The Eagles announced some news on Saturday, though it pales in comparison to blockbuster headlines created by Cleveland Brown and former Eagles CEO Andrew Berry.
Selection in defense Fletcher Cox, a player the Eagles failed to trade and then cut on Thursday, has agreed to return a one-year contract.
Brown, on the other hand, was celebrating the acquisition of quarterback quarterback Deshan Watson, for whom the Eagles had been pursued for two years.
Boston Scott also signed an annual pact with Birds for $ 1.75 million with incentives that could increase it to $ 2.25 million.
Line defender Alex Singleton, the Eagles’ leading pick in the last two seasons, will not return as he has signed a contract with Denver Broncos.
The Eagles will cross their fingers to keep Brown from winning the Super Cup with Watson before they do with Jalen Hurts, Gardner Minsey or anyone else they stand at the center of.
Brown paid a high price by giving up three drafts in the first round and signing Watson a five-year contract extension for $ 230 million, much of which is guaranteed. Watson may have to serve the game as part of a deviation from the NFL if it is found that he has violated a policy of personal conduct.
Don’t think for a second that the Eagles wouldn’t have made such a deal if Watson had felt that Philly was scoring better in the championship than Cleveland.
It would be interesting to see the Eagles promote Cox’s contract through national news brokers because they cut it instead of paying the $ 18 million he would have had to be on the list after 4pm on Thursday. This move, which saved the cap, forced them to fight for Watson if he refused to abandon the ban on trade for other bidders.
The 31-year-old Cox had just 3.5 bags last season, releasing Sam Darnold, Gareth Gilbert twice and Taylor Heineke 0.5 times.
Scott, who turns 27 next month, has made 14 touchdowns, 992 yards and 62 receptions over the past three seasons. Last year he played through a sprained knee.
