they are keeping it close tot he vest, but i think whoever starts won't necessarily get 20 carries/catches a game. it really seems like they are trying for a 3-headed monster.
Hardest worker on UGA's entire team last year. He's only going to get better - his twitch is special.
The QB factory is pumping out product!
Hurts gets hurt McKee ends up playing somewhow and this town turns on Hurts wanting McKee especially if he pulls off a Nick Foles. It’s like clockwork in this town.
He was washed up anyways.
Good posting and I echo those same concerns basically. Special teams is a HUGE one that isn't sexy/fun to discuss, but it is probably our biggest issue on the team.
The obligatory we should get X player post

REPORT: Eagles Are Discussing Jonathan Taylor Trade With Colts
The Philadelphia Eagles are indeed discussing a blockbuster trade with the Indianapolis Colts for running back Jonathan Taylor.www.nflanalysis.net
Heard the same thing. ESP was saying basically, with Howie anything is possible from a contract standpoint. I agree with this. We all thought the Hurts contract was going to hamstring us moving forward and it really doesn't. He also made a point that next years cap space will be enough to grab multiple free agents. Taylor is 23 or 24 I think. Why not pull him in, promise no tag and either let him test free agency or offer a contract. Oh and let him know that he'll be able to play in a super bowl here. I love it.Probably BS

I would love to have Taylor on the team. But the Eagles aren't going to pay him. On the radio yesterday they said it would make sense to trade for Taylor if the Eagles said they won't franchise him at the end of the season, use him for one season, allow him to showcase on what is mostly a prime-time schedule and allow him to hit the market next offseason and go to the highest bidder. The expected compensation is something in the neighborhood of a 2nd or a 3rd plus some later round pick. You'd get nearly the equivalent back in a compensatory pick so might be worth the gamble. Sirianni was the OC when Taylor was drafted so there is history there with him.
In a vacuum, it sounds great. When you take the human element: Trading for a guy already pissed off, and replacing people already on the roster with him, who will also be pissed off, I just can't see it working out real well.Heard the same thing.

But then again, Howie does some crazy stuff sometimes....
Not only does Nick know him, he was SUPERHYPED about him when they drafted him in Indianapolis that year.In a vacuum, it sounds great.

It's not just for this season. Another 24 year old stud to add to all our other great young players. If the price is right you do it
I do find it interesting that Sirianni already knows him....

Yeah, you are probably right about that. Even still, I wonder how the locker room would take it. I imagine in any sort of trade we'd send the Colts one of Penny/Swift/Scott.In a vacuum, it sounds great.

If you trade for him, you're doing it knowing that he's ok with playing on the one-year deal and not getting tagged so he won't be disgruntled.

Sure so give him a good contract. Like I said we’re going to have a ton of cap space tomorrow and Howie is a ****ing wind talker when it comes to contracts. Make it happen. We need to be able to keep up with KC offense. He’ll help us do that.

Definately BS trying to get as many teams seamingly interested to drive his price up
Sanders is JAG. Jonathan Taylor, behind this line, with Hurts throwing to these receivers and opening up lanes, would be an absolute monster. We’d immediately have the most talented offense in the league. And again, he’s 24 and we have cap space galore moving forward. AND we have a lot of mid round picks that we can use in the deal and not hamstring our future drafts.Probably BS

Teams do this constantly get the eagles involved to raise the price. Plus who’s Evan Massey and we know the Eagles were one of the first teams to stop paying RBS big money. If they were signing RB to big money they’d have resigned Miles Sanders
The Colts and Eagles had a joint practice this week and a preseason game tonight. You can be assured Howie brought it up on some level haha.
I did make a mental note two days ago of the fact that the news JT is traveling with the team to Philly for the joint session came out before the news that he was granted permission to seek a trade.
Personally I don't think a trade would make sense for us, but then who can say no to that talent.
The Colts, apparently
