Eagles chat with Zach Berman

3rd & 7 37yd

Welcome to the weekly chat. I'm here in Orlando. Much to discuss -- let's get to all your questions...

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:03:46 PM
Do you think our OL is stout enough to handle the additions made by LAR & MIN?

by Rich 3/27/2018 4:04:27 PM
When healthy, I do. It will be difficult, but the offensive line is a strength. They have four players who've been to Pro Bowl (Peters, Brooks, Kelce, Johnson) and a steady veteran in Wisniewski. But they must stay healthy.

Reading Roseman’s comments on BG. I’m not so sure he’s in for the long haul. Thoughts?

by Colby 3/27/2018 4:06:43 PM
I don't know what to make of that yet. It's still early, he's still under contract. I don't know how much new money they want to give to someone who will be 30 next season, but Graham has certainly earned it.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:07:22 PM
Why not Marcedes Lewis on a 1 year deal?

by Jamie 3/27/2018 4:07:33 PM
My guess is the Eagles wait to see what happens in the draft at TE.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:07:48 PM
Where is the cap after Wallace signing?

by Vic 3/27/2018 4:07:49 PM
They're around $6M right now.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:09:03 PM
Zach, can you give your thoughts on 1) what the Eagles plan to do at TE w/ departures of Burton and Celek and 2) possibly related: what positions we're targeting in draft.

by JonnyFootball 3/27/2018 4:09:09 PM
I think they draft a TE and RB. Not sure when, but they'll draft from both spots. At tight end, I think Ertz and a rookie and then maybe an inexpensive veteran after May 8.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:09:42 PM
How will the attitudes of Bennett & Wallace affect our locker room?

by Carlos 3/27/2018 4:09:56 PM
I don't know either of them other than news conferences, so hard for me to say. But Eagles have a strong locker room and it's usually a good place for veterans.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:10:34 PM
Zach--Howie has gotten a lot of credit over the last year, but I think his comments on michael bennett were really tone deaf. I hope in the future you will push back when he starts waxing philosophical about what a great country we have. We just cut a legend at TE and used some of the money we saved to get a guy who pushes around disabled/elderly people....I know NFL is a business, but michael bennett isn't worth 100 Brent Celeks, period.

by Greg T. 3/27/2018 4:12:32 PM
Greg, when I ask Howie questions, I'm not advocating a position -- I'm trying to get his position. I push when it warrants it, but it's not my place to grandstand for Brent Celek.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:13:20 PM
You’ve been at Eagles practices. Is Sudfeld really what they’re making him out to be?

by Rico 3/27/2018 4:13:23 PM
Honestly, I'm not allowed out there for much of practice during the regular season, and that's when they added him. I see glimpses early in practice -- good size, moves decently for his size. But I haven't seen enough outside of the Cowboys game to really tell you.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:14:51 PM
How much longer will the whole Kendricks thing play out? Trade not trade? This seems bad for him & the team? It offers no stability.

by Harold 3/27/2018 4:14:53 PM
I think there will be resolution around the draft.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:15:12 PM
Any chance the eagles would package 32 and a player or two to make a significant move up in the draft?

by Spencer 3/27/2018 4:15:20 PM
Can't rule it out, but I don't know if it will be a significant move-up.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:15:31 PM
do they move down in draft say their #1 and a 4. for a.mid level 2 and 3

by bob 3/27/2018 4:15:38 PM
I think they'll draft on Day 2 one way or another.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:15:54 PM
Is it mandatory to extend Wentz’s next off season? I really want to see him take less risk and how he comes back after injury.

by Dustin 3/27/2018 4:15:56 PM
Not mandatory. They could wait until after next season before his option year.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:16:10 PM
Should the eagles be worried about the rams, especially with all their D gaining great players?!

by Rico Ace 3/27/2018 4:17:23 PM
Rams will be a contender, no doubt. Still curious about their edge rush. Will be a good matchup next season.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:17:38 PM
If you're Cleveland, which QB are you taking #1. Or are you not taking a QB at 1?

by bdbd20 3/27/2018 4:17:55 PM
I think they'll take Darnold. Rosen is the QB I like the most.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:18:05 PM
Do you think we’re done in free agency and with trades prior to the draft?

by Tony 3/27/2018 4:19:06 PM
I think they might add a FA who was cut elsewhere, but don't think they'll mess with comp. pick formula. So for those that would count against formula, I think they wait until May. I can see a trade.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:19:53 PM
do you see the eagles as a stronger team this year compared to last year?

by Rico Ace 3/27/2018 4:21:53 PM
Way too soon to say. I need to see what happens with the draft. But my guess is the roster will be better considering the development of some young pieces. Doesn't mean they'll have a better record.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:22:26 PM
I am dreaming of the eagles getting ROJO/GUICE at 32 but in reality I anticipate a move for day 2. Are RBs like Hines and Chubb(over sony) on our radar/in our reach in rounds 2.....or 3?

by flyguylive 3/27/2018 4:22:39 PM
Depends how the draft falls. Can't predict trades. Think Dalvin Cook could have been an Eagle last year if they could have made a deal to move up. But those are good backs -- a lot of good backs this year. I like Kerryon Johnson.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:23:48 PM
would you rather take a LB, S, or OL at #32?!

by Rico Ace 3/27/2018 4:23:49 PM
Depends on the player. Of those three, I'd say an offensive tackle or safety.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:24:08 PM
When will Howie, Doug, & Big Joe Douglas get extensions?

by Kyle 3/27/2018 4:24:16 PM
Teams usually make those types of moves after the draft, at least re: personnel.

by Zach Berman 3/27/2018 4:24:34 PM
Howie Roseman, in my opinion did a horrible job before the Kelly Era, Once he regained his authority why all of a sudden was he a mastermind and finally put together a Super Bowl Formula? Do you think Joe Douglass should deserve a ton of credit? or Roseman finally cracked the code?

by Rico Ace 3/27/2018 4:24:39 PM
Getting a QB was a big part of it. He had a sound strategy elsewhere, but hitting on the QB was the key.
