That is what I have been telling people all day.
We drafted him in the 4th and he has way over performed based upon that draft slot.

Nobody was giving up a 3rd for him.



Ceedy was worth more than a 5th and 6th just for this year.

This is an embarrassing display of not understanding value.

It's so bad, it makes me wonder if there is something else to it (like he and Mike Thomas just weren't going to co-exist).

I’m sure the Eagles and the rest of the NFL were going to give us a 3rd but we only requested a 5th and 6th?

We're not there, for all we know other team members could have been telling staff to get him the frick out of there. We already know he was refusing to let the coaches coach him. I'm sure that didnt sit well with Allen, who's not just the HC, but still the DC in all but name.


Yeah, I mean he came out of Florida with a reputation of having a bad attitude. I have no problem believing this was becoming an issue and he could cause some problems in the locker room and down the line for the team.

He was a playmaker no doubt and sad to loose that. But if you lose the locker room - that's worse.

Correct - we did it at the worst time - got minimum value & sent him to a team that we shouldn’t have sent him to now.

Do I feel like we should have gotten a 3rd? Yeah. Do I think we could have gotten a 3rd? Given what we got I doubt it.

Apparently him wanted to get paid mega bucks was a huge detriment to his value.

And if we kept him for 1 more year we have no clue if things would have gone south or if he would have even played.

The melts were epic yesterday. We bitch about not paying guys. We bitch about paying guys too much. We bitch about not getting something for them before its too late. We bitch about the cap troubles then bitch about not giving in to player demands etc etc on and on.

Fandom is like women. Can't live with them or without them

But damn I liked this dudes game just wish he had gone to the afc

Why not put the franchise tag on him at the end of the season if they were so worried he would walk in FA. Gives you more time to work things out if you really wanted to keep him

The Eagles just got a 7th and a conditional 4th for Jalen Reagor. Their fans are pretty happy he’s gone.

What if he needed to be traded?

i.e.

The Saints wanted/needed to get rid of him

Maybe not a bad deal after all

When you can’t wait to get rid of a player, you lose negotiating power

Im not as knowledgeable on the situation as some of you guys but if we couldn’t come to terms it would seem we really didn’t have any leverage and just took what we could get.
