Meh, this is business when it comes to older guys that play young positions. Howie definitely could have done a better job preparing to lose two starting CBs in one off-season. So I see your point if that’s it. But for all we know, it could be Slay asking for a bump if he didn’t want to renegotiate a restructure or something. I would say it’s not too serious but Drew probably leaked it so maybe it is. Edited March 10, 2023 by Jroc04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACO Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 The defense clearly will be heavily focused this offseason. I know SB fleecing is a thing but dang. They will get a decent pick for Slay if he does indeed go, and then they will draft a CB at 10. I felt they were anyways but this pretty much seals it.

I really don’t see a market for a 32 year old corner looking for money. Doubt anyone bites. Yeah. Helpful for the situation if they can get some numbers on what a deal would look like elsewhere.

Probably should, but won’t be surprised at all if after #10 they go offense with over half of the picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, be interesting to see what the defense we field next year looks like. Good not be missing, Hargrave, Cox, Suh, Joseph, Edwards, White, CJGJ, Bradberry and Slay.

I wouldn't be surprised. They might trade down from 10 as well. The young talent now has time to shine. They got that experience last season and a new set of rookies. A new DC with his own squad is not a bad thing. I mean honestly look what happened with Dallas. They allowed DQ to draft his guys and bring over who fit in is system and changed that defense in a year. So resetting the clock and building the future is not a bad thing. Just didn't expect it so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shalodeep Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Pretty sure this is what we were discussing on here just a few days ago....we can't afford to keep doing this. Time to free up cap again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 I'd be surprised if they traded him. The dead cap hit would be pretty nuts. In addition given his age, and contract I would expect finding a partner would be very difficult. They are likely trying to work out an extension and Slay got a little salty. I would imagine this is a negotiation ploy. That being said, anything can happen, and the fact that this is out there is..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACO Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Well apparently Slay didn't asked for a trade but Eagles telling him he talk to other teams of he wants? Seems like negotiation breakdowns and a game of chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) I don't think he gets traded. Seems like a negotiation tool and I guarantee the Eagles don't let him walk for cheap if they do trade him. I'd guess we would be looking for a 2nd in compensation. Will be interesting to see what happens for sure though. CB is definitely not a spot we can lose another starter at and be ok. We don't have the depth on the roster. If we move Slay we will be doing some heavy reinvestment at that position. Edited March 10, 2023 by AZ_Eaglesfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
