It would be good for us if they moved draft picks for older Players. They are just an average team. I think they should win the division but just like if Dallas does they are going nowhere.


Agree 100%. I hope they do. They are already strapped against the cap next season.


No trade is going to take them over the top and make them competitive for a Super Bowl this season.

Eagles are down to one starter on the OL this week, Kielce. Their WR corps has been decimated.

They have no cap room which makes trades near impossible. The only Eagle players with trade value are Fletcher Cox and Ertz. I am sure the Eagles would like to get rid of Wentz, but his contract makes him not trade-able to all but the Bengals, Jags, and Colts who all have cap room.

Word is they are looking for WRs and LBers for sure ...........

BTW: Just read a tweet we could see a fire sale from the Texans. The names of 5-6 vets are coming up in NFL circles including JJ Watts, believe it or not.

Ah yes another one that puts so much stock in speculation by sportswriters and then to prove it puts up two links to the same sportswriter's speculation.

This is the difference between a GM trying to save his job or not.

Of course the owner could always overrule, but they may not if they gave out a mandate....playoffs or fired.
The GM is trying to save his job because he traded off picks for older players starting 3 years ago.
It is just the GM's philosophy of YOLO.
But the older players are the ones always injured and without draft picks you can't balance your salary cap.
Given the Philly cap space situation the next 2 years it would be insane to trade for any vet making nay real money beyond this year.
