The Eagles signed Graham to a 3 year extension a week ago.And I’m sure as hell not going to fault Macc for not giving Flowers $17 million a year. That’s fucking ludicrous. i know i was being sarcastic....u don't wanna spend 16 mil on Flowers?...what the fuck are you saving 100 mil for then? We added ~$10-11M in Osemele, who was almost like a FA pickup. After that, Over the Cap has us at ~$82M left overthecap.com/calculator/new-york-jets/$9.5M to Crowder leaves about $72M and change. Add ~$10M to Paradis, ~$15 million to LeVeon Bell, sign Barr for probably at least $10M, resign Anderson, another CB, another edge rusher, a few other role players to round out the roster and that money will go quick.

I’d take Barr over Flowers all damn day. He’s been playing out of position his entire pro career and has still managed to be a pro-bowl player. nothing against Barr....but not the pass rusher Flowers is even on his best day...

Because he was never used that way in Minnesota. They had him playing out of position his entire tenure there as a 6’5 260 4-3 OLB. Yet he still managed to make 4 consecutive pro-bowls. His natural position was always as a 3-4 OLB. He had 24 sacks during his last two years at UCLA. He can absolutely rush the passer. His passrushing grade last year was similar to Danielle Hunter despite only rushing the QB a fraction as often.

Again, Flowers’ production is damn near identical to Jordan Jenkins, who the majority of this fanbase seemingly can’t wait to replace. No way would I be in favor of dropping $17 million a year on an edgerusher who averages 6-7 sacks a season.

I would love to have flowers but he wanted to go where there was a familiar coach. I’m sure we were in on it. Barr would be an excellent get.
