March 6Mar 6 I’m against trading Carter but the writing is on the wall there that it’s possible. Between the rumored Parsons package last year, the mental issues, and Davis/Ojomo coming up on their terms, I could see it. Davis did everything right to earn an extension here. He dropped weight, had a positive impact on the locker room, and played well this year. Also, not giving Carter a mega deal opens up a lot of other avenues cap wise.

Get a haul of picks, get a young tackle, get a young dominant CB, etc.How many young dominant CBs do we need? We already have more than any other team in the league.

You can't have a weak link there. I'd rather sign one in FA or use a high pick, but I'm not in favor of trading a kid in his prime for an asset that they'd only get 2-3 years out of like MC. I want someone young and one of the best in the game to let him go was the main point or a haul of picks more than the Jets got.

You don't need another dominant CB, just a quality average to above average starter.

If that's a player, cool. If it's picks, awesome. As far as corner I have no problem with them drafting one in the first if they rank him above any of the OL left.

Plus he had a knee injury that required surgery. I’d love to have him at the right price which isn’t going to be what the raiders are asking for and his market.

March 6Mar 6 Tbh honest i think this report is more parson came out said what he did about Carter. eagles linked with crosby that the reporter made a rumor people would believed based off parsons and eagles interest in Crosby

He’s your guy, right?Eh... not really. He just looks solid. But he seems to get no RAC yards.I can see the eagles liking him considering they may be looking for guys with inside outside versatility like Green Bay is full of. But there's a lot of guys like that in the draft.Williams doesnt stand out to me. Hes just ok.
March 6Mar 6 It's dumb. He's a generational player. You collect blue chip players not trade them away, especially in their mid 20s.

March 6Mar 6 The Georgia Eagles!Kelee Ringo: at best ST player, bum corner, won't get a new contract, may be cutNolan Smith: decent Edge, injury concerns, may not get a new contract especially if Phillips re-signedNakobe Dean: injury concerns, may walk as a free agentJalen Carter: shoulder concerns, penalty/attitude concerns, rumored to be on trading block two seasons in a rowThat leaves you with:
March 6Mar 6 Just now, RememberTheKoy said:Never heard of James Nagle but now I at least know to completely disregard his opinion if I come across his tweets in the future.It comes down to them thinking he's not worth the extension and they could be right if they have mental concerns or about his shoulders. Bottom line trading him for a 29 year old guy coming off an injury is something most of us should be able to agree on being a bad move.
