I can see Ertz being someone to say that
Might’ve been Malcolm Jenkins
I bet it was Mills
Jenkins
It was probably Wentz tbh
CJGJ 😆
It was Terrell Owens.
Who was this former player?
You guessed it, Frank Stallone.
Jason Peters?
Chris Long. The Long Cox relationship is a sturdy one
Mychal Kendricks is my pick, just for fun. No reasoning for this, other than I just found out he plead guilty to insider trading in 2018. Can’t believe I missed that, kind of wild.
What is with the majority of these guesses being ppl who were traded. FREE AGENCY PPL. That means they CHOSE to leave. Not Wentz, not Ertz, and literally not Long because he retired.
Since we’re all guessing, Beau Allen was probably one of them. Maybe Vinny Curry.
Jeremiah Trotter. Or Hugh Douglas. Feels like it would be someone that came back.
Miles Sanders? Panthers looked rough today.
How much you bet it was Miles Sanders? 😂
Hahaha fuck you Frank Gore
Carson trash Wentz!!!!
Trent Cole? They overlapped, and Brandon Graham said Trent Cole told him the same thing about leaving the team that drafted you.
“During FA, former eagles” so this isn’t anyone that left last season like White, Edwards, CJGJ, Hargrave, or Epps…but players before that?
Hugh, Ike, Trott, Cole?
Bet it was our favorite eagle, Micah Parsons
My real guess is Ertz, it sounds like something he would say and I remember during media week before the Super Bowl he was asked if he was going to retire an Eagle and he said, “Of course I’m going to retire an Eagle, the question is if I’ll ever play as an Eagle again.” Dude is homesick for his team for real.
But my outside guess that hasn’t been suggested yet – McLeod. He was a respected leader here, had a heartfelt goodbye when he left, and then went to the shitshow that is the Colts and had Jeff Saturday as his coach for half the season while the Eagles went back to the Super Bowl.
Bennie Logan?
Haven’t seen this one come up. Him and Fletch were super close.
Jenk
My guess TJ Edwards. That is not the Bears Defense of 2017-2019. Won’t have the same back 4 and front 4 making his job so much easier!
Jason Peters.. I’d bet money he had regrets.
Kysir White and Marcus Epps maybe? I don’t see CJGJ keeping in contact with Fletch. TJ is from Chicago and wanted to play for his home team. Hargrave got PAID so it isn’t him.
Probably Nigel Bradham, Vinny Curry, or Jason Peters. All burnt out post-Philly
Dawkins?
Late in a players career if the difference is just a relatively small percentage of your lifetime earnings to go to a new team with new people in a new city when the teams signing them are often bad teams. I can see it being worth it to sacrifice a bit of money that isn’t going to materially change things for you at this point to stay with a team and dirt in which you’ve spent your whole career that deeply appreciates you.
Brodrick Bunkley?
This is the kind of rep you want your team to have. Huge advantage.
