Eagles get Jay Ajayi

[fordman84]

So, with Jimmy G in SF, any chance we see a 6th or 7th thrown out there, or is Martavis Bryant just going to vanish from existence the rest of the year.

I think they try to trade and then cut him when no one is wanting an underachieving WR with a bad attitude.

Blount. No need for him, as the Eagles basically got an upgraded version of him. Clements and Barner offer different attributes. Barner in the return game Clements in the passing game.

are the Patriots looking for a back. They love them some Blount.

Big plus for the Eagles run game. Nice move for them.

Makin a big play for HFA. I like it.

@mcnabb7542 , how you like it?

 

[huskers1217]

Whoa, really think so? Wasn't this week his best week? I guess he is their best trade asset and I agree Ajayi is a better version of Blount.

I wonder if the lions asked about Blount in the megatrom deal

They have an extra 2nd now.

 

[flyerhawk]

Meh. He had two big games last year. Not much other than that.

This sure seems like this will be what happens. I find it to be petty and unproductive for everyone at this point, but hey, not my team.

They put JuJu in his spot and the guy has been a beast. I'd want to distance from Martavis and his wife/gf/whatever as soon as possible.

oof

There is very little benefit to the Steelers trading him.........They arent getting a draft pick of any significance....And they have plans on a deep playoff run, so keeping him, at least they can hope to get him straightened out, cause he is the type of talent that can be a game changer for them offensively

I see no reason they would trade him, unless they think he could poison that roster, which I doubt very much

I think with a realistic shot at HFA and "bad weather" football ahead, it can't hurt to have another big back who can wear down the defenses. I think they should keep Blount. Defenses will be gassed by the 4th qtr and Wentz can go crazy. Just makes sense to me.

 

[Iggloo]

Shocking trade. This signals to me that Philly is going for it this season. I would not be shocked to see more trades today. Ajayi has a knee condition and may not last more than a few years, but he is on a rookie contract for the next two years and is a dirt cheap, above average RB.

Clement has looked decent, so I suspect Smallwood is the odd man out here.

I don't think he's staying in Philly, I think Howie is going to use him for another move!

Interesting...such as who/what position?

 

[Sparhawk]

Interesting...such as who/what position?

They need an OT to replace Peters this year and potentially for the future.
Could always use another LB and/or CB.

 

[mcnabb7542]

It's no secret they need a LT or middle LB, and I also know they don't have that many draft picks for next year so I'm thinking they are using Jay as a center piece, or Blount...

Blount is playing decent, I cant imagine he is going anywhere, Im not completely convinced Ajayi is better than Blount

Agreed!

Blount has finally settled into this offense, I don't see him leaving...

I agree. Blount has done great when given the ball. I am not sure they are flipping Ajayi, so I am not sure of the motivation behind this move.

Little surprised Miami didnt demand one of Clement or Smallwood

Miami seems to be thin at RB now, and Philly seems to have one too many
