Phire Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Quote Safety Terrence Brooks is heading from Philadelphia to New York and Dexter McDougle is heading from New York to Philadelphia in a trade, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Just a depth guy. McDougle has never started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesPeteC Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Surprised Brooks got dealt. He's been pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Also weird that Howie has traded with 2 teams directly before playing them in the preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Joe Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I don't like this trade. Brooks was nice depth, could start if needed or be on the field for three safety sets. McDougle seems to have an injury history and has never started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there's something behind that. Like we start watching film and say "Hey we should trade our depth guy for that depth guy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is just an indictment on the corners. The team seems really nervous about them still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team seems really nervous about them still. It's probably more that they like Corey Graham for the third safety. And can play nickel CB so Jenkins doesn't have to leaving our safeties thin. Trade makes sense. Brooks was getting cut. This guy my not even make the team either. But if it pushes one of our terrible corners off the roster, win-win.

MemphisEagles Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 We have plenty of safety depth, so even though I liked Brooks I get trying to get something for one of our safeties instead of just releasing them. But another injury prone slot corner? If we are looking to do player for player deals, we should be looking at bottom of the roster HBs and QBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
