Hello, welcome back to a special edition of Inside the Birds, Jeff Mosher, with our analytics expert, our contract expert, Sam Finkel.

0:17.6

And this is the second part of our series where last part we it's really been a four-part series.

0:23.0

We've done all the in-house Eagles free agents from Bechtin to Bonn to Williams, Isaiah Rogers,

0:29.5

Berks, Josh Sweat and have had Sam comment on predictive modeling and what they expect to make in free agency.

0:37.7

And since that, the first one, obviously Bonn has re-signed with the Eagles.

0:42.8

And we're getting closer, Sam, to the start of the new league year.

0:46.3

And of course, that noon Monday deadline for when the real craziness begins.

0:51.8

So in this episode, we just wanted to look at the NFL cornerback

1:36.9

So that's, that's, and we talked about Slay.

Slay's actual play, the modeling would show is worth $16 million a year, even if it was a one

1:45.8

1:51.7

1:57.9

names. Some of them will be familiar names. Who would you like to start
