Eagles Approached CAR About Trading D Jackson

Recommended Posts

My assumption is that if Kelly is truly desperate to get rid of him, he'll find a way to entice G-Man. There's no way we'll trade for him with the contract Jackson currently possesses.

 

Jackson does not have that much guaranteed money, so a trade would bite us.  I am not good at figuring it out, but it makes sense to me that we trade a big contract to him (Godfrey) with little guaranteed money instead of a draft pick.

 

Gettlemen wants those draft picks to build a team. 

 

In this draft, the 92nd pick (third rounder) is probably about the same as a low second/high third.  This draft is solid.

Why can we not do to his contract what the patriots did to revis deal? Or what the aints did with byrd?

 

Didn't you know? The Panthers are the only team in the league that operates with a salary cap. The Patriots, Colts, Broncos, Eagles, Saints, and the rest of last years playoff teams don't have salary caps.

 

Next year, Cam will be cut because we can not afford him.

There is no way we could take on his scheduled 10.7mil due this year.... Unless, the GMan's Cut Hammer is still strong..

 

 

 

 

actually we do.  We could trade Hardy, get Jackson and 3 million more in cap space, plus retain all our picks

and know we have a #1 receiver on our team heading into the draft.

Yeah, the guy who knew Jordan Gross would retire before he announced it and a guy who knew Steve Smith would definitely be released or traded two weeks before it happened.

who didn't get Gross possibly retiring from his post game int following the 9ers loss? & how hard was it to figure out we could be losing Smith after Gettleman spoke of his career in past tense at the Combine?.......oh! I didn't need a billvoth for that

DG didn't use the past tense, you'd know that if you didn't suck at English.

Voth is obviously well informed, despite your best attempts to show otherwise. There's no reason to think he isn't up to date on this scenario.

Hmmm.... Hardy for Jax and their first.  I would do that.  We pick up Jax and draft WR and OT in rd 1.

    • Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season 
    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
