MERGED 2X:Dolphins have trade opportunity with EAGLES/Trade with Philly

I trade only for high level draft picks.

Nothing else.

what did TO do for the Eagles last year? OMG, you must be kidding right? If Mcnabb had just continued to throw to him, they could have won the game. Mcnabb is very overrated. Hail to Rush Limbagh! :lol:

Well said. It just stuns me the people that say they wouldn't want Owens for anything. This guy is one of the toughest competitors in the league and may very well be the best WR. He has attitude problems but to say that he is not worth anything is just absurd. Donovan had nothing without TO.

Fact is Marty Booker would be valuable to the Eagles. But, considering that they never trade unless they are getting a good deal player for player and not need. Eagles have always drafted based on BPA and they mostly trade the same way. They also don't panic, sometimes they should be panicing but in the long run they have not sacrificed their future for the current. In fact as far as teams go they have been successful and yet are still one of the best teams geared up for the future. The only way they trade for Booker is if they give us crap in return. Think about what they traded for TO and then ask yourselves if we would get anything more than a 4th round pick for Booker. Or some backup OL that is 3rd on their depth charts.
 
Im still freakin out at the 20 million we are givin Brown in Guaranteed money...salary cap crunch....shoot..imagine us given Brown that...a guy who never even played a down in the NFL...imagine what TO thinks he deserves....50 million over 3 years...shooo our Salary Cap would be destroyed....

No one is giving up a 2nd rounder for Booker or Boston, the best you'd get is a mid to late rd pick.

no one gives up a 2nd rounder for Booker or Boston......nor do u give up a 2nd rounder for a 3rd string QB by the name of AJ Feeley:D ....but we still did that:cry:
 
What about Philly?

We are stocked at WR.....if the T.O. melodrama (God i hate that bassturd) continues, what do they have at CB or S that they may part with for a Booker Thompson or Boston?

Talk amongst yourselves.................
 
Some people know nothing about the business aspect of football. I wish we had a salary cap 101 thread that everyone HAD to read before making these threads.

I'll break it down for you guys... the Eagles have Lito signed until 2011. His contract is VERY VERY cap friendly. You dont trade a pro bowl CB at a young age on a VERY cap friendly contract.

So many people only see things through our POV.... there is a reason that we think trading for him would be a dream, because it is and there is no way that the philly FO would ever even consider that trade.

Philly's CB's are set for another 7 years, they are not trading either of them.
 
I don't know if anyone has mentioned him yet.... but, what is the deal with Corey Simon, is he holding out anymore? I know he would kill our cap, but would help out the D-Line a lot.
 
Actually, the trade that would make the most sense is to send Philly a RB, not a WR. If Correll Buckhalter is done, and he may be, they will want a bigger back to bear some of the load. Ricky Williams (once he gets up to 225 or so) and Lamar Gordon (228#) both fill the bill. The Eagles are one of the few teams that might be in a position to overlook the fact that Williams will miss four games. They're looking for a complementary part, not an answer to their prayers, and could surely get by in the short term with what they have.

I'd happily take a conditional draft pick for one of those two. Given all the problems they're having with TO, they might prefer Gordon, to minimize the number of headcases in camp.

I think he signed a long-term deal, but I might be wrong. They almost dealt him to Baltimore for a pair of 2nd rounders, so he'd be out of our price range, considering how much Saban wants to hoard draft picks. Even if, by some act of God, we could get a 2nd round pick for Williams or Gordon, that still means we'd have to fork over a #2 in 2006, which Saban won't want to do.

Well said Phun. I still dont see it happening, but your point is well taken.

That is not a very realistic trade at all.



If you want to get technical about it, it is because his value to other teams is higher right now than his value to us, since his value to us is represented by the difference between his value and the value of the "next best option" (which would be Boston, or Gilmore)...while his value to a team like the Eagle is the difference between Booker's value and the value of their "next best option" and since our "next best option" is plausibly better than theirs, the disparity creates the possibility for trade.
