Look at the Eagles offense...Jalen Hurts is paid like a top 10 QB. Saquon is the 3rd-highest paid RB in the league, and I believe 2nd most guaranteed money.AJ Brown is the 3rd-highest paid WR, and Devonta Smith is just outside the top 10, I think he is #11.Mailata #5 LTD i ckerson #1 LGJohnson #4 RTBut on the other side of the ball they have the 8th LEAST cap space going to their defense. And yet I think most everyone would agree...it was largely their defense that won them the title. And look at a lot of the key contributors over there. Leading tackler was Zack Baun, he has been HUGE for them. But was a completely unheralded FA signing, like 3m for the year. Zero fanfare and has been absolutely pivotal. Nakobe Dean, 24. Reed Blankenship, 25 (UFA) DeJean, 21. Quinyon Mitchell, 23. Jalen Carter, 23. Nolan Smith, 23. Jordan Davis, 24. Gardner-Johnson, FA. Just about every key contributor was either a "hit" on a draft pick or a "value" FA signing, with few exceptions... That's not to say it's just that they were lucky but I would say to have that kind of sustained "hit rate" over time is also exceedingly unlikely. Either that, or the Eagles scouting department is truly the best ever, lol...</blockquote>
