Ronald Darby on trade block?

[KDawg004]

Looks like the Eagles are looking to unload contracts after the Bennett acquisition. Rumors floating around that Darby will be the one dealt. I know some are not pleased with Bradberry and Worley. Darby has 1 year $1M left on his contract.

Guessing you meant Darby.

Didn't Darby get traded last year too?

Fixed. Good catch. Damn autocorrect.

Yes. He was part of the trade that sent Jordan Matthews to Buffalo.

Gotta start wondering when a good young player is on the trade block for twice for two different teams before his rookie contract has even expired.

Just for paper reasons, can someone post the PFF grades of worley and darby please?

[RumHam]

i'd let capt go and move worley to nickel if we could get an improvement. I'd say it's worth it for just next year and if he proves worthy, worry about resigning him next year.

Capt has a contract that makes that tough.  In addition, I would go with Corn Elder, sight unseen, before moving Worley there---but that is just me.

A third is too rich in my opinion---in this draft, you can get an equally-skilled CB with a low-cost, 4-year contract with that third. 

[imminent rogaine]

Yea idk about a third knowing that the contract is only a year.

Seriously doubt that we cut Captain based on that salary unless it was a roster limit or comp pick type thing.

If we did move away from Worley at CB, I'd honestly be curious if he could transition to FS. He seems pretty decent when he has his head upfield on the QB.

OK, here is the upside--we would be able to draft another position in the first or second round.

He is an experienced, #1 CB that could allow Bradberry to move to #2.  He is cheap this year--we could lock him down next year after Kalils and Davis are gone.

Changed my mind.  Do this deal. With limited cap room this year, it is worth it.

Yes please

Didn't Darby struggle in coverage last year, especially in the playoffs?

Eagle viewpoint: http://www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-rumor-birds-trading-cornerback-third-round-pick/

Additional reason to do this: He is 24 years old with 3 years of experience.  Had 3 picks in 2017 in about 8 games--coming off an injury.

While my initial reaction was not positive, the Eagles are trying to get something for him to avoid losing him next season.  Bad side?  All of our CBs (Bradberry, Worley, and Darby would be getting new deals in 2019.
