Uscg-green Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just now, Dweedlebug said: You act like there were better offers that they turned down. There was no way Carson was going to stay and play. The whole world knew this, thus the Eagles had almost zero leverage in this process. Not sure what you were expecting them to get in return given his contract and the fact that everyone knew he wanted out. Bears reportedly had a better offer but Carson "didn't want to go there". Who gives a F? Just now, Thing3 said: Put me in the camp that says we don't draft the future QB this year and roll with Hurts for at least one year. Hope we enjoy those 3 wins.

EricAllenPick6 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Welcome to Cap Hell! Thanks Howie! Quote By trading Wentz now, the Eagles will save just under $853,000 in cap space in 2021 but will be left with a dead cap hit of $33.8 million for this upcoming season. That is an NFL record, shattering the previous mark of $22.2 million the Rams will incur after trading Jared Goff earlier this offseason. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/eagles-trade-carson-wentz-colts-2-picks#:~:text=Eagles reportedly trade Carson Wentz to Colts for 2 picks&text=By trading Wentz now%2C the,million for this upcoming season.

Yep, the risk long term is that Wentz plays really good football and Hurts (or whomever they pick) doesn't. I see it as a fair deal, with both teams taking some risks.

GrahamCracker Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Some very emotionally attached fans here, sorry that you are having a bad day. This is how I felt the day I realized Howie would be back making picks no matter what! Not very surprised at the perceived paltry return for Wentz, I think it is close to value.

That's just a bad move considering you'd be drafting a guy that needs weapons/protection to have success. That’s a great plan and would work for any QB including Wentz, too bad Howie is GM, expect drafting a QB this year while we are sitting at the 6th spot.

Outlaw Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 20 minutes ago, Uscg-green said: Second and a third. Peanuts. F Howie. And F Hurts. Time to find a outdoor hobby for a season. We gonna be one of the worst teams in the league. Most likely a 1st and a 3rd...for the worst starter in the NFL last year. Whether he stayed or not, 2021 and 2022 are rebuilding years. At least now we don't have a malcontent in the locker room. You saw 4 games from a rookie with no preseason thrown in in the middle of a game against GB. I saw some things I really liked, and some I didn't. If he doesn't prove he's the man this year, then you draft one in 2022. Put down the noose man. Step back from the edge of the bridge. We have a new coaching staff, a new starter and a boatload of picks the next two years. Personally, I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed by a Heisman campaign in another program. The point is we don't have enough of a sample size to know what he can do, let alone in a new system.

Vman1968 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 7 minutes ago, Sturm said: Its a win win for the Eagles. 3rd round and most likely a 1st that could be a high draft pick too. 70% is what game 12-13? If they are just a 500 team at that time and lose next few. It can be a top 12 pick. If Carson is still trash then it looks good that we got rid of him instead of holding out hope. If Carson balls out it could get Howie Fired. If Hurts looks good then we got a new QB already. If Hurts looks bad it could get Howie Fired. Honestly Win Win imo. Have you been paying attention at all? What have you seen from Lurie that holds Howie accountable for anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
