VigilantZombie Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 https://247sports.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/Article/LeVeon-Bell-Eagles-free-agent-122792158/Amp/ The first link is speculation of having to move a couple players. To be fair 247 sports is not exactly a reliable sort of info. https://nesn.com/2018/10/nfl-rumors-this-team-seriously-considering-leveon-bell-trade/ Latest rumor. Here is my prediction. If they have another game getting barely anything out of any of their RBs, things will rapudly begin to heat up and this trade between two PA teams will happen before the deadline.

OK, I remembered when all that was going on, and didn't know he was doing well with that 3-4. Was he as good with that as the 4-3 they run now? I can't believe they would trade him but if he wants top $ then he too will be a lease for us like Bell could be to them. How much would Graham cost on a new deal ?

Chieferific Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Graham is 30 and will prolly be looking for about $9 million per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I do think something will happen with the Eagles. Rose man is someone who will pay to get what he wants. The Eagles are tight on cap, so I could see something like Ajayi, Graham, 3rd for Bell and a 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chieferific Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 It may not be realistic but I want at least a 2nd rdr. If some team wants to add a "good " player that's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’re getting much more than a 3rd. Plus cap wise that works from the Eagles side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree the deal "works" but Graham will be a 1 year rental and my Grandma has better knees then Ajayi. With that said, it may be the best deal out there.

But, it gives us the ability to extend Graham if we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you suggested, it may be the best deal available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get a pass rusher of Graham’s level at $9mil, even at 31YO, I would take it right now. Our pass rush sucks something fierce. I’m not one to spit a gift horse in the Face if that’s the offer and the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did a deal like that with the intent of retaining that pass rusher, we can take the downgrade in pick round because then that’s one less thing we have to use a pick on. So then instead of needing a 2nd because of all the holes, a hole would be plugged, and the pick isn’t as necessary. The 3rd could be the starting Ilb or starting RB.
