Eagles Roster By The Numbers

The Eagles have whittled their roster down to 53 after a flurry of cuts today. Undoubtedly though, they will have some interest in the hundreds of players cut today and a few of the guys who "made the team" today may not be here by Monday or Tuesday. So if we look at the roster by position, we might see some spots where they are heavy or light, which gives us a hint where moves could still be made.
The offense is pretty well balanced numbers wise.
QB (3), RB (4), WR (5), TE (2), OL (9)
The defense has some areas that could be considered heavy.
DE (5), DT (5), LB (6), CB (6), S (5) Specialists (3)
I would say that there's an extra DT and an an extra corner in there. There's five safeties, but one is Colt Anderson, who is almost only special teams player. The DTs seem extra stocked because they decided to keep Cedric Thornton, but they've had injuries at that position all during camp, so it does make some sense that they kept an extra guy there.
Corner is the spot where it would seem like they have an extra guy. Brandon Hughes was a bit of a surprise to make the team and while I know the Eagles like him, he could certainly be a guy on the way out if they wanted to add another player, potentially a punt returner in the next week. Of course, Trevard Lindley could be a candidate to be cut as well.

4 is way too many RBs
esp since the 3rd rb gets about 10 carries a year

The fullback is counted among the RBs.
So it’s McCoy, Brown & Lewis along with Schmitt

About $5 mill. in cap space after the cuts.

Deseans signing bonus perhaps

Signing bonuses are paid through the length of the contract…. for example if player X gets a 10 mil signing bonus over the length of a 3 year contract his cap hit would be salary + 3.33 mil.
"Learning to eat soup with a knife"
I don't quite think so..
I think they get roster bonus’s.. But the signing bonus came all up front from what I remember.

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

The bonuses are paid up front
but the cap hit can be creatively spread, IIRC

-- Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
-- "The only 'Dream Team' I know about is the Green Bay Packers." -- Jeffrey Lurie
Ohh.. I knew the cap hit was spread creatively...
I just thought they got their money all at once with the bonus’s.

I thought Hanson would "never be cut"
thanks for the insight Jimmy…..
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
we are all wrong at some point
even myself the voice of reason can be wrong from time to time..not often, but can be…
At least we’re not 100% kool aid drinking homers like cough rorschach cough
JoeD AKA The Voice Of Reason
joe, don't be a hypocrite again, you're really painting the wrong picture of yourself lately...
anywho, Jimmy was all about Hanson not having a chance of being cut. Adamant too, to the point where it was hilarious just to say that there’s a slim chance of Hanson being cut.
And he got cut. Boom.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
of course we all have some homer in us
but some more homer than others.
I have been adament about quite a few things and have been dead wrong too. I thought no WAY, no WAY IN HELL do we lose to Arizona in the NFCG. I even put money where my mouth was lol.
I thought Djack was 2 small , and I thought Reggie Brown was the next Chad Johnson (in Chad’s prime of course)….
And I was adament about all that

Panthers shouldn’t of beat us either but they did. And Chad Johnson is just a mouth, above average receiver not really the star ppl made him our to be.

at this point in time, obviously they aren't
Jackson is much better then Hixon. At the time, both were young and inexperienced, but both showed potential. Worked otu for one, not for the other.
To try and use it like the argument was such a big deal is hilarious. At the time it was a valid argument, but since it turned out in favor of the Eagles and in a lopsided manner jimmy acts like it was a superbowl trophy or something.

look what i said back in 2009…. even SOME Of your comrades were correct in saying Jackson was on a whole different level while Hixon was going to be a good player….
It was NOT a valid argument, I even pointed that out back when “stats were comparable” !!!

What do you mean by on the market already?
None listed for Nnamdi: http://store.philadelphiaeagles.com/Philadelphia-Eagles-Nnamdi-Asomugha-Jerseys-_238883484_PG.html
Same with Ronnie Brown’s #36: http://store.philadelphiaeagles.com/Philadelphia-Eagles-Ronnie-Brown-Jerseys--884620071PG.html
Whereas, Vick has many: http://store.philadelphiaeagles.com/Philadelphia-Eagles-Michael-Vick-Jerseys-_8624725_PG.html
It’s already been stated that Brown is changing his # so why can’t Nnamdi? Not doubting you by the way, just curious where you saw it “on the market” already?
Nnamdi made it pretty clear
he doesn’t care about being 21 and is fine with 24.
We should’ve known as soon as he didn’t pay up to swipe Hanson’s number on Day 1
-- Secretary of State for BGN aka "Most diplomatic man on this site," as appointed by Talon Talent
-- Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
-- "The only 'Dream Team' I know about is the Green Bay Packers." -- Jeffrey Lurie
No Nnamdi made it clear he wasn't going to take it from Hanson.
Watch the press conference, he says “I asked him (Hanson) if it meant something to him, he said yes… He didn’t need to say anything more.”

Splitting hairs
I’m gonna pass on watching the press conference lol.
If he didn’t care enough to buy it off a guy for a fraction of his $60 mil, he doesn’t care enough to pay the NFL for its surplus. I suppose that’s not the same as not caring at all, but it certainly wasn’t something I expected out of the guy.
Dead issue since Joselio is back anyway.

With Jarrett a rookie and Allen coming off serious knee surgery keeping 5 safeties was smart. Kind of pissed that they didn’t keep Landri. He had a great preseason.
by ryanitus on Sep 3, 2011 7:43 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Page and Coleman are starting and they weren’t going to cut Allen or Jarrett.
Colt Anderson is just a specialist. They usually keep a standout special teamer. Sometimes it’s an extra LB or WR. Colt happens to be a safety.

Well it wouldn’t be Landri right? I don’t think he’s a vested veteran

I read both Landri and Hargrove were vested vets.

That would make sense
But would they want to expose Thornton to the practice squad? I’m not saying there’s a great demand for him to play anytime soon, but they went to the trouble of using a roster spot on him.

I'm just surprised with no trades, normally do at least one a year
Hank Baskett was traded for a piece of gum way back when, charles scott for jorrick calvin, reggie wells, antwan barnes, etc.

Mike Vick: "Why would they kick to Desean?"
Matt Dodge: "Snap too high!"

Doesn't look like Owen Schmitt is long for the roster
Louksana Polite just got cut by the Fins, he’d be the perfect bruiser and blocker here.
Trevor Laws: "Thank Giants for kicking to (Desean)."
Mike Vick: "Why would they kick to Desean?"
Matt Dodge: "Snap too high!"
NJ Eagle: "Fly Eagles Fly!!!"
they wanted to bring in Jerome Felton last week.

No. Schmitt's better than Polite. Trust me. I've seen Polite shy away from contact when they needed him to block.

I’d rather keep with Schmitt as he has knows the system well and has proven to be a decent enough blocker and receiver. He is insane, a real throwback.

Now did Hunt make the team, read reports that he made it and that he didn’t. I’m hoping he made it. Sorry just can’t believe Parker and Laws are still here, especially Parker. Hunt and Landri should be kept.

Means that instead of being subject to waivers or "claims" they immediately become UFA's and can sign with anybody they
