1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,560 Hello and welcome back to the Philanatic Pod where we talk everything and all Philadelphia 2 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:14,600 sports and general sports news that is happening. 3 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,520 So I just posted a podcast on Saturday but there have been some big time events that 4 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:25,280 have gone like huge time, huge things that have gone down with the Philadelphia Eagles 5 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,920 and just NFL free agency in general. 6 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,880 The NFL free agency tampering period started yesterday at 12 o'clock and boy oh boy since 7 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,360 then have there been some huge major signings for all teams and especially the Philadelphia 8 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,360 Eagles. 9 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,920 But before we get to that let's start with some sixers. 10 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,320 As I talked about in my last podcast they played a game last night against the New York 11 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,520 Knicks or was it no it was Sunday. 12 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:59,520 Yeah I believe it was Sunday against the New York Knicks where guess what the final score 13 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,680 was like usually in NBA game final scores are like 110 to like 106 or something like 14 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,840 that. 15 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:15,960 But this in particular game was the lowest scoring game since 2016 and the score to that 16 00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:21,280 game was 79 to 73. 17 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:27,760 Really just like outrageous like that's like this horrible round. 18 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,760 But like I said they have a game tonight 730 against Knicks. 19 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,620 Looking forward to that game we took like I said I just wanted to split with the Knicks. 20 00:01:38,620 --> 00:01:43,880 So if we win this game I will be beyond excitement beyond excited. 21 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:50,040 But what you guys are here for what the main idea of this podcast is the Philadelphia Eagles 22 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,600 and NFL free agency. 23 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,960 So let's just hop right before we get to the Eagles let's just talk about the big signings 24 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,400 that happened yesterday. 25 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:05,160 The biggest signing yesterday of the biggest money was Kurt Cousins is leaving Minnesota 26 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:18,920 and is going to the Atlanta Foutkins on a four year deal for 105 million I believe. 27 00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:28,120 Yeah that that is just wild like so much money for a dude who's getting older for four years 28 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,240 like I don't know how Kirk Cousins old how old he is now like for an old regressing quarterback 29 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,480 like I don't know like 100 million 100 plus million dollars for four years I don't know 30 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:46,800 like show the Falcons needed a quarterback like I guess they just like Kirk Cousins is 31 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,040 a great quarterback. 32 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,080 He was he was injured last year he making his return this year. 33 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,560 I'm excited I'm excited to see what Kurt Cousins does bring but it's just a lot of money just 34 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,600 a lot of money for an old guy. 35 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,720 Hopefully he can bring the Falcons to a playoff playoff appearance but they haven't been that 36 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,440 great last couple years they just need some more pieces. 37 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:17,640 But yeah so that was the biggest signing of yesterday some other like biggest money. 38 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:28,120 Jha of the Packers released Aaron Jones which he has had some injury troubles but he was 39 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:34,160 really make he was really doing well in the end of like towards postseason he was really 40 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:43,360 performing well but like they just can't take the risk on having them injured next year. 41 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,240 So yeah so it was a big it was a really big free agency so far for running backs like 42 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:59,440 Deandre Swift signed for the Bears for three years don't know all the don't know all the 43 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:07,440 money like don't know what the money contract was but yeah he signed with the Bears. 44 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,440 A big trade that happened yesterday was the defensive end for the Panthers. 45 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:18,440 Brian Burns was traded to the New York Giants in exchange for a 2024 second round pick and 46 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:26,040 a 2025 fifth round pick which I think is a really really bad deal like for the Panthers. 47 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,840 Brian Burns is young Deandre he who has a bunch of potential to give him up for a second 48 00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:35,440 round and a 2025 fifth round. 49 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,520 Like sure the Panthers aren't a very great team and I'm sure they're looking to rebuild 50 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,320 within the next couple years but you're not going to be you're not going to get there 51 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:50,080 with trading a young defensive end who's pretty good for a 2024 second and a 2025 fifth. 52 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,480 That's just not going to get you anywhere. 53 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:58,800 I'm sorry like I really really don't like that deal. 54 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,240 Let's just get let's just get to the Eagles like I know I'm keeping y'all like let's just 55 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,440 get to the Eagles. 56 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,360 So the biggest signing for the Eagles yesterday was drumroll. 57 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:16,840 Say come Barkley say come Barkley from the New York Giants for three years 37 million 58 00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:26,120 dollar contract 26 million guaranteed blows your mind like I was shocked like there were 59 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,960 rumors that say one was going to sign with the Eagles but I was shocked that he actually 60 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,080 signed with the Eagles. 61 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,720 I did not expect it. 62 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,640 The choice he said that or someone said that he was picking between the Bears Texans and 63 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,200 the Eagles. 64 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,520 So I mean out of those three teams the Eagles are the best team but the Texans are promising 65 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,080 any but like say come Barkley. 66 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,800 I still just I'm not processing it very well like that's a come Barkley is a Philadelphia 67 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,040 Eagle. 68 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,440 The only downside to this deal that people were talking about is that say come Barkley 69 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,960 does have injury troubles. 70 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,760 He is getting to the end of his career like he's getting older. 71 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,180 Running backs don't usually last that long. 72 00:06:07,180 --> 00:06:16,800 So taking in a pretty decently like old for running back yeah running back like in like 73 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,240 20 set 20 he's 27. 74 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,960 But like I said they don't running us don't last that long and especially with Seguin 75 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,440 being injured very very like it's almost a pattern almost. 76 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,280 I believe he was taken to the 2018 draft. 77 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:32,280 I'm not sure. 78 00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:36,440 So he's been in the league for a little he is a vet. 79 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,120 Two Pro Bowls. 80 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,840 But I'm very I'm very happy about that signing. 81 00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:45,620 I think that was huge signing for the Eagles. 82 00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:52,400 Another massive deal for the Eagles was Bryce Huff defensive end from the Jets. 83 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,120 So I guess like Fletcher Cox retiring. 84 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,300 I'm sure you guys heard that like another that's like a huge pillar lost two huge pillars 85 00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:08,080 lost for this team between Kelsey and now Fletcher Cox like these these veterans who 86 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,200 are very good for this team who are great in the locker room. 87 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,200 Now Fletcher is gone Jason's gone. 88 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,280 So bringing in like a defensive guy. 89 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,360 He like he's not the tackle like Fletcher was but bringing in the D end like to help 90 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,600 that D line out. 91 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,480 I think that's a great deal. 92 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:34,040 He's 25 years old and it was a three year contract for 51 million. 93 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,520 That is yeah that's a huge deal. 94 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,480 But like another thing is like like Ed rushers like Hassan Reddick and Joshua have both 95 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,440 been like subject of trade conversations. 96 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,960 So with Huff coming aboard like there appears to be a good chance one of those players could 97 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,480 be on the move. 98 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:59,040 So it makes sense that like I would assume Hassan Reddick is going to leave because like 99 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,760 out of the out of the both of them I would prefer Hassan Reddick to leave. 100 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:08,040 He's getting up there in age and I just like Joshua man. 101 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,520 But getting a D end does probably mean that one of them is leaving. 102 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,300 They I'm sure the Eagles have already gotten offers for these guys. 103 00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:31,440 So yeah another we just signed today Devonte Parker one year dear one year deal. 104 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,960 So bring in a receiver like that. 105 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,240 We already have a J Brown Devonte Smith Alameda Zakiya is a quest walkings like especially 106 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,920 Alameda Zakiya and quest walkings to young receivers. 107 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,720 But then you bring in Devonte Parker who's like a vet receiver and he could help these 108 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,800 guys like Alameda and quest like develop into becoming that a great like future number two 109 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,040 receiver a number three receiver. 110 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,000 But yeah I'm not mad about the deal. 111 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,920 I feel I don't feel like there's anything bad. 112 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,040 The only thing is he has dealt with a number of injuries and his recent scissors in his 113 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:12,440 recent seasons and his like production has dropped off since a career injury in 2019. 114 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,160 But yeah I'm not I don't hate the deal. 115 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,600 I don't know why you would hate the deal. 116 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:23,440 Yeah I'm happy like having him hopefully develop Alameda and quest into a future two maybe 117 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,000 why receiver one receivers. 118 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,120 Yeah it's a great deal. 119 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:34,240 I believe I talked about the brand Graham extension on my last podcast. 120 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,840 We signed Zach a bond linebacker from the New Orleans Saints. 121 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:51,840 Zach Bonest 27 so yeah we don't have great linebackers so starting a new recently young 122 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,840 from from the Saints like sure we signed him to a one year game. 123 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:02,560 I mean sorry not one year game one year deal. 124 00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:08,720 He has had limited production over four seasons in New Orleans totally 88 tackles over 62 125 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:17,760 games which included 14 starts so not bad just bringing in like a decently older guy. 126 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,880 Yeah perfect. 127 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,880 No complaints about that one. 128 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:31,280 We signed a guard from the Valken's so yeah I don't I think I've heard him from the format 129 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,480 Hennessy one year contract. 130 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:44,200 So yeah this Eagles free agency has been quite the big free agency between Bryce Huff 131 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:52,920 and Seyquan Barkley like just like two like not huge guys just add to this team. 132 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,160 And I'm excited to see Seyquan and a Eagles jersey. 133 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,040 I think that's going to be quite really cool. 134 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:09,120 After Westum drama though Tiki Barber he was a former defensive tackle maybe for the giants. 135 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:22,520 He said something about Seyquan signing with the Giants here let me find it. 136 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:29,740 Hold up. 137 00:11:29,740 --> 00:11:36,680 So with Barkley signing with the Eagles division rival Tiki Barber says he's dead to us now. 138 00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:37,680 He's dead to us. 139 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:38,680 You're dead to us. 140 00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:39,680 Seyquan good luck. 141 00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:40,680 You're dead to me. 142 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:49,600 So just a very just aggressive response to Seyquan signing with the Eagles. 143 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:56,280 Like sure like he signed with the Eagles but like the Giants didn't even offer him a contract. 144 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,280 What do you want him to do? 145 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,840 Like if the Giants don't even offer him a contract. 146 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,240 It's just wild man. 147 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,920 Seyquan says you've been a hater since I got to New York and all the dead to me talk 148 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,880 don't smile on my face when you see me. 149 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,640 He also had another response. 150 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,720 Let me find it. 151 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:29,160 Like basically Tiki hating on his Seyquan throwing the Eagles. 152 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:36,160 So yeah that pretty much wraps it up for today all the free agent signings that happened 153 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,480 just that's pretty much it. 154 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:45,160 If you have any questions or comments or concerns you can send me an email at Jacob Dutchman 155 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:52,240 0920 at icloud.com, but that'll be it for today. 156 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,240 Thank you for listening. 157 00:12:53,240 --> 00:13:18,000 Have a great day.
