Ronald Darby on trade block?

Looks like the Eagles are looking to unload contracts after the Bennett acquisition. Rumors floating around that Darby will be the one dealt. I know some are not pleased with Bradberry and Worley. Darby has 1 year $1M left on his contract.

i'd let capt go and move worley to nickel if we could get an improvement. I'd say it's worth it for just next year and if he proves worthy, worry about resigning him next year.

Capt has a contract that makes that tough.  In addition, I would go with Corn Elder, sight unseen, before moving Worley there---but that is just me.

Yea idk about a third knowing that the contract is only a year.

Seriously doubt that we cut Captain based on that salary unless it was a roster limit or comp pick type thing.

If we did move away from Worley at CB, I'd honestly be curious if he could transition to FS. He seems pretty decent when he has his head upfield on the QB.

OK, here is the upside--we would be able to draft another position in the first or second round.

He is an experienced, #1 CB that could allow Bradberry to move to #2.  He is cheap this year--we could lock him down next year after Kalils and Davis are gone.

Changed my mind.  Do this deal. With limited cap room this year, it is worth it.

Eagle viewpoint: http://www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-rumor-birds-trading-cornerback-third-round-pick/

Additional reason to do this: He is 24 years old with 3 years of experience.  Had 3 picks in 2017 in about 8 games--coming off an injury.

While my initial reaction was not positive, the Eagles are trying to get something for him to avoid losing him next season.  Bad side?  All of our CBs (Bradberry, Worley, and Darby would be getting new deals in 2019.

    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
    • If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
