It's just so hard to repeat. You need an incredible work ethic, great talent, fight off the target on your back because you get everybody's A game, be injury free unless your roster is as deep as the Grand Canyon which is very hard to do with the salary cap, and then you need a ton of luck!!! There's no guarantee that Carson will be back as good as new next year and might never have that escapability that made him so special again. I think that Nick is actually a more accurate passer. There are so many variables here. I'm still soaking things in but of course this is going to be a tough one for us and especially for Nick.

This will be a tough off season for Howie & his crew. Personally I think Nick will have to come and ask to leave or someone with a boatload will have to come with an offer. Otherwise I think the birds keep him. The combined cap hit for him and Carson is very very low for an NFL team so they can easily keep them.
But there are others. Do you keep Peters? Sproles? Do you sign Bradham? Blount? And you still might have some coaching losses.
They have something like 21 of 22 starters signed but you have to keep changing every year in order to hold off stagnation.
I will always hold these guys special but I have always said I am an Eagles fan. Players come and go. I expect some change.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy

I’d let Nick say what he wants to do. I’m betting he says come back. I think he just loves it here. As for signing players, yeah that’s a hard call. I’m saying no to Blount. Bradham is a big yes. Peters and Sproles I’m not sure about. Peters will get a lot of $$$ that I’m not sure I want tied up on a 37 year old who has had significant injuries. Sproles I’m more inclined to sign for a season. He won’t be overly expensive and if he’s close to his old self, well look out. I don’t know what free agents are out there. A few big names, but many times it’s not those who make the difference.

I'm kinda hoping some veteran FAs want to come play on this team and take a discount for a chance to win a title.We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.
