Let’s say it’s true that he explicitly told her to report that Brown wants to be traded. How does that change Howie Roseman’s asking price or leverage compared to Brown asking for the trade behind closed doors (which he reportedly did) and actively sulking on the field?

Do you believe those reports would change anything in Roseman’s eyes or how he plays the hand Brown dealt him? I don’t think these reports changed a thing. What would damage the relationship in Philly is Vrabel sabotaging the Eagles by tampering with Brown, and Brown behaving in a way that affected the team’s on-field performance. I believe Brown’s effort was detrimental.

Just because it's not successful doesn't mean it's not tampering and she didn't play a role in it

Jordyn Tysons injury history is a concern for a lot of folks, yet lots have him going to the giants and I just had the thought of him playing 8-9 games a year in MetLife. Makes me sad.

The key point you're overlooking is, it doesn't matter if the reports didn't change a thing with Howie, the tampering still took place. Whether it was or would've been effective is a different argument.

Problem is there isn't a lot of replacements for a lot of positions. You won't be getting AJ's replacement in this draft. You could get Blankenship's or Goedert's, but again... positional value.

Agree. Why I want lots of trade backs or move up and use the extra picks to get one they love vs eh picks

I keep seeing people say 2027 is stacked. More picks in that one would be great

Granted we'd possibly sacrifice this season a little

News to Baldy, you ain’t getting a ready made Lane Johnson caliber guy outside the top 5 ever

Also worth mentioning that Lane Johnson started his college career as a QB who had 2 years experience as a tackle. He was immediately successful in the NFL (and was a top 5 pick himself)....but he wasn't exactly ready made as a draft prospect.

He was the unquestioned right pick at the time (Even without hindsight)....but the consensus at the time was that the Eagles were dealt a lousy hand that the best the board could give them with such a high pick was an immensely athletic OT with 2 years experience at the position who was only 3rd team all american. Was considered a weak draft at the top.

Welp, the timing of the "I'm getting professional help" announcement today makes a lot more sense.

Dianna was banging him while dating and marrying her husband. And they had kids together.

She better get ready to sign those divorce papers.

@HazletonEagle was spotted in Philly for a game last night

This whole situation is so weird. I get going public with the whole therapy thing to try to save some face. But you really need to miss day 3 of the draft for therapy? We'd all eat an Eagles HC alive if they missed a day of the draft for therapy.

It created an unnecessary distraction for the Eagles this past season. It's against the rules, it is text book tampering. I will never understand the people that want to bend over backwards to defend this, especially when it negatively impacted your favorite team.

I think we’re arguing semantics. I’m talking about actively coordinating with Vrabel for the purpose of facilitating a trade vs reporting information from a source. I believe there’s a difference ethically on her part (of course acknowledging that she was being unethical by sleeping with her source).

What this boils down to is Russini really played a very small factor if any in this. The real issues are Brown wanting out and what role Vrabel played in that. That is worth investigating.

Not really when it comes to Russini. That’s what I’m arguing about.

The team itself said it wasn’t a distraction. How much energy do you think they spent on this?

You think he's going to last a full season on that turf?

It’s not at all. What role would she have played that would force a Brown trade to NE? Writing a bunch of articles about it?

All of our anger should be pointed at Vrabel and Brown. Russini is more annoying than anything in this ordeal.
