"Bears met with 4 RBs at the Combine...YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!..."

If I just start deleting and editing remy's posts as he responds...who has the leverage?

You do.

But please don't do that anymore. I mean you have the power and you can do whatever you want, but it creeps the hell out of me when you use it for editing a debate rather than its intended purpose which (I imagine) would be to remove threats of violence or revealing personal info and doxxing or any speech here that holds potential harm in the real world.

Except of course Foles is a free agent now and can negotiate with whomever he wants because the Eagles couldn't actually afford him as a backup as you suggested.

That is one way of looking at it and if one were eager to win a debate, I can see how you want to see it like that.

The other way of looking at it is that the Eagles are gambling that Wentz will stay healthy and grow more with zero safety net behind him. Many fans are pointing they COULD have afforded it but the Eagles have chosen to use space for other positions and crossing their fingers on number 11's health.

Everyone in Philly loves Wentz but doesn't trust him and thinks there is no better backup QB than Foles there (for obvious reasons).

That is literally not Foles using leverage against the Eagles, but the Eagles choosing how to use their own resources.

What will be kinda funny is if after voiding $20M guaranteed from the Eagles for one season and calling their bluff on franchise tagging him, he gets no more than say a 3yr $30M deal somewhere with $15 guaranteed. He may have won the battle but lost the war.

Florio and PFT is not journalism....it is basically a click-bait site.....

They might as well start each thread with "This happened and the cameraman just kept rolling...." or "She had no idea why the men kept cheering...."

"Bears met with 4 RBs at the Combine...YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!..."

LOL - those click-bait titles crack me up. And if you've ever tried one, it's funny how the last, 30th 'Next' page, is the pictured topic. It's more a lab experiment.

I think it's obvious Foles wants to start, and he'll win that war. Plus he knows he'll get close to or more than $20m in guaranteed money anyway. He can't lose, unless he sucks.

Not really lose any way for him to completely lose, but if he could have stayed in Philly, made $20M, and with CW's injury history, have a good chance of playing or at worst made $20M and preserved his body for a 2020 FA cash in vs getting out now and get maybe around the same money guaranteed over 3 years,not sure which is better.

Likely would have been a moot point regardless, Philly had until the 5th day of the league year to void the option year they picked up. He was never going to be in Philly next season, almost assuredly.

Deep State Rumor

Apparently 104.3 The Fan, a Denver Radio station, has been shooting down the Amos to Denver stuff because their sources close to the Broncos think he is staying in Chicago and the Broncos are leverage.

What number are the current cap estimates based on?

I think $190 million, came in lower I believe.

Ah, well that's not good. I assumed since it went up that was good news.

someone else can probably confirm to be exact.

I don't think 'preserving your body' for 2020 is at all enticing for 30 year old Foles who's never been allowed to play a full season. It's really hard for a QB to make progress or maintain his skills if he doesn't start every game.

Adam Schefter - "The three teams that have shown the most interest in wide receiver Antonio Brown to date are the Oakland Raiders, Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans, per league sources. Thus, the battle for Brown could develop into a battle between Grudens, Jon and Jay."
