t a 13million dollar qb
Mathis cannot be upgraded for this year!!!!!
fuck bradford!!!!!!!!
no point in freeing up cap just to do it, nobody to give that $ to
You are selling Celek way short in this offense. Two Tes are hard to find. Kelly has resurrected him.
Right mhenski. I think us as fans need to stop worrying about money that isn’t ours
It might not be money but as a fan I don’t want my team in cap hell like the saints are. And Bradford will either be traded or extended cause he’s not a 13million dollar qb. And I’m sure yhe eagles can find a te that can block that won’t cost 4.5 million and demeco is 31 coming pff his second major injury and it’s sad it looks,like there gonna choose him over Kendricks who clearly the better player.
How can they be in cap hell? As u pointed out, theirs $29 million in cap room next year if we go into this season with them n they don’t work out.
And don’t forget Coopers $6 million that will be gone, he’s gone after this year, that will put us over $35 plus the $8 that will carry over, that’s $43 million we would have next offseason if things don’t workout this coming year, if you wanna keep going, this might be Peters last year, that would be abother $9 million, that’s $52 million, bottom line, were gonna have plenty of cap space next offseason
Just more of the same “the sky is falling” bullshit. For as long as I’ve been an Eagles fan I don’t think we’ve ever been in “cap hell”
I understand whining about who our starting qb is or who the safety is gonna be. But crying about the salary cap? Lol get a grip dude.
Dude I’m not crying over the cap I’m simply stating this team still has alot of holes to fill and no money to fill them thanks to those players I listed above.. they still need
1.safety
2. Cb X2
3. Og. X2
4. Olb
5. Wr. X2
Let me ask you, if the eagles had another $25 million in cap space who is available that you would pay big money to?
Also, the one thing we know about the eagles is they understand the cap. Last season people bitched and moaned about being under the cap, now bitch and moan for the opposite …. My guess is…that the eagles understand their cap situation a whole lot better than we do.
Nobody that’s out there right now cigar I’m referring to fa who was picked up all ready the guys that are there right now are bums. But they missed out on some guys due to not having money.
They got guys with their money?….Bradford who we think the coach sees as a franchise qb, Murray a great NS back, Matthews a good NS back, maxwell a top CB….some corner depth, a starting LB….OLB they got graham
Iupatti apparently is not a fit in this offense, revis is crazy money, maclin is not an 11$ receiver…what other receiver did you want?
I’m not high on maxwell I think he’s a product of LOB I think with that money they gave him they could have Culliver and house, maxwell is getting paid tdomt throw to my side money I don’t think any qb in the east will fear him.
Maybe so on him…they over paid which is exactly what FA is….over pay marginal layers ..it’s the market
HAC .. my concerns about $$ ..I said from the desert perspective having seen bill davis here there and everywhere ..With personnel and without .with schemes that made you really question this guy in a pivotal loss to Green Bay ,keying not on Aaron Rodgers ,manning up 4 straight games on ones with Fletcher ..There is a cruel irony in that our corners were picked up by two Super Bowl teams ..that’s an indictment on bill davis ..sure ,we’ll see if they can deliver the goods ..BILL DAVIS ,is in the cross hairs ,Pinnochipio aallocated huge do-re-mi to satiate Bill. He also went all in on the draft by picking smith and IMO bill Davis ruined him last year ..What rookie starts out as an OLB and is moved inside .billy had a lot of fingerprints on two years ago exit in the playoffs , followed by this years folding on Dee like a cheap suit ,down the stretch.Until we see him execute with talent for the first time in his recent past ,I’ll be concerned .upgrades or not ..I’ll also be shocked if he stays less than a tornado in his first draft ..he loves the bright lights,he loves the theater of the absurd..this Chinopochio ,is either the theater of the absurd on broad and patties on or the Chipped in stone statue as he brings Lombardi home ..
Odds on chip standing pat in the draft …10,000-1.. If we thought FA was a durvish,strap it on tight for his first draft to be the smartest coach on the block.I anticipate the north south approach ,he’ll go all in and then some .if he trusts in Sam I lame .Ill be equally shocked ..something’s coming ,but it ain’t sam the torn ham..I am..
Howie seen in his cubicle downing sports science drinks getting his draft face on..
I think it’s a better chance they trade down rather than up like I stated before this is a draft where the eagles need as many draft picks as possible with all the holes still on there team plus the players they may get rid of next yr.
There won’t be as many Players Purged and Roster Turnover next Year as Chip Kelly has already stated this … This Years activity was heavier than usual after following a PLayoff Season in 2013 and where last Off-Season was pretty much a Status Quo Season in terms of rebuilding the Roster, plus the Eagles had a lot of Players coming up on Free_Agency and had 4-5 Aging Players with Big Contracts that really needed to be addressed and finally were…
Paulman next yr players that will be gone
Peters=34
Mathis= if nor gone this yr
Cooper= very over paid to be a good blocker
Celek= 31 yr old 4.5 million blocker unnecessary
Sproles=? Could be might not be
Thornton= only on a 1yr deal
Boykin= last yr of deal
Caroll= last yr of his deal
Thurmond= only on a 1yr deal
Curry= last yr of deal
Kendricks = same thing
Your right Gloomy..
You can probably add QB Sanchez, LB Braman
LB D Ryans if he isn’t gone this Year..
I think Kendricks, Curry & Boykin will all be Draft Weekend Trades
for Mid Round Draft Picks or used to move up in a Round
very interesting news- the mayor of Dallas has issued a statement about how disappointed he is with the cowgirls signing greg hardy…. all it will take is one or two sponsors to pull out and jerry jones will have a shit storm on his hand!
A big thing too about HArdy is how long will the NFL Suspend Him
His Actions occurred when it was only a 2 Game Suspension
now the NFL has a 6 Game Suspension for Domestic Abuse Cases
I imagine they will meet in the middle and settle for 4 Games but an interesting matter is that the NFL is wanting all the LEgal Documents pertatining the Case and the Charlotte DA’s Office are not being very cooperative since the Case was Dropped…
There is lot going on with this particular case and it will be interesting to see how it pans out..
i wonder if the nfl discovers how much her silence cost if they don’t try to hang him by the balls– a fate he literally deserves.
Remember, the original case is not being dropped.
He was found Guilty.
It is his appeal that is being dropped after witness have disappeared after a “civil settlement”
I am not sure how that Works in North Carolina Vinnie
His initital Case was a Closed Case in front of the Judge only last Summer where the Judge found him Guilty…
In NC, when a Defendant is found Guilty (as was Hardy) they have the Option of Appealing their Case and to be Heard and Decided in front of a Jury of their Peers, which is what the Hardy Team decided to do
Then the Case was Postponed from November to Febuary in whcih during this Time, the Main WItness and Woman of this Case has left the Country (Reportedly in the Carribean) and has stated thru her Lawyers that she will not Return to the US or Testify against Greg HArdy basically leaving the DA’s Office without a Case to Proceed or to Convict so they have Dropped the Charges.. Now whether this Decision supercedes the Original Judges Decision last Summer, I am not sure, But from what I read, it does and that the Judges Decision from closed court means nothing now that the DA has Dropped the Case..
His case is closed on appeal. He basically paid off the witness prosecution can’t move forward without the witness.
He got off. Only discipline left he is facing from is from the NFL.
Basically the NFL helped him get off….it was his paid while suspended millions that he used to work a deal. Guarantee she got close to half of his 13mil from last year.
Your Probably right IJ
Word is that she is living comfortably in an Island Villa in the Carribean somewhere.. Previously she was a Waitress/Exotic Dancer in Charlotte
On a Side Note
The Jacksonville Jaguars SIgn RB Bernard Pierce to a Contract
NY Giants Sign DE George Selvie of the Cowboys to 1 Year $1.4 Million Deal
Seahawks Sign DT A Rubin of the Browns to a 1 Year Deal
Falcons Sign TE Tony Moeaki of the Seahawks to a 1 Year Deal
Bears Sign TE Dontae Rosario to a 1 Year Deal
Paul if you are GM and had the choice of WR Jalen Strong, OT Jake Fisher, S Landon Collins ot CB Jalen Collins, who you taking. I would rather have Fisher but L Collins would be my pick because safety is much harder position to fill. The CB and WR seem to be to be good but not great players at the next level. Jeremy Maclin/Sheldon Brown IMO.
I would bet anyone on this site a thousand bucks that L Collins will not be available at 20 by the way. Second most over drafted position in football next to QB. Watch Hunley go in the first round due to his impressive pro day by the way.
In this Draft with the Team needs I would take the Following at # 20 based on your Choices
1) Safety – Landon Collins (Day 1 Starter at Safety)
2) OL – Jake Fisher (Day 1 Starter at Guard, Switch to OT when Peters Retires)
3) WR – Jaelen Srong (Will be a Rotational WR who should see more and more snaps as the Season progresses and basically replaces Riley Cooper)
4) CB – Jalen Collins (I think we make a better Safety at the NFL Level than a CB but it will take a Season or Two before he’s a Starter but has nice upside)
That would be my order as well. I think corner is a reach at 20 and we should take best player available in area of need. I am pretty sure Strong and Fisher will be there. L Collins no way.
What exactly would be th point of trading Mathis? The guy is still tp five in the league and even coming off injury last year showed no signs of slowg down. That position can play into mid 30s anyway. I would take nothing less than getting back our 2016 second round pick. If they gove him away for a middle round pick that is absurd.
If Mathis was 26 Years Old maybe he could return a 2nd/3rd Rounder but at 32 Years Old and with a Big Contract.. The Eagles would be fortunate to get a 5th/6th Round Pick in Return for a Guard.. They just don’t return much in the world of the NFL
Then I wouldn’t trade him.
Paulman his contract is that big hell I seen the saints were paying Grubbs & Evans 8 million each I think the Eagles want a 3rd Rd pick for him but other teams a probably offering 4th and 6th Rd picks they almost have to trade Mathis or release Ryans the draft cast will cost you around 6million to sign all of them and with them only having about 8 million they have to make moves.
Just saw the Nick Foles interview where he said he had no idea that the trade was coming. He only knew when Chip Kelly called him and let him know that he was traded…smh!
Nick demonstrated exactly why he just wont make it as a QB in this league! No fire, no gumption…no fight…
“VRENTAS: What reason did Chip give you for the trade?
FOLES: Just that it was just best for both parties. It was a decision they had to make, and he thought it was best for the organization, and he was thankful for my time there. It was a tough thing. You play for a head coach for two years, and you have a relationship. But I understand this business, and you don’t hold any grudges. I’m thankful for Chip and the time he allowed me to be there….”
Aww shucks…”I’m just thankful for Chip”…
Same bullshit…no attitude that says: “Hey, I’m going to prove that Chip made a mistake in trading me…”
The kid just don’t get it…and that’s why Chip Kelly got rid of his ass!
Damn Kool your as bad as Vinnie and the gang with the Vick hate….lol. The kid may not be special as far as elite qbs go, but he more than accounted for himself in regards to maximizing his talent. He also proved that he was tough. Lets not do him like so many have done Dmac and Vick with the over-analyzing everything about his personality. WE need to worrying about tender knees Bradford and hope like hell that LLCB made the right call.
coldbrewski, I could never be that bad. Vinnie and the Foles crew bashed Vick consistently….long after Vick was gone and left.
This is fresh news here…Foles has just basically said…
“I dont know why Coach Kelly-an offensive genius according to Vinnie and his crew-got rid of me, I thought I was the franchise QB until the Coach called me and said he was getting rid of me!”
LOL!!!
Kool you ain’t right…lol
Petulance ..my petulance ..let the Nick thing bob on the distant shores of the Missouri river..Nick foles had shown his passion on the field so please shut the f up …interviews ,last I looked are filler ,nothing more .Dont read too much into it..he’ll show fire between the hashes ..that’s where it even matters ..let’s give props ,because this dud ,failure ,loser , blah blah ,has a lame duck defensive coach putting all his faith in Nick Foles ,over Sam I am the gimpy ham I am ..
You need wish the guy your best and take his name out of your Rolodex…
No desert/regal…I’m going to let the Nick thing ‘bob’ on your head a little more to make sure that you and the Foles crew own up to your foolishness!
This is still hot in the new…Foles did this interview and it appeared in today’s news…
Plus, the Foles contingent refuses to give Bradford a chance…refuses to comprehend why the Coach would take a chance on the oft-injured Bradford instead of staying with Nick Foles.
Why did Chip choose a ‘gimp’ over bum ass Nick?
The interview Nick did tells us all we need know
I still haven’t heard the Foles slurpers explain why he was dumped?
As to the Barwin’s restructuring, smart move front office.
When it’s all said and done, the trade for Bradford, whose a inferior qb to foles when healthy, will be the most unexplained trades in nfl history
Nick Foles=Derek Andersen
He will be playing behind an sub par offensive line and will look terrible this year… With NO OFFENSIVE WEAPONS. Spare me with Tavon Austin.
Bradford never takes a snap
He will be traded
I will wager money to any of you fools
So what’s the next move/trade Jake?
How high up can Bradford & the #20 Pick get the Eagles?
Is it higher than Foles & the # 20th Pick would bring?
Bradford ‘s trade value is clearly higher than Foles ‘…so to answer your question. Yes.
Foles would only bring a 5th rounder…Bradford has been valued as a first.
Your math doesn’t add up at all.
foles career is over he has nothing to work with in st louis….no offense….great talent on d but that nfc west will beat the shit out of foles…..i hatefor it to be that way cuz i like foles but jeff fisher will destroy this man
I agree 100% Z. Look at how Foles performed against SF….he will have many games like that against the NFC West.
dude the way thy hit in that division he will be hurt again…..i mean shit he couldnt survive the soft ass nfc east with bad dfence everywhere…..after that washington game i thought foles lost every damn bone the way they hit him
Yeah…he will be blasted behind that line. Not for long Nick.
EHL if the line won’t get him killed, whatever is left Jeff Fisher will kill anyway.
The greatest Eagle of all time passed away this morning RIP Chuck Bednarik!
really damn rip chuck
RIP Chuck Bednarik…you were one of the greatest Eagles to play.
Undoubtedly the greatest Eagle to put on the uniform was Reggie White…but your name will not be forgotten as a great Eagle.
As Ray Didinger also just proclaimed.
Chuck Bednarik was the Roy Hobbs of Football
Charles Davis said the Rams should still draft Mariota because Nick Foles is just a two year stop gap. Nick Foles value status is looooooow!
I think Bradford is also a stop gap. I have to think if Kelly doesn’t move up to get Mariota, he has his eye on a QB lower in the draft – Grayson or Hundly or someone.
To me, Bradford is too much like Foles and Sanchez to be viewed as our QB of the future.
Bradford must be viewed as a stop gap. His injury history makes him just that. The Eagles can not think of him as a long term solution at qb. Any extension must have injury clauses that would allow them to get out of any new contract.
Garrett Grayson is a back up in the NFL.
Mayock said the same thing about Russel Wilson — “He’s the kind of guy I would love to have as a backup.”
We’ll see…
I do give you good credit though, Eaglehaslanded… I have taken the time to look back over past post and mock drafts, and I will say that you are an independent thinker and you have a good eye for talent.
I just think that Grayson sees the field better, and is smarter than Bryce Petty, or Brett Hundley, or Sean Mannion and the rest.
Thanks Irish.
Koolbreeze look up nick foles mic’ed up…all you need to know about that guys fire
This is a draft that wouldn’t shock me if they traded out of the 1st all together with all the holes they have now .
Eagles send 20th pick to
Oakland for 35th 68th and there 6th Rd pick
Eagles then send Kendricks and Boykin
To the titans for 2nd and 4th Rd picks
The eagles would then have
Three 2nd Rd picks
Two 3rd Rd picks
Two 4th Rd picks
Two 5th Rd picks
Two 6th Rd picks
This is the only way to fix this team.
Every year you come up with all of these wild trade scenarios.
Ehl if chip is serious about building thru the draft then he has to trade back this yr due to all the holes on the team this yr as well as all the players there gonna get rid of next yr.
Gloomy..no he does not. The further down you trade the less talent is at your disposal. He will not rebuild this team on one year of draft picks. Take the BPA and keep it moving. To truly rebuild through the draft it will take 3 years…the FA brought in this year are three year rentals.
Ehl I know you can’t rebuild a team in one yr but is there really big difference in talent from pick 20 to pick 35 and even if they trade back and say 11 picks all those won’t be hitting there strive until those 3yr rentals are up.
In my opinion I see the eagles
Starting secondary next yr
Cb.watkins
Safety. Caroll
Safety. Jenkins
Cb. Maxwell
Slot .Thurmond
With Boykin traded
I don’t want them to reach and draft Collins to play safety cause,they feel they need one.
They traded down last year and reached…how did that work out? BPA!!!
It would haveworked out fine if they selected a better Player
We’ll see how MSII looks this Camp, if he lacks a definite improvement and sense of urgency, then he’s probably a bust..
But they didn’t, they panicked.
Still had Safety D Buchannon & Jimmy Ward
WR K Benjamin, CB BRobey & OL Joel Bitonio &
QB Tedy Bridgewater & Derek Carr on the Board
To that I am very well aware…and they still did not draft one of them. That’s why I am saying never mind all of that, just draft the BPA. I am not prepared to trust the Eagles drafting yet…no need to get cute or try to outsmart themselves…just take the BPA.
Paulman out of the that whole list of players I would’ve only took Roby but he doesn’t fit there size thing they want in cb’s and I can’t say Benjamin cause Matthews didn’t have a bad season … and ehl Marcus smith should and only be judged off of this season not last he has to put more muscle on then I can judge him not every rookie pass rusher has even a good rookie yr hell the #1 overall pick did nothing when he played.
Kendricks & Boykin for a 2 and a 4 doesn’t sound like good value back. Hope that’s not what ends up happening.
The greatest Eagle has just passed. But I want to give mourning fans a glimmer of hope. This franchise is clearly cursed. From losing the SB to a wild card team, to the Fog Bowl, to losing Randall when we had one of the greatest defenses of all time in ’91, to injuries to key players in the playoffs throughout Reid’s tenure (Vincent in ’01, McNabb in ’02, Westbrook in ’03, TO and Chad Lewis in ’04). CURSED! Cursed by Lombardi because he lost his only post season game and never wanted us to have his trophy. And on the last play of that game, Concrete Charlie sat on Jim Taylor so the Packers couldn’t run another play from our nine yard line. Every curse has something that breaks the spell. Maybe the greatest Eagle ever who played a big part in the loss had to pass for Vince to lift the curse. Maybe we can get that trophy now
That’s damn cold j bird, beyond being the greatest eagle to ever lace them up he was a great man, father, grandfather his family is hurting. I heard a reference today at the upper bucks y about how his grandson is really taking this tough. No one there was talking about the eagles
You probably meant to make light of this, but to his family eagles football and these nut jobs like koolbreeze are not even a blip on the radar
Concrete Charlie must be revered as a throwback ,a mans man.His humility and character will forever forge the symbolism of this franchise .Chuck was a hall of famer ,as a father a husband a grandfather ,and last and leastly an Eagle.His emergence into watching from above ,will forever be etched in every person watching his beloved Eagles and there fans.In this social media world we all exist in ,his communication came from the heart..
If the Titans sign James Harrison…no way in hell they are drafting Marriotta…they think they can challenge for wildcard
LB James Harrison has very little left.. Titans a Wild Card?..
Behind the Colts & Texans in their own Division.. No Way Jose..
You guys are jag offs to the worst degree, pussies. The greatest eagle is gone and this faggot Paulman is stroking his one string about trades, draft
You fuckers are mentally ill and have no lives, compassion, I swear this pussy izell is that pussy navy
Paulman I have no faith in hoyer titans could be a wildcard
And who I s Titans QB? Metzanberger…
I’ll take my chances with a Team that has RB Foster, Good young WR’s and
JJ Watt on Defense…
Gary Cobb. You are another pitiful loser not to acknowledge the passing of the greatest eagle of all time.
you cater to the worst common element of scum bag racist eagles fans, you have been doing it for years
Your career sucked. You are an opportunist, now trying to make money after A failed career in football and now politics.
Compare what bleeding green nation had to say about concrete charlie
Jakedog then go on Bleeding Green Nation and don’t post on here you rambling dickhead. When you say something of consequence on here will be the first time.
If you’re that caught up in paying homage and reverence to someone and need to vent on a blog… You are the one with no life who is a mental midget hiding behind a keyboard typing holier than thou castigation posts in between your breaks of frequent masturbation to gay porn more than likely.
Stfu already you blithering idiot.
jakedog you are an ignorant ass…
Take your racists rants to bleeding green, blue, or anywhere else
You suck, most of your postings suck, and Concrete Charlie would be ashamed of your ignorant attack on GCobb…
Be gone Fool ass!
Bednarik would have taken gcobb out like Gifford for such lack of respect
This website is a joke
Shut the fuck up you damn lunatic!!!
Jake is a racist ass ..but as a former eagle alum, LB himself. Come on G..god damn chuck has the last championship ….the most iconic picture in eagle history, one of the tops in nfl history…. This is an eagles site
HAC maybe because he doesn’t want to acknowledge a bitter old racist….
I suggest you read up on old Chuck…
Look I’m on record as obliterating jake … Bednarik is not a choir boy.” Not a nice man…. However when a guy beats his wife or gets arrested for being an asshole I get told “hey it’s ok he can play ball’..which is it
Apples to oranges HAC. Racist and douchebag are two different topics.
Izzell is right!…I try to give respect to the dead…I knew about his ranting against Deion Sanders and his bitterness towards the Eagles organization…but I didn’t know about his racist remarks!
There is no obligation for GCobb to write about or acknowledge Bednarik.
So an eagles site and an all time dies. ? Interesting
B Dawkins croaks tomorrow and GCOBB decides no article? Tommy McDonald? Trot? Jaws? Bergey? No article? Carmichael? Runyon? ….
Youre reaching HAC and sounding about as dumb as Jakedog.
Hey eagles site chuck is not an asterik…. As the players I mentioned are not…. A little ‘bednarik passes, with some stats and figures isn’t dumb… Jake and his racist ass is but come on…” 60 is dead, last championship’ would be appropriate
First off…let’s it keep it 100 and stop the bullshit…the main couple of writers barely have hair on their face. GCobb posts once in a blue moon…
This site is powered by a handful of posters who create the talk.
Stop acting like this is CNN.com.
The prepubescent writers you speak of know the internet… They can look up eagles retired numbers, I don’t think they are stupid …. 300 words…. ‘Hey today is a sad day in eagles history’ … Not much more
Sorry HAC but agree to disagree…he was an icon to an old guard…
Don’t have to pay reverence to someone who didn’t deserve it.
Are you kidding me! Listen I dont agree with Izzell often but he hit the nail on the head…the guy made racist comments and he was really bitter…no obligation at all to ‘acknowledge’ him…especially not GCobb!
GCobb probably also heard what ‘Concrete Charley’ reportedly said about the Greatest Eagle to ever play:
“A year and a half after that, in August 2006, he showed up at Eagles training camp one day and said of Reggie White, who had died the previous year: “There was something about him I just despised.”
Yeah…GCobb doesn’t have to acknowledge anything about a guy like that..period!
Agreed.
Oh maybe God telling him to go away…GOD.. Reggie was not genuine
So i’m guessing you don’t believe in God hac
Sure I believe in god, I’m just not a coward who hides behind him and is dishonest…the correct response for 92…. ‘I love the eagles but GB offered more money’…it’s simple it’s honest and would have garnered more respect…F Reggie
Well Hac god has a plan for all of us and god placed reggie in GB….whether it’s for money or not….If he says God told him to leave who are we to judge him on that…but hey go ahead
are you kidding me haveablunt! Reggie White spoke about God and having God’s guidance and inspiration in his life…that’s how he talked how can you say he was insincere…
How low can some of your guys go….smh?
The problem was the worst owner in Eagles history…Norman Braman! This is why Reggie left…Braman didn’t try to resign Reggie.
But your going to compare Reggie to a guy with racist statements, who openly rooted against the Eagles and bitterly against them
When we leave it on the field…Reggie was a far superior player than Concrete Charley…and off of the field…he was a much better person…by far!!
Concrete Charley should be remembered as a great player for the Eagles
Reggie White is the greatest Eagle to put on a uniform and he should be remembered as such…hands down, no question about it!!
‘God told me to go to green bay’…I call BULLSHIT…sorry millions called you…and I’m ok with millions calling you ….I’m more than ok with it…but ‘god called me to Green Bay..’ That my friend is BULLSHIT….let me repeat …BULL FUCKING SHIT
Invoking god when being totally insincere is fucking criminal… When an athlete wins and proclaims “its gods will”, “god wanted us to win” …is the most profane use of the lords name in the world. When an athlete does that you immediately know his faith is borderline… It’s total bullshit ….those people are assholes
haveablunt…you are truly ignorant. Once again…that is how Reggie White talked…you believed he was inspired by God.,..that was his religious belief…you self-righteous, judgmental nut.
We all knew the real reason he was going to Green Bay was Braman didn’t try to sign him…but only a fool like you would jump on a statement like that from the late, great Reggie White…
Your an idiot!
Hey….if you guys want to buy the ‘god told me to go’ or when a player wins a game he thanks god, god won it for them’….that’s on you, good luck with it, I find it insincere and self righteous. It’s hey look at me I’m so great even god is on my side…it’s ok some people need that, I get it. To me when you win a game it’s because your team played better, when you choose one contract over another for money…you chose more money. Maybe you prayed on the decision but in the end it’s the money…RIP Reggie and chuck.
Damn leave the shit alone everybody….everybody got a point leave it be
Thoughts and Prayers go out for Chuck Bednarik and his Family and the Eagles Family.. He was a Legend and a Leader for those Championship Teams..
He lived a full-life and will go down as one of the All-Time Greats in all of Football, may he Rest in Peace…
Blacks are gifted at worship and celebration. If you go to a black church, you see people jumping up and down because they really get into it.
Whites are good at organization. You guys do a good job of building businesses and things of that nature, and you know how to tap into money.
Hispanics are gifted in family structure, and you can see a Hispanic person, and they can put 20, 30 people in one home.
The Japanese and other Asians are inventive, and can turn a television into a watch
Indians are gifted in spirituality.
Can turn a television into a watch. 20, 30 in a home.
Ya…….straight from God. Whatever.
What are the Canadians good at Vinnie, besides Hockey, Curling and Making Beer ? 🙂
Do we need to be good at anything else? That’s the trifecta right there.
And why does every Canadian end their speech or sentences with “ey” all the time… This gets a little annoying… You know what I mean?..
Ha
Not as annoying as Americans and their incessant need to speak at volume levels loud enough so that everyone in a 3 block radius becomes privy to their conversations/opinions.
Or your white sneakers, incredible levels of obesity, and ridiculous obsession with tattoos.
and don’t forget our Guns Too Dammit… Got to have our Guns..
You may be surprised to know that Canadian gun ownership level is almost equal to that of the US. “Types” of guns very different however. And we just don’t seem to go around shooting each other with them as much.
Vinnie that’s because guns don’t kill people… Assholes kill people
Oh I guarantee Canada has just as many assholes up there so it must be another reason.
Well I have been called an asshole… I spend about 15 days each fall and winter at a hunting cabin most of the guys that hunt can be assholes…there are usually anywhere from 8-15 guns stored, unlocked and enough ammunition to take out a village…we drink, play cards, tell stories sometimes disagree yet never in my roughly 40 years of going there did anyone even remotely consider gun violence (except to ducks and deer)
I’ll raise you Rob Ford!!!!!
That’s Toronto, not Canada.
Okay, LOL
And everybody does sterotype’s where a few people become the status quo for an entire race of people.
