Welcome to Inside the Data on Inside the Birds.

I'm Jeff Mosher.

And of course, when we're talking Inside the Data, we are talking Sam Finkel, our data

and analytics expert.

And we've got a great two-part podcast series lined up. And

Sam, I say it's great because we're going to, it's a little bit of a blast on the past.

When you first started doing shows with us, one of your specialties was doing predictive

outcomes of free agent contracts for not just the Eagles, but the NFL. And lately, we just haven't

really had time to take a deep breath,

get away from the X's and O's and really talk about contracts, which is your specialty. And now is a

So we'll start with defense, right? I think of a guy like Morrow Joomo who will talk about, who I'm sure the Eagles would love to extend. But I'm sure his agent is saying, hey, you just had a really good year last

year. You're going to have one more really good year on this awesome defense. And then you too

could go be like Milton Williams or Jalen Phillips next year in free agency if you stay healthy

and you have a really productive season. So I'm going to let you take it from here as far as I know that when we talk,

you have changed a little bit on how you do your predictive algorithm to determine contract

extensions and contracts. Yeah, absolutely. I made a couple changes for a bunch of reasons,
