Jason Kelce a special guest host on WIP today until 10am. He was asked right off the bat if he's coming back and he still hasn't made that decision yet. But he did say it's trending in a direction... 

A player not wanting to come to a team doesn't mean a franchise is in good/bad shape. Wilson picked a destination in which he'll likely never get back to another SB. He also picked a team without an owner.

Back the Brinks truck up for Marcus Williams. Make him the focal point of FA.

Best Edge Rusher available at 15: Walker (fingers crossed), Ojabo, Johnson

CB at 16: Booth, Jr., McDuffie, or Elam (think Sauce and Stingley are gone by then)

Use the other pick as trade bait for a low 1st RD/early 2RD pick and 2023 early pick(s). Go BPA. Maybe LB/DT.

Draft WR. Pierce is my guy right now in RD3. Maybe Watson or Ross. May have to trade up in RD3 to get them.

 

I am right on board with this. Realistic scenario I could see happening…

15- Ojabo

16- Booth

19- Personally I would trade down here if there’s a willing suitor. I could see maybe Buffalo wanting to move up to grab Olave or Williams for example. But either way, try and trade down into 20’s, pick up a 2nd and draft Ridder. 

R2- with my now 2 2nd rounders I would grab a DT/S/LB and…Alec Pierce.

Denver has a tough road in a stacked conference/division, but they have a really good team. I wouldn’t be surprised if they went to the Super Bowl.

Gold standard.  This is what Lowie has turned this franchise into.  Soak it up, defenders.   Elite GM.  

There is more to it than Howie and Lurie, of course.  I suspect if the Eagles had made a similar trade for Wilson: 3 players amd all the picks, your reaction would be much the same.  I'm happy Wilson wouldn't waive it.  I want the picks this year and willing to give up picks next year for a QB.  

Even though the Giants are and have been a horrible team for years the same people have reported Wilson would have accepted a trade to the Giants.  So the quality of the administration doesn't isn't the deciding factor.  Much like Denver recently.

His wife hates the fans.  Not much Lurie can do about that. 

Everyone knows that's not true anyway. 

You'd be surprised.

We spent all this time talking about 1st and second round draft picks… and all but one is more than likely going to Houston for Deshaun Watson.

I’m not sure we’ll have enough clarity on his legal issues by the draft. It’s only 50 days away. 

Give us one more year Kelce!!!

This flew under the radar today, but that Mike Williams deal was 🗑️🗑️🗑️. $20 million a year for that guy?!

His contract is just to match the inflation in the country.  That's only $15 million/year last year! 

I kid, but I said it yesterday, we're going to see ridiculous amounts of money being thrown around.

Carson Wentz getting traded to Washington and regaining his 2017 form would be the ultimate kick in the nuts.

Wilson and his wife did an interview last week with a Washington reporter, and the guy asked straight out if he would accept a trade to the Commanders, seeing as he grew up in Virginia.  Wilson told him straight out he preferred to stay out west.

They made the decision as a couple on where they wanted to live, and DEN was the most appealing option.  He probably feels the Broncos roster is close.

If he’d have been traded to the Giants or Washington over a better Eagles offer then I might believe it carries a negative view of the Eagles organization; I don’t believe their decision to go to Denver does that.

Kyler Murray has restored Cardinals images to his social media accounts....  That's news apparently.

I heard it.  It was not negative at all.  Pretty lighthearted.  I wouldn't read to far into a tweet.  That said, I am less sure now than I was a month ago.  

You wouldn’t read too far into the tweet  ? But that’s exactly what you did , below is you reading too much into it , smh  you twit

 

I wonder why he's delaying.  

It entered my mind, that he is trying to do the FO a solid and not retire until after the draft.  As to not show their hand on their intent to get Linderbaum.  Listening to him, he sure sounds like he's at peace with whatever it is.

If history can tell us anything, it's that first round picks are overvalued. I don't think it would have been a bad trade for Wilson.  I mean the Eagles could have traded 2 firsts this year, next year's first and probably a third round pick for the same value.  In terms of players, I think it would be something like Dillard, Hurts and Miles Sanders.  I don't think anyone could look at that trade realistically and say it's a bad deal.  I mean does anyone really think Howie is going to hit on all 3 picks?

It looks to me that there's a good chance he doesn't even play in 2022.  

Great morning waking up knowing we are one step closer to Jalen starting in 2022.

That has become a trend: plug a quality QB in a roster filled with talents and make a serious run for SB win.  The Bucs and Rams did that and the Broncos are trying this formula. 

Our roster may still have some holes to be a serious contender.  Plugging a top QB would seem a couple of seasons off.
