Throwing this out for discussion. D.G still tight with Giants F.O. I would think. Beason has more knees problems last I heard. We have a couple of young LB'ers that may help them. What does the huddle think of James Jones in a trade for Klein or Mayo. I know James is 31, but still has tread left. May not be a number 1, but would definitly help. James on a one year deal with the Giants. Yes or no?

Not sure why you felt this deserved its own thread. I mentioned James Jones as a possible cut candidate last week but he had a good game against the Jets and is expected to make the team now. Victor Cruz is also nursing a calf injury so until he gets healthy I don't see the Giants dealing Jones or Randle. Randle being in a contract year would be a good trade target if Cruz wasn't hurt.

I've been reading reports throughout the web about Eagles WR, Riley Cooper. Some reports have been saying that he has been quiet this off season and had a lack luster year in 2014. The man is 27, 6'4" 230 lbs and is going into his 6th season. I'm not saying he can replace KB, but I believe he could be a serviceable WR for us this year and would provide Cam with another tall red zone option. I've been reading rumors around the web that the Eagles might explore a trade for Cooper, because Kelly is using his younger WRs.

What are the thoughts of a trade for Riley Cooper?

Cooper was the worst WR in the NFL last year. That isnt hyperbole. According to PFF, he was the literal worst WR in the league.

 

we can do better.

Cooper was never good. Honestly he's not much better than Bersin. Just got more opportunities. As for trading for James Jones that would be completely ridiculous. He's a #5/6 who's lucky to be on an NFL roster at this point. Why the hell would we trade anything for him? As has been brought up I would like the idea of Randle but I don't think they'll trade him for what we'd be willing to give up. Cruz is completely questionable how good he'll be after the injury and while Beckham is a monster you can't just rely on one guy. Look at what happened in Detroit before they got Tate.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
