Eagles | Runyan re-signed
Fri, 24 Mar 2006 13:12:27 -0800

The Philadelphia Eagles have announced the team has agreed to terms with free agent ORT Jon Runyan (Eagles) on a three-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Re: jon runyon
 

that definitely helps the eagles...theyd really be screwed without him

Re: jon runyon
 

He's getting old but he's still a quality OL

Re: jon runyon
 

yea he has been healthy the last few years so he is pretty reliable, but unless Philly improves there running game their team isn't going to be much better than they were last year.

They won't make the playoffs as they stand.

Re: jon runyon
 

He is one of the dirty OL in the league...loves to pile on and hit people way after the play is over. Still and Eagle and still good, but this guy is dirty.

Re: jon runyon
 

Runyan looks like Jason Fabani to me. To big white tackles on green teams. Most important post of the day right here.

it helps them quite a bit, he's a good OL guy for them and definately someone they needed back.

[B]Eagles | Runyan took less money to stay[/B]

Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports OT Jon Runyan accepted the Philadelphia Eagles three-year, $12.5 million contract to re-sign with the Eagles. The New York Jets were actually willing to pay Runyan double the money in the first year of the contract and millions more over the life of it. Runyan couldn't leave the Philadelphia market in which he felt so comfortable. The Jets tried very hard to get Runyan to sign, but in the end they could not get the deal closed.

looks like the eagles got a decent deal for him.

Re: jon runyon
 

The Eagles always get a decent deal and I wouldn't write them off yet. Their D is going to be pretty good.

Re: jon runyon
 

grim,why do you think their d will be pretty good?

Re: jon runyon
 

Kearse 3 time Probowler
Trotter 4 time probowl
Dawkins 5 time probowler
Michael Lewis probowler
Darren Howard
Shawn Barber

They have a lot of playmakers. They have a great D coordinator and they are disciplined. Also, they are embarrassed. They were very tough when they had abslutely nothing to play for.

Popularity contest, popularity contest, popularity contest.

You think Larry Allen should have made the Pro Bowl this year too?

Re: jon runyon
 

Not saying they won't be above averge, but I think that's all you can ask for with that group. McNabb will make them MUCH better, they just need more.

I guess 4 straight NFC Championship games were a popularity contest too.

Re: jon runyon
 

Apples to oranges. When a team plays well, people who are not necessarily deserving make the Pro Bowl. The Pro Bowl is always a crap shoot. People who are slighty above average make it.

Re: jon runyon
 

kearse hasnt done squat for them ,trotter is highly over rated,shawn barber is a walking injury,but....dawkins and lewis are the real deal and old man jimmy johnson is a very good coordinator

If a team is playing well their players should make the probowl.

then what happened to the skins last season?

More of their players should have made it the last two years but there is national distaste for them. That doesn't mean that all of Philly's probowlers were undeserving.

The skins really turned it on around the time of the pro bowl vote, bad luck for them!

BTW where does Cooley stand as far as the pro bowl is concerned? A FB or TE?

Re: jon runyon
 

Hmmm. I thought he was listed as an FB. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

he was listed as a FB, but he should have been listed as a TE (if he was, he would have gone to hawaii when randy mcmicheal (i think) had to cancel... instead some NFC TE with crap stats got in. totally unfair).

Re: jon runyon
 

why couldnt someone in the nfl management team decide after the dropout to use cooley as a replacement?probably because alot of players have pro bowl bonus' tied into their contracts?

they go by votes and cooley' votes were at FB, not TE.
