The 2022 offseason was a sliding doorways second for a number of franchises. The Texans had formally determined to maneuver on from Deshaun Watson and he had loads of suitors regardless of everybody realizing what a turd of a human he’s. Watson was open to a transfer to the Dolphins or Panthers, and the Dolphins at one level had been rumored to be near a commerce. The Saints and Falcons had been in it proper till the tip, with the Falcons reportedly able to signal Leonard Fournette and Jarvis Landry in free company in the event that they landed Watson. The Browns in fact landed him by coming again and providing him an unprecedented contract that nobody else would match.
However earlier than then, effectively earlier than then, the Eagles had been .
And the Philadelphia Eagles, whose common supervisor Howie Roseman has carried out intensive due diligence into Watson’s sophisticated off-field state of affairs, as produce other NFL groups, aren’t one of many groups Watson would waive his no-trade clause for, in line with league sources.
The Seahawks had been additionally reportedly a kind of different groups. The Eagles, and everybody else, clearly dodged a bullet there. However there’s an alternate universe the place they don’t, and the 2024 Eagles look loads just like the 2024 Browns. The 2 groups aren’t that dissimilar.
Former Eagles assistant GM Andrew Berry is the Browns GM, Jim Schwartz is the DC, Duce Staley is the RB coach, and Shaun Huls runs their sport science division, he had the identical function with the Eagles.
Past the beauty, the Browns and Eagles are analytically inclined groups, no workforce has a bigger analytics division than Cleveland. The Browns haven’t drafted within the 1st spherical since 2021 and just one time within the 2nd spherical since then, however they’ve stocked up on OL, DL, and WR, utilizing 8 of their high 9 picks over the past three seasons on these positions, the Eagles have spent 6 of their high 9 picks over that point on the identical trio of positions when you embody the AJ Brown commerce. The Browns are spending extra in opposition to their cap on OL and EDGE than the Eagles and principally the identical on inside DL. Neither workforce is spending on LB (Eagles 2nd least, Browns seventh least) or safeties (Eagles third least, Browns tenth least). Each groups have been lively in participant commerce markets, the Browns have traded for Watson, Amari Cooper, Ze’Darius Smith, Elijah Moore, Dustin Hopkins, and Jerry Jeudy.
These groups aren’t Spiderman pointing at himself, however they’re loads nearer to one another than to say, the Lions or Colts or Giants.
We will definitively say the Eagles gained the Haason Reddick commerce
In case you missed it, Reddick’s company dropped him. Reddick is now successfully retired, having burned bridges along with his workforce and his company, he’s shedding hundreds of thousands of {dollars}, and he’s 30. Perhaps there’s an incentive laden league minimal contract for him on the market at any time when he’s eligible free of charge company, as a result of if he doesn’t report back to the Jets with 6 video games to play he’ll nonetheless be below contract subsequent yr.
Now all of it is smart
