It’s been explained but I don’t know how they do it …easier to start with who they didn’t sign this offseason

Even if he’s not a starter he could be a beast as a 6th lineman in short yardage.

And who knows how good he can be with Philly’s coaching.

5.5M for a guy who is struggling with weight issues. His ligaments can't hold up. I want no part of that.
Roseman can do no wrong here.

And the same people that thought Barkley wasn’t worth half of what from them he got still gargle his balls. Amazing. Must be like having a wife who lets you sleep around and lets you go out w the boys whenever you want.

If Schoen had singed Barkley and Becton to those deals this place would be even worse that it’s been since they passed on a QB.

Belton is not trash, he is injury prone. As a swing tackle he is excellent. As a starter it’s questionable. I would have loved for the Giants to get him as a swing tackle.
My point has nothing to do with the player.....but the 5.5 million

Colossal bust (pun intended). Giants fans are so soft these days.

Yep, $5.5 mill for a guy that is injured more often than Saquon Barkley...
Good player, no doubt, but cannot stay on the field.
Beckton is trash

Thibs basically got half his season sacks against him. He is horrible

Lol this.
Eagles can’t afford a disaster season…  
knowledgetimmons : 4/28/2024 7:34 pm : link
They’re a house of cards. Everyone is crossing fingers that nothing goes wrong, because the results are as close to biblical in scope in the NFL sense.

Becton is in great shape.
He lost a lot of weight and improved his core strength.
He worked hard this offseason.

This is a good gamble for the Eagles.
No cap and

16 draft picks every year… we can’t compete …. Looking forward to see Barkley get hit by burns and dex … green scum

That was last off season where he dropped 50 pounds. He was second in the league in penalties and I think worst in sacks let up. But yeah, he was great. As Lauderdale Matty said the Eagles could sign JeMarcus Russell and 95% of BBI would laud it.
This is a low risk move it it's vet min

There is also something to be said for the next phase of roster building which at this point is cut downs.

I will be shocked if the Giants don't add a player or 2 then

Would be the equivalent of philly signing Evan Neal.
as bad as Gettleman was,...  
jcp56 : 4/28/2024 8:38 pm : link
at least he chose Thomas over Becton.
Becton was AWFUL  
GiantsFan84 : 4/28/2024 8:44 pm : link
Like really terrible last year. They can have him
Becton  
Archer : 4/28/2024 9:44 pm : link
I can't tell you if his game will improve, but I was working out with him and he is a different person.
He is also healthy for the first time in two years.

let's see what he can do with good coaching
Amazing, as bad as he's been, he is a player  
barens : 4/28/2024 11:42 pm : link
who had a pretty special rookie year. Just kind of sad he couldn't keep that kind of consistency, because he would have been up there with some of the best of them.

is still their OL coach I believe, so I expect Becton to flourish.
Hate the eagles more then anything  
Modog : 4/29/2024 10:55 am : link
But you have to tip your cap at Howie Roseman, I don't know how he does it. I wish we had a GM like that. Hes always been a cap wizard now he's running the draft in recent years
They can
