Twitter: Eagles trading Ertz to AZ

[CowboysFaninHouston]

So AZ gets another weapon

I would have traded one of our CBs and Jarwin and a 5th round pick....but I am sure they would have said no to a division rival

 

[CyberB0b]

Ertz has been hurt and overrated his entire career. I'm surprised they got that much for him.

 

[Verdict]

Fletcher Cox?

Fletcher Cox still can play at a high level, but for how long?

 

[JD_KaPow]

Ertz hasn't been good for a couple years. We'll find out if it was him or the team (obviously, some of it was injuries). The Eagles have Goedert. No-brainer for them to take what they can get.

I've made no predictions this year at all, but I do believe we're going beat the cardinals when we play them. I believe we will humiliate them..

 

[JJHLH1]

I still can’t believe Indy traded a 3rd round pick in addition to a 1st or 2nd round pick to the Eagles to get Wentz.

What were the Colts thinking? Wentz is the worst starting QB in the league.

I give the Eagles credit for moving players that can’t help them.

Wow.

What a move by Arizona....solid, short term solution
Just filled a huge hole.

5th rounder.

He's not the Ertz of old but he's looked good this year when given the chance and Arizona has NO ONE at TE now that Maxx Williams is gone.

Eagles still have Goedert, but they arent making the playoffs. Makes sense for them too.

If the Eagles are scrapping ship, We'll take Fletcher Cox to go please.

Eagles could clean up in the draft....IF they actually draft well.

fwiw
I think Wentz is about middle of the pack in most rankings so far....in that 15-18 range
He's 15th in Passer Rating
He's 17th in Tds-Turnovers

The problem is that several below him are either rookies or very young....so big upside for them

 

[Stash]

At 1-4 you gotta figure they will probably sit him soon after midseason to avoid giving up a top 10 pick.

If it conveys to a #2, it would still likely be the the 30's, which is still a pretty nice get for Philadelphia

Absolutely. I do credit Roseman for one thing. He’s managed to turn negative QB situations into a measure of positive. First with Sam Bradford and then with Wentz. Got out of bad deals and managed to get picks in the process.

 

[Grevus]

Fletcher Cox?

I think I'd rather have Hargrave

 

[links18]

That seems cheap.

 

[Carson]

Not just 3 first round picks, but if the season ended today they'd have 3 top 10 picks.

You guys are crazy if you think the Colts are going to keep playing Wentz if it’s a top tier pick. This would mean their record is bad and no chance at playoffs. He’s not going to net that high of a pick

This isn’t a shot at you personally. Just generally speaking

 

[Stash]

Fletcher Cox will be worth some very serious consideration by our FO, in my opinion. Not sure what he'd cost at his age, but he's still a monster

Go look at his contract.

You would have to turn the salary cap setting off.

This ultra conservative in FA front office needs to start making moves. Other teams are getting better while we are standing still.

Our improvement is on the IR and waiting to return

What would you suggest?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I’m wondering what else they can sell off?

I wonder would a contender look at Fletcher?

It’s important though not to do something stupid. And it’s also worth noting that any move you make now won’t really have impact on this season.
