Eagles making young safety available for trade

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.

      Caleb Williams has more passing yards in 7 attempts than our QB did in 4 quarters.

      Red Zone T-Mac Targets?!?!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just looking at the box score and now realizing it goes even further than the red zone usage. On the first drive of the game, T-Mac was targeted 3 times, Brycen twice, and Renfrow once. Which means for the remainder of the game, Bryce only had 9 targets to his WRs.   And yes, I get it, we won by 30 in a shutout, but it's not like the game was a blowout the whole time where we were just running it to preserve the lead.  But just like I felt all throughout 2015, we might have been winning games, but it was in spite of the coaching staff that season, not because of them.  They made soooooo many play calls and game plans that made no sense and the players seemed to constantly bail them out, and it was frustrating when fans would get upset at asking these questions just because we were winning. It's also not like we have a clear cut long term franchise QB solution, we had 17 games (and now just 14 more) to prove Bryce can either be the guy or not be the guy, so even in games like this, we need to be throwing it more and throwing it downfield more to see what he can be. I said all off-season, we're not contenders this year, winning or losing doesn't matter to me, it's about finding out if Bryce should be our long term guy or if we should move on after this year.  Games like this are nice for the win, but they hurt our ability to evaluate him properly.
