That failed and set them back, obviously, and put them in a corner forcing the Foles deal. The team is still recovering from the Bortles fiasco. I also think they have not paid enough attention to the OL but that's not news.

They have drafted well and have a top defense. I'm no Marrone fan and would like to see change there but the GM has done a good job IMO. As far as them not paying, blah blah blah, home grown talent, ie Ngakoue, and the grumbling in the locker room about it, big deal- the guy turned down a huge offer in the reported range of $19 million/year to stay with his $2 million. As another poster said, How will he make up that $17 million? Good question.

On topic: I would salivate over that proposed Detroit deal above. Getting rid of Ramsey would be just fine with me but not the Baltimore deal, Hayden Hurst is a stiff; Hockenson on the other hand...

It's a big deal because two of your cornerstone pieces on defense are grumbling. Two of your leaders on defense that were drafted three years ago are already willing to move on due to piss poor negotiating at the table.

That's not good for the long term outlook for this team. Especially for a team that's quite honestly failed miserably over the years through the draft.

Caldwell has done well? Yeah, he's done so well this team has won 31 games currently since he's been here since 2013. His stubborn nature regarding Bradley and Bortles and failing to move on sooner is unforgivable.

2016's draft class literally saved his [BLEEP]. 2017's defensive performance [during a weak year across the division and schedule due to key injuries at the QB position] also saved his [BLEEP]. Coughlin was brought here to light a fire under his [BLEEP].

Trading Ramsey away for a 1st, 2nd and a TE that was just taken 8th overall back in April after you just invested the 69th overall pick for essentially the same goal in mind with Oliver at TE is simply... dumb.

It's either a pair of 1's along with a 2 or 3 in next year's draft or 2021's draft or don't even bother talking about it.
