Sources in Philadelphia tell me Devin McCourtey is high on the Eagles free agent board and will pursue him. As will the New York Giants.

Get into a bidding war with Philly. Is not worth it
Moore is more realistic as free agent  
jayg5 : 3/5/2015 4:57 pm : link
Eagles can outbid nyg.
Yes we fave to jake him priority # 1  
superspynyg : 3/5/2015 4:57 pm : link
We then sign Franklin or Iupati and we are free to go anyway in the draft.
I think Iupati  
Emil : 3/5/2015 4:59 pm : link
is on a one way ticket to Buffalo

probably but those are my wish list. We need a F/A saftey and a line of either Beatty-Shwartz-Richburg-Iupati-Pugh or Beaty-Schwartz-Richburg-Pugh-Franklin would be great. Plus having vets inside to help Richburg in his first year at center will help him greatly.

don't think we're going to get McCourty or Moore. We'll be outbid.
Moore and Parker  
Rflairr : 3/5/2015 5:22 pm : link
are likely better fits for the Giants.
it seems like there is a lot of money to throw around this year  
UConn4523 : 3/5/2015 5:23 pm : link
by more teams than I can ever remember. I hope we can land 1 big FA but i'm starting to think we won't. Colts, Eagles, Miami, Jacksonville, probably a few more all can blow most of our offers away.

Hope i'm wrong.
I really like Parker  
Emil : 3/5/2015 5:27 pm : link
I think he would be a low cost difference maker.

Probably.
Gilchrist  
RAIN : 3/5/2015 5:32 pm : link
he makes sense.
Gilchrist should present much better value  
JonC : 3/5/2015 5:44 pm : link
interesting option.
KC Star said Parker was looking for 6 mil per year  
Defenderdawg : 3/5/2015 5:46 pm : link
Over 4-5 years

Well I'm not sure he is worth that, and I don't think he'll command that much. Of course it all comes down to the guaranteed money.
I hate the Eagles!  
Simms11 : 3/5/2015 5:55 pm : link
how much do they really want McCourty? and how much of this is driving up his asking price to kill the Giants cap space.
Gilchrist  
LakeGeorgeGiant : 3/5/2015 6:03 pm : link
I really like the Gilchrist option. I believe he can play multiple positions in the secondary also.

I've said before Id rather get 2 safetys than break the bank on Mccourty.
even if we can't afford  
_dnyl : 3/5/2015 6:26 pm : link
him we still have to get into a bidding war if only to drive the price up for him to Philly. Cant just let them have him, bid up the price and then let them sign him.
Just ask McCourty  
mrvax : 3/5/2015 6:29 pm : link
how many superbowls the Eagles have won or ever will win. Then say "exactly". "Sign here." Done.

McCourty will have multiple bidders anyhow.
When do FA's start thinking about how the Eagles tend to

Dump them when the real money of their contract starts to come due?
NJ.com article on Devin  
Coach Mason : 3/5/2015 7:28 pm : link

And possible homecoming. Giants since last year's draft , have been going hard for the high character /team captain guys. Well Devin was a captain 4 of 5 seasons with the Pats.

Giants showed willingness to spend big for a S when they signed Antrel for 5 yrs/37mill (and that was 5 years ago and when of the biggest contracts for a S at the time).

I wouldn't be surprised if Giants were willing to give Devin a very strong market value offer (with a cap friendly year 1).

I would rather have us went after Suh and maybe go for a better value at Safety, but we know the Giants love those team captains! I am half-joking....

McCourty open to homecoming - ( New Window )
I hope like hell  
mrvax : 3/5/2015 7:48 pm : link
the Eagles lose at least 10 games this year. They deserve to rot in the basement along with the Skins.

So glad I've never had to watch an Eagles Sb victory and I'm very confident I'll be long gone before it ever happens. I don't understand how their fans can continue to root for them knowing they will never, ever have a SB trophy in their empty display case.

If you asked me 5 years ago, I would have never thought Rolle would have played/earned the whole contract. Looks like a bargain today.

Don't think our FO will play that game. They'll set a price & duck out if higher. At least I'd like to think so.
While I'd love Suh  
Coach Mason : 3/6/2015 11:35 am : link
This is likely our primary 'big-fish' FA target.

I really hope we are able to get him. Pressure packages work a whole lot better with a Safety back there who can cover some serious ground.
