Eagles News: Former player says problem in Philadelphia goes beyond Carson Wentz and Doug Pederson

Let’s go to Philadelphia Eagles links …

Old #Eagles player told me: “Doug was not the problem. Carson is not the problem. The problem is still there. “This feeling has been expressed to me by several others recently. More people across the league shared similar thoughts with me last week in Tampa.

ESPN reports that the Eagles “must negotiate Carson Wentz in the next few days” – BGN
A deal with Wentz seemed unlikely from the point of view that the Eagles would be responsible for $ 33.8 million in dead money, which marks a new NFL record. But it is possible that Wentz could help facilitate an agreement with some financial adjustments even more. Assuming there are no changes, the Eagles would release at least $ 852,928 in limit space (for Over The Cap) and prevent $ 10 million of their 2022 salary from being fully guaranteed on the third day of the 2021 league year. In other words , they would be tearing off the band-aid now. It has been thought that the Eagles should strive to revitalize Wentz instead of changing it. The problem with this line of thinking is that there is a serious concern that Wentz is trainable. And even if he does recover to pre-2020 form, one must ask whether it is a prudent idea to pay the money from the elite quarterback to a quarterback who has not been regularly elite.

Trading Carson Wentz: It’s nothing short of an organizational failure for Eagles – The Athletic
1. It is fair to look at the situation and shake your head, without believing that it has reached that point. No matter how much the Eagles think about it, there is no rationalization or explanation that would suffice. It is simply an organizational failure to exhaust the resources they made in Wentz, sign it with the biggest contract in the history of the franchise, and then negotiate it before the contract even starts – and absorb the greatest success in NFL history, if that is the case. There were high-level marriages in the NFL that ended in divorce; the Eagles and Wentz are not alone in that department. But an exchange will require the Eagles to analyze what they did to create this situation, where it went wrong – by evaluating and enabling the franchise’s defender – and how they created an environment that allowed the player to regress and the relationship to deteriorate. That said, Wentz is far from being a likeable figure. Since April 2016, the Eagles have overreacted in an attempt to support him. Wentz was not only the centerpiece of the organization – he was also the impetus for many of his decisions.

The Bellows nugget is interesting, as the only two places where he carries any value would be with the Eagles, where there is a real statue of him outside the stadium, and with the Colts, where he met with his former offensive coordinator of his successful days for Eagles, Indy coach Frank Reich.

However, given what we know about Colts’ general manager, Chris Ballard, and how prudently he operates, Indianapolis is highly unlikely to yield at such a high price – and possibly ridiculous for the Eagles now. Whereas Wentz hasn’t been very productive for about three seasons now and, more recently, he was downright awful in 2020 – with some big pay cap hits popping up and questions about his cohabitation.

This is a significant reversal for Brandt, who said it wouldn’t, and sometimes even laughed at the idea of the Eagles negotiating with Wentz over the $ 33.8 million in dead money he would leave behind. But if Brandt now thinks this is going to happen, that financial hurdle is obviously not going to stop the Eagles from ending the deal.

A team of rebuilding Cowboys can still dominate NFC East – Blogging The Boys
The only way to describe the Philadelphia Eagles’ QB situation is that it is a hot mess. Carson Wentz was replaced by Doug Pederson in favor of newcomer Jalen Hurts. His reward for the move was to be fired, although it was necessary due to Wentz’s collapse last season. Now, new coach Nick Sirianni has been tasked with resuming Wentz’s career. This is complicated by the account of Wentz’s desire to be negotiated, a difficult task with his big contract. There are also some doubts about the success of a rehabilitation in any case, and Hurts seems to be a year or more from being really ready. This is especially true if he is hiring second team representatives in preparation for the season, which appears to be the plan.

As a result of the Eagles Fan Cutouts’ unprecedented success this season, the team announced that more than $ 260,000 in net revenue has been raised for the Eagles Autism Foundation.

Justin Jefferson Jobbed: Don’t OROY for record receiver – Daily Norseman
Apparently, setting up one of the biggest rookie seasons in NFL history as a wide receiver was not enough for people who voted for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. At the NFL honor ceremony tonight, it was announced that the Offensive Rookie of the Year award was not for Justin Jefferson, the Minnesota Vikings’ wide receiver, but for Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Jefferson, as we know, set the Super Bowl era record for receiving yards in a season up to 1,400 yards, although he was the fifth receiver taken in the 2020 NFL Draft and was tasked with replacing another excellent receiver in Stefon Diggs. That 1,400 yard season is the highest for any unnamed Vikings member in any season, and was the NFL’s fourth highest total this year. It is not the fourth best among newbies. Fourth largest among all.

SB Nation Reacts: The best Super Bowl party food is … – Fake Teams
It’s Super Bowl week, and although things are different this year and fans can’t watch the games together, that doesn’t mean that the best parts of the Super Bowl can’t be enjoyed. And, for the best part, of course I’m talking about food and gambling! According to the most recent SB Nation Reacts survey, there is clearly a favorite food on Super Bowl Sunday. More than a third of fans said their favorite Super Bowl food is chicken wings. This is followed by 18% who chose pizza, 12% who chose fries and sauce and 11% who wanted nachos.

After 256 regular season games and three weeks of postseason football, we finally made it to the Super Bowl. On Sunday night, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl 55 in Tampa, Florida, at Raymond James Stadium. These two teams clashed in Week 12 of the season, where the Chiefs won 27-24. If that game was any indication of what we might see on Sunday night, then we should be prepared for a fun Super Bowl. While there is a lot going on on the field, there will also be a lot of action going on on the betting lines. Over the past two weeks, sports fans and punters have been betting money on who will win the game, several innocuous prop bets such as heads or tails or player props. Let’s take a look at some props that you need to put on your radar as the game approaches. All odds are courtesy of the DraftKings Sportsbook and the numbers are changing in the remaining 24 hours until the start of the game.

Our NFL experts choose Chiefs vs. Bucs at the Super Bowl LV – SB Nation
Credit where it’s due: RJ Ochoa and Brandon Lee Gowton, both choosing Tampa Bay, had two of the best records among the panel. In the end, this was one of the best seasons of recent memory in the field. There were many surprises, extraordinary performances and teams finally overcoming the obstacle, proving that they can be candidates. There will be a major transition in the league’s advancement, especially with Drew Brees and Philip Rivers announcing their retirements, but 2020 has proven that the NFL has a lot to offer in the future of what the coming years will be fascinating.
