Yep. Not only that people saying they would have brought back Milton instead are insane. Last year Jordan Davis was WAY more impactful than MIlton ever was. Davis EASILY the Eagles best DL/Edge rusher on the team last season.

Ojomo replaced Williams on a rookie deal. Worth it.

Maybe I’m out of the loop, but who the hell is Rickey scoops. I hadn’t heard of this guy up until like last offseason. I tend to believe Jeremy Fowler more. That said i think Phillips is gone.

Just an anonymous Twitter guy with obvious league connections.

The 26 isn't really true if you average in the 12 for next year. Or if you look at it for 2027 on only then there will be probably other guys who jump ahead of him in that mix before it kicks in

Rickey has sources. "available" doesn't mean "will be traded"

Ha ha

What are his credentials to say he obviously does? What has he reported first or got that no one else has? (Legit questions cause i have no clue who he is)

Vita Vea is the benchmark and plays like 70% - so yeah, I hope JD can play a half dozen additional snaps per game.

Also JD is a Special Teams block God.

Seems legit

Apparently he’s no longer on Twitter. So maybe Dom got him

Plus dancing skills.

Clever by Howie to pay his buddy first. Should motivate JC something fierce if he wants the bag too.

Exactly what I thought. It's a carrot dangled in front of Carters nose now. There were conditioning issues spoken about with him last year. Now let him be motivated. And still that has to worry you a bit about paying him yuge.

Not sure if they are going to drive JC as hard this season. Vic doesn’t run a deep rotation, which is honestly questionable given length of the season.

Scoops is saying he is available. Must be something the Eagles don't like.

Chronic shoulder issues?

If it's true that thing could be his asking price. Maybe he just wants much more than they are willing to spend

Tbh it would be nice if Robinson developed into a usable rotation player. If Carter is truly on the trade table and Ojomo is a FA at the end of 2026, DT might not be off the table if one falls to them early

Makes sense until Vic only plays JD, JC and Ojomo, and folks are calling the rookie a bust because he gets limited opportunity.

Jalen Carter is not on the trade block, I'll go head to head with Rickey Scoops any day and when I win I want to officially be branded board insider.

Jalen Carter is so good. And he hasn't reached his peak yet.

What he is, and the idea of what he can become means there will always be a large group of binary thinkers who will not be willing to try to wrap their head around the possibility of trading him and will dismiss all potential reasons supporting it.

Facts are

-He was a poor character prospect in the draft that some didnt even want even if he fell to us somehow.

-He has continued to show poor judgement in the NFL.

-Many people were upset with him 2 years ago when he started the season slowly. Barkley eventually lit a fire under him. After Barkely asked "why not you" or something along those lines. From that point on JC played great. Until then his season was looking disappointing. Fans questioned "consistency".

-He has conditioning issues. They were spoken about by Fangio this season, and maybe even Carter addressed them? I dont remember for sure but I remember Fangios comment.

-He has shoulder issues. Both shoulders. That affected his entire season even after missing time. That may be a long term concern.

With that, will his full potential ever be realized, or remain something of legend?

Id keep him in spite of character issues. There has been nothing so bad that the Eagles couldnt keep it covered up. I'll accept an occasional penalty if he is going to become historically good.

But with ALL of those things? I totally get if the Eagles wont commit long term, and even if they trade him I'll understand.
