Integrity28 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Kiko Alonso, Byron Maxwell and their contracts (specifically the ridiculous contract given to Maxwell) getting traded to Miami. Sounds like draft picks will be exchanged as well. Might be fair to assume that Philly is getting back higher picks. Demarco Murray is also being traded to Tennessee. Not sure what the Eagles will get in return, assuming draft picks. This is something to keep an eye on. The Eagles are amassing a lot of picks, potentially, and clearing a lot of cap space by ridding themselves of bad contracts. Possible that they're looking to bundle and move up in the draft, get Pederson a QB to launch his HC career with... except Sam Bradford, right? So... perhaps they'll use their picks to re-tool that whole roster. Or... I know they hired Jim Schwartz as the DC, and Mo is more of a 3-4 end, but could they be a dark horse to trade for him... now that they've cleared cap space and could potentially have the picks to exchange?

Saved $8.5 Million with Maxwell, and $4 Million with Murray. Yes, they took some dead money, but he obviously valued the $12.5 Million more than their contribution.

Heard a few weeks ago that it was $8 million to keep him or $13 mil hit to cut/trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His salary will transfer, and the prorated bonuses are $4 Million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealeb319 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Jets should check with them to see what it would cost to acquire Sproles. He is cheap and would be a pretty good fit for our system if they were willing to give him up for a fourth it might be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would't go as high as a 4 though with as much value as teams are placing on picks. They gave up a 4 to get him a couple years ago IIRC. I think Howie Roseman wants to acquire as many picks as possible to re-build. I'd offer a 7 and see if they bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - he traded away Shady McCoy and picked Alonso in return (who is now in Miami). He acquired Murray to replace Shady (who is now in Tenn). Rumour has it Ryan Mathews is next.

Difficult match up for any DC. Go get the guy Mcc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles got him from the Saints for a 5th rd pick so a 7th could work I guess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
