Free agency rumors....

[Iron Eagle]

This is interesting.





ESPN's reporting the New York Giants are interested in Eagles DE/OLB Brandon Graham. Giants locked in on improving the defense.

4:48 PM - 8 Mar 2015

 

[WIZ]

Graham going to be a player the next 3 or 4.

 

[Taz]

Graham fits in New York. He really is a 4-3 defensive end.

Tramon Williams makes a ton of sense, they could then use the draft to add some depth and groom somebody to take over for Williams in a few years.

Love the Maxwell signing, he is going to bring some attitude to us. I have a good feeling on McCourty to. I think the hold up on that one is Revis, If New England can get him to restructure they will try and keep McCourty who wants to go back there, if not McCourty will most likely leave and I can see it for here.

 

[Wings]

YUP Graham will be a Stud in NY.

 

[Rey]

I think Graham would do really well in a 4-3. With Worilds now not likely to sign here ... what are your guys thoughts on Rush LB? Marcus Smith will likely be ready for some PT this year ... but just handing him the reigns without showing much as a rook would be a recipe for disaster. Should we be looking at one of these pass rushers in Rd 1 to pair with him? Bring Trent Cole back at less money? I hear they have no interest in Orakpo ...

Dion Jordan, I still think its a possibility Chip goes and gets him.

Rey I like Orakpo if we can't get Worilds.

 

[Wings]

I'll take Dion Jordan if we can get him without using a high draft pick.

 

[Iron Eagle]

....just because it's cool.

Probably take the 4th we got from Buffalo to get him. He has basically been a bust in Maimi.

One other possibility could be that they move either Alonso or Kendricks outside.

 

[Iron Eagle]

Not at all. #Eagles will pay what he wants. Just a matter of him picking here. RT @King_Sneed: is McCorty out of the picture?

Taz I'd do that!

 

[Birds4life81]

Yeah Graham will do very well as a 4-3 DE, I wouldn't be thrilled about facing him 2x a year. Hopefully we can land McCourty. If we land Tramon as well, I'll be doing backflips. Our secondary would go from one of the worst, to one of the best.

As far as OLB goes, since it seems Worilds has priced himself out. I'd look at Brooks Reed or Brian Orakpo. I'm all for a Dion Jordan trade if he comes cheap.

 

[Iggloo]

Clemson Tiger connection...

 

[Rey]

I've heard that the Eagles have zero interest in Orakpo

 

[Wings]

I've heard that the Eagles have zero interest in Orakpo

probably because of the injuries.

 

[Wings]

I also like Jerry Hughes, if Trent Cole could play in the 3-4 then Hughes could definitely!

 

[Rey]

Maybe Worilds comes down from his high horse and lowers his demands. I do like quite a few pass rushers in this years draft though.

 

[Birds4life81]

I was a big fan of Hughes out of TCU. He's proven to be very effective in both 4-3 DE and 3-4 OLB roles. He's a very explosive pass rusher….problem is, he's going to cost a pretty penny just like Worilds. Reports are the prices for Worilds is too rich for the Eagles, I'm sure Hughes will be as well.

Brooks Reeds makes a lot of sense if we're looking for something cheaper than Worilds.
