and Philly won 6 in 2024 on the way to a Super Bowl - what is your point? Luck obviously always is an extremely important part of any pro sports (injuries, weather, travel, schedule, etc.)

We went 8-9... I'll leave it at that cause this really isn't the thread for it. We signed a really injured guy for a lot of money. Continue on Morgan and Tepper...

Has any other FA hit 100 million??

ugh, I don't believe so...

What do you think Alec Pierce got?

[HeelsPanthersCanes]

I was telling everyone this team would HAVE to overpay for anyone worthwhile because of who our franchise is and where we are located. 

Would've rather seen this position addressed in the draft for pennies on the dollar.  But I guess time will tell.

Oweh just signed a similar 4 year $100 million (68 guaranteed) again I would always look at the guaranteed, but yes another edge just signed something similar and Oweh isn't great against the run.

can't believe we got it done but Dan was probably pissed about Milton last year

to be clear, this is an A++++++signing for us

draft is very middling in terms of edge talent IMO

two of the tops edges have historically short arms

Agree.  It's a crap shoot either way. 

Just a lot less stressful / impactful when you're not betting $120 million on the dice roll.

He was 97th in run defense snaps for edges with  (134).

So that’s 25 mill per for essentially a pure pass rusher. Jesse Minter said the key to unlocking Oweh in La was giving him freedom as a pass rusher. I knew right there we weren’t signing him. Evero gives no freedom

I did more digging-

The Achilles happened at met life and acl was due to teammate

respectfully i disagree

a draft pick is a dice roll

Phillips is a known excellent pash rusher who can defend the run and is only 26. chances like this happen so rarely

ESPN's projection for Phillips:

Somebody was WAY off. Not sure if it was this writer for ESPN or Dan Morgan.
