August 17Aug 17 Can’t understand this. Likely means Cooper isn’t making the roster? Just can’t understand why we’d need another WR with all the issues we have on defense (and along the OL). I know Howie likes to always add talent and ultimately the price he’s paid is minimal but still?
August 17Aug 17 It's doesn't preclude Howie making another move for a CB or EDGE. It is odd considering how long it took Hurts to trust Dotson.

I mean ultimately he’s paid next to nothing for him in terms of the trade. I just don’t get the trade when we have so many other needs.
August 17Aug 17 He hasn't done anything in 2 years w/ TexansGave up nothing for himWouldn'tread much into it, testing to see if we can turn him into anything.

August 17Aug 17 The first thing that comes to mind is that AJ Brown's hamstring is worse than we think. And he might miss a few weeks...We didn't give up much, but this guy is going to have a roster spot...

He developed, and apparently recovered from leukemia while he was with the Texans. Guy was a stud in Alabama and made some noise in the NFL.20 minutes ago, JamesK said:The first thing that comes to mind is that AJ Brown's hamstring is worse than we think.

I like that he has a connection to DeVonta Smith, and you really can't go wrong by taking a flyer on a highly rated SEC player.
August 17Aug 17 Metchie can play and they already had plenty of WR's. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dotson traded for a corner.
August 17Aug 17 All we did was a late rd pick swap and trade away a player that wasn't going to make the 53. We get a chance to evaluate a legit slot receiver for at least a couple weeks. There is a possibility that the Eagles may be working on another trade. But I think they had an opportunity to get a player they liked for virtually nothing. My understanding, though, is that we outbid the whiners to get Metchie. Read into that what you want.
August 18Aug 18 We needed a pure slot WR and this guy, while not having great speed , is said to be an elite route runner. And that's the most important trait for a slot WR. I like it and the cost was next to nothing. Hopefully they cut Smith now.

But his contract is up after the season and doubtful we re sign him so a trade wouldn't be a shocker for that reason. But I say we keep him

August 18Aug 18 I dunno either...maybe Howie was bored and thought it was a good idea in the moment...no biggy.Anyway, if we decide to cut him next week his contract isn't guaranteed, giving some flexibility...unlike the case with Dotson and K Green.

No sense in pushing AJ right now.
