Eagles News: Joe Banner thinks the Carson Wentz trade should not return a choice in the first round

Let’s go to Philadelphia Eagles links …

A first-round pick for Carson Wentz? Fuhgeddaboudit, says Joe Banner. – Inquirer
JB: If you are the Eagles now, what you expect is that there will be more than one team interested in it, or at least that you can create the perception that it exists. If you can do that, you have a chance to get a decent choice. And by decent, I mean probably a second round choice and maybe something else included. A first-round choice, considering the contract they are making and the way he played recently, I am not going to remove it completely from the table. But it is unlikely. I made the basketball analogy that we see many NBA players being exchanged for very little in exchange for relief from the limit. I think the most likely scenario here is, if the Eagles move it, the main benefit that they will have is the relief of the cap. Remember something. In the next 4 years on paper now, he is at the limit of almost $ 130 million. So, in addition to the guarantees and the limit numbers over the next few years, including reducing their number in 2021 if they do this negotiation after June 1st, you could really help create some space at the 2021 limit that looks so challenger.

Eagles-Cowboys Final Injury Report: Fletcher Cox among three questionable, three discarded [UPDATE] – BGN
Ezekiel Elliott is expected to play, despite being considered questionable. The Eagles hope the Cowboys’ waste will touch Zeke instead of making the most efficient Tony Pollard their lead back. Blake Bell is expected to play the second tight end player, despite missing training all week due to illness. It is important to remember that the Cowboys injured reserve list includes key players such as Tyron Smith (left hand), Zack Martin (right guard) and La’el Collins (right hand). Eagles really need their defensive line to eat in this confrontation.

In episode 41 of Eye On The Enemy, John Stolnis talks to RJ Ochoa from the Cowboys SB Nation Blogging The Boys blog for a preview of this weekend’s game between Birds and Dallas. Why this week is a real head versus heart problem. Can Jalen Hurts do it again this week? The NFC East playoff image. What does Dallas do about Dak?

Food purchases: five college candidates who could interest the Eagles in the NFL’s 2021 Draft – PhillyVoice
Shi Smith, WR, South Carolina (5’10, 190): South Carolina vs. UAB, Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl, Saturday, December 26, 12:00 pm As we observed throughout the year, the NFL’s 2021 Draft will be loaded with slot-receiving talent. Smith is not as explosive as some of the others, but he has an impressive highlight roll of fantastic catches.

The commercial value of Jalen Hurts, the weight of Doug Pederson’s curriculum and more: Eagles’ mailbag – The Athletic
There is a touch of recency in the Hurts euphoria at the moment, and the teams have already been duped by quarterbacks in a limited sample. But if what’s happening now is just the beginning for Hurts, this is extraordinarily valuable – especially in a newbie contract. I understand the feeling of not wanting the Eagles to absorb the $ 33.8 million limit that would be required to trade Wentz – that will not be easy and it may be unrealistic. However, I tend to see this as a salary allocation for a position, not a player. In the case of a Wentz deal, the Eagles’ starting quarterback would count only $ 1.37 million against the limit. They would still need a number 2, but the limit reached for the position would not be too far from what it would be if Wentz remained in the squad. This should begin with the evaluation of the players. If you are defending a quarterback competition in the summer, then there is a risk that it could mess up and affect the locker room. My guess is that they either commit to Wentz or seek to move him.

What happened to Carson Wentz? Here are 10 theories – NBCSP
2. Confidence: No matter how big your arm is, no matter how well you know the attack, if you are playing as a defender and don’t have your confidence, it is impossible to be effective. And there were certainly times this year when Wentz didn’t seem confident. His body language was totally wrong. He would make some good shots and get the attack going, and then the inevitable disaster or interception. It wasn’t always his fault, but we all saw Wentz lowering his head on the way to the sideline and then another turn and then the whole thing went out of control like a snowball. Without trust, bad things will happen.

2 QBs to start and 2 QBs to disappear in Fantasy Football of the Week 16 – DraftKings Nation
Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles against Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles seem to have finally switched to their young mobile QB talent, Jalen Hurts. Although Philadelphia fell short of Arizona last week, Hurts surpassed all QBs in producing fantasy stitches with 40.82 DKFP. And although he can do this on the ground (63 yards and a touchdown), he saw success mainly in the air with 338 passing yards and three TDs. Hurts had a positive showdown against Dallas in week 16, an opponent that allowed the QBs to make the second highest number of touchdowns in the league.

NFL week 16 best bets: choices for all games – ESPN +
Bearman: The Eagles’ attack is significantly better with Hurts in the quarterback, and the Cowboys can’t stop anyone. After spending the entire year near the end of the offensive ranking, the Eagles scored 24 points against the Saints and passed 305 yards against the Cardinals. The Cowboys have given up more than 33 points eight times this year, including three from the last four games. Both teams can still beat NFC East and must be doing everything. I don’t feel comfortable doing 2.5 on the road with Philadelphia and I definitely don’t trust Dallas. I hope to see a lot of points in a 30-27 game. Choice: More than 49.5.

Eagles’ Brandon Graham reflects on his journey and delights in being nominated for his first Pro Bowl – PennLive
Coach Doug Pederson called Graham on Monday afternoon to inform him of the news. Finally, Graham was a Pro Bowler. Pederson joked that he didn’t exchange many words with the enthusiastic Graham. “You know, what I thought, I called the people who were on this journey with me,” said Graham on Wednesday. “I would have liked to see everyone at that moment, but I think about the journey. I called my wife, I was very excited about the car. I was close to NovaCare, I just found out as soon as I left. It was a joyful moment for us. This goes to all the people who have really helped me throughout this career. Because I’m telling you, every year, once I got close and became an alternative, people really wanted to see this happen for me. All I did was just persevere and continue to support each other during those moments, good and bad, and just for having this moment now, I am very grateful. “

Where are they now? CB Mark McMillian – PE.com
What Mark McMillian lacked in size, he made up for in speed, desire and attitude. In two seasons in Alabama, the 5-7, 145-pound cornerback started 21 games and totaled 72 tackles and three interceptions. Still, he was still available for the Eagles to choose him in the 10th round, 272nd overall, from the 1992 NFL Draft. “I was shocked to have been on the board for so long,” says McMillian. “There were a lot of defenses before me – between 25 and 30 – that I knew was better.” After the initial shock and disappointment passed, McMillian realized that the landing in Philadelphia may have been worth the wait.

Washington v Carolina Injury Report: Alex Smith 50/50 to play, Terry McLaurin in doubt – Hogs Haven
Terry McLaurin is listed as iffy and hasn’t practiced all week. He has been dealing with an ankle injury for over a month and this could be the week that will finally keep him out of line. Rookie WR Antonio Gandy-Golden has been training and Ron Rivera said they could activate him from IR this week. Antonio Gibson is still dealing with the toe injury that has kept him inactive since he was eliminated in the first quarter of the Steelers game three weeks ago. He was limited throughout the week and may need another week to be ready for the game. The team hired Lamar Miller from the Bears training squad last week and he can see some playing time this week. And finally, an update from Alex Smith. He’s officially listed as questionable this week, but Ian Rapoport says it’s 50/50 for him to play this week. Smith participated fully in today’s training, the first time he left the 49ers’ game in the 2nd quarter due to a calf strain. There has been optimism in the organization that he can play this week. Ron Rivera said it would be up to Smith to know how he is feeling and that they may not make a decision until Sunday morning.

Daniel Jones questionable. The Giants are listing quarterback Daniel Jones as questionable for Sunday. There was no access to the media on Christmas Day, but earlier in the week it looked like there was optimism that Jones, who had lost two of the last three games to a hamstring and then ankle injury, would play on Sunday. The judge said on Thursday that he was “really encouraged” by what he had seen of Jones in practice on Wednesday. “The intention is that if he can play, we intend to play with him,” said Judge.
