Yeah but there aren't a lot of 29+ year old CBs still playing at a high level. 

I did see that Daniel Jones scored 2 long TDs on him. But again I think he will bounce back.

This is golden tate level bad 

I wouldn't say that. It's not good, but it's not bad. The additional 5th is rather disappointing. 

Fun fact.... we paid a higher AAV for Slay than was paid for Byron Jones.... yay.

Danger yesterday: We should trade so we only have like 6th picks

Danger today: The additional 5th is rather disappointing

Yeah I'm kind of disappointed it's 85th overall and not 105th, but it's a difference of 20 picks. Are we really splitting hairs over this difference, and a 5th round pick? Some ppl gotta complain just to complain man. We weren't picking 10 ******* guys anyways the roster can't hold that.

6 total picks. And I meant packaging picks to move up and get better picks. Slay's level of play last year was really bad. I'm hoping for our sakes that he bounces back, but I won't hold my breath.

I'm not as upset as everyone else is, but such is life. If we were gonna offer him this much money, I don't see why we didn't just beat the Dolphins for Byron Jones.

Lmao exactly what I was thinking. Ppl are funny sometimes man. A 5th round pick is the kicker for it being a meh too bad trade? Give me a break. Open your eyes.

It's mostly because Slay was just awful last year, we paid more than the perceived value so there is inevitably going to be frustration. If Slay can rebound then it's good for us. Again though, I won't expect it.

Stephon Gilmore 29

Patrick Peterson 29

Casey Hayward 30

CHris Harris 31

Richard Sherman 31

 

Should I keep going?????

Gilmore the rest of that list is debatable lets see: 

Sherman had a decent year this year 2018 was bad 

Harris slot CB

Peterson fell off 2 years ago 

Hayward (above 90 QB pass rating when targeted the last two years)

All of those players have played LIGHT YEARS ahead of anything the Eagles have trotted out in a decade. They are all (maybe besides Pat Pete) in like that top 10 or 15 PFF CB's last year

It’s been said even with a better contract offer, Byron wanted out of the NFCE.
