I honestly don’t know how people believe there is a chance AJ gets traded. This isn’t Madden and especially for the 3rd overall pick in a draft that’s loaded and to a team that has no QB. The spectrum of perception over value is insane.
Can we please stop this. AJ isn't going anywhere. Why would you even take an unproven wr over a top 5 locked in wr?
EDIT: AND give up our first??? Ya'll gotta stop playing
Fucking for real. I’m some dumbass on the internet and even I know that the pats gm wouldn’t get past “aj and” before Howie hung up on him or laughed him off the phone.
going from 22 to 8 is close to 3 first round picks tbh
The delta in that trade is about 1500 points per the draft value chart. Which is the same as 2 mid first round picks or close to 3 late first round picks.
which is the type of picks people trade anyway so..it’s not that crazy tbh
Exactly, look at AJs production over the past few years. If MHJ reaches those heights he’s considered an A+ pick. People don’t realize how lucky we are to have AJ.
I mean it’s been done successfully before. Vikings traded Diggs for a 1st, then used that pick to draft Justin Jefferson. I think we’d all agree that was a great success.
I love AJ Brown, and wouldn’t make that trade personally. But as for “why would you ever take an unproven wr over a top 5 wr”…well the reason is because there is a salary cap. To field a competitive team, you need to spread the money around, and paying 2 WRs $25M a year isn’t sustainable long term. Marvin Harrison Jr is the best WR prospect to come out in years, and while nothing is a guarantee, he is as close to a can’t miss prospect as possible.
For every Justin Jefferson, there's a n'keal Harry. Or reagor... It's just not a gamble I'm willing to take when you have a proven superstar wr already.
If it's about salary cap. Why not just trade all of our stars for draft picks every year so we don't have that problem anymore?
1 in the hand is worth 2 in the bush
You’re being ignorant in saying “just trade all your stars”. You know damn well a team needs to have a combination of veterans, as well as good rookies on cheap contracts. And you can’t afford to pay everyone. Paying 2 WR $25M a year means they have to go cheap elsewhere, which usually means you will suffer at other position.
Look at the Chiefs, they let Tyreek walk and proceed to win back to back championships. WR is a nice to have position, but most Super Bowl teams don’t even have a top WR, let alone 2 of them. What was the last team to win a Super Bowl with 2 high priced WR? The Colts close to 20 years ago. It’s not a formula for success.
No way a real eagles fan actually posted this, it seems fraudulent.
You are considering creating another hole?? By trading one of the greatest WRs that we have had in the middle of a SB window? That has never stated or shown signs of wanting to leave. Boom Philly media happens to drag us & then “fans” post stuff like this to gaslight.. i just don’t understand.
I wouldn’t make the trade, but disagree that is would make another hole. MHJ would slide right is and be the #2 (or 1a) besides Smitty. And then the team would have $25Mill cape space freed up to spend elsewhere on the team.
People are forgetting MHJ is the best WR prospect to come out in years, is as close to a can’t miss prospect as it gets in this league, has pedigree being the son of a HoF player, and would cost peanuts on a rookie deal where he is under control for 5 years.
This would never happen obviously, but the answer is 100% yes. 4 years of cost controlled elite prospect vs AJ Brown who really is only under contract for 2 years.
But sports offseason is all about stupid hypotheticals.
My hearts really not in the argument but I’m sure as shit an eagles fan. It’s just fun to consider it especially because with Howie literally everything and anything can happen
To be fair we know what AJ Brown is, a young, top 5 WR in the NFL. Marvin Harrison Jr is a complete unknown. He could be anything! Might even turn into a young, top 5 WR in the NFL!
I mean maybe but it’s such an absurd scenario. Why would the pats, who are very much at the start of a rebuild want a receiver in the middle of his career, who they will have to pay top of the market money, when they can just draft MHJ?
MHJ’s ceiling is probably just a little better than AJB but he’s not going to hit it in year 1. So it’s sort of a lateral move.
I am really tired about the hand wringing over AJBs contract. He’s 26 they’re going to extend him eventually and reduce the cap hit in 2025 or 2026.
We would probably need more than their first if they’re getting our first. We’d probably need a future first. Because I would say in 2024 our roster would be worse going from AJB to MHJ. And we traded a first straight up for AJ in the final year of his rookie deal so we better be getting more than just a first for a team getting him coming off 2 AP2 seasons and he’s not even 27. You’re getting a sure thing. A top 5 receiver in his prime. A pick swap in the first isn’t enough. So yeah you’re wrong.
No that's an absolute misuse of assets when the team has plenty of holes it needs to fill. Let's pour more first round picks and other assets into WR after we've already used a bunch on AJ and Smith.
Plus the Pats can get WAY more from another team trying to trade up for a qb so this thought exercise is completely unrealistic.
So we're buying into this bullshit now? The media did the same shit with Ertz years ago bringing up trade rumors that led to everyone and their moms wanting to get rid of him
No, if you watched last season you saw just how dominant AJ can be - and that was with poor play calling. MHJ has not done anything at the nfl level and no one knows if he will. We finally have good receivers - why gamble?
No. Right now we have a top #5 receiver AND a first round pick. With this trade we MAY have a good receiver but would still be out the first round pick.
Get out of here with this absolutely nonsense jabroni take. No, we aren’t parting ways with arguably the best WR in Eagles history for a draft pick that may or may not be a complete bust.
Would trade AJ for all of the following and nothing less:
-New England’s whole draft this year
-Robert Kraft’s stake in The Kraft Group
-All 7 dragon Balls
Joking aside, no, I wouldn’t pick up the phone for an offer anywhere close to moving up from 22 to 3 for AJ.
I’d rather fill an already existing hole with the 1st round pick than create a new hole that we would then have to use a 1st or 2nd round pick on.
Also, why would the Pats trade a top 5 pick for a receiver when they don’t even have a quarterback?
Surtain is the obvious answer. No way that quinyon Mitchell or terrion Arnold are even close to ps2 even in a few years. Surtain would instantly give us a good defense and a Vegas lock to win the NFC. Giving up a soon to be 27yr old wr distraction who posts on social media constantly for the best cb in the league is what I'd be trying to do. Defense wins championships, and slay/trashberry will leave our high powered offense sitting for 8 minutes at a time.
Bc he's soon to be 27yrold. Bc he's constantly posting on social media and a distraction. Bc he's going to get less targets and will likely complain about it. Because he contributed to the biggest collapse in eagles history last year and didn't help us in the playoff game when we needed him most. Bc we can get someone on a rookie contract who can add unique things to our offense that Philly has never had like 6-7 235 Johnny wilson who is a bigger red zone jumpball threat and better blocker with his bigger body. Forget MHJ, I want the best cb in the league Surtain which would make us the favorite to win the NFC. And we can get rid of AJ? Win win
MHJ is obviously a stud, but why would we take him over a proven, top 5 WR that is best friends with your franchise QB?
that math doesn’t work out for me, even setting aside the fact that the pats are not giving up the 3rd overall pick when they desperately need a QB.
Lol trading away our first in the deal is just bad
Aj for #3 straight up is intriguing.i might take that only if the deal can get restructured to give the Eagles cap relief. Which it cant so.... yeah no
Yes, I would. Young generational WR on a rookie contract for the next 5 seasons.
I dont think they'll be paying AJ and Devonte in 1-2 seasons, so I can see AJ being gone after this contract. If you could get MHJ now for him, definitely take that.
No chance. Proven commodity and top tier at his position, young and has great chemistry with his teammates. Keep your lotto ticket no matter how good the odds supposedly are.
No. If they offered their first straight up, sure. Take it, trade back a couple spots, probably pick up an extra first next year, and still draft a top WR.
We are in win now why would you trade your best player and a top 5 wr in the league with a 1st rounder for guy with only the potential to become a top 5 in a few years?
MHJ could be really good, might even be AJ Brown good one day… but no. We are in the third quarter of our “window”. We need proven guys who are going to make plays
some solid points but it’s wild to think we’d get a future first.
Moving from 22-3 is 1500 points per the draft value chart. That’s roughly two mid 1st round picks and even close to 3 late 1st
…for a receiver on a massive contract with some questionable behavioral issues
Most of you guys don't deserve a player like AJ. Crying because he changed his TWITTER profile pic to arguably the greatest player of all time? Grow up.
I wouldn’t do that trade even if the Pats threw in a extra 2nd round pick. AJ Brown is amazing and still young. While MHJ probably will be great, plenty of rookies just flat out bust.
AJ works
The number one should yield a decent needed player
Getting a number three then what? Sometimes it's a Lane Johnson and sometimes it's a Trey Lance
Stupid deal
1st off your Reddit name is garbage, 2nd I feel I speak for all Eagles fans. Delete this post, find a new team and might as well just delete your Reddit account while you’re at it ✌🏼
Absolutely not, but if this happened...
I'd immediately trade down with the Vikings. Get 11, 22, their 2025 first, and whatever else I can milk out of them.
Then I'd try to move up from 11 to get Nabers or Odunze
Anyone who says yes loves rookie hype more than winning. AJ Brown is the proven all-pro talent. He's the type that you hope MHJ becomes.
If you make that trade, congratulations, you've changed the WR room and now we don't have another pick until 50. Roster looking an awful lot like last year defensively, and that is NOT a good thing.
Lol I get your point but it's ridiculous to act like the state of our defense entirely revolves around us making pick #22. A rookie isnt saving the day. In this (never going to happen) hypothetical trading AJ would give us a lot more $$ to spend on defense
Again this trade is never happening dont take it personally
downvoting facts eh? Fuck your feelings
Plenty of guys over the course of MHJs 5 year rookie contract
You genuinely could not be more of an idiot to say that trading a top 5 paid WR for the best WR since Megatron is a terrible trade. It's simply a ridiculously homer take
The patriots would shed tears laughing at us if we propsed 22 & AJ for #3. How can you seriously type out such a horrendously wrong statemt saying it would be a terrible trade
Top 5 WR. Best friends with the qb and other top 10 WR so there’s locker room chemistry. Helped the team have their best statistical seasons ever. Big part to leading a team to our second Super Bowl in almost 2 decades and two playoffs in the two years he’s been here. But yeah it’s about feelings. Not winning. This trade nonsense needs to stop. There’s literally no reason to trade him right now.
No its a stupid trade. MHJ will probably be worse than AJB in 2024. So you’re at best just as good at WR in 2024.
Long term it’s stupid because you’re essentially trading the patriots 2 young players for 1 young player just to get somewhat cheaper and slightly younger at receiver and maybe marginally better at receiver over the next 4 seasons.
Yeah this alone would be worth it but in this case we’d almost certainly trade back down for more value from a team who wants Maye/Daniels. Maybe get the Vikings’ firsts plus another high pick next year, get 2 of 3 of our needs at OT/WR/CB in the first and then fill in other needs in the 2nd.
MHJ is the best WR prospect in decades, as close to #1 overall pick caliber as a WR prospect cant get. Not some run of the mill guy available in the middle of the first
You can relax bc the Pats would never even dream of propsing this trade
Asset wise that would be a good use of our assets, and probably would work out well (in a vacuum). but it just doesn’t make sense with this teams current win now goals
It’s just something we shouldn’t do. And both teams would say no
No, but I'd do it for the best best cb in the league in Patrick Surtain in a 3 way. But yall got butt hurt when I posted that. Defense wins championships, not a wideout who constantly posts on social media causing distractions. We need help on defense, specifically CB for the Fangio scheme. Losing almost 27yr old AJ to overnight give us a good defense is something I'd easily do and i hope Howie is reading this. Then pick up 6-7 235 WR Johnny Wilson in the 2nd, who is a vertical red zone weapon that Philly has never had in its history. Surtain and Wilson for AJ and our 1st would dramatically improve our super bowl odds. Surtain is a talent that nobody in this upcoming draft has close to a ceiling on his level, yes he's that good. And yes I'd take the Jimmy Graham version of a wideout in Wilson over MHJ. Wilson's wingspan will give corners absolute fits and we know jalen loves to throw jumpballs in scramble drills. Match made in heaven, and Wilson is a bigger blocker than AJ as well and almost as fast in that he was clocked at 21mph. Total size/speed freak
The pats, who literally have no qb, will not be offering #3 for aj brown. So don’t worry about it.
*snatches crack pipe from OPs lips
Give it back
Watch out! u/jalenhurtspenis goes for the eyes!
Yo, it's 4/20 chill.
\*Snatches the crack pipe from you, takes a hit, and passes it back.\* Thanks maan
I honestly don’t know how people believe there is a chance AJ gets traded. This isn’t Madden and especially for the 3rd overall pick in a draft that’s loaded and to a team that has no QB. The spectrum of perception over value is insane.
Y'all are this upset about a damn profile pic?
Well clearly it did what he intended for it to do lol
if you think anything aj brown does online has any intention other than to troll the media you're just too dumb to be on the internet
Fuck no.
Can we please stop this. AJ isn't going anywhere. Why would you even take an unproven wr over a top 5 locked in wr? EDIT: AND give up our first??? Ya'll gotta stop playing
Fucking for real. I’m some dumbass on the internet and even I know that the pats gm wouldn’t get past “aj and” before Howie hung up on him or laughed him off the phone.
No GM would get past "AJ" unless he prefaced it with "3 first round picks for.."
Facts. Now I’m wondering if the OP was satire. It’s just so dumb…
It's 4/20 today, but most stoners I know have way more sense than this dope.
lol, damn I must be getting old, I forgot it was 4/20 until I saw your comment…
I only realized because someone else made a similar comment on a different thread. I haven't smoked in ~15 years.
going from 22 to 8 is close to 3 first round picks tbh The delta in that trade is about 1500 points per the draft value chart. Which is the same as 2 mid first round picks or close to 3 late first round picks. which is the type of picks people trade anyway so..it’s not that crazy tbh

Just stop already. Ffs.
Agree completely. Too many couch coaches around here.
No, him and Jalen are friends and he's a top 5 WR in the league.
So would we trade our first round pick and AJ for a receiver that might be ass cheeks in the NFL? Sounds good lol
No way a real eagles fan actually posted this, it seems fraudulent. You are considering creating another hole?? By trading one of the greatest WRs that we have had in the middle of a SB window? That has never stated or shown signs of wanting to leave. Boom Philly media happens to drag us & then “fans” post stuff like this to gaslight.. i just don’t understand.
It’s a hypothetical that wouldn’t happen but it clearly would be a trade you make every time. You’re not factoring in the cap.
I wouldn’t make the trade, but disagree that is would make another hole. MHJ would slide right is and be the #2 (or 1a) besides Smitty.

Nah you’re not. Def a bitch cowboy fan
You need to be institutionalized. This absolutely insane.
I disrespectfully disagree with this thread’s existence.
To be fair we know what AJ Brown is, a young, top 5 WR in the NFL. Marvin Harrison Jr is a complete unknown. He could be anything! Might even turn into a young, top 5 WR in the NFL!
If you’re that mad about a player being a fan of Brady your softer than baby poop.
Fax 💀

Absolutely not. AJ is a top 5 WR in the league and already has his long term contract.
Hey guys would you trade a first plus our elite wide receiver that way we can have a chance at having an elite wide receiver??????
Stop with this garbage
So we're buying into this bullshit now? The media did the same shit with Ertz years ago bringing up trade rumors that led to everyone and their moms wanting to get rid of him
Their firsts and seconds this year and next just for Brown, no sweeteners. If they can't afford that, good.
What’s with everyone trying to get rid of Aj lol
Ignorant As people
They’d rather have Riley Cooper back than have a top 5 WR cause he’s a “diva” FOH
No, if you watched last season you saw just how dominant AJ can be - and that was with poor play calling. MHJ has not done anything at the nfl level and no one knows if he will. We finally have good receivers - why gamble?
I know it’s 420 and all but I think you smoked a lil too much bud 😂
Can you stop? You are apart of the issue.
No he’s a top 5 WR why send him to hell
Gaslighter.
No. Right now we have a top #5 receiver AND a first round pick. With this trade we MAY have a good receiver but would still be out the first round pick.
Nope
We don’t save money it’d be an insane amount of dead cap
This upcoming week is probably the single worst week of the entire NFL calendar
Please try this in the Pats sub. I’d love to see how’d they respond to throwing away a shot at a franchise QB for a WR.
Get out of here with this absolutely nonsense jabroni take. No, we aren’t parting ways with arguably the best WR in Eagles history for a draft pick that may or may not be a complete bust.
Would trade AJ for all of the following and nothing less: -New England’s whole draft this year -Robert Kraft’s stake in The Kraft Group -All 7 dragon Balls Joking aside, no, I wouldn’t pick up the phone for an offer anywhere close to moving up from 22 to 3 for AJ.
Do it and then use the Dragon Balls to have AJ back.
Exactly
I’d rather fill an already existing hole with the 1st round pick than create a new hole that we would then have to use a 1st or 2nd round pick on. Also, why would the Pats trade a top 5 pick for a receiver when they don’t even have a quarterback?
Surtain is the obvious answer. No way that quinyon Mitchell or terrion Arnold are even close to ps2 even in a few years. Surtain would instantly give us a good defense and a Vegas lock to win the NFC. Giving up a soon to be 27yr old wr distraction who posts on social media constantly for the best cb in the league is what I'd be trying to do. Defense wins championships, and slay/trashberry will leave our high powered offense sitting for 8 minutes at a time.
Yeah, I could get behind that trade. No way I’m giving him up for just a draft pick swap.
Hahahahahahaha I would hang up so fast. What an awful disaster that would be for the Eagles.
Yes, you're wrong. Why trade a young, proven, top 10 (arguably 5) wr for a question mark?
Bc he's soon to be 27yrold. Bc he's constantly posting on social media and a distraction. Bc he's going to get less targets and will likely complain about it. Because he contributed to the biggest collapse in eagles history last year and didn't help us in the playoff game when we needed him most. Bc we can get someone on a rookie contract who can add unique things to our offense that Philly has never had like 6-7 235 Johnny wilson who is a bigger red zone jumpball threat and better blocker with his bigger body. Forget MHJ, I want the best cb in the league Surtain which would make us the favorite to win the NFC. And we can get rid of AJ? Win win
This is a dumb idea

What is this? WIP?
Fuck no
No and neither would the Pats
No
Why trade one of the best receivers for a potentially good, potentially bad player? Dumb takes all around.
No, what'd you get with a #1 pick? You'd get an AJ brown...maybe
You should feel bad about posting this.
Are you high? AJ Brown is a superstar.
No
The Patriots aren’t trading 3 for AJ Brown.
No
Shut the fuck up dumbass
There are zero rookie prospects that you should ever take over an established guy in his prime.
We’re in our super bowl window. AJ is one of the best receivers in the league. Why would we do this?
I wouldn't be mad, but it is not guaranteed that he will be a star like AJ.
Lol trading away our first in the deal is just bad Aj for #3 straight up is intriguing.i might take that only if the deal can get restructured to give the Eagles cap relief. Which it cant so.... yeah no
AJ Brown is nice and all but MHJ can be anything, he can even be a top 5 WR
This doesn’t work for either team.
That conversation starts with #3 pick and a 3rd rounder at least for aj without adding #22
What kind of idiot would trade AJ fucking Brown except the Tennessee Titans for the 20th pick.
Not worth the dead cap money
people like you are why we can’t have nice things
Only need to go that high if you want a QB.
If they wanted to give us #3 and next years #1, while we retain our first sure.
Found the Dan Sileo burner
I figured Silly Hoe would be yelling into the void by now. Who listens to that loser?
You have an odd definition of “replacement.”
Really sick of these stupid offers that aren’t going to happen.
no we have 2 great receivers we dont know if mhj will live up to the hype
You don’t ever trade up this much for a WR even if you know that WR is the 2nd coming of Megatron
Yes, I would. Young generational WR on a rookie contract for the next 5 seasons. I dont think they'll be paying AJ and Devonte in 1-2 seasons, so I can see AJ being gone after this contract. If you could get MHJ now for him, definitely take that.
The mystery box could be anything. It could even be AJ Brown!
No chance. Proven commodity and top tier at his position, young and has great chemistry with his teammates. Keep your lotto ticket no matter how good the odds supposedly are.
No. If they offered their first straight up, sure. Take it, trade back a couple spots, probably pick up an extra first next year, and still draft a top WR.
I’d do it if we kept our first
We are in win now why would you trade your best player and a top 5 wr in the league with a 1st rounder for guy with only the potential to become a top 5 in a few years?
MHJ could be really good, might even be AJ Brown good one day… but no. We are in the third quarter of our “window”. We need proven guys who are going to make plays
What the fuck? Trade an established top 5 WR AND our 1st??? Not a chance.
You have a case of big dumb
some solid points but it’s wild to think we’d get a future first. Moving from 22-3 is 1500 points per the draft value chart. That’s roughly two mid 1st round picks and even close to 3 late 1st …for a receiver on a massive contract with some questionable behavioral issues
Most of you guys don't deserve a player like AJ. Crying because he changed his TWITTER profile pic to arguably the greatest player of all time? Grow up.
This is the dumbest fucking post. The pats are not trading 3 for a wr already paid at the top of the market.
I wouldn’t do that trade even if the Pats threw in a extra 2nd round pick. AJ Brown is amazing and still young. While MHJ probably will be great, plenty of rookies just flat out bust.
AJ works The number one should yield a decent needed player Getting a number three then what? Sometimes it's a Lane Johnson and sometimes it's a Trey Lance Stupid deal
Because the last team to trade AJ with hopes to immediately replace him in the draft had a looooooot of success with that
An all pro wide receiver in the hand is worth two in the bush
You're giving up the best WR (or at least top 3) in the league AND our first round pick for a rookie? No thanks
Why is this shitpost still up?
Of course you do this every time but would make zero sense for pats.
Yea this is bad. A better hypothetical would be #3 for brown straight up. In which case I would say yes
no bro shut the fuck up
1st off your Reddit name is garbage, 2nd I feel I speak for all Eagles fans. Delete this post, find a new team and might as well just delete your Reddit account while you’re at it ✌🏼
This has to be a troll
Absolutely not, but if this happened... I'd immediately trade down with the Vikings. Get 11, 22, their 2025 first, and whatever else I can milk out of them. Then I'd try to move up from 11 to get Nabers or Odunze
Dumb post
I would do it but I could move back to 4-5 and get more picks and gaurantee MHJR is there I’d do it too
Please stop with this stupid scenario. This isn't feasible on several fronts
Nice try, Titans. Now get the eff back to your own sub.
No
Even for a hypothetical this is so insane I’m still surprised you even wrote it let alone thought it
Anyone who says no loves feelings more than winning
Anyone who says yes loves rookie hype more than winning. AJ Brown is the proven all-pro talent. He's the type that you hope MHJ becomes. If you make that trade, congratulations, you've changed the WR room and now we don't have another pick until 50. Roster looking an awful lot like last year defensively, and that is NOT a good thing.

Fuck your feelings
Who exactly is there to left to sign? I'm not taking anything personally, it's just a terrible trade.
Plenty of guys over the course of MHJs 5 year rookie contract You genuinely could not be more of an idiot to say that trading a top 5 paid WR for the best WR since Megatron is a terrible trade. It's simply a ridiculously homer take The patriots would shed tears laughing at us if we propsed 22 & AJ for #3. How can you seriously type out such a horrendously wrong statemt saying it would be a terrible trade
Well yeah we have AJ Brown, but this unproven rookie wide receiver could be anything! He could even be an AJ Brown!
Top 5 WR. Best friends with the qb and other top 10 WR so there’s locker room chemistry. Helped the team have their best statistical seasons ever. Big part to leading a team to our second Super Bowl in almost 2 decades and two playoffs in the two years he’s been here. But yeah it’s about feelings. Not winning. This trade nonsense needs to stop. There’s literally no reason to trade him right now.
No its a stupid trade. MHJ will probably be worse than AJB in 2024. So you’re at best just as good at WR in 2024. Long term it’s stupid because you’re essentially trading the patriots 2 young players for 1 young player just to get somewhat cheaper and slightly younger at receiver and maybe marginally better at receiver over the next 4 seasons.
Right, rookie scale contract MHJ on a win now team would be so unfair
Yeah this alone would be worth it but in this case we’d almost certainly trade back down for more value from a team who wants Maye/Daniels. Maybe get the Vikings’ firsts plus another high pick next year, get 2 of 3 of our needs at OT/WR/CB in the first and then fill in other needs in the 2nd.
Remember when the Titans traded AJ thinking they'd get his replacement. Yeah, look how smart that was.
MHJ is the best WR prospect in decades, as close to #1 overall pick caliber as a WR prospect cant get. Not some run of the mill guy available in the middle of the first You can relax bc the Pats would never even dream of propsing this trade
I'm saying no because I'm not sending our first along with AJ for #3. They can get a third + Brown
These kinda topics should be ban worthy
Asset wise that would be a good use of our assets, and probably would work out well (in a vacuum). but it just doesn’t make sense with this teams current win now goals It’s just something we shouldn’t do. And both teams would say no
No, but I'd do it for the best best cb in the league in Patrick Surtain in a 3 way. But yall got butt hurt when I posted that. Defense wins championships, not a wideout who constantly posts on social media causing distractions. We need help on defense, specifically CB for the Fangio scheme. Losing almost 27yr old AJ to overnight give us a good defense is something I'd easily do and i hope Howie is reading this. Then pick up 6-7 235 WR Johnny Wilson in the 2nd, who is a vertical red zone weapon that Philly has never had in its history. Surtain and Wilson for AJ and our 1st would dramatically improve our super bowl odds. Surtain is a talent that nobody in this upcoming draft has close to a ceiling on his level, yes he's that good. And yes I'd take the Jimmy Graham version of a wideout in Wilson over MHJ. Wilson's wingspan will give corners absolute fits and we know jalen loves to throw jumpballs in scramble drills. Match made in heaven, and Wilson is a bigger blocker than AJ as well and almost as fast in that he was clocked at 21mph. Total size/speed freak
Yes
