But the Cowboys still have 4 more Super Bowl Rings than the Eagles or Andrew Luck.

And Yale has more football championships than Alabama, soooo….. I guess Yale is superior to Alabama in terms of college football? Is that the logic we’re using here?

hmm.... Dillard???

I think this is the perfect storm in terms of need and asking price. What do you think they could get for him? With it being Dallas, would you even listen?

I wouldn't make the trade if I were the Birds. Plus, didn't the 'Boys select Tyler Smith in the 1st round to be Tyron Smith's eventual successor? They may just have to accelerate to try to accelerate his learning curve.

you woulnt trade him for a first rounder? (which one has to assume will be very high as its coming from the Cowgirls)

a) I don't think the 'Girls would give up a 1st for him, and
b) I don't like trading assets to the 'Girls

If they really offered a 1st, I'd have to consider it, as it's hard to dismiss a 1st round pick for a backup on your roster. I just don't see them offering that.

I agree with what you say, I dont see it either, nor did I see Donnie going to the Deadskins for a second. Its a crazy league. I think before its all said and done the Iggles might kick themselves for not picking up his 5th option.

No, feck Dallas! I think they would be stupid to trade within the conference.

that's a tough one for either side. The Birds asked Dillard to improve, and he has. He's made himself into the type of player that they thought they were drafting. Alas, it was too late for the Birds in terms of long-term planning, especially since Mailata has become such a good LT.

If they had picked up the option, he would have counted $12.6M against the cap. That's a crazy amount to pay for a backup. (By comparison, he's counting $3.9M against the cap this season.)

With Hurts looking for a big salary in the offseason (assuming he progresses this season), I don't think the Birds have room for a $12.6M cap hit for a backup.

Hmmm, now that I think about this. Maybe trade for Parsons and like 5 other players. :LOL:

yeah i agree. more thought provoking than anything else. That said, this is a sellers market in the grand scheme of things. I'd think it would depend on what they would give up for him.

And that $12.6M price tag ofgsets his trade value for an acquiring team. I know you get an extra season of control as a team acquiring him, but he’d better be damned good for that cost. There still isn’t a lot of great NFL regular season tape on Dillard.

two things I took from this batch:


#1: Jeff Stoutland has to be one of the only position coaches worth coordinator $$. Dude is amazing.

MORE IMPORTANTLY


#2: I wish I lived in PA and close to Philly, because I’d make it my mission to personally coordinate a Greg Ward appreciation parade. All he’s done for this team…. One of my top-10 favorite eagles. Definition of unsung hero.
