Rumor is that we're going to go after Mike Mitchell to play FS.
Riley Cooper is expected to sign a 3/4 year deal to stay in Philly and they want to offer Maclin a 1-year deal to keep him too.
I bet Maclin could get a longer deal elsewhere, will be interesting to see if he accepts.

anyone who only wants to keep rak at 6mill or less per year doesn't actually want to keep him. he's going to get money.

Yes and anyone that wants to give him 10 million per year can have him.

... and who are you replacing him with? Rob Jackson? I like the guy, but he also wants starter money and if you think he approaches skillset or brings to the team what Rak does ... well someone cue the Tinkerbell meme. He may come cheaper, but not dirt cheap AND there is the old adage "you get what you pay for." You want a cheap fix for a top 10 OLB - that's what you get.
But hey, let's let Riley go 'cause (maybe) he wants a little more than market. Let's let Rak go b/c he wants market price.
Replacing 3/4's of our LB'ers? Priceless.

Rather overpay Rak than Riley by a good mile

This is a 25-30 rank defense, we need alot of players. There are alot of upgrades in free agency that aren't big names. Spend alot of cap money to resign our own, and where does that get us? Need to bring in guys to compete, and not overpay guys that aren't making an impact.

Keim talking about Jackson in DC. I certainly think we are interested, looks like DJ already has a meeting set up with a team today.

Sadly the Eagles are smart in taking care of their own. I hope that we follow suit with Rak and Riley.
