Eagles trade C Cam Jurgens to Ravens

And unlike the NBA stepping in to stop Sam Hinkie with the 76ers, the Eagles will pull somehow pull off the tank.

Teams do it every year. Short of saying "hey guys, we're tanking!" It's kinda hard to prove. Especially if guys are constantly "hurt"

Wouldn't be surprised if they trade people on the defensive side of the ball. Zach Baun's stock has never been higher, for example. He could seriously be a difference-maker for the Cowboys. Mailata would net a huge haul, but he could well still be there when they're climbing up again. It'd take a lot, but I think we've already seen Howie take advantage of the 'greater fool theory' when it came to the Jurgens trade--it only takes one team willing to pay the price.

Baltimore lost there top three centers to injury and starting a guy who never played center before, in the NFL or college. Desperate people do desperate things.

I tell you the Ravens deserve some criticism, not for necessarily trading for Cam, but they had a better C than Cam last year, an All pro and had the 5th year of his rookie deal to excercize (so they had leverage over him). They declined his 5th year and didn't work out a deal, and he walked to the Raiders (Tyler Linderbaum).
I know they'll get a 3rd rounder for losing Lindy, but they paid a 2nd for Cam, who is not as good a C and Linderbaum.
Lindy and a 2nd >>> Cam and 3rd. Money is pretty close.

Cue the overreact. Ravens desperately need help at center. That’s all this is and not “4d chess by Howie”.

I mean getting a future 2nd round pick for a guy that was battling injuries, talked about retirement in the offseason and was close to getting benched is a stone cold steal.

Dumping a starting OL this early doesn't jibe with signing starting DTs to $60M/yr in new $ this offseason. Their cap is a mess for years to come. We're watching the end of this 5 year or so run unless they draft extraordinarily well in the near future.
