2025 Philadelphia Eagles - Trade! But not for a safety. But, what if it was… (60 Viewers)

[Terpman22]

He treats people unevenly, its fair to say.

How so?

I said I'd stop but whatevers, this stuff is kinda easy to look up

Well he seems to not like agents at all for starters

More from some Google AI for your entertainment reading

Jerry Jones, the owner, president, and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, has a well-documented and often contradictory reputation for his interactions with players, coaches, staff, and the public. He is often described as fiercely loyal to those who show loyalty to him, but also as someone who can be overbearing and micromanaging.

Is it possible to treat people evenly when you are known as having a "well documented contradictory reputation"

Maybe? I believe its impossible personally, but this argument will go nowhere splitting hairs about how Jerry treated this guy or that guy.

Sure didn't seem to treat Jimmy Johnson as well as say....Jason Garrett? Or am I crazy for saying something like this lol

[DJackson10]

Its just sad parsons has to do all this to get paid. He should have been extended a long time ago.

He’s a good player but injury prone and fails to show up when it matters. Dal has handled it wrong but there’s other factors here including Parsons tweeting constantly throwing teammates coaches and management under the bus on both there and his podcast. There’s a concern about his commitment to football. Is he committed to the game or more so gossiping and complaining and acting unprofessional on social media and his podcast. I think Dal has every right to be comcerned. I know if this was the Eagles they would’ve traded him and took the draft picks allowed him to be another teams locker room problem

 

[DJackson10]

Trade: Raiders are sending CB Jakorian Bennett to the Eagles in exchange for DT Thomas Booker IV, per sources.

 

[Terpman22]

Back to football, what we tend to usually talk about here in the Eagles thread

Just traded DT Booker to the Raiders for CB Bennett

Eagles acquire intriguing young CB from Raiders for veteran defensive tackle

In a move that'll add more cornerback depth, the Eagles are acquring cornerback Jakorian Bennett from the Raiders for Thomas Booker

@Terpman22 didn't introduce race to the topic. @STEADYMOBBIN 22 did.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

I do not like, nor understand this trade. I know this kid started 14 games for the Raiders, and I hate PFF stats-they are mostly garbage- but he’s a middling CB at best.

If he makes the team, it’s a bad omen. And if we just needed a camp body, then why trade Booker?!?!?!

Why, Howie, Why?

EDIT: Fran Dufdy on twitter just called him a smaller Kelee Ringo. I officially hate this trade.

I came in to ask Eagles homers this exact question. Thanks for the insight.

 

[Pickle Rody]

It is a head scratcher.

 

[LawFitz]

Hmm, I take it you guys like Booker...?

Bennett looked like a draft steal during camp and preseason prior to his rookie year (two years ago). He then looked up and down as a rookie and kinda the same last year, though in fairness, he was on some very dysfunctional Raiders teams. He seems to have a decent amount of raw talent, and I think the Eagles will get way more out of him than the Raiders did.

What's your take on Booker? Did the Raiders get anything there to be enthused about? They just lost forehead smoocher Christian Wilkins, so there's a need at DT.

Booker is a solid player. He was supposed to be the back-up NT this year. He played 166 snaps last year and flashed some good things. He’s short, but stays low and has great upper body strength and good hand technique.

Him getting traded says a couple things about the Eagles Interior Dline. They have a lot of confidence in Jordan Davis and will extend him. And Gabe Hall, who’s been showing out in camp, is a lock to make the 53. Drafting Ty Robinson made Booker the odd man out here, I guess.

Also, it says bad things about how the FO feels about the CB competition between Ringo and Adoree Jackson. I wonder what Fangio says about this trade. It’ll be interesting to see if he have approval, or it was a pure Howie move.

You’d think your GM had earned a bit of headroom and leeway with you guys. Unbelievable. Best franchise in football and I’m going to leave it there before a million troglodytes dogpile.

What in the world are you talking about? I’m basically the only one who said anything, and I’m not crying like the sky is falling.

I like Booker, a lot. And I think he has a lot of potential. But, he was already gonna be buried on the depth chart as DT5. Now, it’ll be Gabe Hall, who is also a good, young player with potential.

No one’s gonna dogpile, and honestly, nobody else will probably even care. Certainly no one’s gonna be chanting “Fire Howie!” over this

Sometimes Eagle-haters can be so sensitive.

Trading Booker isn't a big deal. My reading of the tea leaves tells me that Fangio may be considering a more permanent move of DeJean to safety and they needed to add another CB as depth.

As always, fatness is wrong. It's pretty clear what Terpman22 is getting at and it's ****ty and it is about race and it's a passive-aggressive debate tactic and I might report my first guy ever.

I know nothing about the kid, but even though he is small and fast- he doesn’t project to play slot, apparently.

DT will be better than fine, barring injuries. But I really did like Booker. I am a little concerned about CB- Slay was old and wasn’t HOF-level Slay anymore, but he was good, heading towards washed up. Still going to be a step back from him to either Ringo or Jackson.

Per advanced defensive metrics, this guy was a really good zone CB on a small sample last year.

Pete Carroll plays man and this guy does not fit the scheme.

Seems Kelee Ringo is a man CB that is NOT fitting the Fangio scheme.

Gabe Hall DT is having a really good camp and we drafted a DT in round 4 The Vanilla Gorilla, and it seems Booker has been passed up.

This is more a "Fangio" Trade than a Howie one b/c obviously Howie and the Eagles are heavily invested in Ringo since they traded a future 3rd to get him at the top of 4 in 2023.

I like the move. Lets see how Jakorian plays.

 

[The Noid]

Bennett has some top athletic traits. What if they want to try moving him to safety, or cross-training him there so they have a CB/S guy on the bench?

I would be surprised if they started cross training multiple CBs at Safety, this late with a new addition, with Cooper already doing that.

My guess is they just need to get this guy up to speed.

4.30 40' dash

PFF definitely didn't like him last year : 58.6 Grade, 135th/222 CBs

But then again, what did PFF have Zach Baun at in 2023?

 

[Pickle Rody]

It is a head scratcher.

While I am confused, I have no doubts Howie and Vic have a plan. No worries here.

Its such a low risk trade, why not. Reminds me of when we got CJ like a week before the season and a lot of folks were

WHO

Now we have a guy that at least Vic likes? 2 years left on a rookie contract to develop and see what he is.

NFL Scouting Profile, from NFL website

Overview​

High-cut cornerback who is more of a catch-challenger than an instinctive ballhawk. The high passes defensed total is an example of how aggressive Bennett is at the catch point, and he’s clearly effective at tilting the 50/50 ball in his favor. However, his coverage tends to lack the needed anticipation and discipline to stay connected to NFL route runners. He has good size, but his coverage strength is a mix and match of man and zone with both featuring inconsistencies that will likely follow him into an NFL camp.

Strengths​

• Well built with NFL size.
• Good body control to stay in phase with double moves.
• Loose hips for rapid flip-to-sprint trigger.
• Eager to crowd receiver’s catch space on deep sideline throws.
• Ravenous catch challenges; attempts to pull, chop and slap ball free.
• Recorded 27 passes defensed over the last two seasons.
• Will get downhill against the run.

Weaknesses​

• Lacks patience in mirroring press release.
• Recovery burst looks very average.
• Inconsistent reading play development for coverage clues.
• Coverage lacks stickiness on in-breaking routes.
• Tape shows some balance issues transitioning downhill from his pedal.
• Dropped more would-be interceptions than he made.
• Penalized 13 times over the past two seasons, per PFF

 

[renesauz]

I like the move, The DT we lost was not a lock to even make the team, and this kid at the very least provides some CB depth with a little upside. Low risk deal, no real downside even if he doesn't ever progress past CB4ish
