And say "Hey we'll give you Boykins and Mathis for Jordan and swapping first rounders." Me I do it in a heartbeat. Guard is addressed, cb is addressed. I then go BPA for my WR and middle linebacker. Is it possible? Thoughts:confused:

Maybe then go:
1 Kendricks
2 Dorsett

hell it wouldn't take much for me to trade this bum
 
I would trade Dion Jordan for a blind guy with no legs.
 
I still see Dion breaking out. It's a no for me.
 
At first glance the trade is appealing, but if you really think about it that value isn't great. Swapping 1sts is worth about a 3rd. So we're giving up Jordan and a 3rd. If Mathis wants out and they are going to trade him than with his age and contract his value on the open market is probably more like a 5th. So it's Jordan and a high pick for Boykins. He has been a terrific nickel back, but I'm assuming if we're giving up that much we're moving him to boundary which is more of an unknown. He's young, on a cheap contract, and he's really good. But that's still a lot of value to give up. I could see us doing it, mostly because of Jordan's contract, but I'd like to think we could get better value.
 
Yes. He doesn't fit our system because the coaches can't use him to his strengths. Take the trade. 100%.
 
Let's see, we receive 2 starters to move down six spots and throw in a BACKUP BENCH player. Uh yeah sign me up. People keep talking about Jordan's value on here. He has very little value to the Miami Dolphins and teams know that. He is a one trick pony which does not work in the NFL. He has a outside speed rush but no other moves so tackles just sit and wait on it. Some on here talk about him being a 4/3 OLB. He could be a good strong side OLB over the TE but would fail as the weak side OLB just as he has at DE for us. The NFL is a what have you done for me lately and Jordan hasn't done squat! So you folks tell me what would you give up to another team to trade for him if he wasn't on our team? BE HONEST!
 
The coaching staff would never want that done being how inept they are at their jobs

Another eagles thread, that only makes 1234,784 of them this month!
 
Wait, what? I don't think so...and before you start...here's why:

Moving down from 14 to 20 is...as has been stated, about a 3rd round value. Here's the thing: In this scenario the Eagles called us.

Evan Mathis, if sentiment around the league is accurate, may well be released ANYWAY. So the prevailing line of thought here is that we're essentially trading #14 and Dion Jordan for #20 and a corner that the Eagles aren't very fond of. It's just not enough. Also...keep in mind that Boykin AND Mathis are on the last year of their contracts.

Now...all that being said...I've thought a LOT about the Eagles trading with the Dolphins over the past couple weeks. Here's what I keep coming to:

#14
Jordan
Aikens

for

#20
Kendricks (also on the last year of his contract)
Boykin
Mathis

Think I'm crazy? Maybe...but this trade makes all the sense in the world to me. Kendricks and Boykin are pretty clearly talented players, but don't seem to be "Chip Kelly" guys...he prefers bigger players (seriously...the Eagles trade for Kiko Alonso should have sent radars pinging across the league about Kendricks). Miami's Mike and Guard situation immediately get better, and Boykin gets a shot at the #2 corner. Dion Jordan moves to the scheme he's designed for, the Eagles get a bigger boundary corner, they're six picks closer to Marcus Mariota, and they get more team-friendly contracts.

There are questions here, (can Kendricks play Mike? Can Boykin play outside? Can Billy Turner play RG?), but this trade makes me salivate every time I think about it.
 
Jordan won't be traded.. for the 280th time... We lose money trading him this year, $6.67mill in dead money.... You're losing 6.6 and putting on 5.5 for Mathis. I'm not a math wizard, but that doesn't work with what we have on the books already, with the draft money.
