Hello everybody and welcome to the PHY Eagles show on a just beautiful Wednesday here in Philadelphia live from the Xfinity studio and presented by Ashley.

Bo Wolf, Fran Duffy, Lindsay making it happen behind the scenes.

E.J. is at the Eagles facility preparing for Jordan Davis's press conference as the team formally announces his extension. We are here as free agency frenzy rolls on, Fran, and all

kinds of fireworks going on around the league. Now some information on just how close the Eagles were to being involved in some of those things. Yeah. And so if you are the Eagles, I would imagine there are some not happy campers down there at NovaCare. Well, whatever we're calling the complex these days, the Eagles practice facility because of. I think I'm going to still just call it Navakare. I think so, right? I know that...

Yeah.

The people who are paying for those sponsorships, they're not... I'm not seeing any of that money. Wow. So I'm just going to call what I want to call it. Well, I actually, I asked somebody, because, you know, shorthand, you would say, like, oh, I got NCC. I was like, how long is it going to take you to not be typing NTC with everything?

And I said you should be talking to shout out of Scott Yautis and the IT department. They can set up like autocorrect. Everyone's like phones and computers just to like autocorrect NCC to whatever the name of the place is now. Whatever it is. Yeah. Anyway, we're going to get right to this okay because uh mike garyfellow

the great mike garyfellow was on with anthony this morning and had some really interesting insight

into the last 24 hours or so for the eagles so i want you guys to all listen to that and then we

will regroup and discuss it on the other side here. Now he's not going to have medical clearance, which is why that day, and I said to him, I'm like, we talked about it. I said, there's no way it's going to last until the draft. He says, no, I think that's when the deal is probably more likely to get done because there'll be more medical clarity. And I said, but teams aren't going to wait. They have to do, which is how it played out, right? You got to do it now because now's when the money's available. Now's when the draft capital is available. Like you've got to budget everything. So that's why, despite it being early in the process, the Ravens pushed through that. And other teams were willing to push through that and say, let's get the deal done now. But the problem is when it comes time for the medical evaluation you're not far enough down the line to have

a clearer picture of what's going on even elitrash is saying that in his statement that he released

this morning so um it's it's it's a tough situation and nobody can say from afar how they

would have handled it because they're not in that situation.

The Ravens made a call and that's where they're. So what happens with the Raiders and the cap, right?

Because they go sign all those players and then they're going to keep backs.

Are they still going to move them?

Like what happens there?

I mean, they're going to circle back here what what happens there i mean they're they're they're they're going to circle

back here um and uh the cap wise they're going to be okay i don't i don't i don't sense that there's

going to be a an issue uh there and look you got a couple of days to figure this out you know

with regard my my question for them is more not not the cap, but the spend, right? Because that's a place that's kept the purse strings tight. In fact, they had to spend the last couple of days to get to the minimum spend, right? There's a salary cap and there's a floor as well. That was negotiated back in 2011. And it's part of the collective bargaining agreement.

So they had to get to that. So that's why they were like, great, let's just throw bags of money and spend like drunken sailors on Tyler Linderbaum. Would that deal have looked different if they still had max? Yes, I believe it would have. And in the end, would they have landed him? I don't know. That's up to Linderbaum and stuff that we can't answer at this point. Now, they're going to honor that
