Don’t shoot the messenger, I just got a tip for 4:00 today.

I'm just basing it on the rumors from a week ago.  The rumor was the Bills offered a second and the Eagles wanted a first and fourth.   

 

Obviously, it doesn't make sense to give up more than is necessary, but the Eagles are in the driver's seat.   So long as they have some way to get under the cap, they can wait out the Bills.   The Bills MUST know whether they have Foles by draft day, and the Eagles can wait that long.   

Yeah, I think Beane is playing this right. Wait it out and see if they take the 2nd rounder. If you get Foles, you can still grab a rookie with your two first rounders or use them to get LB and DT

My brother knows a guy.  This guy's cousin owns an import/export business in the Western NY region.  In between some very high level business meetings, his barista informed him that we will trade our 2 round 1s to the Colts for #3, then trade that #3 for Foles. THEN trade Foles to Arizona for Bradford.

That would induce a lot of drug and alcohol abuse.

I just don't see why Eagles would move him for anything less than a King's ransom which would include a 1st rounder. He was just the MVP of the SB and there is no guarantee Wentz will be 100% ready to go at the start of the season. He's the best backup - in a way - in the league because he knows the system, etc. 

 

Wentz is the obvious starter and future, right?  Foles probably will not play much at all next year.  Wouldn't this be about the only (best) time to get some value out of Foles?  Also, aren't the Eagles high on backup QB Nate Sudfeld?

If they truly believe Wentz will be 100% by the beginning of the season, then it would be in their best interests to move Foles this off season, if they are interested in a reasonable (2nd round) draft pick. He is a free agent after next season and they will not get anything for him. I know they want a 1st rounder for him - but I don't think anyone will give that to them...but, I could be wrong about that.

Then why did the Bills trade up? Makes no sense.

 

I think your "friend" is wrong

 

They only gave up an expensive, injured, and largely already replaced player to move up - if they gave up picks you're point would hold.

 

They moved up b/c "why the heck not?"

The pressure on the Eagles apparently is the cap.  We've been told the Eagles are over the cap and they hae to get under.  So they have to move Foles or someone else.  

 

Old news.  They restructured Lane Johnson and now 'chump change' away.  Chances good they've working on Michael Bennett and Brandon Graham, but they could get there right now by cutting a guy making $1M or so

Weird they just spent so much on Bradham, but given he got a 5-year deal I assume it was very cap-friendly for this season.

Tick tick, tick tick. Hope they get this put together quickly or the tipster will have to find a new source other than a guy from the DMVs cousin who may own a bar or is just the guy at the end of the bar at some random Buffalo location

If, and it's a huge If, something like this is true, could be they moved up to 12 for the Eagles, will swap 1st (Eagles get 12, Bills get Foles and last pick of 1st) with may be a few other picks swapped both ways.

 

Bills keep 22nd pick and get Jackson or Rudolph or another 2nd tier guy and keep most of their other high picks

 Who knows with these guys in charge what they are thinking.....
