Quote:unless he is going to go all in how else would you explain the trade for in the opinion of some,( not mine), damaged goods for a top 3 running back, again if he is making a play for his QB, right or wrong, he may be the Maverick(Top Gun) of the NFL, in that it may be the gutsiest call in NFL history

 

The trade initially shocked me because I consider LeSean McCoy at the very least a top 5 RB.    In giving the trade additional thought,  I understand it better from an Eagles standpoint because of all of the salary cap space they gained from the trade.  

 

 

 From my point of view,   the major concern I would have if I was an Eagles fan is a possible trade for Marcus Mariota.   If the trade backfires in one or more ways,  the Eagles could end up in a worse situation than the Redskins got into in large part because of the ramifications of the RGIII trade.
