It's a great trade for them giving up a 3 and a 5. He's the most talented player they've had in the secondary since Dawkins, but my question is who plays the other 3 positions??? I don't see a starting caliber player amongst them.

They can probably bail after two years. Contract looks more than fine.

Oy.

Think it crossed Jerry's mind to explore Slay? Of course it didn't.

I don't like the deal. I'm glad we're not the ones who made it. A 3rd and 5th rounder and top of the market money? Yeah, that's not smart business. If they were doing that, the Eagles would have been smarter to have signed Byron Jones with no draft compensation. And we would have been better off keeping Jones, and our picks.

Stop it. Malcolm Jenkins was a beast in his prime for them.

They were willing to pay out that contract but didn’t get Bradberry or Byron is a win for me

Yeah I honestly forgot. Because it seems like Slay would guard the opposing teams number one but he was getting work from Gallup too.

Eagles weren’t the first game Coop was on the sidelines for crucial plays though. Gallup was lining up as the 1 a bit on Detroit

I consider Slay the better player, but the other guys were free agents and involved no draft compensation.

The Eagles gave away 3rd and 5th round picks for the 'privilege' of then having to pay a 29-year-old-corner top of the market money. It's more recklessness on their part. These 'quick fixes' will continue to dog them, now and in the future.

Highest by AAV but it's a 3 year deal where I have little doubt Philly can pull a parachute at some point before he even sees that $50MM.
