The Eagles were in the hunt for Ramsey?

[cowboy_ron]

You have to hit on the draft. Big name players and free agents are way to expensive and too much draft capital to get them.

Hit on the draft and keep churning the roster and not allow players to hose you in their contract year like dlaw just did........that sets your team back.

I just heard on the NFL Sirius channel that the Eagles were trying to make that trade for Jalen Ramsey until the very end. I did not hear what they were willing to give up for him, but it shows the Eagles are willing to make a big move to get a player to help their team. Ramsey is a really good player but he is not Dieon Sanders, IMO. Still, its good the Cowboys won;t have to face him twice each year.

That trade was wacky. Two 1st round picks for Ramsey and he'll want a mega-contract after the season. He'll probably hold out for a QB contract.

It was an All-In move by the Rams.

 

[smitty313]

The eagles fans wanted him and didn’t care about the draft picks because other than Wentz they have missed on every first round pick in the last 10 years.

Fletcher Cox was pretty damn good pick

Awesome. Argue with them. They were the ones call 94.1 WIP and saying it.

 

[Stash]

With what was given up, I'm glad we were never in it.

That's exactly what I was going to say.

I'll add this:

Knowing the draft cost - and now being stuck paying Ramsey everything he wants on his next contract, would anybody actually want to pay that price?

 

[ghst187]

Yep I was pretty relieved the eagles didn’t get him, I knew they were trying.
I don’t like Ramsey but he’s one of the best DBs in the game right now

 

[Creeper]

i honestly don’t know if he makes the eagles better.

short term, yes...but for that price? It would’ve hurt them long term and I’m guessing they agree.

They gave up a lot to get Wentz and that didn't seem to slow them down.

 

[Creeper]

The eagles fans wanted him and didn’t care about the draft picks because other than Wentz they have missed on every first round pick in the last 10 years.

In the last 10 years the Eagles drafted Brandon Graham DE, Danny Watkins OG, Fletcher Cox DT, Lane Johnson OT, Marcus Smith LB, Nelson Agholor WR, Carson Wentz QB, Derek Barnett DE, and Andre Dillard. Thee are a couple of busts in that list but the rest of the list includes some really good players.

 

[Big_D]

We need a DT. Some fans been saying this for years. 2 1sts and 4th? Crazy. That’s 14 years of rookie salaries passed up. I’d probably make that move for Donald right now, but certainly not a CB.

 

[cowboy_ron]

They love chasing big name players, kinda surprised they didn't try harder.

 

[Flamma]

I never think it's a bad idea passing up on trading two firsts and a fourth for a DB. That's more than if you poached someone off the franchise tag. You see how often that happens, right? But hey, if it puts you over the top and gets you a SB, then ok. But it's risky. Rams might not even make the playoffs.

 

[Blue&Silver]

They were and Eagles fans thought that they were going to get him and were upset when they didn't. Heard that the Eagles front office was calling every day to try and get Ramsey.

They apparently offered 2 number one picks but were turned down because the jags figured they'd be low in the draft because the Eagles were supposed to be a Super Bowl contender. That was the excuse. The Rams traded an extra 4th round pick but they are just as good if not better than the Eagles ATM.

This was known. It was between them and the Rams...

 

[mattjames2010]

Ramsey actually tackles.

Hilarious how Sanders got so upset over Peters being compared to him, and now Peters is traded away in part because he's not physical enough.

I really wish Sanders and his ego played in this era of football, I think he would have been burnt toast often as well.

 

[Rayman70]

Ramsey would have been the end of the Iggles HC. He's a cancer a malcontent. Rams will regret giving up the farm.

 

[MikeB80]

Sounds like he wanted to be traded because someone in the front office was mean to him? Im just going to assume it was Tom Coughlin....I hope it was.

Sunny LA over the filth box philly 7 days a week.

 

[viman96]

Birds offered a 1st and 2nd but the Rams offer was better.

IMO Ramsey does not fit Philly's scheme and would have created issues on how they play defense.

There was a thread about it a few weeks ago. Rumor was ertz was part of the attempt

Really??? I know I should pay more attention to what happens in Philly, but I don't.
