Blogger Faux Pas

Gabe, Gabe, Gabe.  This one's gonna hurt:

Brookover reports that the Eagles are not likely to hand out any extensions this year — exactly how he knows this is never explained, but he’s a reporter and he talks to plenty of folks who’d prefer not to be quoted down there (perhaps this is a topic for another post?). So I’ll take him at face value.

At your service, big guy:

[T]he NFL owners' decision in May to opt out of the final 2 years of the collective bargaining agreement has made it unlikely that any Eagles will be signing extensions between now and the end of the season.

"It's a little hard to go do deals right now when you don't know what the landscape is going to be going forward," Eagles president Joe Banner said earlier this week...

"When you don't know what the rules of the game are going to be, it kind of hinders doing a long-term deal," Banner said. "Players don't know if they're going to be free agents after 4 years or 6 years. I don't know if the cap's going to stay relatively flat or take a significant jump.

"I'm a little reluctant to lock in to too many players without knowing what the next cap will be. Also, we're only a couple of years away from the next round of television deals. So you don't know what's going to happen with that. You don't know what your player costs are going to be. I'm glad that, for the moment, we don't really need to do anything."
