Wentz update: Trade is close, with three teams involved

eagles should have never fired peterson

[BurnNChinn]

49ers are the 3rd team not us. Looks like if 49ers can’t get Wentz they want Darnold. The team that called Seahawks about Wilson was the Dolphins.

Probably Bears or Colts will get him. Haven't heard anything about us.

Houston might be the surprise team here however

Yeah I seen something about Miles Sanders saying SB. You think they going after Watson?

Yeah I saw Benjamin Albright say they called. He just thinks it was just to feel them out and possibly gauge qb value. What are you hearing?

If Wetnz is moved, is Hurts really their guy or just the starter by default?

And the plot thickens....

 

Holy crap--never thought of this.

I wonder if Houston was the team calling about R Wilson.

Swapping Watson for an equally good (but older) QB would make sense.

[Mr. Scot]

It would actually make some sense from the Texans perspective.

Even if you came away with a great pick package, you still traded away Deshaun Watson for draft picks. If you got another franchise quarterbacks in return though, that's different.

Mind you, Wentz is nowhere near as good as Watson right now, but he used to be. Your selling point then becomes that the change of scenery will allow him to be great again.

All that said, I'm not about to predict anything like that. It's plausible though.

[BurnNChinn]

Anybody read the news about R Wilson that’s weird. They said that’s the second time his camp has came out and said something about not being happy

[AU-panther]

All of these “reports” about a trade being close, almost sounds like the Eagles trying to drum up business.

I think that's spot on. There was another report this morning that they're disappointed in the offers they are getting. I think they're leaking, trying to get the interested teams to up their offers.

They want Stafford pricing for Goff product.

[Mr. Scot]

They don't really need to drum up interest if they've already got three teams bidding, and those teams are said to have pretty firm interest.

It does sound like the reason the trade isn't done yet though is because they're not happy with the offers those teams are making.
