I'd love Starks, but that first rounder has to go to a DL. They just opened up a massive hole.

Could the 'Howie does no wrong' crowd explain this one??

Stoutland must like Green.  Obviously wasn't good on Texans. I can't imagine Sydney Brown is the guy.  Wonder what else is in play

Surprised the Chiefs don't go after Becton.

They just got their ass kicked in the SB because they couldn't protect their QB, Becton doesn't move the needle on that.

Eagles are going to come out ahead of this cap-wise too.

I don’t think this move correlates to Becton, Eagles must not love Steen, they must really not like CJGJ if the player swap was for a bad player like Green. 

Honestly I thought CJGJ was just ok last year but I wonder what the plan is

Defense got significantly worse. This is now an average Defense at best.

Texans reddit seems to think Stout is going to change him from sucking to being good

They're happy to be rid of him though

The only solace I can take is that there must be a plan.

Justin Simmons and Justin Reid are out there...

What are the cap savings on this trade? I'm sure Eagles will take those savings and extend Blankenship

Stout has to be involved in this one.

Yeah with corresponding holes created 

I’d just like to point out Kenyon green was Fing awful last year when he played for the Texans. So if stoutland is able to make him useful, that is a hell of a job by him.

Simmons on a vet deal

CJGJ clearly is a pain in the ass and can only be tolerated for a year. 

Maddox is definitely back now

Was just thinking that.  There's a plan.

On another note CJGJ clearly wears out his welcome with teams.  And as much as Slay talks too much there was probably something to what he said

Yeah it's forgotten in the glow of the SB win that CJGJ had a run last year where he blew coverage and got toasted for at least 4 TD's

CJGJ was our worst DB last year, probably wanted a raise and just started attacking Slay/Reed on social media.

He's the guy you want on your team for energy, but eventually he burns his teammates out.

I forget who said it but I remember someone saying "CJGJ could be great if he ever just shut his mouth and stopped wearing out his welcome everywhere he goes".

 

I'd guess that's probably the main thing driving that trade. Now we have to see if this signals Slay coming back.

Yup. The hit on Kelce definitely sent a tone early but that's a hit Sydney loves to make

I have got no clue on this trade. I was with Howie on letting guys walk yesterday, though I might have kept Burks at that cost. But trading CJGJ for Green, who has been legitimately terrible, makes no sense to me. Maybe Stout loved him when they scouted him, but I can't believe you needed to give up CJGJ for him. A day 3 pick should have done it. We just created a real hole in the secondary.

Secondary is suddenly really thin.

I guess they’re re-signing Blankenship then.

The compensation is just odd to me. No 2025 pick. Kenyon Green, even if you somehow salvage his awful career so far, only has a year left on his deal anyway. So you’re netting what exactly? And you’re losing a ball hawk, high energy guy that’s been 2/2 on going to the SB on your roster. I don’t know man, can’t help but trust Fangio, but fuuuuuuck
