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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
