Wow. That could be a good add. He was not good his last year with the Giants, but I guess if he wasn’t healthy and that was the reason, he could be a nice addition.

I wonder if this was “wink wink” agreed to before the season even started. Doesn’t seem like Suh wants any part of being involved in the off-season And doesn’t seem like the Eagles have a problem with it.

As what, the fourth DT?

Most teams play 4 DTs at some point during the game and the two young Eagle DTs were gassed in the SF game after Cox was banged up He'll sign for almost a vet minimum wherever he signs. I don't think he is a very good player at this point, but he is better than a lot of backups and can contribute in a rotation

Eagles just seemed an odd choice, since they have excellent depth on the DL already.

Similar to last year and then they signed him and Joseph both and Suh played a lot. I think he started down the stretch, no?

I don't recall. With Cox, Carter and Jordan Davis (and more) already on the roster, seems like Suh is just looking to ring chase.

Serious questions about whether this is a “ring” team. The Eagles use a rotation approach on the DL. Ideally, Suh would be an edge. Nolan Smith hasn’t been able to get on the field for more than 8-12 snaps a game. I wanted Brian Branch with that pick instead of Smith. Smith needs more time before I can say bad pick but so far it’s been disappointing knowing the black hole the Eagles have had at S and at slot corner. Brian Branch could have helped in both spots.

Iirc, Suh had said about 2 months ago that he was only interested in signing with a contender and Philly was at the top of his wish list because he was familiar with them. This isn't much of a surprise really.

He might have changed his mind the last couple weeks

yeah.
I think he wants to be on the Niners now LOL
Given the choice presumably he'd stay on the West Coast. If it wasn't just a ring chase he'd probably sign for the Seahawks.

Can the Rams PLEASE find a CB somewhere to replace Kendrick? Please, someone waive a league average CB that will make it to the Rams' claim...they've been ninjaed on Kyu Blu Kelly twice already this year.

It will not last but he is a huuuuuuuuuge reason for them averaging 5 sacks per game since the trade.

His personal stats do not matter. It is not always about the player's individual stats.

It's the grand scheme of things. Just having a player his caliber over there that helps, drawing attention and diversion and sech.
I do believe personal stats matter, it's how we judge every player. In 6 games with the Niners Chase Young has 3 tackles 2 assists and 2 sacks. This brings his career totals to 16 sacks and 95 total tackles (solo and assist) in 40 games.

Now I do believe it was an excellent trade for the Niners as they gave up little. But I question your describing Chase as a "player of this caliber" when he just ain't that good.

Cobie Durant took over at cornerback for the benched Derion Kendrick and played well, allowing only one completion in coverage — when A.T. Perry might have committed uncalled offensive pass interference against Durant on his touchdown grab. Durant played extensively early in the season, and he provided a significant improvement on Kendrick's recent play in his return to heavy action.
