CaliEagle Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 It's probably Julio's agent fueling it. The Eagles have a lot of picks, so it would be easy for someone to put that out there. I just don't think it makes sense for the Eagles to get him. I doubt he has more than a couple of years of elite play in him. He has had foot issues. I think the Eagles would be better served contiuing adding youger players. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No capologist but I don't think it's worth the price of getting him in the door plus keeping him happy. That and I don't see this season going much of anywhere regardless so in my opinion better to save the draft assets. But that's just me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Eagles offered them a 1 next year, AND Atlanta agreed to pay half is money due, would you do it? No, i wouldn't. I believe the Eagles are a couple years from competing, unsure if Hurts is the answer, lack players in many departments and have already invested significantly at the WR position. For those reasons an expensive 32 year old receiver doesn't make sense. The Eagles may need the draft capital next season for a QB if Hurts doesn't work out, or patch multiple holes with new talent and could do with the cap space to fill other positions in FA. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Eagles offered them a 1 next year, AND Atlanta agreed to pay half is money due, would you do it? I would rather use those picks on defense or maybe one on OL. We need to develop these young WRs. I don't think we will be a SB team this year, so it doesn't make sense to add an older FA WR especially when we have two young first rounders and some other young WRs that could develop like Watkins, Fulgham.

If the Eagles offered them a 1 next year, AND Atlanta agreed to pay half is money due, would you do it? The only way I might even give it the slightest thought would be if Atlanta was picking up at least half of the money and would take the Indy pick, which will be a low 1st if it becomes a 1st. But in the end the answer would still be no. This is a sucker play that Roseman will go for to make a splash, but it's idiotic for a rebuilding team to trade high picks for older players, especially one coming off a season hampered by injuries. The Eagles are a long way from being competitive, and have a lot of holes to fill with other positions that have aging starters, so what sense does a move like this make? How many productive years does Jones have? Two, maybe three if he stays healthy? The Eagles need to develop Smith and Reagor as the core of the WR room, and they need to add as much high end young talent as possible over the next few drafts (which might be more likely if Lurie decides to hire a real GM). Bringing Jones in provides some moments for a team that's winning nothing in the near future, which is hardly worth sacrificing draft capital and cap space. Having said all that, you can bank on the Eagles making this deal and giving up too much in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no idea why you would say that .... making a trade for Julio at 32 years old does not seem at all like Roseman’s style. He will add 30+ players as free agents to fill a perceived hole, but I cannot recall a single trade he has made for a player over 30, and he has made a lot of trades, other than for a 30 year old Darren Sproles back in 2014, and that was just for a 5th rounder. But I can think of a lot of trades where he has traded a 30+ year old away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Shiznit Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 This only makes sense if we trade for Watson first, and whatever his potential suspension is going to be, is no more than 4-6 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 More nonsense. $13 million a year and a first for an aging, oft-injured WR when they’ve taken WRs with pretty much every high pick they’ve had since the Nixon administration?
