Official 2025 NFL Off Season Discussion!!!

I'm looking a the overall picture but we're talking about saquon and not the other RB's that you mentioned. Saquon set the standard that if a RB can achieve the same thing, they can too get that big contract with RB's being happy for saquon getting that big contract and asked him question of how can they be next to get that big contract. Giants fumble the ball, you don't let a player like saquon go to think these wide receivers will pan out investing all that money on them. If you check the list, there's but so many good wide receivers out while there is just as many bad ones too.

Saquon did not set the standard. His performance is still an anomaly among RBs. If you saw other RBs having as significant as an impact then yes you'd have a point. He earned his contract in every degree but to say he reset the market for all RBs is not being realistic when there are only 2 or maybe 3 other RBs across the entire league who are even remotely in the same class.

There hasn't been no RB that got paid like what saquon has now, howie never gave no RB a big contract like he did for saquon along with the contract he signed to join the eagles at the time.

Yes, I agree there's only like 2 or 3 top RB's in the league that could get this same contract like saquon.

But there's other RB's who want to be the next up to get the same contract like saquon.

There’s probably more good wrs than there are rbs.. the 3 rbs that I literally called b4 the season started did their thing barkley, Henry, and jacobs… cook on the bills also did his thing… the nfl made the rb salary low not the teams.. they literally posted up their pay rates and made the qb the highest paid, followed by the wr, tight end, than rb..that was the nfl

In order for those contracts to be more commonplace, more RBs need to show and prove their impacts are as significant with maximum availability on the field. Too many GMs and owners have been scared off by the McCaffery and Todd Gurley type contracts that get derailed by injuries.

I only see Bijan getting what Barkley got because they have similar skill sets.

Maybe Gibbs too, but that’s about it lol

I agree. Understandable.

The salary cap keeps getting bigger each yr which makes it easier for pay increases.. this yr is like 25 million more than last yr..the yr b4 grew by like 22 million

Yup, but like bro said, they gotta stay healthy and play enough games to get that contract like what saquon got.

Owners and Gm's are scared to invest all that money in a RB unless that RB can prove otherwise that's he's worthy of that contract along with winning the superbowl as well.

They keep trying to ship that guy out unfortunately

They keep trying to ship that guy out unfortunately

Which is crazy, because they knew and admitted that he was a project when they drafted him.

Yeah unfortunately for him seem like they trying to get rid of him no matter what.. his spot on the team ain’t even guaranteed for the beginning of the season.. if they do ship him out hopefully he find a new place that better fits him

 

[woodchuck]

The Eagles just traded Chauncey Gardner to the Texans.

The Eagles just traded Chauncey Gardner to the Texans.

I'm just gonna sit back and see what he's gonna do.

Russel Wilson to the Vikings almost make sense.. they probably don’t have to pay him a bunch of money.. they got the weapons.. he got the experience.. this might can work

Ohhh

They going with JJ who they drafted last year.

Letting Daniel and Sam go indicates they are confident in him and he is healthy.

Right, I'm not mad over these moves or the players the eagles lost.

I still believe in this team.
