Inside the Birds is back.

0:14.0

What's going on, everybody.

0:15.1

It's Jeff Mosher, Adam Kaplan.

0:17.1

That's right.

0:17.6

The Eagles made a trade on Wednesday, and we're going to break it down.

0:21.6

And, man, I tell you what, Adam, before we even get to it, the Eagles have made a lot of trades this year.

0:27.4

Not one of the single one has been a blockbuster, but they have made a bunch of trades going back to the offseason.

0:33.4

Obviously, this one, they acquire cornerback from the Jets, Michael Carter. Not a corner. It's a nickel, according to Brick. Remember, what fix says. What's that? We're going to talk about that. Yeah, yeah. I think we know. He's a defensive back. I'll call him a defensive back from the Jeff. Michael Carter. And in turn, they give up Johnny Mechie. We hardly knew you,

Or you could think that there's a wheel in motion here for the Eagles to want to play Michael Carter at the slot

1:24.4

where he's played before and if he's going to excel there

1:27.9

and then potentially move Cooper to Gene outside for this season. I wouldn't go beyond.

1:35.0

I think we were in agreement on that, but just really the best temporary fix for their secondary

1:40.1

this season could be that. Yeah. So DeGine has always been their in-house fail-safe.

1:46.6

Like if all does not work out, if you really want to win a Super Bowl and you're not

1:51.7

making a trade for a corner, this is the move.

1:55.0

Because you're not winning a Super Bowl with Ringo or, or Joy Jackson as your starting

1:59.7

corners.

2:00.4

I'm not criticizing them.
