And the Eagles haven't won a Super Bowl. Times are changing. Haha.
Someone must really be butt hurt because it is nowhere near the same situation. When was the last time you had a winning season? Oh... 2002? Ouch. Nice try though.

Cap goes up, salary goes up.
Just catching up on the news here but wtf is this shit?
Chip didn't make McCoy, Maclin, and or DeSean.
These guys were top talent before Chip ever got to Philly. Yes his schemes are helping them put up better #s but that doesn't mean you can just plug anyone in.
How has Cooper looked after his 1 decent season? How did Foles look in season 2? These guys are mediocre to just above average talent and it showed once teams had film on them. That won't be the issue with McCoy, DeSean, or Maclin.
Scheme can only take you so far if you don't have talented guys to execute it.
If they were willing to pay 9M for Maclin, why not 11M? Dude is a great locker room guy, has great hands, and runs precise routes. The team has loads of cap space room.
I was sort of thinking I understood what Chip was doing but have no clue now.
Maybe trading for the #1 pick which would include WR Evans from TB is true...

Detroit Lions draft class said:
Deion Branch and recently Julian Edelman?
We don't tend to draft right off the board instant top of the league receivers, but we've developed some really solid guys. Also Gronk and Hernandez basically count as drafted receivers really
Bringing up Maclin's injury is especially stupid when as pro last season was the only time he was injured and missed the season.
If you can't retain Maclin cause of injury concerns then why trade for Kiko?
Fuck man this team went from DeSean, Maclin, and McCoy to Gore, Sproles, and Riley fucking Cooper.

Edelman was a QB and Branch was drafted 13 years ago. Bill is good at drafting TE's, but take a look at all of the WR's he has drafted. Bust after bust after bust.
The best receivers typically have huge egos - something Bill stays away from.
They didn't just put up better numbers, they put on their best numbers. I can't see them besting those numbers with their current teams. The Eagles still put up a ton of points without Foles last season, not to mention the back-up O-Line we had starting half the year. Sanchez came in and started relying on Matthews, and it worked until defenses figured out that he couldn't throw it accurately further than 10 yards. What I'm saying is that Chip is betting on his system working. Thus far, it has. The defense has been our Achilles heel, and we're fixing it. He deserves the benefit of the doubt here. Honestly though, Maclin wasn't worth 11M, and Chip felt the same way. There's still a long way till the season starts, let's see what moves are made at the WR position. It's Jeremy maclin, not Calvin Johnson.
Congrats. The snow is melting here. We might hit 50 on Tuesday
Yeah usually doesn't get the big ego guys. The slot game we play works well with catching backs too so we generally don't need big time WRs. But I agree it would help to have that threat there in addition to Gronk

Good to hear! Hope it doesn't drop below 32 soon after.
Holy shit is this real?! What a downgrade.
Congrats my man!! Make sure you save up some dough so you can fly out and visit me, Chan, and Chris Treyo in Sunny San Diego!!

Pernell McPhee
Rahim Moore
Jordan Cameron
Jermaine Gresham
And no trade down, in 1st at least.
Maybe get a sense of humor.

"Just met Mr Big Shot!!!!(D-Mac)" - @McCourtyTwins
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!

It's not Maclin money either. KC was desperate, and paid up. Same thing we may do with McCourty.
Not that much, neither team is going to be a SB contender for a few years.
I will! The money is flowing in from these old fuckers.

thats just your opinion. in todays market, I think it is for alot of reasons.
Without Foles as if we went from Brady to Sanchez.
Foles and Sanchez both played about the same with similar completion % s, both only beat 1 good playoff team, and both were turnover machines.
Chip's system mostly elevated mediocre guys like Foles, Sanchez, and for 1 year Cooper.
Chip might be betting on his system working but so far its worked because of the elite talent he has had at the skill positions. McCoy routinely would make something out of nothing. DeSean drew doubles and could take the top off of any D. Maclin was the complete WR perfect to complement DeSean. You act like he took 3 no name scrubs and turned them into all pro players.
You can only rely on your scheme for so long without any talent to execute it.
Exactly. We are about to severely overpay for Maxwell who even if he is great definitely benefitted from the scheme and other great players on the Seattle D. But that's ok?
Paying Maclin 9M per is ok but 11 isn't? 11M per year isn't CJ money.
Crabtree and Gore to replace Maclin and McCoy while paying them the same money. Moronic.

"S Devin McCourty expected to remain with the Patriots, source says." - @MikeGarafolo
I had no clue that was an attempt to be funny. I apologize. Sarcasm and "jokes" are easily lost through text. Still though... In all seriousness, it has to be tough being a Raiders fan. It looks like you might finally have a franchise QB with a lot of money to surround him with talent and so far no one wants to become part of that team.

suck it?! you act like we were winning free agency or something
but go ahead and kick us while we are down
Honestly it's for the best. DMC is a great guy and a damn solid safety, but again he's a tier 2 receiver... he's tier 1 in this NFL right now given the landscape, but he's not worth breaking the bank, hopefully his deal is 8m or so.

what was the point of not paying maclin an extra 2 mil again?
oh, so we could resign Nate Allen
