Eagles News: NFL Insider Doesn’t Think Carson Wentz Will Pick First Round

Let’s go to the Philadelphia Eagles links …

Bowles’ Super Bowl game schedule, Watt’s Departure and Texans Mess, Trevor Lawrence as advertised – MMQB
1) I think the Eagles should trade with Carson Wentz soon. The market is not strong for Wentz for several reasons. The contract (a team that trades for him was locked up for two years, at $ 47.4 million). The band, which was horrible last year, is a different one. The third less discussed issue is the growing reputation that Wentz is not responding well to hard coaching. That’s why the Eagles’ initial price – the return the Lions got for Matthew Stafford – was enough to have a non-starter for some teams to run completely. Finally I think GM Howie Roseman, to ask so much, was to get away with a 1 and something else. At this point, I do not think at all that he is getting a first time for Wentz without a few strings (maybe a salary drop or refunds) back. Which, if you look at what we said when Wentz was housed in December, is not so surprising. This is now just who Wentz is as a quarterback. The proof is that the teams that know him best, the Bears (John DeFilippo) and Colts (Frank Reich, Press Taylor, Mike Groh) did not make a strong enough offer to make Philly jump. I think he lands in Chicago, and that would be good for him. DeFilippo played the bad cop in Philly for Wentz over the first two years in the league, and that would force Wentz to face the ongoing question of hard coaching. (Indy will also be good to him for many obvious reasons.)

Report: Eagles talk to Seahawks and Colts about trade over Zach Ertz – BGN
The Philadelphia Eagles have spoken to the Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks about a Zach Ertz deal, according to a report by Ed Kracz of Eagle Maven. This report is in line with what we heard from Ertz this off-season. In January, Tony Pauline said he ‘unequivocally said that […] Ertz will not play for the Philadelphia Eagles next year. Not long after that, Stampede Blue reported that Ertz had drawn interest from the Colts. Ertz, who turns 31 this season and wants a contract extension, does not fit the timeline for an Eagles team that wants to get younger. The Birds could trade or cut him to clear $ 4.7 million in much-needed relief from the offseason during the off-season. The most important thing to note here, however, is that Ertz cannot be traded to help the Eagles get under the cap (they are currently over $ 49 million) before the new league year begins on March 17th. If they want to trade him, they will have to find other ways to clear enough space to keep him past the official start of free agency. Otherwise, the Eagles might just have to release Ertz.

Report: Colts had trade talks with Eagles regarding TE Zach Ertz – Stampede Blue
The former 2018 NFL First-Team All-Pro, Ertz, is currently not Travis Kelce’s freak tight end of Kansas City Chiefs, but neither is his old star, but he can theoretically make the Colts a more dynamic player on the position. offers – if he can stay fully healthy. If he trades for Ertz, the Colts could decide to revise his contract, giving him an additional year on his current contract while lowering the potential cap push in 2021. The franchise can also ‘wait-and-see’ if the Eagles finally release him – without having to give up any draft compensation and simply sign him on Indy’s own terms. What’s clear is that the Colts are interested in Ertz this offseason, but that’s just a matter of how Indianapolis could choose to eventually acquire him.

Possack: if the Eagles get a first round for Carson Wentz, is it better in 2021 or 2022? – PhillyVoice
A look at the last five times the Eagles have picked somewhere in the 20s: 2020: Jalen Reagor, 21st overall … 2019: Andre Dillard, 22nd overall … 2015: Nelson Agholor, 20th overall … 2014: Marcus Smith, 26th overall … 2011: Danny Watkins, 23rd overall. Samevattend, gross. But beyond that, I personally think, there is not a drastic difference in the quality of the prospect you will find at number 20 versus one you will find, saaayyy, number 30. However, there is indeed a big difference in who you can get at pole no. 20 and who is up to pitch no. 10. The Eagles have a multi-year rebuild ahead of them, and as such it does not matter if they have an extra pick in the first round in 2021 or 2022. I would rather throw the dice and hope for a higher pick in 2022 as those the Bears and Colts currently have in the early 20s in 2021. And to see who you’re dealing with If I’ve been (statistically) the worst starting quarterback in the NFL a year ago, I want my chances of choosing 2022 to be better than the 20th or 21st .

No quick fix – Iggles Blitz
The 2021 Eagles are not a player away. Unless Reggie White, Brian Dawkins, Seth Joyner and Donovan McNabb somehow end up in the rankings and are all magically 25 years old, this team will watch the Super Bowl on TV. There is no quick fix for this team. This is good and bad news. The bad news, this team does not have talent. The good news, they have a lot of flexibility when it comes to draft and off-season. The Eagles are not locked in a certain position. It will take a number of years essay to bring in young talent to revive the roster. I studied draft prospects and tried to figure out what the Eagles should do. One of the most important keys is for the reconnaissance staff to talk to the new coaching staff and get everyone on the same page. Let’s talk for a moment about cornerbacks. The Eagles may have a very different group of choices in the second round.

How to think of the Carson Wentz trade saga (if you absolutely have to) – Pro Football Network
The Eagles have a chance to trade Wentz until the start of the league year. With no overwhelming offer on the table, they could wait a week or two until the official numbers of 2021 are finalized, limited free agent tenders should take place in the league, rumors of disgruntled Wilson-level quarterbacks simmering and other domestic take. it will make the situation of everyone’s shells clearer. At the same time, a $ 10 million bonus starts if Wentz is on the Eagles list a few days after the start of the league year. Roseman and the Eagles can not afford to hop in the bid that Washington will suddenly act, only to discover that the Colts have selected Marcus Mariota for a third round, the Bears have selected Darnold and the Wentz have market has suddenly dried up. .

2021 Eagles Offseason Preview – NBC Sports Edge
Carson Wentz (QB2 / 3) – It can be a painful process, but Wentz is likely to move ahead of the NFL draft. Whether it’s Indianapolis, Chicago or elsewhere, Wentz’s 2021 situation is likely to be similar to his less than ideal 2020 situation, where he was the QB21 per game while struggling to dusty veterans and youngsters. Assuming Wentz is traded, he will likely get a full season as an appetizer, based only on his contract and the capital it will allegedly take to trade for him (a first player or a few second rounds). ). Setting up a turnaround is a big risk, but stranger things have happened. He ranks 29th out of the 35 qualifying backs since 2018 (when he returned from his back injury) in both the EPA per relegation and percentage completion above expectations.

Doug Pederson should not have been fired by the Eagles, a fact lost in madness – Inquirer
None of the reasons surrounding Pederson’s departure warranted dismissal. NFL sources indicated that Lurie deviated from Pederson’s claims. After five seasons of Lurie’s involvement, Pederson finally insisted on appointing his own coaching staff. After five seasons of Roseman’s poor staff decisions, Pederson wanted a louder voice in compiling the list. After five seasons of polishing Wentz – an FCS (Division I-AA) project that turned Pederson into a capable and often brilliant NFL quarterback – Lurie believed that Pederson could not fix himself now, or that Pederson could not interested in correcting him now, or that Wentz, now and forever, would refuse to be restored by Pederson. None of that matters. All of these reasons together are not reason enough to fire Pederson. He was a good coach who won a lot of games when he had decent players. This is the bar.

Cowboys QB Ben DiNucci is ranked as the worst quarterback of all 59 who started a game in 2020 – Blogging The Boys
You’ll notice that Dak Prescott still has a big lead in the NFL at No. 16, and Andy Dalton ends up ahead of many guys who are expected to start the entire season for their teams (shout out for Carson Wentz). Since the seasons have passed for them, none of these rankings are shocking. It is also not at all surprising that Ben DiNucci was the worst fullback to start a game during the 2020 season. According to the assessment, it was never fair to expect so much from him so early in his career that clearly had to develop. Garrett Gilbert (top 51, baby!) Looks much better than he did a week after DiNucci’s scarce time in the Cowboys offense. Sometimes the difference between veterans and rookies (specifically from the seventh round) is so simple.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler recommends that Washington soccer team Allen Robinson – Hogs Haven, end up
Recently, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler left a mark on where potential free agents could land. Fowler landed Bears receiver Allen Robinson in DC. If that were to happen, he and Terry McLaurin could perfectly compliment each other on Scott Turner’s offense. Robinson has been known as an ‘air ballerina’ throughout his career. He consistently wins one-on-one with extraordinary jumping ability, body control and good hands. His presence will necessitate essential help to decide between him or McLaurin – whoever does not double can defend an opponent.
