2024 Free agency and draft thread

Low risk, high reward signing.

He wasn't really himself even before the Achilles injury. That previous knee injury knocked him down a peg.

Interesting. A strong addition to an already stellar Jets D.

The Eagles traded Reddick to the Jets.

For a 3rd rounder. That could turn into a 2nd rounder.

 

[DJ]

The Jets needed him after losing Huff to FA.

TO THE EAGLES. LOL.

The Jets lost some guys off that defense to FA.

I mean the one thing is Burns is about 5-6 years younger... so there's more upside and Clowney is probably on the downside of his career.

That said, I don't know why the Giants wanted Burns to begin with because they're prob. not going to be relevant for another 2-3 years unless they just strike gold in the draft. In my post above I graded it more favorably for the Panthers because it's obvious Burns was just gonna leave anyway, at least they got SOMETHING for him lol... but it could've more last year (prob. a 1st and future 2nd).

There's a reason Clowney has gone from #1 overall pick to now being on his 6th team. He has never lived up to his potential and he's just a mercenary at this point. There are guys that are motivated by the next contract more than the will to win. I think he is one of them. So maybe that will work in the Panthers favor.

2026 3rd. Pretty cheap.

Too cheap for me. That’s the same compensation they would have gotten if he played 2024 for Philly then walked in the off season.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

I mean it's a pretty equal move for both teams.

The Eagles still have some time to make a push. The Jets are basically all in right now... Reddick is probably better than Huff... but the Eagles will have the better long term answer...

A 3rd rounder in 2026 might matter then, but as of now especially if you're all in it's a 5th rounder value.... obviously teams would always prefer to win now vs. later...

Whatever. It's the definition of a B grade "Hey good job, but come back to me when we have something relevant to talk about" trade.

Why doesn't this twitter fool say it's for a 2026 pick?

No, that comp pick would be about a half round lower than the Jets pick.

It isn't guaranteed either, should something happen to Reddick with injury, or if the Eagles made a big signing next offseason.

Because he's a fool... obviously... and probably just wants more click bait attention for his dumbass Twitter.

Nah, it will be a 2026 3rd rounder they get.

 

[DJ]

Dallas and Zeke are mutually interested in a reunion.

Jerry: "The Cowboys are all in!!!"

 

[eaglesnut]

Nah, it will be a 2026 3rd rounder they get.

Yeah a pick around 75 instead of 95.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yeah a pick around 75 instead of 95.

2 drafts from now.

 

[eaglesnut]

2 drafts from now.

That's when you would get a comp pick with a year left on a guy's contract.

Exactly. And they’re taking a cap hit for his dead cap this year. Just dumb to not have him playing for the Eagles this year relative to what they got back.

Are they taking a cap hit?
