I have a buddy who lives in Philly and they are really high on the potential of signing Malcolm and would love them to join Eagles secondary. My guess is that MJ will be gone pretty soon.

Good Question

Im unsure on this overall.
I like the idea of getting the team yonger and faster but with limited cap space over the next two years and Drew Brees being 37 by the end of the 2015 season there is a risk here of wasting his best remaining years.

The next few weeks will say everything that needs to be said.
I wonder if after next season we are are going to be in for a few shocks with the top players getting traded or dumped.

Im guessing coach has a plan

Most of these guys are currently replaceable with cheaper versions. I don't think we've released a single player that can't be replaced with the same production and lower costs.

Remember, Cam Jordan is a free-agent next year and thats gonna be a 12 million/season deal. And if we don't sign Jimmy this year he'll be a free agent next year too.

And then the following year Hicks and Galette...

Robinson, Cadet, & Ingram are all young & promising. Cadet will replace Sproles as the swing back & PR. Morgan will also return punts as well.

If PT leaves that will really be the one that hurts me. But I can't argue with it either, not when Robinson is just as productive and 1/4th the price.

Other cuts are understandable but PT leaving will hurt us. I'm not talking about YPC. I'm talking about everything else he does on the field.

It would hurt under the old game plan.... Which was very predictable and failed a few times.

The flip-side is that with out dynamic versatile running backs, Sean Payton will have to actually RUN the ball. Is call that a blessing towards balance.

	"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
