The problem with that is that players talk to each other and word gets around fast. A front office with the rep for screwing players over isn't likely to be very successful in free agency. We also can't trade his rights because we're past the trade deadline. Although if we see the Rams benefit from a late-round swap with the Eagles in the offseason that doesn't make much sense.... just know we were the middleman in it. (Eagles get Slay, we got Cooks, and the Rams got a higher draft pick for backing off and letting Cooks go to us).

Why wouldn't we put in a claim? He's played the Bengals twice, he's played the Browns, he has insight into the Eagles. All of whom are next up on our schedule. He provides depth, can still play, and has a ring. That's how waivers work. If he doesn't like it, he doesn't have to play.

Something's fishy.

We may very well be able to sign Ingram to the PS later today if no one claims him on waivers. Which is perfect, because we can make Slay inactive until we need him, and elevate Ingram to play special teams. That gives us the best of both worlds. Also, I'm tickled by the arrogance of Eagles fans who thought Slay was going to force us to put him back on waivers so the Eagles could sign him.

Joel Youngblood played in two games for two different teams in two different cities on the same day -- and got hits in both games. Off of two Hall of Famers, to boot.

And in terms of development, how lucky is Maxwell Hairston? In his rookie year he gets to practice with and learn from Darius Slay, Tre White, and Christian Benford. If he keeps his eyes and ears open, he’s going to really have a chance to be something else for us.

You guys all remember when Benford got knocked silly in KC last year and we didn’t have anybody else, right? An experienced six-time Pro Bowl CB with a SB ring literally dropped into our laps and we’re complaining? He’s not going to see the field unless he has to, but I’d rather it be Darius Slay than Ja’Marcus Ingram or Dane Jackson in a spot like that.

I am not in favor of giving that team ANY hope at all. And if you've been paying the least bit of attention the last several years, none of the rest of you should be either.

Seriously. What the hell need would any of us have for a Terrible Towel?

I feel there is the strong potential to go 0-6 in rooting interests this week. As long as we win our game, I don't care.

This. Plus you miss plays when you go to get the food. "There's TVs at the concession stands." I can watch the game on TV at home.

[Game over, I get to talk Bills] Well, the Pats could only beat a 2-10 team by 18 in their own house. Whereas we went into a division leader’s house and beat them by 19.

He didn’t have much to say that day I guess. Or for the next three years. I mean, gotta hand it to him, playing the long game like that.
