Mike and Ted have a mancrush on QB1 and Kuhn keeps QB1 on his feet.

Protecting the QB is always a top priority. Plus, he offers something in a few other areas, so his position is justified.

I agree that Boykin most likely will make the team. But then if they fall in love with Janis and only want 5 WR do they release Abbrederis? Most likely they wold keep 6. They have done it in the past. So that shakes someone from another position.

Doddpower, Kuhn is super interesting in all of this. Good STs player in spite of his boneheaded move last season... not particularly the greatest lead blocker, but, man, can that guy pass protect. Plus, he and Rodgers are good friends. He seems to have a free pass. But, what if this Colt kid can be the FB? I still cannot see them parting with John Kuhn!

steveishere & wpr, I cannot see them letting Boykin go either, unless they trade him. I agree they will massage the roster to keep 6 WRs this year. Nelson, Cobb, Boykin, Adams, Abbrederis, and Janis.

This is telling too, in that we are probably going to lose some valuable young talent off of our PS this year. Ted has got some very tough decisions in front of him, but he has time.

Tramon Williams, Jarrett Bush, Brad Jones could all go for salary reasons alone.

Bostick, Banjo, Ryan Taylor, Barrington, Jamari Lattimore, Mulumba, Palmer, Sherrod, Lane Taylor

I see the most change at LB (OLB and ILB). Should be one heckuva competition in TC.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Letroy Guion. He was only signed to a one year deal that couldn't have been terribly expensive. I doubt it would happen but then again Ted did sign guys like him in the 2012 offseason only to give them all the ax.

There are a lot of guys who could go.

My particular favorites to go would be Brad Jones, Sean Richardson, Guion, Palmer, Banjo, White.

Endangered players I would regret seeing go: Stoneburner, Bush.

True bubble cases - their fate depending mainly on how other players do:

Goode, Bostick, Mulumba, Lattimore, Harris, Lane Taylor, Barclay.

Undoubtedly either Flynn or Tolzien will go. I wish it would be Flynn, but Tolzien is more likely.

Just realized we now have two players with a lot of FB experience who primarily play other positions, Colt Lyerla and Carl Bradford. Will this spell the end of John Kuhn at FB in GB? That is one extremely valuable roster spot he is taking up... Not that I don't appreciate what he brings in STs and in pass protection. Kuhn is a super popular player. But, IMO, he is not a very effective lead blocker anymore in the run game. That seemed to go away a couple of seasons ago.

Could Ted actually move on from him this year? He has the two-way talent to take up some of that slack.

I wouldn't call him a lock but I think he's easily worth what we are paying him and I think it would be a mistake to cut him until someone else on the roster actually proves they can do what he does.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
