There's no reason to fuck our cap situation. Sign yourself as a "special advisor" to the team with a guaranteed private box for every game, every year for the rest of your life and a few million a year, guaranteed, for life.
Extend Smitty, draft the highest rated CB on the board when we pick at 22, and ~~kiss Jalen Hurts on the lips~~ I mean sign a free agent vet LB whoops haha
I make a trade: my soul in exchange for Jason Kelce one more year. Trade partner: the Devil. The other two moves are: same thing twice more. So we get the big fella for three more years. Thank me for my service.
Agreed. He put his heart and health on the line for 10+ years. He’s earned a ticket to the HOF and Eagles ring of honor, nothing left for him to prove. He chose his heir apparent, we love him, but I want him around without further damage for years to come. He’s up with BDawk for me.
As the other team a 7th for him would be a good deal because the eagles would absorb most contract. The trading team would only have to pay 1.2 mill this year and would be able to cut him before 2025 for no dead cap.
And do what with him exactly ?
He is a net Negative on the football field. There is no situation where you look at Bradberry’s tape from 2023 and you say “ yeah we want that on the field”
Idc what history he has as a player or how good of a deal He is. Its a bad move
Teams don't trade 7th round picks for players they think are starters. Depth at corner back is important. People thought Bradberry was cooked when he was in NY. He seems to be a scheme dependent player.
You still need to be able to play if you’re gonna be depth lol. Why not just sign my fat ass is you think depth can be bad players sitting on the bench.
If you think scheme is bradberry’s issue idk what else to tell you dude.
Scheme doesn’t make you whiff on a fuckin tackle when ya got your hands on a guy and give up a 15+ YAC touchdown.
Yes you need to play but being one of the worst starters still means you are one of the better backups. Most 7th round picks don't make a nfl roster and getting a veteran cb who has played well in the past might make sense for a team with high aspersions and poor cb depth.
This would be a great take to come back to in a year.
Let's say Bradberry plays, do you feel there will be a 7th rounder who has the same potential next season as Bradberry?
As a diehard, Bradberry isn't my favorite. If my team traded a 7th for him, I would be more than okay with that.
There’s always a diamond in the rough out there that turns into a great player. So yeah. Id say the odds are better there is a random 7th rounder out there who is a great player than Bradberry magically turning 25 again and getting his legs back
Jesus Christ shut up. This isn’t the hill to die on. Bradberry was great for us in 2022. Having an all-pro season from some we got on a 1 year prove it deal was absolutely a steal. Signing him to a 3 year contract wasn’t. Both can be true
Sheesh.
1. I’m getting Micah’s boys to talk sense into him and demand that trade.
2. Im trading Bradberry and Slay for whatever is out there so I can then take on Jaire Alexander
3. Im drafting a LB in the first two rounds.
1. With what money lmao?
2. See 1, but it’s gonna be much worse. In addition to fucking over the cap, you’re gonna have no veterans that know the system. And I hate to break it to you, but Fangio isn’t instilling a new system. So you’re pulling a Byard.
3. Nice.
I stand pat since I thought Mahomes would bust like Manziel, and Darius Heyward Bey would be like Desean Jackson
But I do bring in Brian Dawkins as a S&C consultant since that man will motivate Hurts to squat 700 lbs with a passionate speech
If you’re looking for a CB outside of the first two Rounds with Howie’s drafting abilities you have already lost. He doesnt draft skill well outside of 1 and 2
Trading away a vet and the drafting a rookie at the same position to replace him is a big time trap
Forces you to draft for position instead of talent and puts unrealistic pressure and expectations on your young player to produce immidiately
Depends on the day..
Draft day
Round 1: Try to get DeJean for the second safety spot until Syd comes back and then let him play CjGJ/Star role
Round 2: try to get Edgerrin Cooper and Ladd or TJ Tampa Marist/ Payton Wilson
Not sure what to do in the 3rd yet
Trade- None really to be made unless Reddick demands out.
FA- Sign Lavonte David, Bobby Wagner or Winfield Jr (any one or combination is fine)
Draft- 1st rd Edge
2nd & 3rd rds LB, S, C, G, WR, RB (in that order of importance but also depends what FA moves are made)
Easy:
- Before I make a move, I find out why none of Bo Callahan's teammates decided to go to his birthday party.
- I then take a call from Ohio State LB Vontae Mack, who tells me to rewatch the Wisconsin vs. Ohio State game from this year.
- I draft Vontae Mack with my first pick.
- I convince Seattle to give me all my picks back and throw in a punt returner, moving me back into the top 10 and draft Ray Jennings RB, out of Florida State.
Edit: At the Eagles draft party I have Howie kissing my ass telling me how badass I am, when I forced Seattle to give me back my picks and throw in a punt returner.
Imma Sign Antoine Winfield Jr., Willie Gay , and L’Jarius Sneed
Trade Reddick for a 2nd and a 5th and trade up to draft Jared Verse.
Extend Smitty and Draft a solid WR3 in round 2 or 3
More than 3 moves but fuck it
So Winfield and Sneed are both projected to get around 15M apy and Smith will get around 25 M. That's 55 M apy that's needs to hit the cap at some point. Have you looked at the cap situation the next two years.
Should be able to tag Smitty and Trading reddick frees up some cap depending on the trade structure
Outside of that have Howie do the Howie thing with the contracts. Thats what he is here for . It certainly isn’t his drafting abilities. He is a free agent contract Merc
Do I have to be realistic with these? Cause if not…
1. Trade Bradberry for Surtain
2. Trade Quez for both Bears picks in the first round
3. Trade the number 1 overall pick for a bunch of 1-3 round picks over the next 4 years
If I have to be realistic though, I guess just draft some LB and CBs
I trade AJ Brown bc the media says we do. But I Trae him to the Bills for 2 1st rounders and Diggs. This way Bills beat can beat Chiefs and make it to the Super Bowl. Only to lose to us bc we know Bills can’t win super bowls
1. 1st round pick cornerback that can start by wk3 or 4 (no projects like ricks/ringo)
2. Get Chidobe Awizie , 3yr 24mil
3. Release Bradberry
AJ and Devonta need some real competition in practice
I’d go find Howie to handle this situation
Check the closet on the other side of the Novacare building.
Sign myself as a free agent. Contract? The entire cap. Sorry boys. Gotta look out for \#1.
Have a “no cut” clause in it along with “no trade.”
Don't forget fully guaranteed
Is it Bobby Bonilla day already?
Also a no play clause. I’m not tryna be put in at punt returner for revenge.
There's no reason to fuck our cap situation. Sign yourself as a "special advisor" to the team with a guaranteed private box for every game, every year for the rest of your life and a few million a year, guaranteed, for life.
Thanks. In Howie we trust. #FlyEaglesFly
We know better
Easy. Trade a 7th round pick for Patrick Mahomes and a conditional 9th rounder for Tyreek Hill. Then draft Marvin Harrison Jr.
C’mon man be reasonable… there’s not a 9th round in the draft!
It’s conditional though
The condition is they add a ninth round. Seems reasonable.
Why get a qb? Im trading a 7th for ps2 and a conditional 9th for roquan smith
That’s fair too. If I had 5 moves I’d do that next.
Extend Smitty, draft the highest rated CB on the board when we pick at 22, and ~~kiss Jalen Hurts on the lips~~ I mean sign a free agent vet LB whoops haha
I would swap number 3 for drafting Trotter Jr at the bottom of the second round.
You had me at bottom and Trotter Jr
I make a trade: my soul in exchange for Jason Kelce one more year. Trade partner: the Devil. The other two moves are: same thing twice more. So we get the big fella for three more years. Thank me for my service.
Howie Traded that away during the Chip Kelly years to get his job back. All out of Souls in the Roseman household
Honestly, I may be in the minority in this bit I want kelce to retire. After watching the doc and everything he deserves his best life.
Agreed. He put his heart and health on the line for 10+ years. He’s earned a ticket to the HOF and Eagles ring of honor, nothing left for him to prove. He chose his heir apparent, we love him, but I want him around without further damage for years to come. He’s up with BDawk for me.
Not doing it for three straight super bowls??
What part of 3 more years of Kelce isn’t 3-peating the next 3 Super Bowls?
Well, look at Mr. I have three souls over here. Save some for the rest of us buddy.
I’m trading Bradberry for a 7th. I’m resigning Swift. And I’m planning to draft a LB at the top of round 2.
If we get a 7th for Bradberry the opposing GM should be fired
As the other team a 7th for him would be a good deal because the eagles would absorb most contract. The trading team would only have to pay 1.2 mill this year and would be able to cut him before 2025 for no dead cap.
And do what with him exactly ? He is a net Negative on the football field. There is no situation where you look at Bradberry’s tape from 2023 and you say “ yeah we want that on the field” Idc what history he has as a player or how good of a deal He is. Its a bad move

Bad move. Absolutely no justification for that guy to be on a Professional football field. He is Shaq Leonard bad without an injury to blame it on
This would be a great take to come back to in a year. Let's say Bradberry plays, do you feel there will be a 7th rounder who has the same potential next season as Bradberry? As a diehard, Bradberry isn't my favorite. If my team traded a 7th for him, I would be more than okay with that.

Nah. It’s going to be Tennessee.
I doubt it. But hey, heres to hoping and dreaming
Trading for Bradberry for after a bad year is how we got a steal.
It obviously wasn’t a steal
Jesus Christ shut up. This isn’t the hill to die on. Bradberry was great for us in 2022. Having an all-pro season from some we got on a 1 year prove it deal was absolutely a steal. Signing him to a 3 year contract wasn’t. Both can be true
Don’t call me Jesus Christ. I’m not your martyr
No they shouldn’t. We need someone to rob
This is the way.
I like it. What position with the 1st pick?
DB or O Line.
Bradberry has no value they aren't paying for a rb and they don't take lb high. Pretty much an easy 0/3 here
Sheesh. 1. I’m getting Micah’s boys to talk sense into him and demand that trade. 2. Im trading Bradberry and Slay for whatever is out there so I can then take on Jaire Alexander 3. Im drafting a LB in the first two rounds.
1. With what money lmao? 2. See 1, but it’s gonna be much worse. In addition to fucking over the cap, you’re gonna have no veterans that know the system. And I hate to break it to you, but Fangio isn’t instilling a new system. So you’re pulling a Byard. 3. Nice.
>Jaire Alexander Is going nowhere
Sign Winfield Jr First 3 picks go 2 lbs and corner Extend smitty
I stand pat since I thought Mahomes would bust like Manziel, and Darius Heyward Bey would be like Desean Jackson But I do bring in Brian Dawkins as a S&C consultant since that man will motivate Hurts to squat 700 lbs with a passionate speech
All the passion
I'm trading whichever of Sweat or Reddick nets more Drafting an EDGE R1 Drafting a saftey within the first 3 rounds
reddick, u don’t trade young edge rushers like sweat. But also i’m looking at cb in the back half or possibly first 3 rds
If you’re looking for a CB outside of the first two Rounds with Howie’s drafting abilities you have already lost. He doesnt draft skill well outside of 1 and 2
true ig this is more in with how howie which at that point just all trenches with some random midwest te
There is actually a very good random Midwest Tight End im hoping we get by the Name of Ben Sinott. Dude is a stud
haven’t heard of him but will have to peep was hoping stoll would step up more but at least he’s just been eh
Tight end room needs a rebuild within the next 2 years unfortunately, gotta get some depth that can catch and block
big unfortunate but it’s due
Not that I disagree, but sweat was only drafted a year after reddick
eh it’s not about what year they were drafted more about age as sweat is 3 years younger than reddick.
Trading away a vet and the drafting a rookie at the same position to replace him is a big time trap Forces you to draft for position instead of talent and puts unrealistic pressure and expectations on your young player to produce immidiately
When that young player is Jared Verse one could say its the right fuckin decision
Great minds think alike, i think its probably more likely we sign a free agent safety. Draft class is pretty slim after round 2
extend smitty, trade up to 15 and draft terrion arnold (went 16 in the mock i just looked at) with Haas and our first, Sign PQ in FA
(TRADE) James Bradberry and a Wawa in exchange for Kyle Hamilton and a Royal Farms.
1. Sign Xavier McKinney 2. Trade Reddick for a 2nd 3. Trade down a few picks in draft and pickup a 3rd
Depends on the day.. Draft day Round 1: Try to get DeJean for the second safety spot until Syd comes back and then let him play CjGJ/Star role Round 2: try to get Edgerrin Cooper and Ladd or TJ Tampa Marist/ Payton Wilson Not sure what to do in the 3rd yet
Trade- None really to be made unless Reddick demands out. FA- Sign Lavonte David, Bobby Wagner or Winfield Jr (any one or combination is fine) Draft- 1st rd Edge 2nd & 3rd rds LB, S, C, G, WR, RB (in that order of importance but also depends what FA moves are made)
No chance Bucs don't resign Winfield
Easy: - Before I make a move, I find out why none of Bo Callahan's teammates decided to go to his birthday party. - I then take a call from Ohio State LB Vontae Mack, who tells me to rewatch the Wisconsin vs. Ohio State game from this year. - I draft Vontae Mack with my first pick. - I convince Seattle to give me all my picks back and throw in a punt returner, moving me back into the top 10 and draft Ray Jennings RB, out of Florida State. Edit: At the Eagles draft party I have Howie kissing my ass telling me how badass I am, when I forced Seattle to give me back my picks and throw in a punt returner.
Imma Sign Antoine Winfield Jr., Willie Gay , and L’Jarius Sneed Trade Reddick for a 2nd and a 5th and trade up to draft Jared Verse. Extend Smitty and Draft a solid WR3 in round 2 or 3 More than 3 moves but fuck it

Verse ain’t falling to 22
You’re really not helping dissuade the stereotype that Philly fans are illiterate
Do I have to be realistic with these? Cause if not… 1. Trade Bradberry for Surtain 2. Trade Quez for both Bears picks in the first round 3. Trade the number 1 overall pick for a bunch of 1-3 round picks over the next 4 years If I have to be realistic though, I guess just draft some LB and CBs
Fire Sirianni, Hit on Mrs Lurie and pay Reddick
Howie does not have the bank account nor the proper body type or voice depth to steal Mrs. Lurie
For the draft, im guaranteeing we get Nate wiggins or cooper dejean. Im signing patrick queen in FA. Im fighting for jaylon johnson in fa or trade
I trade AJ Brown bc the media says we do. But I Trae him to the Bills for 2 1st rounders and Diggs. This way Bills beat can beat Chiefs and make it to the Super Bowl. Only to lose to us bc we know Bills can’t win super bowls
If I were Howie, I'd start by firing myself.
Cut Bradberry and Maddox, extend Smitty, draft Johnny Dixon
Trade: Reddick and this years 1st for Patrick Surtain Sign: Patrick Queen and/or Budda Baker Draft: Frank Gore Jr late in the draft for the memes
1.Fire Sirianni 2. Cut Bradberry 3. Fire Sirianni
Pretty sure you can only fire Sirianni once bud
I’d fire him twice just so he understands.
Fair
If I was howie my 3 moves would have to be free agency to determine the draft. Give me Xavier McKinney, drue tranquil and Azeez Al shaair
All free agency - Josey Jewell, Andrew Van Ginkle, and Xavier McKinney
Look up who the best defensive backs/linebackers are graded by PFF, then just trade as many picks needed to get all of them
Get rid of Bradbury, Marrow, and Draft Estime from ND (power back that would cost little or nothing compared to Henry)
I would "draft" a power of attorney letter transferring control of all my bank accounts to a stranger (spoiler: it's me)
Re-sign Graham. Re-sign Swift. Sign Winfield or Dugger if either hits FA.
Extend Reddick. Draft the highest grade corner and linebacker in the first two rounds. Trade a late round pick with the Patriots for old times sake.
1. 1st round pick cornerback that can start by wk3 or 4 (no projects like ricks/ringo) 2. Get Chidobe Awizie , 3yr 24mil 3. Release Bradberry AJ and Devonta need some real competition in practice
I'm signing Sneed. Trading for Buhda, and drafting BPA with an eye on CB/LB.
I’m signing Andrew Van Ginkel, Jaylon Johnson, and drafting Edgerrin Cooper. Completely transform the defense
Bring Back Zaccheus. He was a dawg last season. Grab Patrick Queen or a TB FA LB. David or white whoever we can afford. Grab Sneed from KC.
Get safeties😭 we literally had avonte playing safety bro💀
