It's hard to sell me on being serious about winning now when we seem hellbent on not putting any pressure on Bryce in the form of any real competition. Please sign someone with NFL tools and prove me wrong. I'd love to see it.

We are hell bent on going through the motions

You would think they would at least hedge their bet by bringing in a competent backup plan. It looks as if it's Young or bust going forward. May the football Gods have mercy on our souls.

bro, its not his ACL or Achilles or ankles or core tear. its his concussion history.....the one in which he already left football cause. 

its super risky when signing a player with a history of back, spine, brain injuries....

I love that he's a top pressure getter, I hope he's able to stay healthy.....that's the deal, huge risk.

You realize we were one of many NFL teams trying to get him signed, right? The Eagles, who know his medicals better than anyone, were desperately trying to resign him. Hope that helps ease your mind.

We lost starting LT, C, RB.  We have no starting safety or LBs.  We are missing #3 WR.  But we spent nearly all of our cap on severely injured EDGE and one of the worst back up QBs in the league.  You can polish that turd all you want but so far this free agency has been a disaster.

They wanted him at 21-22 million brother. Panthers dropped teppers phat wallet on the table for 30per along with 80 in guarantees. (they basically did what the pats did last year with Milton Williams) He did turn around iggles defensive and in only 8 games lead them in pressures. Brother you got to see the huge increase in risk with his history that includes one retirement...Hope he can have the same impact and remain healthy ....

I dont understand the logic at all. We drafted XL he didnt do well so we drafted Tet.

We drafted two edges last season, need more pressure so we sign a FA to a huge deal.

QB sucks, holds the team back...we double, triple, quadruple down. Actually go out and actively look for options that are worse than our current starter. 

No other explanation other than Tepper saying you cant get rid of Bryce or try to upgrade.

Lost a starting LT to injury. Tough break  

Lost a very replaceable starting C. 

We still have a starting RB and add back a 2nd round pick at the position this year. 

LB will obviously be addressed. We’re final three for Lloyd. No need to fret about this on Day 1 of FA. 

This top overall free agent EDGE was so “severely injured” that the Eagles, who had eyes on him for much of the year, wanted to resign him. 

Only turd that needs polishing is your perspective of your favorite team.

Ransom is SS… We need FS.  Moehrig is SS as well.  We have no free safety on our team.

We drafted 2 EDGE players early in draft last season and now signed another one for $120M in free agency.  With glaring holes all over the roster… Someone fuged up.
