I don't think we can get him. If anything, they will package him for the 2nd overall pick. My guess is (if it actually happens) the Eagles trade Sam Bradford to the Browns for the 12 overall pick and give the Titans the 12 overall pick, a third rounder, Fletcher Cox, and Mychel Kendricks for the number 2 pick.. but maybe this is being overblown.

The problem is the amount of money he may want when his contract comes up in a couple of years. 

 

If we can trade #29 for Mychael Kendricks and Fletcher Cox, then we really boost the D, but I am not sure we can keep them moving forward. I would want Kendricks involved. Then we could see about trading Freeman for 4th round pick. 

 

The benefit for the Eagles in an extra #1. Throw in the #19 pick for Bradford from the Browns and you have the #19, #20, and #29 plus potentially a 2016 #1 to move up to #2 for Mariota.

Yes, but it looks like he's a trade chip to get to #2. I doubt he's available for anything else.

 

He wouldn't be, but if we gave up #29, and Bradford goes to Cle for #12, then PHI would have 12, 20 and 29 for Mariota.

He has two years left for a combined 9 million or so and you're worried about the money he'll want in 2017?

Might be available & he would look real good in Blue & White. If you were GM would you move 29 to aquire big Cox?

 

 To replace Langford?

 Seems like the kind of guy that would contibute to making the whole front seven better.

 Actually with his pressure, even the pass D.

  I certainly Question how much a Rookie D-Lineman can help us win a SB the this year.  So YES!

For me, it wouldnt be to replace Langford but Redding. Langford is a little bigger I would match him up at LE to face RTs. Put Big Cox at RE to matchup w/ LTs since hes a much better athlete. And like you I think he would be an upgrade over any DE rookie we could draft. I would make the deal I think he's a borderline pro bowl Dlineman.

We have a LOT of money we are about to dole out in order to keep an array of different players currently on the roster (Castonzo,Hilton, Fleener, Allen, Freeman, and of course Luck).

 

I am not interested in spending a first round pick on a 2 year rental. If we make this type of trade, I would like to ensure we can sign him to an extension.

    • https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-tried-to-trade-up-for-brock-bowers-then-byron-murphy   You seem to be right.
    • Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.
    • Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly. 
    • This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.
    • I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
