Ahhh ... To have Caldwell back for just this situation... One of his better traits was a happy knack of somehow fleecing opposing franchises by a round or two in trades!

I'd not be averse to finding out what Bakers situation is, id certainly pick up the phone! And you'd like to think if we were interested, Baalke would be savvy enough to structure the contract as such that we could have a reasonable out in a couple of years if needed. that skills and foresight shouldn't be beyond him! Personally im not sure id go past a fifth or packaging a fifth and a sixth/seventh, but you can but ask! Thing with trades is your playing the situation as much as paying for market value. One would assume the eagles who have fewer weaknesses across the board may be willing to push the price up a touch with less to gain in the draft... One of the benefits of being towards top of the tree i suppose!!

Caldwell would still have somehow pursuaded Ossenfort to a swap of seventh rounders though ...


And moved up about 15 places into the bargain!!! Ha!
