As a long suffering Skins fan, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chippah needs to go to Tennessee and destroy Mariota's career next.
AMEN brother, feels good for a change. GO SKINS!

Enjoy the "top" of the division this year. The Eagles will be back, and so too the Cowboys, and the Giants will find a way to win the close games again.

Cowboys get healthy, i would still consider them the team to beat. Skins gotta get better, there's not question about that i have delusions that they are a great team yet. They won an injury riddled, mixed up division. And the Skins get a 1st place schedule, that will not be easy to negotiate either. This time next year the division standings could look totally different.

Pretty sure the Skins QB is a free agent, if so do the Iggles go after him?
Seems he has more up side, than Bradford

Looks like the 49ers will talk with Chip

I was referring to Cousins, sorry about not being clear. Bradford is going to get $12-15 M if you keep him, not sure what the length of contract he'll get

To take a division rivals starting QB could help in more than 1 way

I see Bradford coming back for the Franchise Tag before I see Washington letting Cousins walk. Neither scenario happens imo, I just think the FT is more likely than Cousins.

If the Eagles can keep Bradford at 12-15, it becomes a no-brainer. Plug in 1-2 more NFL caliber O-lineman, replace a few of his WRs, and I think that side of the ball is good to go. There was no continuity at all for the offense this year, but its nothing a few tweaks here and there cant cure. Build around Matthews and Ertz with a 1-2 more playmakers, and they're off and running.

The Eagles arent as far gone as my friends and family would lead you to believe. Mind you, these are the same dopes that ran Andy out of town. I am absolutely LOVING throwing his current team's situation right into the faces of my loved ones. They simply have no retort for me. There's no denying that his teams get MUCH better as the year goes on, something we've been missing since he left. Long gone are the days where the Eagles motto was "NEXT MAN UP & LETS NOT SKIP A BEAT DOING IT" .... and BOY, those were the years. Hoping the next man in here can bring a winning culture with him, instead of milkshakes and sports science awards.

Cousins is going to get paid to stay in DC. Young Daniel will see to that.

Not going anywhere.

The Eagles need to revamp their entire offense in the wake of Chip Kelly. A lot of the existing pieces will not fit a traditional Pro-Style Offense, they were hodgepodged together to fit Kelly's wacko scheme. Getting rid of Desean Jackson, Jeremy Macklin and Lesean McCoy was beyond idiotic, they were big pieces that are not easily replaced plus unless you are getting a 1st round QB, he is going to have to grow into the role.

They'll likely stick with Bradford and build an offense around him, then draft a QB when they have a servicable offense in place.

Anyone that thinks this team is a new coach and year away from being competitive again is delusional.
