Murray 5/42 from the Eagles. o_O
 
Bowe is interesting. He didnt have that bad of a season. A salary dump?
 
Now that's interesting. Why? He's 33 but was just voted to consecutive pro-bowls. Does he fit out blocking scheme? Cap hit is 6.5 for Philly, would it also be 6.5 to his new team or would some money be left behind in Philly?

Even at 33 I have to imagine he'd upgrade either spot for us and would come cheap in draft pick compensation.

$5.5m would carry over this year. $1m is from a signing bonus.
 
I would rather Stevie Johnson over Bowe.

Declining player with big money deal. I'd use him as a TE more than a WR at this point in his career. He's not a separation guy. He's a body position and fight for the ball guy.
 
Chip is very entertaining. I can kind of see what he wants. Big, strong, fast, and bland. McCourty was probably his wet dream lol.
 
Brees ending his career on a team in rebuilding mode is kind of lame.

Brady have been through a lot of rebuildings and always kept this team competitive. Brees is a very good QB and he's had a few years ago a window of greatness but overall I think he's very average playing on the road and in open stadiums, I can't put him in the same league as Brady, Rodgers and Manning being so awful in these conditions. Also his division is a joke, he should make the playoffs every single year without excuses. The Saints are most likely not going to the SB soon and his contract eats a lot of cap space, I would think about a trade since they are in fact rebuilding like you said.

I'd flip a 5th or 6th for a 2 year rental and a 7th. Still draft Marpet in the 3rd and let him learn/rotate with the other G position.
 
I am intrigued by a big receiver like Bowe. We haven't really had one in his mold that was actually good. Closest thing I would say was maybe Doug Gabriel and he sucked.
 
I can see Bowe or Harvin coming here if one agrees to a low money deal.

Not a shot Stevie Johnson is signed. You can't talk about bombing Foxboro and expect to be a Pat. No shot.

As for RB, Bush seems like a perfect fit. Would bet he signs here. If that all falls through, Pierre Thomas isn't a bad alternative.

CB is a mystery at this point. Culliver wouldn't be bad if he's not expensive. Keenan Lewis trade with NO would be perfect though. He wants out and they're in fire sale mode.

Thankfully the FA market is lush with DTs. Knighton would be excellent, but with weight concerns and his asking price, not sure he signs here. Fairley seems like a fit and pairing him with a resigned Wilfork and Branch would be amazing.
 
I like what the Chiefs are doing so far this offseason. If their QB was less Alex Smith-y they would really be a force.

They are 1-2 players away from being my favorite to win in that division.
 
I would send the Eagles a 4th for Mathis.

Evan Mathis? He's the best guard in the league. Why would Chip Kelly give him away? I think he'll cost too much. But for a 4th, in a heartbeat.
