Hayes: Measuring Bennie Logan's value to the Eagles

BENNIE LOGAN'S rookie contract expires after this season. Unless the Eagles extend his contract, he can become a free agent. So: What is Logan is worth? Unlike other positions, run-stuffing defensive tackle can be a difficult spot to quantify.

One simple metric: The Eagles are 4-1 when Logan is playing and healthy, 1-3 when he is not.

It seems unlikely that the club would use an exorbitant franchise tag on Logan, who is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a franchise player. He is, however, 6 feet, 2 inches and 315 pounds of in-his-prime disruption. He is the sort of player whose presence makes the job of the other front-seven players easier.
