Will be disappointed if he is not WRs 4-6

Agree…said they were giving him opportunities at Returns and as a Gunner….feels like they are carving out a spot for him on the team.

i don't coach... don't watch preseason... I don't pick the roster. Last year Pickett was #2... McKee was #3. Last year we won the Superbowl This year McKee is #2. I would prefer not to trade the #2... especially at the dirt cheap price and team control for 2 years. I'm thinking of both not having a #2 now.... and also having to spend $$ for a #2.

I don't seen McKee's trade value declining. Either teams will see him as a potential starter and pay for him, or they won't... I don't see it changing if he stays with the Eagles this season. I'm not rushing to trade him this season. Makes zero sense to me. NONE.

That's Eagles conversation without talking about myself.... try it some time. Nobody cares about you stating McKee was the best option for #2 last year. The Eagles won the SB and ended up doing really well at QB ... all 3 spots all season. It couldn't have worked out any better at all. If you look at what they gave up and received in return for Pickett... and the $$ of all the contracts. The Eagles were able to spend absolute minimum at backup QB and have received quality play. Simple look at the results last year... the only downside from Pickett aside from Smith dropping the TD pass in their loss vs Washington, was the last pass in the SB that could have helped me win the block pool if they got the first down to finish the game. McKee was able to help the team running the scout team. These things absolutely are part of why teams win.

Yeah some of that was a bit fortunate however. Pickett was the lesser option of the two. Like I was telling you all along…but was locked in ahead of McKee. So many possible scenarios where that actually could have backfired on us if things didn’t play out the way they did last season. But then…now you don’t want to trade away our number two. It would be so much easier to do if….now Rosie didn’t trade away Pickett for peanuts. So really back to back dumb moves by Rosie with Pickett. But…he got DTR in the deal. So….if DTR keeps stepping up like he has been? Then it makes the McKee much easier to part with. Hope that scenario works out.

Glad you are on board finally with McKee…but unfortunately…like usual….you’re too late. He’s gone with just medium play this next PS game.

And we still wouldn’t have traded Booker if he was such a huge piece of the rotation… We are a team that values the DL and the depth/rotation.

If we were willing to trade Booker means he was expendable. Why was Booker deemed expendable the guys behind him be it Ty, Gabe, Young combo of the three….

See…you are thinking "we” …as in the past…or others actually. It’s now Fangio…not the past ..other than last season. Sure he values Dline….but we saw a massive change in Fangio views the entire D. Paying huge money to a LB now…not like "we”. Drafted Q in the first…not like "we.” After first round CB…traded up to draft another CB back to back in the early second with DeJean…not like "we.” Then came right back and drafted Makuba a S…in the second…not like "we.”

You gotta catch up man…your in danger of being that guy going to the gas station expecting to pay 1.50 a gallon.

Don’t see McKee getting traded this season unless some team vastly over pays like 1st or 2nd round pick. Next year on when McKee is on his final year then maybe since then you have McCord in year two and possibly still have DTR with another year under his belt in the system

Is that vastly overpaying for a starting QB? But thanks for the reply as it seems several of us on near on the same page. We can get a second round pick for McKee I’m feeling very strongly. So he’s gone. I was hoping closer to two second round picks. I mean honestly….this is exactly time for Rosie to shine. He’s gotta get the bidding war rolling. I have faith in him being able to squeeze some excellent juice out of this trade.

Appreciate the feedback. It’s hard to part with a quality player that’s cheap. Can totally understand that. It’s not easy decisions all the way around. You gotta consider one more bit of info in all your thinking also however. If teams are trying to trade for McKee to be their starter…then you have to consider the players position also,not position like QB, like he would be missing out on the chance of a lifetime to get his own team to start for and opportunity to go earn the just outrageous fortune that awaits successful starting QBs.

Let’s jump ahead to McKee’s extension happening next offseason…first it possibly can be earned for any NFL player. What’s his extension look like if he doesn’t play any regular season games this year when we trade him in the offseason? Versus…he could go out and earn up to 50 mil a season with most anything better than just serviceable play as a starter all season.

Next offseason, will a team trade all that for McKee AND extend him at some huge money?

The Colts might be in a quandry. They possess two premium first round picks at QB that do not demonstrate the capability to lead a successfull offense.

What are they thinking? What are they getting for over $23M in cap space this season?

Just suppose Howie were to get an inquiry regarding McKee's availability? What response do you think he would give?

What would YOU want?

If Hurts remains healthy, McKee is merely a very fortunate insurance policy...both cheap and talented...possibly for the next two seasons.

Ty Warren was another highly talented and premium prospect. He could possibly develop into a perennial All-Pro. How often do they come allong? Who will our TE be next season?

I'm just saying...

I’m listening. Feel like now we are beyond "suppose Rosie gets a call inquiring”….I’ve moved well beyond to Rosie maximizing the bidding war. You’re on a quality idea…wouldn’t stop there…gotta weigh the multiple potential trade option ideas. Could make a case for more than just Indy being interested in McKee…right now. We need a top negotiator to force the most desperate….oh we got the right guy to make this happen. GM…get GMing. Dickerson’s injury has me considering a G…or heck a C. Dickerson was our best G or C I’d argue. Sorry bad thoughts…bad JuJu….but does put to the forefront the understanding of injuries are going to happen….whoever…whatever position…..throw it on potential McKee trade returns. Quentin Nelson from the Colts? 🤤🤑😼Just how sick would that be? Imagine if Dickerson was only out a little while and we had both? We could lose Saquan and have Shipley break the all time rushing record Saquan set last season. We would reverse NFL evolution…ok ok..let me slow down….the possibilities are exciting to consider. What can we get for giving you a franchise QB…under contract for two years dirt cheap? VALUABLE VALUABLE VALUABLE!!!!! It’s all aligned….age, quality, contract, position….QB factory struck gold….AGAIN!!!!

I gotta think on this idea. Trade them their starting QB and several high picks for Warren…hmmm…I do really like Warren….but feels like giving up way too much here. We’re discussing possibly even trading McKee for two second round picks…after that very strong PS game and the offseason where we ditched Pickett clearly showing how impressed we are with McKee.

4 second round picks and 3 third round picks. Think I’d rather take my chances swinging with 7 day two draft picks.

I look at it this way

If a team wants McKee it's to be a starter

What is a team willing to give up to get a starting QB?

I'd say a 1st isn't out of the question and if no one wants to pay it the Eagles have a really good back up QB

It’s better than just that. Starting QB…not making 55 million per season. DIRT CHEAP ..starting QB under contract for two seasons that’s young and full of potential.

If a starting QB is worth a first round pick..then I’d say saving 40 million on acquiring this starting QB could also be worth a first round pick. I don’t know..it’s very valuable…any which way you look at absolutely everything aligning with our QB factory production.

Im borderline getting out of control here…or am I? It’s potentially a dream trade opportunity for a franchise. What did the Niners give up so they could draft Lance the done nothing ever QB? Teams been trading a mint to get hold of a starting QB…they have to open up the vault for. McKee can’t even be paid yet. Some lucky franchise gets a whole season dirt cheap to actually figure out all that before requiring that next step investment. Value..value…cha ching..cha ching

Jalen Hurts, Kenny Pickett, Tanner McKee, DTR, McCord…moved out Pickett…about to move out McKee…got Hurts bringing home Lombardis…DTR come along playing the best ball of his career…McCord already in the building next…..winning championships while adding future draft picks to the arsenal…THAT’S WHERE EAGLES ARE AT!!!!! We got here brothers!!

Could it be possible that the lesser QB is actually better option as our backup QB? DTR maybe not as good as McKee right now…but maybe could be argued has a higher potential ceiling than McKee. More importantly for our specific situation…DTR could be argued as the better fit. Like the O could remain the same without drastic adaptation any moments we need DTR to come in for short term needs. Starter goes down for the season? You could change up the entire O to fit next QB. But you don’t want to do all that just for one or two games.

Why do you want to " part" with McKee???? Why are you in such a rush to get rid of him? It's ideal to have a quality backup QB at minimum $$$ and team control for 2 years.

Lets say you play out the situation all the way.... every time..... then look.... you keep McKee another 2 years... he signs with a team in 2027... you get a comp pick in 2028. Why is that bad? Yuo have his services for 2 more years.... then lets say the same thing with McCord.... he plays all the way here and signs in 2029 with another team and we get a 2030 comp pick...

You have your cheap quality backup QB all the way until 2030... and you get 2 comp picks. Why is that a problem?

You imagine how much more you can do with a roster not having to pay legit backup QB money???? With a rolling cap! Lets just say $5 million without inflation.... from 2025 to 2029... 5 seasons that's $25 mil you save.... but we all know it's way more than that. And add the inflation. Then ask yourself... are you" all in" like you say.... but then why would you want to give up a quality #2 QB? Makes zero sense

Maybe " Rosie" should learn from the great John Lynch on how to invest in QB?

It was fortunate the lesser QB we didn’t need that was forced ahead of the better option we already possessed wasn’t needed to play a larger role. Actually made a trade to make us a lesser team. Locked in our third best QB as the guy coming in as number two.

You in one breath defending pushing McKee back to third string…then the next breath aren’t willing to consider cashing in on your third string QB.

Seems like I listen and consider almost every word posted here instead. Even respond to much of it as proof for others…would say proof to you…but that obviously isn’t to be accomplished.
