The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero reports the Eagles are "willing to trade" slot CB Brandon Boykin.

 

Boykin is another Andy Reid carryover, and coach Chip Kelly is intent on building the Eagles his way. The former fourth-round pick is just 24 and has finished second and 19th, respectively, in PFF's cornerback rankings each of the past two seasons. At 5'10/185, he's a slot corner-only, but a good one. Salguero mentions the Dolphins as a team that would have interest in Boykin.

With the team's stated desire to move Bene back into the slot, I doubt this is something Gettleman would be interested in doing. He's also on the final year of his rookie deal and would figure to get a deal like Cap got in free agency which is another thing I doubt Gettleman has any interest in doing. Combine that with the fact it will cost a draft pick to get him and it's pretty much a sure bet he isn't coming to Carolina.

I've never seen anything but speculation that the Panthers want to move Bene back to nickel.  It's a lot harder to find a quality outside CB than it is a quality nickelback.  With as well as Bene played outside last season, I'd just roll with him there and find a new nickel.

For a 5th ..why not. More competition and we have two comp picks in that round.

Bene has won me over but his durability concerns me a bit. Hopefully this offseason training will remedy that.

I know they want to move him back to the nickle but DG said he's also more than capable to stay on the outside

if called upon. Dude is small but has a mean vertical.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
