This blows
I don't know if the Eagles could give Pollard what he would want as far as top RB money. Not to mention Eagles have a bad history of signing former Cowboy players.Vegas Eagle Fan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 5:16 am I know it's a little early, but I wouldn't mind if the Eagles tried to sign Tony Pollard who will be a FA after the 2022 season. Sanders is a FA as well, so the Eagles may elect to keep him if he wants to stay, but I think Pollard is the better back and has less wear and tear on him. I also, think Pollard would like to go to a team where he will no longer be in Zeke's shadow. Hell, I wouldn't mind having both Sanders and Pollard.
Just don't give big money to a RB. MANY other places we NEED to spend.Vegas Eagle Fan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 5:16 am I know it's a little early, but I wouldn't mind if the Eagles tried to sign Tony Pollard who will be a FA after the 2022 season.

I think using the Saints 1st round pick for a RB would be a waste. Mainly because only a few pan out as true studs. Also, I think the Eagles under utilize Sanders because they tend to be pass happy and rely on Hurts. Most running QBs eventually get injured. Would rather see the RB take those carries and keep Hurts safe, only using his running when needed.

Here's our list of upcoming UFAs (by their salary this season, per Sportrac)
Cox, Quinn, BG, Hargrave, Kelce, Bradberry, Seumalo, Dillard, White, Edwards, Suh, Joseph, Boston Scott, Pascal, Sanders, Lovato, CJGJ, Opeta, Tyree Jackson, Minshew, Epps
This doesn't include Hurts who will be eligible for (and should get) his big contract.
If it's a top 10 pick there's no way in Hell the Eagles would use it on a RB. I doubt they'd even consider with their pick towards the end of the 1st.Vegas Eagle Fan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 5:54 pmI think using the Saints 1st round pick for a RB would be a waste.

Don't get me wrong. I want a DE, or CB in the first round. My point is if that explosive can't miss RB is there, the Eagles might take a shot.
