SMH not sure how accurate the info but if legit the Eagles def going all in.

Interesting because I don't think they need him to keep winning. 27, great player been a bit injury prone of late at the age where RB's often start to fall off. SF getting CMC to me made sense they needed a jump on offense, the Eagles IMO don't and would be better served to keep the picks IMO unless they have reason to believe they need a RB.

I’d say he’s still def better than Miles Sanders.

I guess when you’re all in you’re ALL IN

Yeah I agree I'm just saying the payoff for getting him wouldn't be worth what the Saints want which is apparently their first round pick back.

Because of that offense and how good a runner Hurts is, you don't necessarily need an elite RB to have a good run game.

I guess the counter is the only "elite" player on their offense is AJ Brown they have lots of really good players but maybe they think Kamara would help if for example Jalen Hurts took a big hit and got injured.

Seems desperate to me.

These moves can cause more harm than good. They already have Miles Sanders and Gainwell who are good backs.

Sanders already has 485 yards rushing at 4.6 YPA (80 yards a game)

Kamara has 351 at 70 yards per game.

He also has his court issue and a potential ban on the horizon. And how many 27 year old running backs still have their best years ahead?

Sometimes you just got to say "We already have a good team we don't need any more".

Too bad we aren’t making news…we have the draft capitol but we aren’t doing it. Hell I remember when Graves was here everyone was frying him for saying how slow he is to get stuff done.

This has to be a joke, right? You want us to burn more draft picks than we already have to...trade for a running back? C'mon now.

I don’t know where you got that from maybe I should’ve been more clear. I wasn’t talking about a running back which we are deep in. I was referring to trade speculations IN GENERAL, specifically a pass-rusher like Chubb. Whiners and Eagles are making moves but we aren’t.

There have been 7 trades total and we have been involved in 1 of them. So yeah...

The Eagles are no powerhouse but by the same token the NFC is so up for grabs who knows. If we play the Niner's tight, then the Cards should have made some moves on defense if not

Ah, gotcha. I don't agree that we have draft capital to spare, but a pass rusher would make a lot more sense--so long as it's a long-term deal the player's on.
