50 Best Restaurants in Philadelphia: 2013 » mica_2870_philadelphia_best_restaurants

Chestnut Hill’s lack of a high-end dining scene has befuddled locals for a long time. But the addition of the attractive and intimate Mica and the cooking of Chip Roman have combined to give the top of the hill a destination restaurant all its own. Roman’s successor to Blackfish shows that the young chef has continued to grow and is turning out refined plates of New American cuisine.

You Might Not Believe It: The seasonal cocktails at Mica are a revelation—not at all what you’d expect from a restaurant that doesn’t have a bar.

All good points. Mine is that the working of the numbers to gain that much flexibility year after year, even off big signings, is impressive. Nothing in recent history to suggest they can’t do it again next season, even if numbers currently project over.

FYI The Birds are second from the top at 90 million. The only team higher are the Broncos at 98 million. Most teams are in the 70-75 million range. For comparison the Cowgirls are at 71 million, that is less than what Jerry makes on the parking for the season. The Pats Mr. Kraft is shelling out a lowly 58 million. Good to see the rich keep getting richer.

I don’t doubt you, but do you have a link/citation?

there is not a list, I had to research team by team. google NFL team salaries

The cap space list always distorts what the actual annual cash spend is and perpetuates the image that the Birds FO is cheap. In reality, the Eagles are always at or near the top of the list of annual payroll cash spend. Check those numbers for the real picture.

“Clearly Howie Roseman learned well under Joe Banner when it comes to cap management”

I don’t doubt that he did, but it will bear more proving. Cap management can’t be evaluated as just a one-year snapshot, but as a long-term strategy.

Tim, you need to factor in the carry over to next year. Next year they are over by 12mm. Can’t look at this year in isolation it doesn’t provide the whole picture.

ICDogg

You are correct sir.

The Eagles have a lot of money due to players next season and a couple of contracts to renew as well.
Campos

you right, but the cap will be fine next year too.

we have Peters ($10MM) and Bell (9,6MM) zero guarantee. Just one will stay (or none depending on the consequences of the injury to Peters´ career and if Bell does not have a good season). Demeco will restructure his contracts (no garantee money in the current) and probably Asomugha (only 4MM guaranteed in the last 3 years of contract), if they play well this year, of course. If not, they have market value and can be traded. And knowing how the Eagles operate, Babin should be traded next year. He is in the wrong side of 30 and we have so many young talent at DL.

ICDogg

DRC and Maclin will probably be re-signed as well.
