They flip those guys for picks. You could try and hold onto him, but what if he chooses not to resign because he feels as if he can get a starting gig elsewhere? Then you get nothing for him.I don't want to "hold on to him" ... you flip him next offseason for a pick. If Hurts goes down this year, you want McCord in there??

The best case scenario would be for McKee to ball out in the preseason and in spot duty in the regular season and for a desperate team to pony up a first if we throw in a mid round pick or two.Agreed. The Eagles almost have too many picks right now. They’re not going to be able to find spots for these guys to play. My guess is Howie is gearing up to make a big move for some kind of pass rush help or he will keep making moves to stockpile picks. And stretch them out over the next several seasons. Either way McKey is more valuable to this team right now as a backup than just another high pick.
September 15Sep 15 Come on Bengals. Trey Hendrickson and a first rounder for Tanner McKee. Call Howie before it's too late. 😃

Still a decent amount and great to have 4 day 2 picks. Seems we go through this just about every year. Howie stockpiles picks and then as the season progresses he unloads a few here and there and we end up entering the draft with like 6-7 (which he then uses some to stockpile more with his wheeling and dealing).
September 19Sep 19 Now that we have Howell the answer is "yes IF". The if is getting howell signed for another year.
Sunday at 04:31 PM5 days I’d rather keep him but it would be tough if a team offered a first for him.
