| 0:00.0 | The legal tampering starts on Monday. |
| 0:02.1 | But when Jeff Mosher is on for football at four next week, everything will be official. |
| 0:07.9 | Moshe, obviously, everybody talking about AJ Brown and then Stefan Diggs gets released today. |
| 0:13.8 | That will only heighten the conversation, I would imagine. |
| 0:16.6 | But it sounds like, according to Mike Garifola, they're looking for a Quinn and Williams type of deal, which is more than they gave up to get A.J. Brown back in 2022. |
| 0:26.7 | So it doesn't sound like they're all that realistic about trying to move A.J. Brown. |
| 0:32.2 | But that's what you do. |
| 0:34.0 | You try to take advantage of a marketplace. |
| 0:36.2 | Plus, when they traded for A.J. Brown, I don't think he had had a 1,400-yard year, |
| 0:41.1 | certainly not consecutive ones, like he did have earlier in the career with his Eagles. |
| 0:44.8 | But you're right. He's older. He's not coming off his best seasons productively, and maybe |
| 0:49.3 | it's not about him, but you're always going to ask for as much as you think you can. So do you think they ask and dig their heels in, or that's the starting point they're willing to take something to lure? Because remember, this is a $20 million, over $20 million pit. So is the juice worth to squeeze to trade them for a second round pick and a third round pick if you got to take a $20 million cap hit. |
| 1:11.7 | Yeah, I'm not really worried about the cap hit. |
| 1:13.4 | And I think the people who follow the Eagles, I mean, when I say follow, I mean, NFL teams |
| 1:17.8 | aren't going to worry about that either because they know the way the Eagles do business. |
| 1:21.6 | They know the Eagles are always among the NFL leaders in dead cap money. |
| 1:26.4 | It's about a cash spend. And Eagles, you know, they will save on cash spent by trading |
| 1:33.2 | A.J. Brown and they want to be able to have cash to give some of their own in-house free agents. |
| 1:38.8 | So I don't think that's going to be a deterrent. I don't think that the cap hit is going to |
| 1:43.8 | force another team to have to pony uprent. I don't think that the cap hit is going to force another team to |
| 1:46.4 | have to pony up more. I just think that the Eagles will take the best deal that they can get |
| 1:51.4 | and if they can get that. Right. Well, I guess the one question would be is if you trade AJ Brown, |
