whats to revamp? guys were just injured.


we'll be okay.


only position I'd probably 'revamp' is Center. I'd let Shatley take over for the oft-injured, over-paid Linder

Your starting Right Guard is a free agent, and your Right Tackle is running on fumes.  The right side of that line is going to require attention.  You also need to look at your LT situation and determine if Robinson can rebound from the injury AND his less than stellar play prior to the injury.    The line is more suspect than you think.

I have actually herd a few things about the scenario where even if Kyler doesn't declare his intention for the NFL, you could still use a pick on him and have rights to him so if he doesn't go the MLB route, your team will have first shot at him. I think that would be a hell of a draft by its self if something like this happens.

If this team drafts Grier, we'll be looking for a new QB in a year or two.  He's way too much of a project for this team.  Patience is one thing.  This would push that to the extreme.

Foles in the regular season isn't terribly magical, and definitely not worth what he may anticipate in free agency.  Regardless, the team still needs to bring in a veteran QB to hold the position until the rookie is developed and ready to play.  We can't afford to ruin a rookie by rushing him into action no matter how much the franchise needs it's own guy.

I just want us to find out guy and go get him whatever it takes get your QB jags.

I would take Lock over Grier.  Huge arm, decent athleticism, just needs to develop his game a bit.

It would be a tough decision but if Foles leads them to another Super Bowl how can he not be their QB going forward?  I think they’d have to strongly consider trading Wentz for a king’s ransom in that scenario.

How?  If he's costing the team $20 million as a backup, he becomes expendable.  I don't think they'd trade the guy they're expecting to be their long-term solution at QB and stick with a guy who is a playoff hero, but mediocre otherwise.

Your statement means he is NOT a free agent. He's under contract.

Philly has to decide if they're exercising the option or not within a week of the Super Bowl concluding.  If they opt to retain him, they're paying their backup QB $20 million.  Nobody expects them to exercise that option, at which point he immediately becaomes a free agent.  It's not automatic, but it seems pretty likely that's going to happen.  My concern with Foles is that he's going to be expecting to get paid like a starter.  This team won't put the resources into paying him that kind of money.  They might as well just stick with Bortles if that's the case.  

BTW, I'm not advocating retaining Bortles.  I think that ship has sailed.  The team is going to need to find a veteran placeholder for next year.  I expect to see both Bortles and Kessler playing elsewhere.
