Eagles News: Deebo Samuel trade proposal

Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links …

Deebo Samuel trade simulation: Five different offers for the 49ers to consider – The Athletic
What can you offer in a trade? No. 18 and the first of two third-round picks (No. 84) in 2022, and a 2024 third-round pick to round things out. The Eagles checked in on Allen Robinson and Christian Kirk in free agency and were involved in trade discussions for Calvin Ridley this offseason, so we know they’d like to upgrade their wide receiver room. Nick Sirianni would also like to add more of a YAC dynamic to the offense, so it’s safe to say they’ll be interested in Samuel to some degree. Good thing they have stuff to offer. The Eagles have two picks in the first round this year (Nos. 15 and 18) and five picks in the top 101 to go along with two first-round picks in 2023 and two second-round picks in 2024, so they could present the 49ers with a choose-your-own-adventure combination of offers. I think their preference would be to frontload the picks to maintain next offseason’s flexibility, especially since landing Samuel might have a positive impact on their ability to lure a veteran quarterback to Philadelphia.

How much is too much for the Eagles to trade for Deebo Samuel? – BGN
One would think Howie Roseman would find a way to make a contract work for a big time player like Samuel, who is just 26 years old, no matter what the situation is. But given the potential need for a franchise QB at some point in the next couple years, can they afford to pour that much cap space into a wide receiver? None of this even takes into account the needs the team faces on defense and other positions. Miles Sanders is on the final year of his deal, the cornerbacks are aging, and the team still needs a viable safety, middle linebacker and help along the defensive front. If Roseman were to give up two or more first round draft picks for a player like Samuel, or even one for a wideout like D.K. Metcalf or any other wideout that may pop up on the trade market, does it shortchange their ability to improve defensively too greatly?

Jets Re-Sign Vinny Curry – Gang Green Nation
Regardless of how Curry’s comeback with the Jets plays out, it is good to know he has completely recovered from his blood disorder and is well enough to compete for a spot in the NFL. Anything beyond that will be a bonus for both Curry and the Jets.

Could the Jets Draft Yet Another Lineman in the First Round? – SI

Joe, my radar is certainly up for Arizona to take a receiver at 23, and maybe even trade up to get one. I do think if Alabama’s Jameson Williams were to drop there (and I don’t think he will), the Cardinals wouldn’t stay on the clock for very long. Maybe they’ll even move up to get him—I’ve heard what I’ve heard on their interest, but there’s easy logic here too, and that’s that DeAndre Hopkins generally needs a burner alongside him (that’s why Houston drafted Will Fuller in ’16, and why Andy Isabella has gotten so many chances in Arizona). So yeah, I think Arizona’s in the market, and my guess would be they’ll be looking for guys who can run. You’d think that’d make Ohio State’s Chris Olave, and maybe Western Michigan’s Skyy Moore and Memphis’s Calvin Austin people of interest to them. And sure, if that doesn’t work out, they could go out on the trade market, even if it’s for a reclamation project like Jalen Reagor should the Eagles take a receiver in the first round for the third straight year.

3) Derek Stingley Jr. Look, I get it. Stingley is a stud athlete in an ideal physical package. He ran a 4.37 forty with a 38.5” vertical and 10’2” broad jump at his pro day workout. He had highly-impressive tape as a true freshman in 2019 after signing as a ballyhooed recruit. He has NFL bloodlines, the grandson of Darryl Stingley. Everything above is descriptive of a top-10 or top-15 talent. It’s the rest of it that makes Stingley too risky to place a premium investment in. Stingley’s only good season in college was over two years ago as a true freshman. That season, he played on one of the greatest teams in college football history.

The top of the draft board at receiver is starting to resemble an ice cream shop, with so many blue-chip prospects sorted and stacked by different flavors.
