Out of all the destinations, I think this was the best for him. A run-first team, with receiving talent. NFC South is going to be interesting this season.

Well, not great, but certainly an improvement over last years' signing, Gates, who we knew sucked at the time we signed him (or at least everyone not named Ron did) and Larsen. He is average (which is Ok - can't get stars everywhere).

Armstrong signing was good now hopefully we can get Hunter to pair with him.

So a pro bowler in 2022 who has only allowed like 4 sacks in his career and is 26 isnt a great signing?

I meant not great in that he has an average ranking among starters (PFF ranks him 14 at center). My point is we can't target the best at every position, so the signing was a good one (heck maybe even great one), as he is most definitely a massive upgrade.

Antonio Gibson is going to New England per @NickiJhabvala

Saquon Barkley to the Eagles

[EdmundDorf]

Wow

Adam Schefter

Former Giants RB Saquon Barkley reached agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million contract that could be worth up to $46.75M and includes $26M fully guaranteed at signing, per sources.

Barkley now beats the franchise tag number and has a maximum average-per-year salary of $15.833M, which would be second highest for a RB in NFL History.

Eagles going nuts

I don't get how the Eagles always have cap space despite spending a lot each year...

They kick a lot of guaranteed money to later years.

I do feel that the Iggles are in a bit of desperation mode and going all out in acquiring all of these FAs.

Because the Hurts and AJ Brown figures haven't caught up with them yet. They are still manageable but in a couple years it will balloon to something they can't manage.

Their roster is relatively cheap all things considered. Jason Kelce retiring is going to help them with the cap as well.

They don't have any DBs or LBs to speak of (judging by last year)
