Jim Irsay, now (23/08)

Heck I dont think they would do that trade, Hunt has 2 sacks in 9 games plus hes younger plus he doesnt cost 14 million, We'd likely have to throw in a draft pick in my opinion, I'd be shocked if they did. My guess is this trade has to do with Redding going down. I dont know the extent of the injury but he did look in alot of pain

I agree. Cullen Jenkins can probably play the 3-4 DE like he plays the 4-3 DT and at 305 lbs, is suited for that 3-4 DE role.

I'm aware of the Freeney-Eagles rumor. It is NOT confirmed, and the source for the rumor is sketchy. I'd be shocked if Freeney is traded.

[Kyle]

Freeney for Jenkins and Rodger-Cromartie ;)

[Marcio James]

Freeney for C Jenkins???

I'd be shocked if Wells could hit the broadside of a barn.

Redding is supposedly fine. Slight sprained MCL. Hunt IMO would not even fit our system, he is 4-3 DE not an OLB. And did I miss something that said this is a trade with the Eagles or is everybody just jumping to conclusions?

[SilentHill]

Twitter is saying trade involves an Eagles DL

[WSO]

Freeney for Painter

[Kyle]

I dont know what is happening but i am freakin excited :dancing:

Freeney for Painter

Lol.

[Dan]

It won't be Freeney. Eagles have an exceptional D-line, why would they add to it with someone on the wrong side of 30 and a huge contract?

[John Waylon]

Because it's the Eagles...

Hunt is with the Eagles but it wont be for him anyway but he is built like an OLB 6'0 248

Maybe they want the Giants' NASCAR package with 3 or 4 DEs in the 260 plus weight range for the rotation and Jenkins does not give them that???

I think the giants have shown that you can't have to many quality D lineman, keeping those big guys fresh thats a huge plus. As far as why the Eagles would take an "older" player like Freeney, I think they are at a point they have to win now before the window closes on some of the older guys.

[SilentHill]

Sometimes I think Grigson just calls up the Eagles and says, "So, we havent traded in a while... Who do you have up for grabs?"

[Boiler_Colt]

Find the person on the Eagles DL that you've never heard of and that's who it'll be. For an undisclosed 2014 pick

[theblueplague]

Does Grigson realize there are 30 other teams out there he can also trade with?

[WSnotch]

I dont know, Make a thread about it.

Just be thankful it's the Eagles and Ravens we are picking from, not the Browns and the Raiders.

[Gavin]

I'd take a Richard Seymour lol

[FightLikeSin]

I'd take a Richard Seymour lol

I'd take Joe Haden, but we haven't made any trades for any teams best player yet

[Mameluc]

Ii hope is not MJD.

im ok with wallace but bah i dont think its such a big need.

I would love Jenkins, hanson, hunt, graham from the eagles

or a freaking RG that wont get kicked in the mouth

oh yea seymour would be fine too

[HarassedOffTheSite]

I know this much....it better not be a guy we were gonna cut next week for a guy they were gonna cut next week. Not after spinning us up like that!

[Gavin]

I'd take Joe Haden, but we haven't made any trades for any teams best player yet

Freeney for Revis straight up lol, Of course it would never happen

[Mr.Debonair]

Somebody give Grigson the phone numbers for the other 30 NFL teams

[mark5362]

Me and Jim are just trading guitars,that's all.

[Grav]

Freeney for Brandon Graham of the Eagles?? He would prob be better suited for the 3-4 OLB

[WSnotch]

John Clayton ‏@ClaytonESPN

Sounds like the Colts are working on a trade. Jim Irsay tweeted trade winds blowing. They are looking for inside linebackers and CBs

[Balzer40]

I hope its Jenkins, but I doubt it. He's really the only guy that makes sense. Jenkins got into a screaming match with Reid the other day and Grigson and Pagano said they want guy's familiar playing in the 3-4 scheme. To my knowledge, Jenkins is the only one of their current guys that fits the mold. The rest of their DE's are 4-3 guys, and they are not gonna trade Fletcher Cox to us.

[FightLikeSin]

"The Professor" John Clayton just tweeted : Sounds like the Colts are working on a trade...They are looking for inside linebackers and CB's."

If he's right...I'd say the D-Lineman in question is Freeney for a CB. Not a D-lineman from the Eagles. If that's the case...I'm hoping it's Nnamdi or DRC. They've got Boykin who has done really well so far. I dunno...I hope it's not another no-namer.

[Mr.Debonair]

I don't want Graham

[Kyle]

just be happy we are trying to improve our lineup. probably more trades this off season than the last 5 combined. Grigson is not complacent with where are team is. I love it

[Gavin]

No way are we looking for an inside linebacker john again from the eagles, I'd LOVE to get Boykin, hes the one I wanted after Jenkins got drafted but it wont happen

[StewieG]

Gotta love how this front office works to improve all the time. You can tell they actually use the pre season to see who fits and who doesn't, then makes moves if necessary.
