Will he eventually play more this year?

Will he be back in Philly next year?

Does he have any LT value in Philly?

 

He is only in his 4th year;, so he isn't old or anything?

[gottabesweet84 0]

He's on my roster right now...

 

 

My 4,5 or 6th RB

Mine too... as my 4th

 

I really thought he'd be playing more, but I guess Philly won't stop passing so friggin much

Gordon's contract ends this year. Ryan Moats and Correll Buckhalter are the notables who are under contract for next year. Westbrook will probably be gone, but they may bring in another guy to start, in which case Gordon would definitely be gone. Even if Gordon returns, they may go with Moats and/or Buckhalter as the main guy(s), and draft another young guy to be the #3, or use one of the existing scrub RBs on the roster for that role. Moats was activated for the first time last game, but all he did was return two kicks for an average of 13 yards. Buckhalter's future is of course uncertain because of all his injuries. If Buckhalter doesn't play next year and they don't sign a big-name free agent, I'd say Gordon will probably be an Eagle, otherwise probably not.

as an Eagle fan I will say that Buckhalter's career is basically done, he is not in the picture anymore. Moats, he just sufered his second concussion, and he looks to be no better than a 3rd down late in the game type of guy. He has no value from what I have seen.

My guess is the Eagles re-sign Westbrook, if not they go get another back. I don't see Gordon as a long term option, and I have him on my bench in FF.

If Moats has concussion problems, and Westbrook wants to much $$, they might have to re-sign Gordon.

 

I also agree Buckhalter is no longer a viable option for the Eagles. Gordan may be a cheap alternative to a decent, more expensive back up.

i could see shaun alexander leaving seattle and going to philly.

no way they give Alex BIG $$--- even if they fail to get to the SB, they won't pay him.

 

Unless they trade TO - which is a BIG possibility

the eagles have plenty of money. if they don't sign westbrook, they could definitely go get alexander, maybe run the ball now and then and actually have a balanced offense.

I hadn't heard about the concussion. That sucks. (Moats owner in a keeper league.)

Just because they can do something, doesn't mean they will. The reason they have plenty of money is that they don't spend it that way. Offensively, their main big-money guys are at QB and OT. Overall, they spend more money on depth than most teams. I'm not sure they'll change that by signing a stud but aging RB.

 

Also, to Portis, they won't trade TO, they will cut him.

TO cap hit is minimal I think next year, but they still own the rights to him, so cutting him, although it is an optio, I think they would try to get something for him - maybe a 3rd round pick, since he is a known headache

Will he eventually play more this year?

Will he be back in Philly next year?

Does he have any LT value in Philly?

 

He is only in his 4th year;, so he isn't old or anything?

I think we all need to get hobbies or do some charity work?

 

Lamar Gordon posts?? What has the world come to?

come on man, you don't understand...some of us play in 40-man leagues. just because you play in a 12-man league and it doesn't matter to you, doesn't mean it doesn't matter to the rest of us.

Yea Buckhalter is done, Moats has had concussion problems and it doesn't look like he is grasping the offense (cause atleast westbrook) was involved in his first year) Moats seems to be an after thought

 

I think they re-sign Gordan as the #2 back and go after either Edge or SA. They trade TO and hope the WR in Lewis and Brown will produce (which i think they can)

 

I don't see them signing westbrook and not just that, i really am getting the feeling he doesn't want to be here anymore

[skyyaa 0]

I'm a philly homer and it really suprises me that people are seriously imagining Edge or Alexander as an Eagle. The Eagles just don't work that way, under Andy Reid it will always be a pass-first (and very often) offense, so whatever RB that is here next year will be similar to Westbrook- a very good pass catcher with skills in the open field. Alexander and Edge are both slashing feature backs who would want to be paid like a workhorse back- not a pass catching 10-15 carry a game back.

Looks like a job for Michael Pittman.

They don't need to trade Owens to get rid of him. They can simply cut him. He is due a 5.5 million dollar roster bonus next season if the Eagles don't cut him by a certain date. If they release him before that date, they won't take much of a cap hit because Owens signing bonus was only about 2 million dollars.

 

If the Eagles don't resign Westbrook, I think there's a good chance they pursue Edgerrin James or Shaun Alexander in free agencey. Most would disagree with that, but the Eagles would have plenty of cash to sign either one. I don't think they are foolish enough to let Westbrook go and try to replace him with Lamar Gordon. Ryan Moats may get the chance if he impresses the coaches in practice and with whatever playing time he may get, but I think the Eagles realize there is a big difference between Moats and Edge or SA.

 

With Westbrook, James and Alexander (among others) all set to hit the open market next season it may decrease the value of their upcoming contracts. There could be at least 3 good RBs on the open market next season and only a few teams with the need that are willing to pay alot. Not to mention other teams that may simply look to the draft for a RB rather than paying someone a lot of money. The Eagles have been willing to offer Westbrook something in the 25 million dollar range. If they can get Edge or Alexander for 30-35 million they just might be willing to do it.

 

If they let Westbrook go and don't sign a free agent RB to be the starter I think Moats takes over most of the load by week 4-6 next year. They may be willing to use a rotation of Moats, Gordon and someone like Najeh Davenport who is a FA next season.
