Report: Redskins Will Pursue Benny Logan If He Becomes Free Agent

Can Eagles back up defensive tackles Beau Allen and Destiny Vaeao take the place of Benny Logan on the team’s defensive line?   Will they be able to plug holes on run defense and put pressure on opposing quarterbacks when teams try to throw?

Unfortunately for the Eagles, they may get the chance to find out answers to those two questions in the upcoming season.  According to the an article on NJ.com by Mark Eckel, the Washington Redskins are going to pursue Eagles defensive tackle Benny Logan in free agency, if the Birds don’t sign him to a deal before free agency begins.

I can tell you right now, that I expect him to become a free agent because the Eagles can’t afford to spend any more money on their defensive line.  All Pro defensive tackle Fletcher Cox has a $100 million dollar plus deal. Defensive ends Vinny Curry and second team All-Pro Brandon Graham each have more than $30 million dollars deals.

Logan is a good player, but the Eagles can’t afford to pour more money into their defensive line.  When Logan was sidelined with an injury early in the season, Allen and Vaeao stepped in and did a good job of playing the position.  They both gave good signs that they can do the job if Logan isn’t around.

The Eagles must improve the wide receiver position and they’re also in desperate need of help at the cornerback spot.  Therefore, I doubt they make a big offer to Logan.  Hopefully for the Eagles and Logan, an AFC team outbids the Redskins for his services.

Bennie Logan will be pursued by many Teams besides the Redskins,
The Saints,Colts, Broncos, Raiders,Texans with DT Vince Wilfork Retiring could all use Help with upgrading their DT Position
Teams like the Browns,49ers & Dolphins were among the Worst in the NFL in Rushing Defense and will look to improve their Middle of their Defense

Logan will have plenty of suitors of choices to make whether he wants to play on a Contender right away or make the Most $$$$ or even Play closer to Home..

There are some very Good DT’s that could be out there in Free-Agency this Year that are all under the Age of 29 Years Old

Nick Fairley (29), Kawann Short (27), Tyson Aluala (29), Dontari Poe (26) ,Jonathon Hankins (25) Terrell McClain(28) ,Tyrunn Walker (26) , Brandon Williams (27), Akeem Spence (25) along with Bennie Logan (27)

Most of these Players listed will be signing some Large, Long-Term Contracts, especially D Poe, K Short,J Hankins & B Williams that will establish the Market Value for the DT Position

Teams and Fans who Follow the Draft Care for Injuries will likely now impact some Teams Selections in the First Round …
DB Malik Hooper was considered a Top 10 Pick, but probably falls now
WR Davis as one of the Top 2 WR’s but still a ? based on his Competition, and now with missing Senior Week where he could have showcased his Skills against other Top Senior Players and Talent and will now likely miss the Indy Combine Drills to be able to show off his Skills in Person..
Teams can still do Private Workouts when his Ankle heals but you still like to be able to see the Top Talent Compete in the Senior Bowl/Combine
OT Ramczyk was considered one of the Top 2-3 OT’s in this Draft but concerns over a Hip Surgery will probably push him down the Boards

As these Players and other Injured Players with ? start to Fall, then other Players will Rise to take their spots… It’s happens every Draft

In somewhat relevant eagles news:

“Now consider that two of their young, potentially promising receivers — Green-Beckham and speedster, rookie free agent Bryce Treggs – are far from locks to be on the 53-man roster when the 2017 season begins. Both made sporadic contributions in 2016 as one-dimensional weapons. According to team sources, both prioritized getting acquainted with the Philly nightlife over outworking their teammates, in practice.

Amazingly, not even the advice of franchise icon Brian Dawkins, who’s been involved in player development since being hired last summer, sunk in for these young receivers. Had they shown to be coachable, or more interested in self-improvement, they each could have made a difference this past season playing alongside strong-armed, rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. ”

With that hit piece coming out I would expect them gone. we need multiple WR

Its always interesting to me when a young athlete doesn’t embrace the chance to play, perform, compete, win and make $ at the highest level. Whether it was Danny Watkins or these bozos. DGB has been given more chances than any man alive— some desperate coach wants to harness that “body” and make him perform the way he “should” — sometimes physical ability is overshadowed by character or some would say HEART– meanwhile NE is in the SB with me, henski and fraudman at their top wideout positions.

I’m hearing the Eagles might pursue WR Kenny Stills if the Dolphins do not re sigh him. A buddy of mine coached Stills when he played pop Warner football and took them to Florida for the tourney. He has always talked very highly of him, and says he’s a good kid. I would love to have D-Jax back, but Stills is the other guy I would also like to have.

Dolphins have Jarvis Landry (due for a Big Contract after next Season) and their 1st Round Pick WR Davante Parker, from 2 Years ago, who started to come on on strong now that he’s Healthy, so it’s very unlikely that the Dolphins will look to keep Kenny Stills who is looking for a longer term Deal from someone after coming off a nice rebound Season …

WR Kenny Stills would be my #1 Priority if i’m the Eagles — He’s Young (24 Years Old) 4 Years in the NFL and at 6-0 – 195lbs with Speed and would quickly become a #1 Option on the Outside for QB Wentz…
D-Jax best days are behind him and it’s time to move on and put together a Core of Young, talented Players that can play for a while together and not just a 1-2 Year Band-Aid

so corey davis will be available when the eagles pick

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Western Michigan WR Corey Davis recently underwent “minor ankle surgery.”
Schefter reports he should be ready for rookie minicamp, but he will not run at the Combine. It is a blow for a “small-school” prospect who passed up his opportunity to compete at the Senior Bowl. Still, Davis is one of the best receivers in this draft. If his medicals check out, he should still be a first-round pick. Feb 2 – 11:05 AM

I agree Paulman. Kenny Stills is young and makes sense for the future. The Eagles will have some tough decisions to make when they pick at #14. So many directions they can go in. WR, RB, DB..I just hope they nail it this time. We CANNOT have another Nelson Agholor’s and Marcus Smith’s in this draft. WR Corey Davis would be very intriguing at that spot..

A Darkhorse Pick for the Eagle would be TE OJ Howard from Alabama, who is like a Jimmy Graham type, but can actually Block..He’s 6-6 250lbs and Can Run ,Catch & Block and would be a Match-Up Nightmare for Teams .. Put Him and Ertz out there a Stills to work the Deep Routes on the Outside and Jordan Matthews working in the Slot and the Eagles would have a pretty dynamic Receiving Corps.. OJ Howard has the makings of a 10 Year Pro-Bowler… I like Corey Davis too but I would go with OJ Howard ..

paulman, I was wondering if the Eagles would give consideration to drafting OJ Howard and go with a 2 tight end set. That would be dynamic as Howard has tremendous receiving skills and can get plenty of Yac. He and Ertz would be a helluva tandem for years to come. Great targets for Wentz.

Because of $$$ and Cap Space … Kenny Stills is the 3rd option at WR in Miami behind Jarvis Landry and Davante Parker who both will be having their Rookie Contracts coming up within the Next 2 Years and are more of a priority for the Dolphins that Stills is … If the Dolphins can keep him on the cheap, then yes they would want to keep him but Stills is looking for an opportunity for a bigger, long-term deal with the Opportunity to be on the field more which he will have when Testing Free-Agency then he would remaining with the Dolphins where hes the 3rd Option..

I would go with Stills on a 4 Year Deal.. Eagles need to surround Younger Weapons around Wentz who he can grow with and not 1-2 Year Players

My Plan
Sign WR Kenny Stills, CB Morris Claiborne in Free-Agency
Draft TE OJ Howard in the 1st Round
Draft WR Cooper Kupp in the 2nd Round
Use the Four Selections In 3rd/4th & 5th Rounds for CB,RB,LB and OL
Add Stills,Howard,Kupp along with Ertz, Jordan Matthews and you now have a legitimate NFL Reciver Corp to grow with Wentz

Eagles need Playmakers to grow with Wentz which is GM Roseman’s biggest priority as his future is riding on a successful Offense which he has stated a few times this off-season.. they don’t have much Cap Space the next 2 Off-season s so the Yankees are going to have to get Offensive Weapons/Playmakers mostly in the Draft.. Roseman probably has 2-3 Years to make some real headway with this Franchise or he could be gone, and getting 1-2 Year Band-Aids at WR, CB or RB are not going to be part of his plan moving forward as he has also stated.. OJ Howard may be listed as a TE as Zac Ertz is, but he’s a Playmaker, NFL ready and probably a 10Year perennial Pro-Bowler…
Does any other Receiver (WR or TE) in this Draft have as much upside as OJ Howard?

There’s no doubt Mac, that’s Lots of things can and will change between now and Draft Weekend come May… Teams will Release a Few Players, Re-do some contracts, Sign Free-Agents, let some of their FA walk, maybe a trade or two.. but I go back to what GM Roseman said himself publicly is that their $ his biggest Priority is to surround Wentz with Weapons that can grow together and become the future Core group to compete for a Championship rather than putting Band-aids on certain positions which means adding more players thru the Draft rather than signing High-Priced Free-Agents
In terms of my picks or Mock Drafts posted here in January, February, March & April are basically guesses on what the Team needs as of now and the Top Players who are forecasted… Just in the last 2 Weeks there have been 4 Players who were ranked in the Top #25 all have Surgeries and Injuries which now probably hurts their Draft Status , I’m sure there’s will be a few more plus what off the field issues may arise … plus what else is there to talk about in the Off-Season except for adding new Players, Cap Situation & the Draft
I still like TE OJ Howard if he’s on the Board at #14/#15 , then a CB in the 2nd & 4th Rounds with a WR in the 3rd Round ..

No on Claiborne… someone is going to pay him and he cannot stay on the field. He only played 7 games last year. Forget it. Though he is young, he is extremely injury prone.

If they are going to sign a FA CB, then they need to get it right. Too much risk on Claiborne.

February 3, 2017 6:07 pm

This is the deepest corner and rbs draft in a very very long time. I know philly needs a corner. I know we need a rb. But those two positions can be Addressed in the second and third round.

Also do not forget about also signing a corner in FA. Apparently Trumain Johnson out of St. Louis apparently doesn’t fit what wade Phillips wants to do. And he could be joining his old teammate in Rodney McCleod. Maybe even AJ BOUYE from Houston.

With that being said and we add a corner in FA, and Wr Kenny stills/Desean and then draft a rb and corner in the second and 3rd.

Let’s say Corey Davis and mike Williams are our first pick dream scenarios, BUT both are Gone at 14.

How would u guys feel about OJ Howard with our top pick? Tight end who runs a 4.55 and is 6’5. Also has 34 inch arms (the same as Big V)

Didn’t have one drop last year acccording to PFF. Can block and has toughness. He didn’t have the eye popping stats but that’s because BAma runs and runs and runs some more
And then throws to a wr here and there also.

But he would be a great look at the 14th and weapon who can line up anywhere

TE Howard will be a Perennial Pro-Bowler if he gets with the right Team/Coach & System..
2017 – Eagles go with 4 TE’s ( Celek,Ertz, Burton & Howard)
2018 – Celek gets Released and Eagles Go with Howard, Ertz & Burton

Trey Burton is a Free-Agent this Off-Season and may not even be around by Draft time if he hits. The open market..

Falcons Terminate their Contracts with DC Richard Smith and DL Coach Bryan Cox and will be moving in another Direction on that side of the Ball
Both these Coaches were on the Falcons Staff as holdovers when HC Dan Quinn was hired 2 Years ago… Obviously giving up a 25 Pt Lead in the Super Bowl didn’t help their situations, but HC Dan Quinn has more authority now and is going to get his type of Coaches in place and is looking at possibly Marquand Manuel who was with Quinn as Safety/Secondary Coach when he was with Seattle…

Maybe the Eagles/Jim Schwartz can look at bringing in a Rick Smith/Bryan Cox to help with their Defense..

The patriots ran 93 plays to Atlantas 40.
And the defense held its part for three quarters. Anytime you play the greatest quarterback of all time and you’re on the field for over 90 plays bad things are gonna happen. Especially with multiple rookies.

With that being said it was not the defenses fault. It was the offenses fault. Not being able to stay on the field was terrible. They went 1-8 on third down. Matt Ryan took multiple sacks and held onto the ball too long and fumbled.
The terrible playcalling by Mike Shanahan and Dan Quinn was awful and resulted in multiple calls like not given the ball To marshawn Lynch on the 1 yard line. I mean that call. Widely regarded as the worst corn Super Bowl history. But Super Bowl 51 had like six or seven of those calls and they all were on the offensive side of the ball.

Arthur Blank was prematurely celebrating. Up in his box clapping, hugging his wife and dancing. He even went as far to go down on the sideline. He knew he couldn’t go back up and he had To sit there and be embarrassed as his team gave up the biggest blown choke artist job in Super Bowl history. Somebody had to be the scapegoat. And he fired two of Dan Quinn’s defensive assistants. Lol. What a joke!!

Now they hire Steve Sarkissian. Instead of Chip Kelly? That’s a joke in my Opinion, for I think Chip Kelly would make a great Cordinator. Especially with all those weapons.

And correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the Alabama offense of Cordinator scrutinizing critique of the same thing that happened in Atlanta.? Not running the football in the championship game against Clemson?

Atlanta is a joke. And so is matt Ryan. He has had the supporting cast any quarterback would dream of and still cannot get it done and became the quarterback we all know what he is in the second half. He is a good quarterback just not even close to being a great one.

Playing Seattle without their best player and the worst online and no running game they’ve had then a one man show against Aaron Rodgers all at the Georgia Dome.

They will never have a easy road like that again. Especially with everybody improving next year.

What makes them even more similar to each other is how quiet they are. They stay out of the media for the most part, for they know how evil it truly is.

So when Tom Brady, Bill B and Robert Kraft came out and had their boys back right before the election it showed they knew they had to do something. They did it anyway, knowing it would bring negative media. They knew it couldnt bring anything but bad shit into the locker room potentially.

LOL. Shows you how much of a pussy a lot of these athletes are. Truly have been brainwashed.

And I cannot blame them. It;s actually very easy to be nowadays.

So to be clear… Jenkins having a political view is bad but Jenkins,Brady and Kraft having a political view is ‘having their boys back’? …wow… Dude I’m a card carrying white dude and that is some racist bullshit.
As for what has trump ever done to blacks? … Um a real concrete example is discriminatory practices as a realtor with a stated plan to keep blacks out.
So again, the there white boys took a stand knowing the media would be mean (even tho hey don’t need the media) and the brother took a stand for pussy reasons? Dude cut up your KKK membership card

Whats the difference between Isis and Black Lives Matter?

Isis takes action and responsibility. The other just talks.

So yes, supporting something just because of its name is a pussy move.
Everybody and their mamma is offended by something nowadays and its truly pathetic and sad. You have to be politically correct with everything today or your a racist HAHA..

Lets make one thing clear. Everybody is racist. Whether you are a 5% racist or a 95% racist where you genuinely hate somebody because the color of their skin. Even animals are racist.

Thats the problem with electing a president, and loving one just because the color of his skin. Black people love Obama but yet what has he done for them? Besides make them more dependent on the government more so then ever.

And that is when a Liberal will use there “Racist!” card. But the funny thing is its happening to white people also! More white people are on welfare then blacks. More white people are killed by cops then blacks!

People need to take a step back, and realize that in 2017 we are all cogs in there system! We are all slaves. They took away that whip and replaced it with the dollar bill! We are all our here picking that metaphorical cotton.

Trump is what he is! A white successful man. And people want to put a villain label on that to the point where they compare to Hitler! LOL!!

By the way, he got sued in the 70s. Lets stop bringing up everyones skeletons. We did not elect a boy scout. We elected a head buster that needs to end this globalist mind set and focus on US,

At the end of the day it is not about white or black, etc. Its about all of us coming together!

Trump did not run for president for money or power. He already has all of that, He ran because he cares about America! and America only!

We do not live in a video game world where we can make evryone happy. Liberals need to wake up and accept that reality.

Not nearly as alarming as Bush and Obama. Night and day actually.

And no it’s not. Not when every team does it.

You can cheat in Cycling, Marathons, Swimming etc. Even boxing and baseball. A guy who hits 18 homeruns would go to 40. Thats because when you step up to that plate its basically a individual game at the moment. Just the batter and the pitcher

You cannot cheat in team sports. Especially football. At the end of the day you have to line up and beat your man. Overcoming a 10 point deficit agaainst Seattle and 25 against Atlanta debunks all that over exaggerated nonsense.

And remember, I am a Eagles fan. Not a Pats fan. it is what it is. He is just that great.

They have the same Head coach that was going to bring a superbowl to cleveland before they got sold to Baltimore. A team that improved every year in their program until they found out they were being shipped out.

Hes also like 15-5 without brady in NE? lOL

And you cannot cheat in football. Lol. So please stop with that weak overblown argument the media made up. Spygate is not what most people think it is.

Tony Dungy who coached on the Chiefs in the 90s took a QB from the 49ers who played with Walsh and Montana for 8 years. When he came to KC they played against his ex team. And guess what? They did not change their hand signals. The qb was able to correctly call every single play the 49ers were running.

Thats a fact, and a quote from Coach Tony Dungy.
What is even more funny, the Chiefs lost the game 14-28.

Teams have been taking others signals since Paul Brown coached. Thats also a fact. The colts were even doing it in 06. Everyone knew it but there was no tape.

It’s not different when Ray Rice got caught on camera and Greg Hardy did not. When there is tape, you’re even more guilty in the eyes of the public for some reason even though they are both pieces of shit.

So please stop with the stupid ass spy gate “cheating”. The 49ers won because they had Montana, Young, Rice and Walsh etc

Just like the Patriots win because they have Brady and Bill B..

And do we even need to bring up Deflate Gate against the shitty colts? LOL

Played ball for 14 years. You can’t cheat.

The team with the better talent and heart wins everytime.

Same goes in the NFL.
Except at the highest level any given Sunday u can have a upset. It’s not “cheating

It’s the best going up
Against the best.

You can know what a team is doing
All day. The question is, can u stop it?

The Tony Dungy example was the perfect one. U can know the plays, playbook, personnel and signals all u want. At the end of the day it comes down to heart and desire to win.

Now individual sports, and baseball. Another story

The Rams lost because Brady> Warner.

The panthers lost because they weren’t as good as New England. Or their qb.

Philly lost because MCnabb threw 3 interceptions and 1 crucial one in the red zone.

Atlanta choked. And Seattle is dumb.

So… A coach leaves a team and is pissed… The remaining coaches don’t know he’s pissed but he moves 3000 miles away… He anonymously sends mail to a rival coach that ‘when your team is in this formation your rival will…, when you are on the goal line your rival will, when u are in this defense your rival wil…” ….

So I guess Tony Dungy does not know what he is talking about either?

If you want to believe over exaggerated stories by the media that is all over blown to sell articles then go on ahead. If u don’t believe me go ahead and look at the deflate gate scandal. It is overblown and the same shit is talked about everyday all
For the money. And that’s just the fact of the world we live in. DRAMA sell. Just like Trump, and how the media believe it’s overblown bullshit about him calling him “Hitler” cause they know people will click on it.

It’s been 12-13 years since spy gate. And New England still has been the most successful organization since then going to 4 Super Bowls and winning 2. Also are 2 plays away total from 4-0 since then.

They win because they use the salary cap, FA, draft and develope better then anyone. And they have Brady and bill b.

Man not sure if I like this. Always hurt and got caught on the juice.

According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, “several league sources anticipate” the Eagles making a run at impending free agent Alshon Jeffery.
The Eagles desperately need an upgrade at wide receiver and Jeffery is easily the best wideout on the market. DeSean Jackson has also been linked to Philadelphia (where he played from 2008-13) while Torrey Smith could be an option if the 49ers make him available. The Eagles have a promising young quarterback in Carson Wentz. Now they just need to give him some weapons.

Two weeks ago it was Desean, last week Kenny Stills, yesterday it was Pierre Garcon, today it is Alshon Jeffery.

Welcome to Philly media. How many other FA WRs are there….I am sure I’ll read a “report” about each one of them before the month is out.

Alshon would be the best option for us. Imagine how much a Wr that big and with that skill set will open up for Ertz and Matthew?

Should make Nelson break out also with another elite wr to focus on the field.

Alshon has played for a shitty bears team and has had terrible qbs throwing him the ball. He has played in cold weather and has learned a lot his first years in the NFL.

A Change and fresh start is exactly what he needs

Desean is old. And would only be here 2-3 max.

Kenny stills played in New Orleans and Miami and does not know what it’s like to play in the cold consistent and is a one trick pony.

Bring in Kenny Britt or garçon along over those two.

Draft OJ howard.

Ct the cold weather argument holds no water…. I’m not in favor of either but, the weather? In the last two seasons Stills has played 9 games outdoors in Nov/Dec while Jeffrey has played 8.
Again, I’m not saying one over the other but weather…. I once again call bull shit… Your starting to compete with Fraudman in the throwing shit against the wall stuff.

Mid/Late 1st Round Draft Prospect WR John Ross is scheduled to have Surgery after the Indy Combine to repair a Torn Labrum and will be out a few months until early Summer which will hurt his Draft Status, also coming from the PAC-10 Conference means missing a lot of thos early Spring OTA Camps until they complete their Semester in early June really putting him behind as Summer Camp begins… Ross is 5-11″ 190 and runs a 4.3 and compares a lot to D-Jax but he’s a little bigger and stronger than when D-Jax came out of Cal so it will be interesting to see where he goes which now may be in that early-mid 2nd Round to some Team….

It doesn’t matter HAC

Would you rather have Alshon? Or Stills?

It’s Alshon and it’s not even close. Why would we want to add a poor mans Desean Jackson?

Get a big time physical WR that we havent had in a long time. I’m sick of these small guys. Unless your OBJ special talent we don’t need him.

I want someone Wentz can just chuck the football up to and he has a great chance of making a highly contested catch. Alshon excels In those 50/50 balls.

Bringing up the cold weather is just part of the argument.

He is a one trick pony as well. And is known to have a issue with drops.

The Eagles are currently approx $10 Million under the 2017 Cap of $175 Million
I think they will Cut/Release/Trade Jason Peters,Ryan Matthews, Connor Barwin & Michael Kendricks which will give them another $20 Million for a Total $30 Million to work with…
I also think they will attempt to rework Chase Daniels & Vinny Curry’s Deals to free up some 2017 $$$
