Swift is getting ~$8M+/yr. I don't think Philly even considered anything close. I think SB will want more than Swift, so I would be surprised if he is wearing Green next season.
If Howie can't find a good value on a Free agent running back, they have draft capital.
Below are the Eagles draft picks. It's likely that they can get a good back at 97
I've seen a projection of the top 3 RB picks as:
-Jonathan Thomas (64)
-Trey Benson(86)
-Blake Corum (95)
I wouldn't be surprised to see Howie trade down from #22 to get addl picks and maybe use them to make a move in the 3rd, if needed, to get a RB. How bout a RB room of Gainwell, Corum, & Scott?
