WindyCity Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 John Clayton was on the Radio and apparently said that Jordan Howard was a darkhorse to keep an eye on for the Eagles.SPORTSRADIO 94WIPVerified account@SportsRadioWIP2h2 hours agoMoreClayton also mentions Chicago RB Jordan Howard as a sleeper to keep an eye on for the #Eagles.

WindyCity Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 I do not value RBs as you may have guessed over the years. I would only trade Howard for a 2nd round pick plus. He has more value to the team than a 3rd round pick or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I think Nagy craves speed and elusiveness from his players and I don't find it surprising at all that the game our offense explodes, Cohen got more touches than Howard. If they dangle a 3rd round pick for Howard.... I'd be hard-pressed to say no. I don't think our power blocking scheme is ideal for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I think we would regret trading Howard unless it was for a 2nd or more...it's all good when things are easy like they were against TB but Howard is a guy who when games are close can be plan B and pound away getting stronger as the game goes on...as the weather closes in as the season goes on he will become more and more vital...as he will when others start to tire... We have a championship winning D...why trade away quality and currently cheap players before taking a real run at it next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would any team trade a 2nd round pick "plus" for a slow RB who's going to want a new contract in 10 months? 18 minutes ago, G08 said: I think Nagy craves speed and elusiveness from his players and I don't find it surprising at all that the game our offense explodes, Cohen got more touches than Howard.

If he doesn't fit in this offense, I don't think he fits in that one. 11 minutes ago, Madmike90 said: I think we would regret trading Howard unless it was for a 2nd or more...it's all good when things are easy like they were against TB but Howard is a guy who when games are close can be plan B and pound away getting stronger as the game goes on...as the weather closes in as the season goes on he will become more and more vital...as he will when others start to tire...

Like you said, I'm not trading any players now because this season could be special potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don't see any reason to trade Jordan Howard. He adds another dimension to this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly...but that is his value to us this season...you don't trade away good players without good reason...well unless your Gruden ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nads786 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 How is he so much different from Kareem Hunt? We need Howard as the weather turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 You only trade him if a teams desperation causes them to offer more than he would normally be worth. I am not saying the Eagles would offer a 2nd round pick. But if I don’t hear that I am hanging up the phone, he has too much value to this season for us to move him for less. But if a team wants to offer a premium pick, he is not at the level where I don’t even listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt also runs WR routes and makes catches down field. Howard has improved his hands, but he still runs basic RB routes out of the backfield.

AZBearsFan Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Howard has 49 carries for 121 yards the past 3 weeks. IF we were to trade him doing so when he’s coming off the worst stretch of his career as a starter is not the time to do it. And that’s setting aside the absurdity of trading away your one true runner at RB, while in first place, from a team that plays outdoors in bad weather 2+ months a year. People really comfortable going with Cohen and Cunningham at RB? REALLY???! The same Cohen who has 4 games in his 20-game career with 10+ carries and who weighs in at 5’6” 181 lb? The same guy people were in a panic about getting overworked as a gadget player last year? This whole premise is utterly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now? No, you don't. That's kind of like saying if someone wanted to do a blockbuster trade for Trubisky, you line up and sign it off. No. And NO. The Bears have no replacement for Howard in-house. None. They'd be taking a huge risk with their playoff chances if they dealt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafreak Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I was surprised he wasnt traded in the offseason and you can read my posts saying as much. If we can get decent draft capital for him trade him, he is expendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
