Definitely want Kelce back next year. Playing too well to retire. Hopefully at least (being selfish)! If Brooks gets back this year, is he automatically re-inserted?

With Kelce still playing at the top of his game, it makes you wonder what the makeup will be next year.
Eagles actually might in the position to trade one of the guys that are hurt now or release Brooks. Driscoll is playing outstanding as well. I think Kelce might keep on playing if healthy and the Eagles keep assending...he is a year or 2 away from serious HOF consideration.

DE, CB and LB, if needed, they could go OG in the teens.

The 2nd rd, it's either LB or OG, whichever they don't get with the Colts pick or their's.
What about TJ Edwards and Davion Taylor?

The Eagles need to trade Brooks and Fletcher Cox.

For those holding out hope for the Eagles to somehow win the division. What needs to happen is pretty simple

Eagles win out
Cowboys lose 1 of the next 4

If the Cowboys win the next 4, they would clinch the division no matter what the Eagles do. Eagles would lose the tiebreaker (strength of victory) even if the Cowboys then lost to the Cards prior to losing to the Eagles

Problem is, besides the unlikeliness of the Eagles winning out, is that the Cowboys next 4 are the Saints, Giants & WFT 2x

Well, you could be right and still be an a**hole '' ;)

I would hate to trade Brooks because when healthy he is elite. Problem is the never ending injuries

Cap number to large for a player who is always injured.

Listening to all the polarizing comments about Jalen Hurts is very concerning and typically one sided IMO. Now I understand things happen during a season. I firmly believe play calling is a huge factor for a QB and their development and the play of the O line. That being said, it CAN NOT be understated how much Jalen has been hurt by penalties and drops. This didn't just start recently...the Watkins drop, the Ward drop and of course the 2 Reagor drops. Think back to earlier in the season when penalties, drops and truly idiot play calling affected Hurts' overall number and ultimately the performance of the team.

Now it could be said, that this happens to every QB, but I personally can not remember this many high profile drops that should have been TDs or this many TDs recalled due to penalties.

There are 2 things IMO that Jalen must improve on...field vision and quicker processing. I think he misses some opportunities due to being a half second late on getting the throw out. His deep ball needs to improve a bit too, but that comes with time and cohesion with the receivers.

It is so much better for this franchise that we allow Jalen to develop and remember the really good things that he does. Imagine how much better he can be next year, especially if Howie gives him that veteran receiver that this team is severely missing.
