The more i think about it the more i think we lose Flowers. He took a one year deal to prove himself and played well. He will most likely have intentions of going to the highest bidder and hit free agency. He may think hes worth 7 mil a year. Thing is with cap rollover now teams have more money to spend than ever. Eagles need help bad. Lost of teams need CBs. Hes near the top of the list as far as Free Agent cbs go that play zone.

I hate to lose Flowers. He's the #1 guy I want them to sign

The combo of Rhinehart and Troutman at LG doesn't have me jumping for joy.

Chris Watt played LG at Notre Dame, alongside Trevor Robinson at C( at least for 1 year).
Watt did not look good at either C or RG, so why not let him move back to a position where he's comfortable, playing next to a guy who he has history with in Robinson, who happened to play a very solid C when called upon.

If you resign Dunlap and move Fluker to RG, all you need is to go out and find a RT( Bulaga would be great! And we have the money!)

Bring back Troutman and Rinehart in back up roles, draft an interior lineman in the 2nd to 4th rounds, you'd have a solid line by only going into FA once.

He may think he's worth that but I wonder what teams are willing to pay. He did miss a couple of games, he's short and he is 28 years old. I really hope we can keep him.

That's efficient but is Trevor Robinson the best center we can get? I like Fluker at RG, but him next to Dunlap could be devastating! I guess Fluker next to Beluga is pretty intimatating as well...

Not many players I want back from that list. Dunlap just due to how bad the rest of our line sucks. Eddie Royal is a solid player. Can we afford to let both Flowers and Wright go?

That's my group.
Dunlap and Flowers are a must. Royal has been very productive( Malcolm has not-cut). You need as many decent CB's as you can get, so Wright stays, for the right price. Tutu and Gachkar are good special teamers and solid back ups, as is Mathews. Robinson should be our starting C.

Clearly. Mine as well. We finally get the CB issue fixed and we break that up? Cant do it.

CBs have been the most overpaid position in the last couple of years imo.

Might not have a choice. Flowers im sure will take the highest bidder and im not sure Telesco will overpay. Dunlap at this point is pretty important as well.

You know, at SOME point, this team is going to have to do something definitive in the FA market if they want to be more than a perennial .500 team. It would pretty much send a very bad message, to this fan at least, if they were to let Flowers go. Which does NOT mean that you sign Flowers and let everyone else go, either.

They have money. There isn't a Gaither, Cox, or Meachump in sight (OK, I'm looking past Brown and Butler for a minute). They may have an opportunity to restructure 3-4 vets to release even more funds. The list of bolded players in WindsorUK's list, above, is reasonable, do-able, and within reach.

Get it done...or do us all a favor and get the hell out of town.

I think we see some moves this year. Head scratching, head shaking, aquavelva slapping moves...

Not to mention there is big cap space in 2016 where they might be able to structure contracts to push cap money to the second year

[Mister Hoarse]

They will have the money to pay Flowers and Dunlap. Will they?
I have no problem with them giving Flowers top tier money.
