Which we still don't know if either guy behind McKee is anything more than that. If you want my opinion now... I think very highly likely that one of the other two end up on the practice squad.

However, to get to the Practice Squad they have to 1) clear waivers, and 2) agree to sign a Practice Squad contract with the Eagles. We have lost players due to waiver claims, and due to their preferring to sign with another team.

That is true if the only variable is onfield performance, but that isn’t the only variable. Contract status is another key variable. A player with two years of control at a bargain price is worth more than a player with one year of control at a bargain price.

Further, a player with a looming contract negotiation (and impending UFA status) is worth less than a player without those looming events.

Assumption... if a teams as you assume sees McKee as a starter... then they will pay, regardless of one year or two year left on rookie deal. My point, teams have guys in place now, much easier to get value once teams know they don't have their guy. Right now just questions.

Why do you assume McCord wouldn't clear waivers?

Because he let the NCAA in passing yards.

Agreed, but that is changing the prop.

So we lose McCord... is that a big deal .... or the other guy? If we are willing to cut them, why do yo think such high demand for either? Really assuming a lot

You keep changing the prop ... the way I see now... teams will try to low ball us... not over pay.

So Brady got hurt the first game of 2008... after the perfect season. Right into the knee game one. Matt Cassell took over and led the Pats to the playoffs. Was traded the following year for a good amount

you don't remember Brady getting suspended for deflating the balls? Really?

No, don’t remember either. Did they win the Super Bowl either of those years?

That depends on whether Hurts gets injured and McKee gets to play. If he rides the pine the whole season, his value goes down.

Absolutely disagree with this

Yes, 2016, they year before we won our SB.... 9 years ago... really just like yesterday. Seriously, are you playing dumb on this?

If they lowball then there will be no trade. The original proposal includes a 1st Round or early 2nd Round pick.

I didn’t establish the prop. It was proposed by a Blog poster.

Many assets, like stocks and bonds realize a higher value if sold rather than retained until maturity. Talk to any stocks and bonds trader. They will confirm that.

Yes... a 2026 first round or early second round pick.... which we won't know where they fall until after this season... I agree.

Football is a business. Just like any other business. With assets and liabilities.

You don;t follow the league?

Nope... not every business is all about business.... business is part of it for sure... but winning isn't just numbers of business

No. I only follow the Eagles, Raiders and Bills. I know about the Niners because of the local coverage here.

So you don't pay attention to the league... like Tom Brady getting suspended for deflating footballs.... stories no fans even know about... it's pop culture status, not just sports or football

you didn't know he was suspended??????? You don't recall any of the deflating the footballs? Spygate? Ray Rice elevator? Non of that news?

Unless the Eagles are in the Super Bowl, I rarely watch it.

If you don't know the league.... how can you know your team? Football itself is the easiest sport to follow?

Do you know what team Peyton Manning played for
