Eagles News: Derek Barnett’s deadline approaching

Let’s go to the Philadelphia Eagles links …

How Early NFL Signatures Can Affect Eagles’ Derek Barnett Plans – NBCSP
Because if the [Okwara] If the reported salary is accurate, it could increase Barnett’s value if he reaches the open market. Prior to the deal, the common sense was that Barnett would get about $ 8 million a year from the Eagles somewhere on a long-term deal that would spread his cap battle and give the Eagles 2021 relief or on the open market if he got it. . there. The Eagles have until Wednesday 16:00 – the start of the new league year – to agree with Barnett on a long-term deal, pay him a $ 10 million tender which also counts $ 10 million against the 2021 limit or release him. If the market for a player of that caliber has increased, Barnett’s camp may be more reluctant to agree a long-term deal with the Eagles. That would force the Eagles to decide whether to cut ties with a player they drafted with the 14th pick in 2017 or to keep the $ 10 million one-year deal.

Philadelphia Eagles: Free Agency News, Best Options Available, Safe Plans – The Athletic
As far as Barnett is concerned, the deadline is fast approaching and all four options – extension, reduction, trading, holding on to the fifth-year option – are still on the table. I still think the most likely outcome is an extension before Wednesday. His leverage is to be willing to play on the option, which is a high price from the Eagles’ vantage point. The Eagles have ways to get under the cap by Wednesday without changing Barnett’s goal kick, but that’s one of the easier ways. And like I said all season, Barnett is one of the few good, young players the Eagles have. They must be cultivating it.

Condition of the Eagles: Primer in 2021 – BGN
To repeat, 2016 has the benefit of reflection, but these summaries over 2016 were largely as true as today. Maybe I’m too pessimistic, but the current situation of the Eagles feels like it’s going to be much more than a three-year project … to at least win a Super Bowl. I see a much slower evolving rebuilding, similar to what the bills did in Buffalo. And they ride with Tyrod Taylor during McDermott’s first year as a coach. Strategically, there seems to be more value in taking a leading non-quarterback talent at six and riding with Hurts (I finally mentioned him!). If he looks like the answer this year – great! You do not need a quarter. If he does not, you will probably have an excellent position to take in 2022. But by that time, you might have a young dynamic playmaker with one year of NFL experience to help the new man.

Mailbag: Eagles will have to face a lot of future competition for quarterbacks if they do not set one up now – PhillyVoice
I think the Broncos are an excellent example of the scenario you set out above. They went into 2020 with a sophomore second quarter in Drew Lock, which in 2019 showed something like a rookie. Lock and the Broncos had a terrible 2020 season, going 5-11 with a point differential of -123, which was the fourth worst in the NFL. Lock was not even ‘OK’, and they choose ninth! If Denver is not trading very far, chances are the top four guys will all disappear by the time they pick, and that’s in a loaded quarterback draft.

Brandon Graham extends contract, keeps leaders in locker room and plays on field – PE.com
We see the plan unfold, and as the Eagles prepare for the start of the 2021 NFL business year that begins Wednesday at 4 p.m., they are going to do it with a familiar framework. Yes, the Eagles are in a ‘transition period’ with the roster, as Jeffrey Lurie, chairman and CEO, said in January. But it is clear that the transition will include important veterans who will be part of the recharge. Defensive end Brandon Graham is the youngest player to provide positive news, as the Eagles announced Monday night that Graham had signed a contract extension through the 2022 season, and the Pro Bowl pass rusher could not have been happier. ‘At the end of the day,’ he said, ‘this is where I want to be. I love the energy and I know we are going to get things right here. ”

NFL Free Agency in 2021: Patriots sign wide receiver Nelson Agholor on two-year, $ 26 million contract – Pats pulpit
The 27-year-old Agholor joined the Raiders last season after five so-and-so years with the Philadelphia Eagles. A viable deep threat that could pose both in the slot and on the outside – potentially fulfilling the Z receiver role in New England – the former first-round draft pick will add the much-needed great playability to a Patriots wide receiving room it has only been missing for the past two years.

2021 NFL Free Agency: Patriots sign defender Jalen Mills to $ 24 million four-year contract – Pats Preekstoel
Mills originally joined the NFL in 2016 as a seventh-round draft pick by the Philadelphia Eagles, and has played 63 regular-season games, as well as four playoff games for the organization over the next five years. Starting as a cornerback, he moved into a more versatile role over the 2020 season: Mills saw most of his snaps as a boxing safety, while also seeing a lot of action deep or on the outside, and the angular spots could play. Although the Patriots already had one of the deepest defensive backs in the NFL entering the off-season, Mills gives them another versatile player to bolster his overall depth.

Jacksonville Jaguars Agree with Safety Rudy Ford, by Report – Big Cat Country
The 26-year-old safety included eight games (one start) for the Eagles 15 tackles in 2020, including one tackle for loss.

He spent two seasons with the Cardinals in the desert. According to the Pro Football Reference, Ford recorded 35 tackles and one tackle for loss in 41 career games, including two starts. He will provide competition on the security positions and strengthen the units for special teams in Jacksonville.

Darby is a 5-11, 193-pound cornerback who has played six seasons in the NFL. The 27-year-old cornerback was drafted by the Buffalo Bills with their 50th overall pick in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft. He then played three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles before spending last season with the Washington Football Team. Last season for the soccer team, he scored a total of 54 tackles, 0 interceptions, and he also had a draw for league-high 16 draws.

2021 NFL Free Agency: Houston Texans sign linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill – Battle Red Blog
Grugier-Hill spent his career at Philadelphia before moving to Miami. Last year in Miami, he played 20% of the defensive snaps, and 52% of the special teams. With linebackers Zach Cunningham and Christian Kirksey in the rankings, the Texans need help with the lineout for coverage. Gruiger-Hill presents it, along with special teams that also play.

Washington signs Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 1-year deal – Hogs Haven
Washington apparently found its vet’s QB response in former Dolphins’ QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. Initial reports were that Fitz was looking to retire, but coach Ron could probably lure him one more time, DC.

Reports: Free agent Cam Erving to Panthers, Cowboys interested in free safety Damontae Kazee – Blog The Boys
Kazee was in Atlanta for four years when Quinn was the head coach. Safety is definitely a need for the Cowboys with Xavier Woods as a free agent. Kazee was an appetizer in Atlanta, but he tore his Achilles in early October of the 2020 season.

NFL Free Agency: Giants lose DT Dalvin Tomlinson to Minnesota Vikings – Big Blue View
Tomlinson has started every game for New York since the Giants selected him in the second round of the 2017 draft. The 27-year-old has delivered 3.5 sacks and 49 tackles in East Rutherford over the past two seasons. In 2020, he delivered a career high of 10 QB hits and 8 dives for loss. He also recorded a career high in snaps and played 60 percent of the Giants defensive game in 2020. However, it looks like Tomlinson has become an accident on salary after the Giants put the franchise label on co-defender Leonard Williams. The Giants, in an effort to create a cap space, are working to sign Williams in the long term and restructure the contract of attacking tackle Nate Solder. None of these transactions took place.

Report: Former Colts Safety free agent Clayton Geathers Looking to continue his career – Stampede Blue
The 28-year-old safety was fully healthy, a locker room leader and an effective, hard-working hybrid safety for the Colts defense. However, after ending a season during the 2016 season, he never fully recovered after surgery, even seasons later. Veteran safety will join an NFL team this season, but chances are it will not be with the Colts – as the defense needs a more volatile, cover-oriented safety (less in the box in style of play than Geathers) to to go forward with returning beginners Khari Willis and Julian Blackmon.

Report: Detroit Lions Release Chase Daniel, Danny Shelton – Pride Of Detroit
As expected, the Detroit Lions will make more roster moves to remove the space before the start of the new league year. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, quarterback Chase Daniel and defensive tackle Danny Shelton are released. Together, the moves should clear a total of $ 6.3 million for the 2021 season. The Lions were reportedly looking for Daniel last week, but apparently could not find any suitors willing to take his $ 4.3 million salary this year (and possibly $ 5 million in 2022). Daniel signed a three-year deal last season, but because the Lions underwent a new rebuild, including a new starting quarterback, it spent far too much on a rugby quarterback.

Report: Andy Dalton ‘may’ be on his way to the Bears – Windy City Gridiron
Earlier today on the NFL network, Ian Rapoport reported that the Chicago Bears were one of a few teams that showed a “significant” interest in free agent Andy Dalton, but he followed suit by saying the Bears interested in every available quarter, so I dismissed it as just the usual rumors of free agencies. But moments ago, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune tweeted that the “next QB domino that could fall could be Andy Dalton, and one league source said he believes the Red Rifle could go to the Bears.” Biggs, who has been covering the Bears for years, was very pleased with his reports, because if he puts it out here, I believe. Biggs also reported tonight that his sources tell him that the Bears are still in a possible trade in Russell Wilson.
