Cards trade Reggie Wells to Eagles

[PoolBoy]

Urban tweet. For undisclosed draft pick

 

[binkar]

You were all over that one, PoolBoy. Interested to see what the compensation is.

 

[Mitch]

Great call, Orangeman.

There goes my Wells for Tony Richardson trade. Oh well.

I wish Reggie Wells the best. He was a key cog in our Super Bowl run...and a very bright, classy and dedicated young man who made it from Clarion University all the way to the Super Bowl.

Reggie is in effect going home to PA!

Go get em Reggie!

 

[CaptTurbo]

HADNOT baby!

 

[binkar]

6th-round pick.

 

[O]

Schefter, reporting it's a sixth round pick.

Hey at least you were correct about Wells getting trades!

 

[PoolBoy]

6th round pick according to Schefter.

i love twitter

 

[DieHardCardFan]

Per Schefert it is a 6th round pick

 

[CaptTurbo]

actually I guess this means Deace is starting not Hadnot.

Right. He got a big part of the time the past 2 weeks.

it means they must like Hadnot though, caues he's a backup almost everywhere now if i understand right. LG, C, RG

And they always have Bridges too. No slouch at all at guard.

 

[Zeno]

I understand the deal but a 6th round pick is a good deal for the Eagles, they wouldn't get an immediate starter on the OL with that pick.

 

[Pariah]

Hmm. I'm not sure I like it.

I would have hoped we could have gotten a player we could use this season. Why not wait until the off-season to trade Wells? He has a lot of versatility as a backup.

Yea I like Hadnot too. To me he should be over Faneca.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Better than a 3rd round pick.

 

[Capital Card]

Urban stated on his blog that in addition to this trade, there are reports that Monte Beisel has been cut.

Because this is the last year of his deal, I believe.

Very deep at OL already with Hadnot and bridges. Might need the roster space for other places too.

 

[Pariah]

ah-ha. Okay, then. I still don't think we got what we should have...we could probably use him at some point this season. Hpe it signals confidence in our yutes.

We had a glut at OG position. We needed to get rid of one of the guards. As far as a player that we could use this season, other than an interior LB I think that the coaches probably feel good about our starting line up and the depth.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Wells is in the twilight of his career. Moving him makes room for the young guys.

 

[earthsci]

...and this is the last year of his contract.
