KiLLaKyLe Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 That contract is very affordable for the Eagles. Wish the Giants would have offered something similiar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindgreed1 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I also read that it hinges on him passing a physical, as well. I know all deals do but there's a little more of a chance that a player like Phillips actually fails his. He already passed his physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steitzenhaus Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 We're up against the cap, Brown emerged as a viable option, and we're paying Rolle. Something had to give. At least we locked up Beatty who I'd say was a much bigger priority given our offensive line situation. I'd say good luck to Kenny but he's an Eagle so fuck em.

Nas Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Interesting fan comment on NJ.com Comment posted by TuckU, 3/19/2013 10:31 AM In reply to Kenny Phillips comes to the Eagles on the cheap Fresh Start?!? Does that mean sign with your hated rival, get no signing bonus or guaranteed money, let the Iggs milk you for every bit of info and then just before the season starts when your not 100% you get cut at not a penny spent by the iggs. Smooth move Kenny. Welcome to the official end of your career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindgreed1 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Interesting fan comment on NJ.com Although not very realistic IMO. The signing has nothing to do with milking KP for info. The Iggs have had the Giants number for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Although not very realistic IMO. The signing has nothing to do with milking KP for info. The Iggs have had the Giants number for some time now. Still, this year they are undeniably in rebuild mode. They might sneak a win out here and there in the East, but they are going to be battling the Cowboys for the basement. But I agree, I read Nate Allen is set to fight him for a starting job, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be no parade down Broadstreet this year. On that we can agree, but i'm optomistic about this season and not just in a homerific way. Yes we're rebuilding, but that doesn't mean we'll be battling the cowballs for the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman329 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Jenny Vrentas @JennyVrentas RT: @MikeGarafolo: Kenny Phillips' deal with the Eagles: 1 year, $1.85m; up to another $1m in incentives. And Stevie Brown signed his second round tender that will pay him $2.02 this season. Giants had to know KP's asking price and they had to know the exact value of Brown's tender, so either someone (Jerry/Tom) made the calculated decision that they'd rather have Brown for more $$ than KP for less OR maybe KP just wanted out. Hard to imagine the latter but you never know what's going on internally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good deal for my Iggs. If he rides the pine he won't see shit for money. If he produces he can make (a little) over a mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll be better than they were this year with the Dream Team and will obviously ultimately be in a better position come next year. They are an organization that knows what they are doing---normally---I think the Redskins years of FA pandemonium rubbed off on them wrong that one year.

Well, the biggest difference I see in who we picked up in FA as opposed to the Reid era is size. We're signing bigger FA's than in years past and like coach Kelly says "big guys beat up little guys."

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 He signed for one year because the Eagles are taking a flyer on him due to injuries, I don't get how you guys are that upset at this. This...I yawned at Steve Smith...and I double yawn at this one...he was mostly injured here...what is going to be so different in Eagles land? Is his fragile self going to be hit or hit others any less...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osi724dasack Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I like the theory, bigger, faster, and more athletic is the key in FA. I agree. But KP fits that description to a T.
