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.

    • Chris Ballard, the enigmatic mastermind behind the Indianapolis Colts' draft selections, continues to astound with his unconventional approach to player evaluation. Known for his ability to turn perceived draft flops into valuable lessons in resilience, Ballard has elevated the art of optimism in the face of adversity.   Take, for instance, his selection of Quincy Wilson, a cornerback whose career trajectory seemed to follow the path less traveled—straight to the sidelines. Wilson's ability to excel in the role of 'spectator extraordinaire' brought a new dimension to the Colts' bench, proving that even inactivity can be a form of contribution.   Then there's TJ Green, whose ability to redefine the term 'safety' by providing the opposing offense with a false sense of security is a testament to Ballard's commitment to strategic innovation. Green's unpredictable presence on the field undoubtedly kept quarterbacks on their toes, in excitement.    And who could forget Ben Banogu, a defensive end whose knack for demonstrating the art of camouflage by seamlessly blending into the turf has left spectators marveling at his commitment to environmental integration. Banogu's ability to remain inconspicuous during critical moments showcases Ballard's emphasis on adaptability and the importance of being one with your surroundings.   Ballard's genius lies not just in his ability to select players, but in his skillful navigation of the delicate dance between expectation and reality. His selections may not always align with conventional wisdom, but they consistently challenge perceptions and redefine what it means to be a draft bust.   As Ballard continues to forge ahead, his unorthodox approach serves as a beacon of hope for aspiring NFL general managers everywhere, including those perusing fan forums. Because if there's one thing Chris Ballard has taught us, it's that in the unpredictable world of professional football, even the most unexpected outcomes can be reframed as victories in disguise.   AKB
    • He started 14 games at SS in 2019 and started 8 games in 2018 for the Jags.  I meant to post this earlier in the thread.   https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HarrRo02.htm        
    • The additions of say Taylor, Raimann, and looking back to Leonard could be called important, savy drafting.  Our Colts have been waiting for awhile for a special, difference making player to surprisingly fall to US. Right when we really really needed it to happen, it sure looks like we got two of them. 🙏 for good health.  AR a surprise at 4, not at all.  But      
    • You're not certain...but you know it's a fact.  How does that work? Haha
