  • With the surprising depth at CB I could see 'us' trading Darby for a 2018 pick

    not trying to run anyone out of town but we all know the situation 'we' are in with the cap and lack of ammunition in the Draft. Something has to give and there's always a market for Corners.

    If Sidney Jones is ready to go I'm confident he can start opposite Mills. He's likely an upgrade over Darby, who I find a little maddening with his style of play. Already have Rasul Douglas capable of sliding in as well.

    Without a 2 or 3 it would be wise to try to get as high of a pick as possible for Darby while you still can.

    ONLY for a great deal.

    Why weaken the team at a position of strength?

      Eagles are pretty strong everywhere except LB, IMO

        With the Chiefs getting a 2 (2019) and 4 for Peters and a 6, I have no idea what darby is worth.

        What I will say is that I'd rather ride Darby out on his last year (I think) and not sign him and let Mills and Jones step in (in 2019-2020 season) than trade him. Obviously, this team is talented enough to win the Super Bowl in 2019, so why break up the band for perhaps a 3rd rounder.

          IF THE CAP GOES UP AS I'VE READ, BY 22 MIL, I'D KEEP HIM ON THIS YEAR. HE'S NOT MY FAVORITE PLAYER, BUT SHIT, HE IS OUR CHAMPION.

          BUT DON'T KNOW IF HE'S MY STARTER. MAYBE HE DIDN'T FULLY RECOVER FROM INJURY.

            I don’t like that idea

            You know what you have in Darby, you don’t know what you have in Jones.

              I would rather keep Darby and move Mills to slot.

                well, the issues at LB and possibly lack of depth at DE need to be addressed. also, $9m over the cap. granted Darby is on his rookie deal and cheap but so are Jones, Mills, and Douglas. getting a high pick (or 2) for Darby might be worth it.

                I prefer to keep Mills. 'we' drafted him and I like his physical style and take no shit attitude. Teams need guys like that.

                  Darby is the most physically talented of the corners by far. I don’t you give up on that just yet.

                    he's the quickest but also seems to gamble more b/c of his makeup speed.

                    again, i'm not advocating it. just brainstorming. if they want more picks in the draft dealing a corner makes the most sense based on youth and depth.

                    15 years ago today 'we' traded a solid Al Harris to GB for a 2 and gave up a 4. Taylor and Vincent were entrenched as the starters and 'we' loaded up on DB's in the previous year's draft. Feels like a similar situation, no?

                      The Eagles will lose Patrick Peterson as well.

                      You’re saying Sidney Jones, Mills and Douglas.

                      Absolutely no way.

                      The most likely way to acquire the picks you are talking about is to trade Foles.

                        they might get peterson back after he tests the market. he also may not want to leave. i know i'd like to stay in town and enjoy free meals and drinks all season.

                        you can't trade foles until you're sure Wentz will be back no later than week 2 or 3. i'm not optimistic he will be ready for week 1. foles is the best insurance policy in the league.

                          i think they have a good succession plan in place at CB. robinson is gonna get paid. he's also 30 years old. i think it's better to let darby start under his rookie contract, and hope that sidney jones develops into the other starter. then mills goes to the slot.

                              You can never have too many talented corners.

                              They ran a lot of 3 safety packages last year so I'm sure one of the CBs could fill Corey Graham's role if they don't bring him back/draft a replacement.
