I suspect that we'll have another trade with the Eagles

I don't think this has been mentioned before but when we traded Parkey (the kicker) for the running back maybe this was a scratch my back and I'll scratch yours type deal. We cut the running back so we gained nothing and the Eagles didn't have to wait to see if the Parkey cleared waivers up until their turn. 

 

So I think this means that the Eagles will trade a guy to us that they were going to cut anyway for someone we plan on cutting.

 

Makes sense to me, hopefully they have someone Grigson likes.

I didn't think we cut Fluellen... did we?

I am not saying you are wrong. In fact I wouldn't be surprised at all if we had another trade with the eagles.

No, Fluellen is still here. You can watch him live tonight as the Indianapolis Colts take on the Cincinnati Bengals

I think the mutual back scratching was entirely encompassed in the Parkey/Fluellen trade.

Ah, so the first back scratching what when they took Kevin Thomas off our hands and this was our payback?

 

No, I think we got Fluellen, and they got Parkey, and that's the mutual back scratching. I don't think we'd have agreed to take Fluellen and carry him on our roster, past first cuts, if we didn't actually want him.

    • This is probably the strongest I've seen the Central division in my lifetime. I feel like any of these teams could beat any other team in the country on a good night. 
    • At 15 I see BTJ or AD Mitchell being available.  I don't see Ballard trading up.   Verse is a possibility too.  Q Mitchell as well.   So I think that is your "cluster" of players at 15.
    • Yes, Wentz can't come ever close to Kirk's abilities but that's not my point.   You need to re-read what I said, the best way to explain Cousins' issues is to be a fan of his team and experience his play when you're emotionally invested in the franchise's success.   That doesn't mean they are comparable.   Being much better than Wentz means no big endorsement either.    As for the excuses you made for Cousins, I look forward to hearing all the similar excuses from Falcons forums! Gonna be Awesome for a change after past half-decade!   I'll say one thing - Colts fans can't handle 1 year of Wentz, including the owner. And half year of Ryan, including the owner. Vikings had shown better patience with Cousins in 6 years, when his first two years ended like Wentz' year with Colts, except for the difference of lot of fantasy stats and highlight reels. You'd again point to how Cousins is so much better than Wentz, and it will be a circular argument - which is why I tried to explain what Superman felt and how it reflects being a fan of Cousins' team. 
    • Regardless of Ballard's talk about the current CB room, I think he's still taking a CB in 1st round 
    • I felt exactly the same as you. Let me ask all those that disagree this question... are the colts a better team due to cutting Rodgers ? Does anyone think that if Rodgers were on the team , it would be a distraction or cause just what problems ? Does anyone really think that Rodgers is going to in anyway "hurt " Philly's team chemistry.
