So Case Keenum is back in the conference.
Eagles open to trading Bennett
Jay Glazer believes Eagles will have interest in LeVeon Bell but most teams won't be interested in giving him the type of money he wants
Carson Wentz was at my Mom's work today visiting Patients at CHOP
Mike Kaye's 7 round Eagles Mock:
1st Round (25th overall): N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State
2nd Round (53rd overall, via Ravens): David Montgomery, RB, Iowa State
2nd Round (57th overall): Dre’Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State
4th Round (127th overall): Joe Jackson, DE, Miami
4th Round (138th overall, compensatory pick): Bobby Evans, OT, Oklahoma
5th Round (163rd overall): Ben Burr-Kirven, LB, Washington
6th Round (197th overall): Olamide Zaccheaus, WR, Virginia
Javon Patterson, G/C, Mississippi
Should Eagles trade for Jordan Howard

Just heard the Eagles traded Bennett to the Patriots.

I’m curious what we got from NE for our best pass rusher. Not really a fan of this move.

We give up a 2020 7th and Bennett for a 2020 5th
Not a fan of this one.

Bennett and a 7th in 2020 for NE's 5th in 2020.
Obviously getting something in a trade is better than cutting him. Also Barnett is coming back. With Bennett and Jernigan gone, I think it is likely that the Eagles think Chris Long is going to play next year. I wouldn't be surprised if they signed a cheaper DT in free agency.

Not really.
Graham, Long (guess this means he’s staying?) and Barnett all underachieved last year. The 4th DE would be Sweat who didn’t look good at all when he played. Bennett looked good, seemed like a good scheme fit and didn’t cause any issues. It is what it is but I wish they could have found a way to keep him another year.
Also Here’s Howie’s history of 5th round picks since being GM:
2010- Rickey Sapp & Riley Cooper
2011- Dion Lewis & Julian Vandervelde
2012- Dennis Kelly
2013- Earl Wolff
2014- Taylor Hart & Ed Reynolds
2015- None
2016- Wendell Smallwood & Big V
2017- Shelton Gibson & Nate Gerry
2018- None
Maybe he’s due? Or maybe we just got a meaningless pick. I know some of these were Chip years too or there was a question of who made the picks him or Reid. Even if you pick the best 3 of this group it’s bad.

I don’t like it either. Bennett was damn good last year and he’s more versatile than Long. Do you think any of this has to do with legal issues hanging over his head?
Bigboy10182000

I think it was just them essentially cutting him and getting back a $5 scratch off and crossing their fingers.

Bennet also said he wanted a pay raise and wouldn't take another payout. They just resigned Graham and have Barnett coming back.minute he said he wanted a raise and wouldn't take a payout he signed his own ticket out

Ya Long should be back for sure which is nice. Can see them drafting another DE early in the draft this year too. We were really deep at the position and that wasn't sustainable forever. Still think we have one of the better lines in the league with BG, a more experienced Barnett, and maybe a highly touted rookie. I think Josh Sweat is going to have a bigger year this year too.

Talk of us going after Coleman too. I'd definitely be interested at the right price, but think I'd rather Duke. Don't think both is really an option, unless we do a full overhaul of our RBs... but I think Adams/Duke would be a nice combo. Looks like we're going after the FA RB market fairly hard and might once again pass on drafting one early. Which I think I'm okay with.

never really gave AB much thought and I'm not sure that it is the best use of cap resources, but i guess if the price gets low enough, you have to think about it.

Soooo... anyone else just get that sleeperbot update?
Sounds like we’re being used to drum up some interest. Hard to believe we’d have him in our locker room at what he wants to make.

I want Coleman honestly because he's a nice Complimentary back. He's no workhorse but he's exactly what we need. Always been a big Coleman fan. He's also pretty explosive.

The stuff Ryan Clarke said about him just pokes out like a sore Thumb. Everything he said about Brown and how the Steelers locker room is sounded exactly how the Eagles have their locker room. A guy like AB is not welcomed. You also have to take into account how he quit on the Steelers in the biggest game of the year last year.

AB is headed to The RAYDERS (In My best Chris Berman impersonation)!!!!!!!! What a #### show that is gonna be over there. I can't wait to watch some quality Reality TV for once. Any Chance we can petition the league and HBO for the Raiders to be on Hard Knocks this year? Could be the biggest ratings of the Shows history with the outcast of characters.

wonder what the justin houston market will look like. sounds like he can still play.

There's zero rationale for selecting a RB in the first round unless he's a generational talent on the order of Gurley, Zeke, Barkley - and I'm not exactly alone in saying I don't see one like that in this class. Get the best defensive player available at 25 and patch the RB hole through FA where the value for the money is much higher.
I'm fine if they move down into the 3rd and grab someone like Darrell Henderson (who I think has a chance to be the best RB in this draft class) but there's far better uses of that 1st-rounder.

He's also making almost 4 million a year more than Bennett did, and isn't as versatile. Jackson wasn't a bad signing, I just really don't understand why they traded Bennett.

He can play DT and Edge, seems pretty versatile to me.
They traded Bennett because he wanted a pay raise probably wasn't going to be happy w/o one.

Have to think Peters is staying, at this point. With FA essentially started, they would be doing him a disservice by waiting until Wednesday to not pick up his option and have to sit out the next couple of days as teams are looking to fill needs. If they were moving on from him, they wouldn't add that piece to it and disrespect him.
And with other re-structures already done prior to the start today, it probably means he's coming back at the number in the option.

For real, 5 minutes later I get the notification from the Eagles!
ETA: Since this was announced like a signing, not an option pick-up, have to assume there was a new (lower) number involved.

I’m good with the lower number. He’s declining but it allows time for Mailata to develop and learn from a HOF player and saves money in the process.For real, 5 minutes later I get the notification from the Eagles!

Looks like his guarantee is cut in half ($5.5m) , but he can earn back the full number (~$10 million) by playing a full, healthy season.
Seems like a good compromise for both sides.

I think the AB contract hurts us. DJax might be able to get 10-12 million for a couple years, in one last big contract based on what AB just got and the relative lack of available WR's. Can't see the Eagles spending that on a 33 yo.
