Jaelan Phillips traded to Eagles

[Rayman70]

They were already the class of our division. Now they will be SB contenders. I wish we had a well run team.

 

[Stash]

I would’ve loved Phillips and don’t mind the pick

It’s the contract next year you have to give up

And that’s the point.

Roseman is the best GM in the league and he deserves all the credit for their success. When he seeing an issue with his roster, he fixes it, even if it means he made a mistake, something Jerry refuses to do.

 

[StarOfGlory]

Talented player for sure, but that injury history is not good. If he stays healthy Philly gets another good piece.

 

[Ironicalicon]

It’s a higher price than I would be willing to pay for a half season rental.

I’m glad it isn’t Dallas paying that price.

I bet they find a way to re-sign him.

 

[speedkilz88]

You give up a 3rd you better think you can sign him. He's the best player they've traded for by far.

 

[Stash]

Yeah if we made that trade the board would have said we where fleeced. The Eagles traded what we traded for Pickens for a half season rental.

Thank you for bringing up Pickens. I was about to do that myself.

Compare what the Cowboys are getting on that return and it’s a no- contest win for Dallas.

Side note, teams are not giving away players. The only way the Cowboys get any of the top guys is their first round picks will have to be in the deal (Crosby, Simmons, Williams). 2nd round pick + for Trey Hendrickson.

I’m honestly shocked that a team that’s out of it essentially having a fire sale was able to get a 3rd round pick for a guy who’s only under contract for another 8 games.

 

[Stash]

I bet they find a way to re-sign him.

He’s making $13 million under his option year.

Think he’s worth that?

This

I believe they had 3 3rds and multiple other picks

If we only had 1 3rd and 1 4th and 1 5th I’d definitely feel differently about this. But…

Let’s say we give up a 3 for him, he helps our pass rush make a deep playoff run and then we don’t re-sign him. Getting a 4th back in FA in 4 months will still be a decent overall move

$6.6 million at this point but I wonder if Miami is picking up part of the tab.

 

[Blue&Silver]

Talented player for sure, but that injury history is not good. If he stays healthy Philly gets another good piece.

Exactly. It also looks like he was at best under Fangio in Miami. I see why they traded for him. If he stays healthy it looks like he's going to be a nice addition back under a competent DC and lining up next to Davis, and Carter.

 

[Pola_pe_a]

Define ‘some of it’.

They’re certainly not getting a 3rd round comp pick.

If he leaves and signs an average deal they get a 4th back. If he signs a top of the market deal they get a 3rd.

At worst he's a half year rental that they spent a 3rd on and got a 4th back. All while Miami is paying a portion of his salary.

Low risk signing.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

If they win another Super Bowl nobody is going to be saying too much for a rental

 

[Stash]

I guess we’ll find out…

 

[visionary]

I’m glad it isn’t Dallas paying that price.

Doesnt make sense for us unless you sign him long term

Makes sense for the Eagles as a rental to win another SB. The last one was won by their defense not letting Mahomes do anything. They are trying to get back to that

Low risk signing.

Absolutely. I listen to a few cowboy podcasts and most of them had floated the idea of trading for Jaelan and taking him for test drive. But, Howie, of course, went out and actually did it.

I don't know the player. It just seems like they find a way to do what they want.

Just wait… Jerry will overpay for a worse player
