AFJF Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 http://phi.247sports.com/Bolt/Could-Brandon-Marshall-be-a-fit-for-the-Eagles--48545173 The Philadelphia Eagles are in the market for a wide receiver as the NFL trade deadline is just days away. While the Eagles and San Francisco 49ers have discussed sending Torrey Smith to Philadelphia, Sports Illustrated writer Albert Breer proposed another solution that would help rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. Marshall is certainly someone worth inquiring about and would easily be the Eagles No. 1 receiver if they were able to execute a deal. Through seven games this season, Marshall has 30 catches for 472 yards and an two touchdowns, averaging 15.7 yards per catch of the New York Jets and their 22nd-ranked pass offense. The Philadelphia Eagles face the hated-Dallas Cowboys this week as first place in the NFC East is on the line. Make sure you’re in the loop for all Eagles news --take five seconds to sign up for our FREE Eagles newsletter now! However, Marshall has struggled to catch the football as he currently leads the NFL with six drops and has an abysmal catch percentage of 44.1 percent. The Jets playoff hopes are bleak at 2-5 and they may want to receive compensation for the 32-year-old Marshall, who is on the hook for just $4.75 million for the remainder of this season and $7.5 million in 2017. With just $12.25 million owed for the remainder of his contract, Marshall would be in the Eagles price range. In his 11-year career, Marshall has 912 catches for 11,745 yards and 81 touchdowns. Marshall has been selected for six Pro Bowls and was a First Team All-Pro in 2012. He has compiled eight 1,000-yard seasons and has caught over 100 passes in a season six times. Marshall would be the top receiver Wentz needs in his development as a NFL quarterback. With Marshall, the Eagles would be contenders to not only make the playoffs, but go on a deep run in January.

Charlie Brown Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yea get rid of the best WR we have in years before we get anyone of competence to throw to him. Yea if we got a second maybe but we have to not think about getting rid of our good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'd be pissed if the Jets got offered a 2nd for B. Marsh & didn't take that deal. He's going into his 12 year, has a lot of mileage, loses his concentration a lot now & he's another guy that won't be here for our transformation. If they could trade Sheldon for a 2nd they should do that too. You go into a draft with 3 second round picks you could be in position to trade back for additional future picks. We ain't paying Mo, Sheldon & Leo who's better than Mo & Sheldon. Macc needs to be a bold mofo building the NY Jets to kick 40 year old Tom Brady to the curb in 2018. He'd have a chance to build this team right. Sign Glennon and keep on keeping on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Love the guy, best offensive weapon we've had in about a decade, but it really all depends on the asking price. For a 2nd I don't think twice, for a 3rd I'd think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Everybody has a price. We got him for a 5th rounder, he's well on the wrong side of 30, and we're not contending this year. Anyone here really going to say that if Philly came along and offered a 1st rounder for him.....you'd turn it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The eagles wouldnt be that stupid. Wentz needs a guy to grow with. Not a guy at the backend of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSD4ME Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 It would have to be a deal we couldn't refuse. We would also have to feel pretty good about the young WRs we have.

Raideraholic Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Just how healthy is Brandon Marshall these days? Tough to see the Eagles or another team offering any high pick for a guy on wrong side of thirty, and battling assortment of injuries this year. Sheldon Richardson remains the Jets best trade chip .

jamesr Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 No way would we get a decent enough pick to make it worth it. And - hasn't Marshall gone on record before as saying the Jets are his last team? Trades have to work for the players too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinstar Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I love what Brandon Marshall brings to this team, but not the way he makes us 1 dimensional with this starting QB.

ScarletKnight89 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 It makes no sense to get rid of Marshall if we’re trying to groom a young QB at some point. Like Breer mentioned himself. He’s only on the books for $7.5 million next year as well. You have to keep him. He’s been great in the locker room, and it seems like he loves playing here. He’s a great receiver who would be a young QB’s best friend due to his great route running, height, and ability to fight for the football when it’s in the air. He does drop the ball a lot but he makes up for it throughout the course of the game/season. Plenty of great receivers drop the ball. You can’t get rid of him IMO unless you’re getting a 1st round pick for him in return. And nobody is going to give the Jets that. He makes it easier for other guys to get open on the offense as well. IMO, rebuilding or not, he’s a guy we should be looking to extend until his play drastically declines. He’s so important to the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different QB might not just lock in on Marshall. And it's not like we are locked into Fitz long term or anything. Hell, the short time Geno played, he was spreading the ball out more. So I really think it's just a Fitz thing. Not a long term problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he Marshall isnt around, I have to recalculate my rest of the season predictions. He throws the same way to all his receivers. Behind them and off target. I prefer to say he is proficient in the back shoulder pass. Even on slants and crossing patterns. Hitting a receiver in stride is for pussies. Brandon and his super cyborg abilities catches them better than any one else. That whole leading the league in drops things is over stated. Decker too pretty handle backshoulder passes every play. Rest of roster too green. Enuwa well on his way to being a cyborg. Front office sabotaging Fitz surrounding him with anything less than multiple pro bowler cyborgs.

How many more years does Marshall have left at this level? Two years for BM beyond this one. The plain truth is the Jets talent has been awful for over a decade. The idea that you just give up talented players who also don't crumble playing in this market is also very important. BM likes playing here and can take the pressure of NY. He has been a beast since he has been here. He gave the offense a real identity and he backs down from no one. You dont give that up for a maybe unless you get a second. Next year depending on circumstances a third. And the year after that whatever you can. So maybe next year I would do if the team were still in the same situation as now. But if it is we are looking for then just trading BM but perhaps a new HC as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blocker Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I get the impression Marshall has become a solid vet leader and great influence on the younger players. He will be a huge asset as the Jets break in Petty and Hackenberg. I know he's not perfect, and consideration of any possible trade depends on what you get in return. But in general, I hate the concept of trading Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
