Cooper signed! Maclin likely next!

Strike these two off your wishlist (which sounds kinda funny to say).

Things got a little better now that Cooper has signed a five-year, $25 million contract with $10 million in guarantees. Remember, most thought this guy should have been cut back in August when video surfaced of him dropping the n-word at a Kenny Chesney concert. It’s not tough to argue that if Maclin didn’t go down with an ACL that Cooper wouldn’t be getting this contract.
 
If Maclin was healthy, Cooper probably gets cut. The Eagles only kept Cooper because they had to. They had no one else who could start opposite Jackson. So, they dealt with the PR nightmare and locker room disaster, gritted their teeth and held on to him. Then, he jelled with Nick Foles and caught 47 balls for 835 yards and eight touchdowns. And those weren’t hollow numbers either; he made some very big plays.

 

 

 

 

In other news, the Eagles are still talking to Maclin about coming back, but a deal is not close according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer. There are hurdles to be cleared, but McLane still says that they should get a deal done before free agency hits.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
