NFC Notes: Eagles, Giants, Vikings

Eagles

  • While Eagles S Rodney McLeodโ€˜s recent production may not be in line with his salary, Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice explains that he wonโ€™t be going anywhere this offseason.
  • If the Eagles were to release him, they would take on $9,218,750 in dead money and trading him to another team would cost Philadelphia $7,218,750 in dead money and free up just $1,187,500.
  • According to Kempski, a down year in 2018 could very well lead to McLeod being released in 2019, which would bring the cap savings to $5,093,750 to go along with $4,812,500 of dead money.
  • Kempski can see the Eagles drafting a running back this year, but says itโ€™s unlikely theyโ€™ll add one in free agency.

Giants

Giants co-owner John Mara was asked about his reaction to the Odell Beckham video that surfaced in recent weeks and how it affects a potential long-term extension.

โ€œI guess my response to that is Iโ€™m tired of answering questions about Odellโ€™s behavior,โ€ Mara said, per Paul Schwartz. โ€œHe knows whatโ€™s expected of him and now itโ€™s up to him.โ€

  • Mara added Beckham Jr. โ€œknows whatโ€™s expected of himโ€ in order to receive a long-term extension and contracts get done when theyโ€™re supposed to get done.โ€ (Paul Schwartz)
  • Mara said theyโ€™re not shopping Beckham, but they would listen to calls on any player. (Dan Duggan)
