Good point.Intriguing premise, but yeah despite trying to trade for him last year the context has changed with a wr heavy draft approaching.

Good counterpoint.How many surefire #1 type receivers are in this draft?
The Eagles need a #1, not a complimentary guy to add to their depth.
They draft #21, which is likely out of reach for Jeudy or Lamb. I don’t view Ruggs or the Colorado reciever as #1s.

I understand my friend, but again, the egirls aren’t going to trade their best offensive player just to get a WR. Even a good one like Coop. Not gonna happen.Because the Eagles don’t have any wide receivers unless you’re banking on the aging Jeffrey and DeSean Jackson.
If Cooper is tagged he can be traded. The Cowboys get something for effectively nothing. Goedert is the up and comer and their passing attack has been one-dimensional without real threats at wide reciever.
sure, I just meant in the context of being willing to trade for amari previously. But despite a number one making the most sense with ertz and goedert a dynamic complimentary piece can still have a big impact.
Trade idea...presuming we don’t franchise Dak
Rationale
- Use the franchise tag on Cooper
- Trade Cooper to the Eagles for either Ertz or Goedert (Eagles would likely offer Ertz over Goedert)
Cowboys may have some reluctance to signing Cooper for a long term contract worth ~$19-20M per year.
The Eagles actually offered a 2nd round pick to the Raiders for Cooper before the Cowboys outbid them with a 1st rounder. The point being is the Eagles have had recent interest in Cooper and in need of a #1.
Ertz will be 30 when the season starts while Goedert is just 24. I would guess the Eagles are looking to get a real threat at WR to pair with Wentz. Cooper could immediately renegotiate for a longer contract once traded.
Ertz would give the Cowboys a proven playmaking TE to pair with Dak. Dallas could also possibly grab Jeudy or Lamb should they drop to 17 or make a move to grab one if one is in striking distance.
Ertz is only due $6.6M in 2020 and $8.5M 2021 and then becomes a FA.
Dallas would be saving money by making this move and could utilize the extra cash on signing its own players or signing FAs.
We finally have a top 5 WR and you want to trade him away for a TE?Trade idea...presuming we don’t franchise Dak

I’d trade coakley for ErtzI threw up a little bit in my mouth. Yes, this thread just made a grown man baby puke in his own mouth. You don't trade with the freaking Eagles.
exactly.Lol, never mind the part where we’d be getting better?
exactly.
