Twitter: Eagles trading Ertz to AZ

[Joe Realist]

Great move for Cards. They are the team to beat in the NFC.

 

[Joe Realist]

While Philly appears to be packing it in the Cardinals are going all in. Added another weapon for Murray.

he in last year of contract and they will likely extend the other TE.

I wonder would a contender look at Fletcher?

I just looked at his contract and cap hit. I don’t see how they could move him even if they wanted to. It’s UGLY!

 

[jrumann59]

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

At teh very least command respect from opposing OC.

However, you feel about the wisdom of their moves, you have to admit their front office isn't afraid to make big, bold moves. They have evaluated the situation and decided they have to unload & restock. I think they are right.

Philly continues to get really good value trades. The they totally underwhelm when using their picks.

I figured it was gonna be bad. Sucks he has to stay.

However, if they felt good about their chances this season they wouldn’t have traded him during the season. Anytime a team is looking to stock pile picks this early into the season they’re looking ahead to next year.

The Colts and Dolphins are going to win some games down the road. So will the Eagles. I won't be shocked if the Eagles have no top 10 picks unless they trade with someone.

 

[KingintheNorth]

I do like how the Cardinals addressed this. They like their chances this year, lost a valuable player and went out and replaced the void.

Cheap Stepehen would just tell you how the random undrafed FA we signed has looked really good in practice and will step up to replace our injured player. Many here would lap it up too.

 

[Doomsday101]

was listening to Ertz interview just now, excited to go to the Cards but was in tears about leaving Philly. It also sounded as if others knew this was going to happen before Ertz knew it.

 

[Biag]

Eagles are blowing it up.

At this point they already have THREE top 10 picks.

Howie will find a way to screw them up. They can’t draft worth a damn. I live in the area and other then refusing to run the ball that is the biggest complaint.

 

[speedkilz88]

Go look at his contract.

The receiving team would be getting a bargain. Million dollars until end of 2023. Eagles post june would have 11 million in dead cap but save a 2 million.

Comparing OTC (which I looked at) with spotrac, they have different numbers for 2022.

We need to start rooting for Miami and Indy.

I'm rooting against Indy, hopefully sitting Wentz keeping their first round pick

 

[Ranched]

They're supposedly rebuilding & they got rid of the best TE?! Sounds like a Chip Kelly move.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

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.

We got a 2 and a 4 for Mcnabb when he was toast, a 2 and DRC for Kolb when he was nothing, a 2 for AJ Feeley, and a 1st rounder for Sam Bradford.

QB factory, or so every other team believes

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Second best TE

 

[JoeKing]

I wish our FO would wake up. We can't go into the playoffs with AB and Lewis as our CB2/CB3.

Is your point we can't win with them despite being 4-1 with them?

 

[Ranching]

Eagles have some draft picks coming up for next year's draft. 3 first rounds I believe

Screw the Eagles..

 

[TwoCentPlain]

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

You would have given up a CB, Jarwin, and a 5th round pick for Ertz? Seriously? Do you even know what year it is? And you are sure the Eagles would have said no? The Eagles would have laughed so hard and took that deal in a second.

I wouldn’t trade Jarwin straight up for Ertz. I wouldn’t trade a 5th rounder for Ertz straight up. I wouldn’t trade one of the Cowboys CBs straight up for Ertz. I wouldn’t trade McKeon for Ertz straight up.

I believe Ertz is in the final year of his contract.

 

[KJJ]

This move isn’t helping the development of Hurts any. Have to wonder if Philly isn’t starting to have some doubts about him. Could be trying to gain as many draft picks as they can to possibly move up for a QB. They might not have to move up if they decide to tank.
