Vick will remain an Eagle

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick signed his franchise tender Wednesday, the team announced, confirming a Philadelphia Inquirer report.

Vick received an exclusive-rights tender, meaning he will be paid the average of the top five highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL. The amount he's paid, which a league source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora will be slightly more than $16 million, also could depend on whether Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning signs his franchise tender (worth $23 million) or works out a long-term contract.

Vick's signing of the one-year deal was little more than a formality, as he and the Eagles both said in recent weeks that they'd like to continue their association after the quarterback's Pro Bowl season.

Thought this was interesting. After they got whipped in the playoffs by Green Bay, I'd heard some rumblings from some Philly fans that there was some disappointment in how he ended the season.

Guess there was nothing to that.

Rumblings from fans do not equal what the FO and staff think about a player.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
