Slay Traded To Eagles

[RobBase]

ESPN's Josina Anderson reports the Eagles are working on a trade for Lions CB Darius Slay.

Per Anderson, the sides are trying to work out a three-year extension that would be a precursor to the deal. Slay has publicly confirmed that he wants to be dealt, while the Eagles, as always, need cornerback help. This one makes too much sense not to happen.

Really hope we don’t just give him away.

Really hope we don’t just give him away.

Gotta at least get a 2nd.

 

[Old Lion]

Gotta at least get a 2nd.

Thats what I am hoping for. I cant see them giving their first unless it is 2021.

 

[RobBase]

Thats what I am hoping for. I cant see them giving their first unless it is 2021.

Or we get their 2020 1st and swap 3rds or something. It should be significant. Don’t trade him away for a 3rd and a 5th.

 

[RobBase]

Don’t trade him away for a 3rd and a 5th.

God I hate this fucking team.

 

[Mebert]

God I hate this fucking team.

I honest to god got all nostalgic for Matt Millen just now.

 

[Mebert]

Too be fair.

Quinn 2nd round picks: A'Shawn Robinson, Teex Tabor, Kerryon Jonson, Tavai

Quinn 3rd round picks: Glasgow, Goladat, Tracy Walker, Will Harris.

Maybe he saw that a third is more useful to him.

Maybe we add more picks trading back w Miami then use some of these picks to then move back up into the 1st or 2nd. Sounds like we will have ammo to move around the board and trade up for a guy if we need it.

I'm on board with this idea but I don't see this happening. (which means it probably will occur. always go opposite of what I think will happen is best case scenario)

 

[Zwalt]

3rd and a 5th....Quinn sucks.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Holy crap.

I honestly thought @RobBase was joking.

That trade sucks.

• NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Lions traded CB Darius Slay to the Eagles.
  ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Eagles are trading third- and fifth-round picks from the 2020 draft to Detroit for Slay. He's already reached agreement on a three-year, $50 million extension that includes $30 million guaranteed. Slay usually worked as one of the league's best corners during his seven seasons with the Lions, regularly traveling all over the field (including into the slot) in order to erase the opponent's No. 1 WR. It's a massive addition for the Eagles, who have struggled to contain any and all elite WRs in recent history. The move means the Lions will likely think long and hard about devoting an early-round pick to the CB position.

3rd and a 5th....Quinn sucks.

Slay is worth 50 million dollars to the Eagles and all Quinn could pull off is a top 100 pick and a meaningless 5th rounder?

Don't open your eyes then.

Hey now, that meaningless 5th rounder that we're getting from the Eagles is going towards drafting our 2020 starting Punter.

wait and see.

You're right.
We could use it to pick up a backup vet from the Pats as well.

You seriously thought I was joking about the drafting of a Punter.

O'HARA: Braden Mann's familiarity with Lions could make him a draft fit

Mann had a good feeling about the relationship he'd established with Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia, who was coaching the North team.

The rapport he'd built with Patricia in a short period of time was important for Mann, given that the Lions could be in the market for a punter – in the draft or free agency – with Sam Martin likely to enter free agency after seven solid seasons as the Lions' punter.

Mann was a record-setting punter his last two seasons at Texas A&M. He averaged 51.0 yards on 50 punts, with a long punt of 82 yards in 2018. In 2019 he averaged 47.1 yards on 57 punts, with a long punt of 68 yards.

Mann also handled kickoffs all four years.

If anyone wanted him for a second the Lions would have jumped. That's what they could get and obviously what his value is.

Slay missed more time than ever before last season and was clearly a me first guy that rubbed Quinn and Patricia the wrong way.

I would not have given Slay 50 million for 3 or 30 for two. He is a #2 at this point in his career and the Lions got better value at a cheaper cost in Trufant.

Slay was pretzeled by Keenan Allen and he is not getting any younger. I expect he will give the Eagles a good year but not sure it will be as a #1 corner.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Looks like the Eagles are giving pick #85 in their 3rd round. They also have a 3rd round comp pick at #103.

No word on which of their 5th round picks it is but doesn't matter all that much when they're #166 and #168.

A total value of 188 points for Slay.

Too bad Bobby couldn't swing a deal for their 2nd round, #53, and that latter 3rd round, #103, for Slay and our 3rd round #67. It would've been a 203 point value but Bobby could've had some leverage to move around.
