The Eagles are said to be looking for, in the words of one well-placed source, "a Matthew Stafford package," in return for Wentz.

Man, this whole thing went down the tubes with quickness.

 

[ShortRound]

WENTZ for TRUBISKY Straight up.

Wait for it...
Wentz backs up Foles.

What a fun rodeo Philly has been the last month. Kinda sad, I don't want Wentz to leave the NFC East!

I'm curious though, are they really planning to build around Hurts? Cause they do have that 6th pick...

The bots/scalpers already got all of the Staffords Detroit had available.

They could be looking but they should not be getting.

Wentz for Foles would be interesting.
If some GM gives up a 1st, let alone two of em, for Wentz he is putting his job on the line.

I have always been on the Frank Reich Colts side of this trade and it makes the most sense:
AFC team
Old QB Coach...when Wentz was balling
Colts have cap space to absorb QB contract

their statue is stupid.

I listen to a lot of Philly sports talk because I am from the area and I am a sixers fan.

this is a tweet from one of the radio personalities.




Also, part of the rumor is that the eagles would
Get the bears first rounder. And bears would get the eagles second rounder.

the bears first rounder is like the 20th pick and the eagles have a high 2nd. So it would be like moving up about 16 spots with the pick.

But what happened to CAP HELL???

Next time anyone tells you a players contract destroys said teams Cap since the last to collective bargaining agreement the Owners have protected themselves....not getting deals is either cheap owner or Lazy GM...

No.



From the Athletic:

"Presuming any Wentz trade would be completed before his 2021 salary becomes guaranteed on the third day of the new league year (March 19), the Eagles will incur a cap hit of $33.8 million, which would be the largest in NFL history, a bitter pill to swallow for a team already projected to be over the salary cap."
​

I could see the Eagles decide to tank the 2021 season.

Does a priest need to be called?

 

[Risen Star]

This must have been what it felt like when Babe Ruth got shipped to the Yankees.

The curse of the Wentzino?

 

[Risen Star]

Do you guys know of any Bears forums with a likes feature?

I’m ok with the eagles going another 100 years without winning a Super Bowl.

 

[HungryLion]

You know the eagles trading Wentz and asking for Foles as part of the package.... is just one more slap to Wentz’s face.

quite frankly I love it.
