Wonder if Howie would blink if Jax offered a 3rd for Ojomo. I just can't see anyway he's able to bring him back after paying Davis

Thats like a mere mortal GM type of move.

Think about this- the eagles are resistant to trade talks surrounding Ojomo because they plan to try to sign him. That means, Howie is probably trying to shock you by trading Jordan Davis, and keeping Ojomo instead. And THAT is a Howie move.

We can only hope. Not sure what the dead money would look like. Should've traded him in the offseason and kept Dean and extended Ojomo

I don’t think we could get a 3rd for Ojomo, he’s a bum too honestly. Idk why people think teams would trade such a high pick for him

I want to see more than a possible Davis trade...if Howie is able to pull that off. I want Kuper fired yesterday. McKee is dog sheet. Might as well roll with Milton and see what Cole brings to the table

If he walks in the offseason, I believe he'll get us a 3rd rd comp. He's good in the run game and better a generating pressure on the qb then fat sheet

Id be curious if someone could dig up the prices of all deadline trades over the last 10 years.

There are a couple layers to it.

1. What comp pick the player is expected to generate. That is deferred 1 year over what you get in a deadline deal (unless, of course, the deal is for a later year pick).

2. Whats the consensus value of the player?

3. How "worth it" is it for the selling team to unload the player?

#3 is the one I'm really getting at. Deconstructing a roster and breaking up a team sucks. 5th round picks and worse...that might be all a player is worth...but why would you want to send someone packing midseason for pocket change? Unless that player is a problem in the locker room, it's a complicated thing to do.

It's just a tough look to trade off any player with a role on the team, mid season, for less than a 4th. Anyone worth less than that just isn't really worth being in a deadline deal.

I think we are buyers. RB and OG

Not the worst!
