I thought about mentioning Fletcher Cox. But it would be a bad move overall. You don't want to part ways with a guy that's pretty much been one of the top two - three interior pass rushers in the NFL now for awhile. He's right up there with guys like Aaron Donald and Geno Atkins. 

My biggest thing is that if they're going to part ways with Ramsey. They really need to add onto the offense then to help Minshew out as quickly as possible. Having a TE and RB like Ertz and Howard could be just enough to give this offense a 7.0+ PPG average swing. I still think the front four is more than capable of backing up the secondary. 

And I think Bouye could be a good enough CB1 with some of these younger guys working in behind him. That's where Todd Wash starts to truly cut his teeth and earn his paycheck then as far as I am concerned. If they ship Ramsey off mid season and Wash somehow keeps this defensive unit running at a top 5 - 10 level and they somehow sneak into the play-off's with a surprising rookie at QB?

Wash is a front runner going into 2020 if a head coaching job opens up.

But you werent already being greedy?  Everything you said for the Eagles to give us was comical

I don't think it's being greedy. I would expect a counter offer. Of course the odds of them shipping off Ertz and Howard plus picks for Ramsey is a high ball offer.

They have to set the table here though. Clearly teams see value in Ramsey. As they draw this out towards the deadline you'll see teams getting more hungry for that Superbowl.

The Eagles probably have more of a need to prove it with Wentz in the line up. They have already done it once. I dont think its too crazy at all that they shell out more in this deal.

If they go in with: 2020's 1 & 2, 2021's 1, 3 & 5 + Ertz & Howard at the table. They'll think it's comical... at first.

Then we're two or three more weeks in and they're narrowingly winning games like last night due to the secondary getting roasted.

They will counter offer with probably something like: 2020's 1 & 3, 2021's 2 & 4 and Ertz or Howard.

At that point they decide whether or not it's worth the trade. It's no different than trying to sell / buy a car or house. You go in overselling it, but you expect them to slightly undersell it. Which is where you wanted them to be all along.

But if you go in too low you'll never know exactly what they were willing to part ways with for that 2nd shot at a Superbowl trip.
