According to this article, Barrow, Gardner & Morton could all be axed on Wed., freeing up nearly $4.5M in cap space.

Nothing unexpected. I wish we had traded Gardner for something...even a 5th round pick.

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-31-2005, 09:35 AM

Awh. If Ramseyfan is a Master Debater, I want to be a Cunning Linguist.

Schneed10 · 05-31-2005, 09:35 AM

Good. Peace out, cub scouts. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-31-2005, 09:37 AM

Yup. At least that will give us money to sign the rooks.

memphisskin · 05-31-2005, 11:57 AM

Nothing too surprising there, although I wonder if Barrow is going to re-sign for less money? If he can get healthy, which I understand is a mighty big if...

Red Robert · 05-31-2005, 12:18 PM

Yeah, not too much of a shock here. I wonder if we will see any suprises?
Hall, Brunell or anyone else?

Cutting Hall would save a little cap money, so I guess that's possible. But I doubt they'd do that, they'll probably want to let him and Chandler fight it out through camp. Chandler kicked well for us at the end of last season, but his career has been rough otherwise. I doubt they'd want to rely on him.

As for cutting Brunell, we can't yet. His salary cap situation is still too prohibitive. After June 1, 2006 might make more sense, though.

Schneed10 · 05-31-2005, 12:35 PM

Cutting Cory Raymer is very possible, he'd save us a little cash.

mooby · 05-31-2005, 12:46 PM

that 4.5 mil were expected to get after we cut those guys is gonna be used to sign the rookies

MTK · 05-31-2005, 01:01 PM

I have a feeling Philly will snatch up Gardner once he's released.

Maybe Morton will go back to NY?

dirtbag2112 · 05-31-2005, 01:06 PM

Thats a good fit Matty....Gardner cant catch and McNabb cant throw a spiral.
I'm sick of hearing how good a QB McNabb is. As far as the NFC goes Daunte Culpepper blows him away.

Drift Reality · 05-31-2005, 01:38 PM

McNabb is a pimp guys - he is a team leader. I like the way he has handled the entire TO situation.

Also, I get scared every time he drops back against the Skins.

He may have some accuracy problems, but he is a winner.

dirtbag2112 · 05-31-2005, 01:53 PM

I agree but I wasnt refering to his personality. I think any QB in his situation regarding TO would have done the same thing. The league and all of it's fans realizes that his contract demands are a joke. Philly obviously has been to the past 4 NFC titles but not because of Donovan. Philly's defense is excellent. While they were middle of the pack in total yards allowed last year, I think they were top 5 in scoring defense. Thats what really matters.

MTK · 05-31-2005, 02:08 PM

I've followed McNabb since his SU days so even though he's a rival, I'm still a fan.

I'm getting tired of people saying how overrated he is. He took his game to another level last year, his numbers were through the roof. He also took care of his accuracy problems hitting on 64%. Only 8 ints during the regular season, that's sick.
