Eagles making young safety available for trade

Albert Breer reporting...

Parks is 26, 6'1 / 208 and signed a one-year contract with the Eagles this season after playing for the Broncos for the last few years. Speculation is he's being let go because there's a "logjam" at safety.

I'm not that familiar with him but I have read a few people say they're surprised the Eagles are parting with him as opposed to someone else. 

I can't really say yea or nay, but given our safety situation, it caught my attention.

I have to admit that factored into my thought process.

First thing that crossed my mind when I read the title of the thread. Could be that Schwartz just is putting DBs in a position to fail.

I’d offer one of the compensatory 6ths we’re projected to get in exchange for their 7th and Parks and see if they go for it.

Worst case scenario is we drop down like 20 spots at the end of the draft if he sucks and this would be worth that risk.

I'd offer them our second round pick this draft for him, if they agree to take our entire OL except for Moton and Okung.  I doubt that would be enough for them to take the trade.

I don't know anything about Will Parks, but at least he is young enough to be part of the future if he does work out.  If we could get him for a low round choice (maybe what Bartin said), we are just betting he is better than somebody we would pick up with a late round pick AND if he does look even decent, we can re-sign him.

For a 6th round pick sign me up

I'm glad to hear we may be getting a late comp pick or two next year.  We don't have a 7th (due to some trade with the Bills iirc), and if he's worth a 6th then ok, but I'd hate to think we'd only have 5 picks in next years draft (unless we trade back).

found a projection for comp picks for next year here.

so we should get a 6th and 7th if everything is ok.  With that said, I'm cool with trading our 6th, which would be in the top 15 picks (and a comp 6th being at the end of the 6th) if we think this guy is worth it.  I'd rather offer a 2022 7th, or make it conditional.

If we think he's worth it.  Otherwise, I think we drafted well this year, and I'm in no hurry to win this season.  If he's a future piece, ok, but if he's unathletic and has tackling issues, we already have plenty of those guys.

I don’t see much point in trading away any assets at this point, since we’re halfway through the season and not a playoff contender.  Now if they want to do a player for player trade then maybe, but even then, not sure he’d be the right target for that scenario either.

Burris was solid prior to the injury and were getting a good look at some young guys who’d otherwise never have a chance to see live action.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      The NFL eats giant bad contracts all the time. I looked and the 3rd starts at 6.7 at pick 67 and 6.1 at pick 96. With the way the NFL cap keeps going up and how they all work the cap it really shouldn't be an issue for any team that can get 1 year out of rookies.  Maybe it would cut down on teams taking giant leaps on guys they shouldn't? This would have got Hurney fired in 3 years lol

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
