Brandan Graham staying with the Eagles

If someone would have told me how happy I would be with this move same time last year I would have been doubtful.

So Graham, Barwin, Alonso & Kendricks as our starting LB corps?

Side note, actually saw hello to Kendricks over the weekend when I saw him in Sydney on the ferry. Pretty nice guy

Worst off season ever

So Willis, Gore and Smith gone, losing Culliver and Cox, Kap and Vernon on the block.

I guess they've decided that our window was closing and time to go into rebuild mode

Back to the cellar for a while!

Yeah this is an all time gut punch for SF
knocking on the door for 3-4 years straight and not look to be going back to scratch.

Team looking to emulate success from 20+ years ago, fresh coach, team rebuilding after falling short again. No wonder Hayne signed with the Niners, seems very familiar.

No biggie. I liked the fit and the contract but he's not a game changer. We'll find another RB to fill that role either in FA or in the draft.

If I'm Chip I go after C.J. Spiller or someone like that and then go after a RB in the draft.

Maybe even someone like Ryan Mathews would be a cheap alternative and would suit Chip especially if Chip wants to utilise the Zone blocking/power run scheme which is what was said when they signed Gore.

I dont think Spiller is a good fit, he turfed Shady because he dances too much, he wanted Gore because he's a north south runner. CJ is like Shady in that he is always trying to bounce it outside.

I think Matthews is more likely for scheme fit but also he cant stay healthy. The name IMO to watch here is Justin Forsett.

Free agent RB Frank Gore signed a 4 year deal w/ the Indianapolis Colts worth $35 million. $20 mil guaranteed. The Eagles miss on another FA

That'll explain the cold feet :lol:

3 years 15 mil, with 7.5 guaranteed v 4 years 35mil, with 20 guaranteed

Nobody listens to me smh :(

;-)

I will in future.

as for the Parnell going to the Jags it could be a good signing. While not in the class of Doug Free who re-signed with the Cowboys, Parnell is still a quality tackle.
