Interesting. It would have to be a ton, but with the potential of having the #1 pick, it would make it a better pick to go after a rb maybe? Plus there’s Lev Bell who’ll be a UFA. But it would have to be a lot to get rid of DJ.

DJ on the eagles would be back to his 1k/1k.

 

[jmt]

Well I would listen.

 

[sportznutt]

It would need to be a package like in the draft where teams move up to a top 3....multiple picks and players.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

And, it fits with Cards diminishing their players values for no good reason

 

[kerouac9]

Poppycock. The Cards would have to eat over $7.1M in additional cap dollars and create over $12M in dead money.

 

[DVontel]

Baseless rumor.

DJ is not worthy of that kind of deal.

 

[Ronin]

DJ is not worthy of that kind of deal.

Especially the way that he is playing atm.

 

[JeffGollin]

DJ may not be performing to 2016 standards, but the question must be: "Is it because of David? Or is it because the OL and/or our offensive coaching/playcalling suck?"

Of course the counter to this might be: "If our coaching, play-calling an OL sucks, what good will DJ be to us anyway?

Which can in turn be countered by: "If you believe a retooling or rebuilding team will need a potent running attack when it grows up", you're going to need good blockers and at least one talented RB anyway."

Conclusion - Robbing Peter to pay Paul will eventually come back to bite you. Say no to Philly (unless i's a Herschel Walker or Ricky Williams type of deal).

I don’t think so but the Eagles are desparate and I believe they have some good assets. Plus, the league knows we suck despie having elite talent at some positions.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Zero doubt in my mind DJ's lack of production is 100% on Wilkes/McCoy and the ENTIRE league knows it.

Other than pass rusher and #1 CB there is no elite talent on this team. I would say there isn't even very good talent. After those top 2 players I think there may only be a couple good players and a bunch who are average to poor.

This cupboard is dry.

there is this odd line of thinking that overtakes followers of good teams that goes something like this:

"Team X is out of it this year, so they will want to trade their best player to us"

I’d still argue Fitz is one of the best in the NFL, but with nobody else to throw to, he gets the focus of the secondary.

True but we are the worst team in football by far.

Even though I don't think he is elite anymore I will concede he may breach the very good category as a stand alone. Even then I am not so sure he doesn't get that rating as a result of his career rather than who he is now.

I don't know how you can say that when we just beat a team in their house by 10 points. We might be the worst team in football, but at the very least, it's not by far.

We only play them twice.

First DBuc, Reddick and now DJ rumours .... is someone is putting this info out to send a message to the players? It's not unheard of

For all we know, they may want to be traded.

 

[Buckybird]

There’s not a chance in hell this happens imo.

I would seriously listen if the Iggles want to offer 2 number ones & either or Nelson Aguilar/Jordan Hicks or both players & a #1 & #2

Yeah I’m greedy like that! Let’s not poo poo a great player away because this staff & the Oline is limiting his production.

 

[oaken1]

if we plan to keep using him like we have?? sure why not?... take a 1 and a 2 for him

 

[blindseyed]

I'd trade McCoy and Wilkes for a 13th rounder and a pack of puppy pee pads

 

[GuernseyCard]

We only play them twice.

And if not for a QB fumble and a 45 yard FG, the worst team 'by far' would be 3-2.
