The likelihood of #10 running out of the Eagles tunnel in 2014 is rapidly diminishing. Rumors are swirling, and although the coach and general manager like to stay out of spotlight, they have done nothing to silence trading Desean Jackson. Our most productive wide receiver in 2013, and sales tag is saying “third round.”
In comparison, two notable trades for big name wide receivers occurred with Randy Moss and Percy Harvin. In 2007, the Patriots sent a 4th round draft pick to the Raiders for Moss. In 2013, the Seahawks sent a 1st and 7th round pick in addition to the following seasons 3rd round pick to the Vikings. Completely different returns the Raiders and Vikings received, so which is more likely for the Eagles to have happen if they unload D-Jax?
A tremendous weapon in Chip Kelly’s offense last season, it appears that his “character” is not fitting well with the new Eagles culture. So what is the value for Desean? I think the value is greatest with finding the best trade partner.
In my opinion, the New York Jets should be contacted if they have not already called the Eagles.
Geno Smith had a lot of success with Tavon Austin during his career at West Virginia. The Jets have already signed Decker, a bigger body receiver and D-Jax would really help out the sophomore QB with his speed and playmaking ability.
With Marty running the offense in NY, this would be a perfect match, especially if Vick also ends up signing there. What I like about this landing spot for Desean even more, is the possibility of landing a player like Quinton Coples.
A former first round selection, Coples is currently playing OLB in the Jets 3-4 defense, but I believe he is better suited for the defensive line. He would bring a nice set of intangibles to what we already have in Cox, Thorton and Logan. Vinnie Curry would be a name I would add to this potential deal. Curry could add depth behind Wilkerson and Richardson for the Jets defensive line.
Breaking down the trade:
The New York Jets send: DE/OLB Coples and their 3rd round pick and (Tampa Bay’s 4th) ** acquired in the Revis trade.
The Philadelphia Eagles send: WR Desean Jackson and DE Vinnie Curry.
SInce Revis was released, I don’t belive the Bucs owe that 3rd Round Pick to the Jets any longer…
The Deal with the Jets may work like this …
Eagles Trade D-Jax & Brandon Graham to the Jets for the 3rd Round Pick
in 2014 and QB Mark Sanchez (who agrees to re-do his Current Contract which would never Fly)
QB Mike Vick signs a 2 Year Deal with the Jets this Weekend
D-Jax reunited wit Vick help Set Jet Franchise Records as the Jets go 14-2 and into the Super Bowl in 2015…
Meanwhile back in Cheesesteakland, Mark Sanchez replaces Nick Foles who separates his Shoulder in Week #3 of the Preseason and leads the Eagles to a 2-14 Record and with the #1 Pick of the NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles Select QB Marcus Mariotta of the University of Oregon…
Remember, You heard it here First…
Would Sanchez immediately become the best looking male athlete in Philadelphia sports? The pick the Bucs are sending would have been a 3rd if they had not released Revis, it’s a 4th since they did. Unless the Eagles get a starter “now” player to fill a needed role on the defense, no draft pick combination is going to make sense to me. Harvin got the Vikings a 1st, 7th and a 3rd the following year. There are going to be players on your team that have “drama.”
This is not high school or college coaching, this is at the pro level. This should be a challenge and not a setback for Chip if this is over something big. It’s going to happen again with some player at some time while Chip is our head coach. Between these multi million dollar contracts and a players ability to use social media to get their “point made” it’s a whole new era for the professional athlete. If it’s Chip’s style to not do interviews, updates, etc., that’s fine, just win football games.
D-Jax may have games where it appears he disappears from his stat line, and he has had moments of child-like behavior with his outbursts and lack of effort.
At the end of the day, we are better off for the 2014 season with D-Jax. I have no idea how much or how little we should be making with all of this, but it has taken on a mind of its own, so we might as well go with it.
The Bucs still owe the Jets a 4th round pick!!! Read the story before you try to act like you know something. Damn dude get a job, you spend to much time on here pretending!
P-man,
I think you just blew my mind.
LOL. Holy cow. This offseason is surreal.
Rather do brandon than Curry too I want to hold onto Curry Let me tell u something some guys on this site complaining bout he should stay and hes so great well guess what he goes to 49s where he sees cam chanceller and sherman twice whoooooooweeeeeeeeee he be busted up so fast watch how he would be dropping to ground after catch so not to get hit!Then the idiots that think he so great would see him for what he is on the field we already know what hes like off me first, complaining and shit its business they got ball club to run they dont want the friggin drama mama! hehe
The phillies just has a press conference with Amaro and Rollins with Amaro squashing all trade rumors that’s been going around, that’s how it’s done, the Eagles should take a page from them if its not true about trading DJak, if not don’t expect a trade till draft time.
That’s only because J-Ro will not give in on his
“No-Trade Clause” so GM Anaro has no choice butvtovretain which in essence, he has now thrown New Manager Sandberg
Under the Bus… My guess is that Amaro Fires Sabdberg by June 15th
And brings back Charlie Manuel down from his Consulting Role
You heard it here a First…
I would LOVE for that to happen. The season is going to stink one way or another.
I’ll enjoy the stink more with Charlie than with Ryno.
Bring back Wheels and Sarge too, Moyer and that Canadian one-hit-wonder suck bad.
Who cares if he gives in or not? If they want to send a message they would sit Rollins all season until he caves and requests a trade, its very easy to do to a player who wants to play, if you have a player already on the team you feel can play that position then it doesn’t matter how much he makes, Amaro did that cause that’s how its done, you let rumors go on long enough and they take on a life of their own as is the case with DJak, you squash a rumor in the very beginning before it disrupts the team, take note Howie n Chip.
The guy who wrote this is either dumb or high who in the hell wants couples they better get a 2nd and 3rd pick for mesean Paulman you can keep ur Sanchez.
I am telling you, Chip Kelly likes QB Sanchez..
If there’s no trade, the Jets are going to cut him anyways
as they would love to get rid of that Cap hit by Trading him..
Don’t you just love this time of year..
An under the radar trade Partner could be the Jaguars
As far as D-Jax goes, burry him to a weak opponent
In the AFC.. Jags have early Round Selections so a 2nd Rounder is almost like a late 1st Rounder
It would have to be a 2nd and 3rd picks
Risky move trading Jackson.
Chip will be a legend if the team improves after trading Jackson.
I like that trade scenario…But I really want Josh Gordon in a trade. I remember last season Cleveland were trying to get rid of him. Could you imagine having “Flash” Gordon, Cooper and Maclin on the same team..that would be the shit
You must be a Jets fan with a deal like that…DJax AND Curry for Coples and a 3???? Hey Jeff, why not throw Shady McCoy in the deal too since we’re having a giveaway sale to the Jets!!
Zach Berman on DNL last night said he spoke to numerous NFL executives and GMs about the DJax situation and everyone of them laughed. He said they said Chip Kelly wont last 3 years if he thinks hes gonna get rid of every player who is a supposedto be a “Diva”. They told him most DBs and WR are divas and that’s what makes them tick. He was told you need more than “hes a me first” person as a reason to get rid of these mega rich superstars. For the Eagles to remove DJax and depend on Cooper, Maclin on a 1 year deal and a unproven rookie the executives said that would be ridiculous. He was told probowl players aren’t traded. The last time in the last 30 years probowl players were traded was Portis for Champ Bailey and Eric Dickerson for Cornelius Bennett, Greg Bell etc. and of course the Hershel trade.
So he’s saying probowlers never get traded, except when they get traded.
No what he is saying is if he can resign some hillbilliy redneck who told the world he will kill all the N$$gas he surely should have no problem with a gang signally player who says throw me the damn ball.
Nice hyperbole……but anyway, this doesn’t have to do with his hand signals. 9NOT DIRECTLY ANYAY)
It has to do with his attitude on the team. With Quitting in the Dallas game. With Quitting in the Minny game. with quitting on the entire 2011 season. Basically ith quitting every time the going gets tough or falls behind by 14. With not getting along with his coaches. With being a me first player.
Do the gang symbols, tattoos and the rest of his well constructed image play a role in that? Probably.
But the bigger issue for Chip is the fact that Desean Jackson has quit on the field several times over the past few seasons, wheras the “hillybilly redneck” has not.
don’t disagree with what you said dag, but i’m not a zach berman fan!
The whole “diva WR = makes them tick” argument is so played out. Shutup. It’s ludicrous to think they have to act like an uneducated asshat in order to be successful.
Tell Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson they need to be “divas” in order to “tick”.
DJax is a tremendous talent, he was even able to put up respectable stats with that awful turnover machine, gets scared and runs Mike Vick. If Djax can get open for a midget with no passing game instincts like Mike Vick he can play with anyone.
BTW Dag,
If “pro bowlers aren’t traded”, then explain the trades for:
Daryl Revis, Hugh Douglas, Terell Owens, Brett Favre, Marshall Faulk, Champ Baily, Ochocinco, Haynsworth, Reggie Bush, Boldin, Cutler, McNabb, Sheppard, Deangelo Hall (from the falcons – not now), Vilma….
just to name a few probowlers that have been traded in the past few years…..some old, some young, many moaning abut their contracts…….
or a Jordy Nelson,Anquan Boldin, Andre Johnson, Wes Welker, Damarius Thomas,AJ Green, Julio Jones, Greg Jennings, Torrey Smith, Kennan Allen,
Vincent Jackson,Marquis Colston, etc,etc….
Most NFL Players are True Professionals on and off the Field but as in any other group or segemt of our Society, there are those bad apples that try to spoil things and ruin it for everyone else .. Not much you can do about it but address it, eliminate the distractions and move forward..
I believe the Eagles are in the “eliminate disractions” Phase right now in regards of the D-Jax Situation…
“No what he is saying is if he can resign some hillbilliy redneck who told the world he will kill all the N$$gas he surely should have no problem with a gang signally player who says throw me the damn ball.”
Pretty much.
But Jax is getting traded. My Uncle called it awhile back…I disagreed…but on this he is (likely) right. The “me first” stuff is just..whatever…WR are Divas. Everyone knows this. The real thing is Kelly wants a Big WR for this offense (think a TO type) and they need a bargaining chip to get it. Jax is that chip.
Think the trade is a bad idea for a number of reasons. But anyone who gets Jax will def upgrade their offense instantly.
Welcome back TS, coming back strong. Good shit tho, I agree with the Djax stuff.
confirmed EAGLES WILL NOT TRADE DESEAN.
ts johnson5 has never been right about anything when it comes to the eagles.
welcome back Desean, its like you never left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#jaccpot
dude seriously u should be a comedian i lose my shit everytime i seebyourbposts lol
‘signing a hillbilly redneck’…funny how name calling and insults seems to be ok now… i don’t get it…
you dont? i think its clear, the person who said that is a racist
i cant wait to have that “gang signally player” back!!!!!!!!!! this offense gonna dominate.
No John Hart called out all the racist…Hillbilly Redneck is ok…….
That being said TS is right Kelly wants a big receiver….That wont quit on the team.
“”(That) doesn’t mean something can’t happen to where a team wants DeSean and that the Eagles—this is also Howie Roseman’s department. The personnel department,” Reese said. “To me it makes sense for the Eagles, that they at least convey to DeSean that he’s fine. That he doesn’t have to believe the rumors that are out there if for no other reason, you want to keep DeSean’s mind in the right place.””
Where there is smoke there is fire. If Jackson doesn’t get traded it’s b/c they don’t like what’s being offered. Notice the silence from anyone official on the matter.
And there is this tidbit:
““There is no way he’s an Eagle this year,” a person close to Jackson told The Morning Call of Allentown. “However it leaked out, it leaked out, and now this is what you have.””
Like I said smoke – fire and all that jazz. We will see how it all plays out.
morning call of allentown said that???????
holy shit!!!!!!!! my mind is blown.
i figure once you came on posting that he will be traded i rejoiced knowing he would be back because you have never been right about anything eagles related.
but jeeeeeeeeeeeeez lewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez MORNING CALL OF ALLENTOWN is more plugged in than adam schefter.
this sucks fellas he is a goner.
Omg mhenski can i have your phone number (no homo) but you crack mebup you are hilarious call of allentown jesus im in tears
its unreal jaccpot jacksons “close sources” hate philadelphia soo much they are calling those free newspapers allentown.
this is getting crazy.
why does he close sources hate philadelphia reporters so much.
gosh darnit he is gone
shoot the morning call is a better paper than the philly papers these days.
i actually read it too. I don’t know how legit it is but it has legs thats for sure.
I’m so glad Byrd is out new safety….oh wait…
Anywho…there was rumblings late last year that Smith (Carolina) was gonna be traded or released – there was a lot of “No ways” “Not gonna happens” “Doesn’t make sense”
Well we know how that played out.
Trade rumors don’t just pop up out of nowhere. Also all of this is easily fixed by an official statement from anyone in the Eagles org.
Hasn’t happened.
If he’s an Eagle come the start of the season – I won’t be surprised.
But if he’s not an Eagle by the start of the season – I REALLY won’t be surprised.
Of course we could focus on “The Call of Allentown” but I guess NESN, ESPN, NFL, Star Ledger and slew of other posts are wrong too.
Yeah. Like I said. Smoke. Fire. All that jazz.
Hello TS,
Long time no hear…
My latest Rumor is that your boy Cam Newton
Will not be Re-signed by the Panthers and will
Hit the Market Next Year …
Do you think the Eagles should go after him?
“Do you think the Eagles should go after him?”
Look if Newton hits the open market Kelly will be the first in line to pick him up. Believe that.
Does he come with his own personal therapist?
just like vick fit the offense like a glove… i see sanity did not creep into your being during your absence!
lol
I see you’re still spouting the same ol’ nonsense. Why doesn’t Keilly have a championship ring again? Yeah…
“just like vick fit the offense like a glove”
Oh I’m sorry…we weren’t ranked the #2 offense when Vick was playing the toughest part of the schedule and when the D was giving up 30 points a game?
But I guess none of that counts ’cause of who was under center. This year we play all of the NFC West. We will see what this offense looks like then.
Wow ts you are a fool
With Vick doing so well I wonder why he stuck with Foles… Further I wonder why Vick is looking for a job…
LOL
‘Cause he’s younger, cheaper and was playing really well.
Or so you’re going to tell me how M. Vick was gonna lose us all those games to all those playoff teams we played against in the second half of the season….oh wait…
But I know. I know. The fact the defense stopped giving up 30 points a game had NOTHING to do with us winning. It was all Foles baby. LOL
Hey cheaper has nothing to do with it… Vick was getting paid holding the clipboard or running chips offense… Go back in your hole
A lot of hostility there Cigar.
You engaged me…not the other way around.
I think you need a hug.
in all seriousness you guys do understand that we are gonna resign vick right? the eagles FO knows fans hate him so they are gonna spin it like vick is coming back to keep jaccpot in check.
LOL
I don’t think he will Mhenski unless he will
Sign for a League Minimum Deal ($1.5 to $2 Million)
Do you think the Eagles will pay him $3-4-5 Million
To be the Back-Up to Foles who will earn
750k next Season??
Damn blue hens with a tough draw in the tourney… Hanging a bit with MSU… But MSU is the real deal
How about Harvard winning over Cincinnati
Which I called
I also have Louisiana-Kafayette over Creighton
And North Dakota State over Oklahona as 1st Round Upsets..
I follow Colkege B-Ball also and love this tine of Year
Only game I missed on so far was that stinkin Harvard game. My bracket is still intact minus the Harvard game, ridiculous…
I missed Ohio State but had them going out on Round 2
Anyways so no big loss there
Watch for North Dakota Stare and Loiusiana-Lafayetteto win their first games
Watch the Guard Elfrid Payton from La-Lafayette, has some real NBA
Potential.. He’s a Junior 6-3″-195lbs and could be a nice Prosoect in the 2bd Round if he declares for Draft
Also SF TJ Warren from NC State is a good NBA Prospect..
Has Ball Skills, can create his own shot and at 6-8″-205lbs has the length
That NBA Teams love.. He’s a Sophomore and led the ACC in Scoring at
24.5 Pts per Game & 7 Rebounds per Game and has the frame to out 10lbs
in 2 Years time in a NBA program .. Only 20 and has a bright Future ahead of him
Thank God just found out desean aint getting traded my friend up in philly is good friends with chris McPherson the dude from PE.com and said it’s all a smokescreen because we want to move up way in the draft to get Khalil mack, don’t know the details but this is a crazy ass situation
Get the heck outta here zilents, Khalil Mack bro? Cmon man hes going top 3-5 tops. What assets could the Birds give up to get into that world?
Only a franchise QB and or a lot of picks could get you that high and we only have 6 total so far, unless they decide to trade future picks..
Let me tell you something though, the only guys you would trade up for are Mack and Watkins.. So if any of this is true, good. But they gotta get Mack or Watkins.
Those are the only locks to be true studs in the league..
zilents you found this out from a friend of yours whose friends with McPherson?
What would mentioning Jackson do if the Eagles plan to keep him anyway? That makes 0 sense..
I’m hearing D-Jax, Eagles #22 and #85th
With Matt Barkley to the Panthers for Cam Newton
Perhaps a little too much moonshine on my part
But I call as I think of them…
Then Eagles Trade Foles to Texans for their
#33 rd and #97th Picks and a 3rd Rounder in 2015
In the end, Eagles end up with
QB Cam Newton and the following Picks
#33
#54
#97th
#114th
#150th
Pman u smoking same stuff as cigar
kumbaya… Cary Williams is a jerk yet we keep him. I don’t get this BS story. I know this is Jeff Lurie
These fools better get a first rounder out of this pure unadulterated BS
According to a source of zilents, theyre saying this Jackson thing is nothing more than a smokescreen and that all the Eagles wanna do is move up in the draft to get Khalil Mack..
Doesn’t make sense to me either..
The NFL Network is reporting Mike Vick is now a New York Jet. Paulman….buddy…you got this one wrong. I said Vick was going to the Jets. Sanchez has been cut.
Eagles will invite Sanchez to NovaCare for a Workout and possible signing for chump change to be the Back-Up to Foles…
Good for Vick, glad he has a Team to Compete as the Jets have made some nice moves adding WR Decker, etc.. Just not sure how much Vick is an upgrade over QB Geno Smith but Smith should be able to learn alot from Vick if he’s mature about it which will help him in the long run..
**NFL NEWS***
Raiders Trade 6th Round Drat Pick for Texans QB Matt Schaub
Steelers Sign WR Lance Moore (from Saints)
Giants Sign OL John Jerry (from Dolphins) – That’s 3 New OL this Off-Season for the Giants as they rebuild their Team
Texans Signed QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to a 2 Year Deal (from Titans)
Falcons sign WR/Returnman Devin Hester (from Bears)
DE Jarred Allen leaves Seattle with No Deal intact and is mulling over his Future, which he says he will decide on whether to accept one of Offers from the Seahawks or Cowboys or simply Retire.. My $$$ is on him Retiring
Songsrme…you can uncross your fingers, yout toes, your eyes, arms and whatever else…Mike Vick will not be coming back to the Eagles to back up Foles and come in to rescue the team when…as you put it…Foles gets blasted and goes down…I gues you will now add the Jets to your team along with the 49ers, Seahawks and Panthers.
1 year…5 mil for Vick! Good luck bro….you are a stand up guy and a leader of men.
Tere was no way eagles were going to pay VIck what his market value is ..
They are paying Foles 750K for 2014, so a $1.5 Million Deal to Vick (league Minimum) was going to be the miost the Eagles would pay and Vick as a 11-12 Year Vet just can’t play for that and the Eagles simply can’t pay their Back-up 4-5 Times more than what they are paying their Starter,
so it was really a No-Brainer that Vick had to move on..
Paulman seriously bro, you have been wrong so many, so many more times than you have been right
You have been reduced to cheap jokes and entertainment
It’s time paulman , time to retire
Sheesh, harsh but true
I know it kills you guys when I’m right,
but that’s the way it goes..
Did you really think the Eagles were going to Pay Vick $5 Million to be the
Back-Up to Foles who will earn $750K in 2014 …
Think about it .. Now who is the Fool here..
I know your directing this at Jake because you know I could care less. But hes right you are wrong wrong wrong ALOT then beat your little chest when your occasionally right..
Why I call you Wrongman paulman…
Really JH, No one cares what you think..
Remember, Vick will be playing on a 1 year prove it deal..
Watch him beat Geno out for the starting job, then make the playoffs and win a SB… then retires.. sheesh
Vicky and the Jets!
