Quote:If they have such a glut of talent in Philly, and he's the guy they're looking to move, odds are they'll wind up releasing him.  Why give up your draft picks if you can simply grab him when he hits the street?  We still have plenty of cap room to assure that there wouldn't be a problem with a bidding war.  I don't see the logic in sacrificing a high to middle round pick for a guy you can get for nothing.

 

BTW, they were shopping him BEFORE the draft to try to add draft picks presumably so that they could sweeten the pot to trade up to get Mariota  It didn't happen.  I'm going to assume they're not actively shopping him now.  The rumor was they were looking for a 2nd round pick.  If that's the price tag, an even more emphatic "NO" from me.
