00:08all right so the eagles are definitely open for business they've already traded away jordan davis
00:14um for what a first and a second round pick uh did jacksonville overpay there yeah oh i i think
00:20100 they overpaid but they're going for it and that their fan base is thrilled and ecstatic
00:25about it we heard somebody call in the morning show who lives in jacksonville who's a lions
00:28family lives in jacksonville and he's like fans here are going nuts they love it they love to see
00:32their general manager go for it uh but the eagles have traded again they're they're trading um edge
00:39rusher arnold beckety uh to the bengals in exchange for a 2027 sixth round pick now beckety has been
00:48it doesn't have a sack this year i think he's a depth guy at best um but it's curious what
00:53they're
00:54doing in philadelphia are they having a full fire sale or not i don't think that's what's not known
01:00i can't think that they are i think they're having a fire sale in terms of trimming some salaries so
01:06that they can re-sign some of their own players like what we do here in detroit i think they
01:11want
01:11to re-sign guys like quinion mitchell and cooper de jean and quinion mitchell is a first round pick
01:17who's in his third year so next year is typically the year that those guys get their their big comp
01:23their big contract extension going into year four that's what the lions did after three years
01:28good their their first round picks they get the the extension cooper de jean was part of that same
01:33draft and he was a second round pick so he's entering his fourth year of the four years do
01:39they want to give him an extension i imagine they would those are two guys they're going to want to
01:43hang on to two really good young players in the secondary be my guess zach bond the linebacker
01:50do they want to bring him back well he's an awfully good linebacker um you know i think
01:54this is where you have to make your decisions of what you're going to do the sacrifice for them
02:01is trading away jordan davis who has been productive a lot last year was his best year in the nfl
02:06by far
02:08and this year was having a somewhat productive season nothing great one and a half sacks on the year
02:14uh 31 tackles in the nine games but that's a far cry from where it was last year we had
02:1972 tackles
02:19and four and a half sacks and he's halfway through the season this year so it's i'm guessing they're
02:25stockpiling some money uh or not stockpiling money but they're trying to clear some space that they can
02:30get those guys back this is also interesting from alliance perspective there's an opportunity cost for
02:35going all in right and it's the tab that philadelphia is paying right now this they're having to trade
02:41players now because they went all in yeah when you go all in you have an oblique moment a couple
02:48years later where you're like okay how are we going to pay the guys that we need to pay and
02:53so some of
02:53those guys i don't think they entered the year saying we're going to trade jordan davis no but
02:57they're looking at their future books and they're saying this this is the best way to get to the means
03:01they didn't enter the year thinking that saquon barkley was going to be compromised with with the bad
03:06back or whatever they didn't enter the year thinking that hey look who's got blood clots and gonna miss
03:11probably the rest of the season and jalen hurts they don't expect that those are their two most
03:17important offensive players so now they the reality sets in okay we're not going anywhere this year
03:24let's think about our future and now we have to do things but they also want a super bowl doing
03:29what
03:29they did and that's what lions fans okay the price to pay is down the road you're going to have
03:34to
03:34make some tough decisions like the eagles are now but the upside of that is that you got to hoist
03:39that trophy and that's all any of us want don't care i'll give you five first round picks for
03:44whatever player if it means that the lions win the super bowl right of course yeah justifies anything
03:50so we'll find out if that player is out there that player is available they've got less than four hours
03:55to make a big deal happen do you think they're going to make a big deal what's the player what's
04:00the dream scenario for you you gave your dream scenario i'm going to give you mine and it's for one
04:06player i thought about trying to make this a package deal and adding zach bond into the mix
04:10but for me it's quinion mitchell i don't think there's any way in hell that philadelphia wants
04:14to get rid of him okay but he's in year three of that like i said he's the first round
04:18pick that
04:18they had in 2024 so this is his third year in that and uh there's no doubt that you would
04:24extend this
04:25guy he's a really good corner in this league and i'd certainly give up a first round pick and you'd
04:31have to give up more because he was a first round pick a late first round pick he went
04:35right before the lions were picking and the lions ended up taking terry and arnold
04:38if quinion mitchell were available there's no doubt in my mind when we were sitting up at the top of
04:44uh uh a buffalo wild wings doing the draft show when when i first met you that night
04:49i was like quinion mitchell's the guy and then he goes i'm like crap right here at toledo okay so
04:56impromptu i'm howie roseman you're brad holmes you're offering me a first round pick i come back at
05:00you two first round picks i can't give you two first round picks what are you coming back with i'll
05:04come
05:05back with a first and a fourth first and a second i'll do it or no deal uh well no
05:11i'll give you a
05:12first this year and i'll give you a third in 2028 first this year second in 2029 done deal
05:20quinion mitchell is a lion kane do you think that gets it done first and a third no i mean
05:27they just
05:27got a first and a second for jordan davis yeah they love jordan davis was a top 12 pick or
05:32whatever he
05:32was they would value quinion mitchell as a top five player on that team yeah so why would they
05:37they're going to get less for quinion mitchell than they got for jordan davis
05:41didn't make any sense to me now i think the jags drastically overpaid for jordan davis so maybe the
05:47the eagles are like well you have to drastically pay overpay for any of our guys at this point
05:52jordan davis is a run-stopping dt that pays like half the snaps good player i want to give up
05:57first and
05:57second i do it so i mean to answer your question i think you helped me answer it for you
06:02is that
06:03jacksonville overpaid yes so i think and if you're the eagles though i that's the market well the
06:08question is do the eagles want to move him and i don't think they do you know i highly doubt
06:13they
06:13do in the second at him i don't think they're gonna but they would entertain it if you threw out
06:16two first now now we're talking like everyone has a price i agree with ted dibiase so if uh if
06:22you're
06:22throwing out two first round picks yeah mitchell's probably available but unless you get there i don't
06:26think they're gonna trade them yeah if i'm throwing out two first round picks then i'm gonna
06:30try to throw in some another player in the mix as well um two first round picks well yeah it
06:36would
06:36be i didn't have to add zach ball but they're gonna ask for more than that quinnon mitchell and
06:40reek woolen two first runners no no i don't need the two corners uh picks 25 or later from the
06:47lines
06:47but give me give me one of those corners and zach bond and and now we're cooking with all as
06:53people
06:53like to say uh let's go to ivory who's in redford ivory welcome 97 one hey good morning to you
07:01guys
07:01how are you i'm all right just a little cold so sorry if i sound weird that's all right man
07:07i was saying you know i've always been a brand host supporter and um you know as fans sometimes
07:13we don't know about the moves that they tried to make you know we don't know the deep down details
07:18of the deadline and what they tried to do and stuff like that and i know he's
07:23pretty been been pretty much a um for lack of a better term slow dm in regards to oh we're
07:29going
07:30to just do things around the margins things like that except for the draft whatever but i think
07:35sometimes you have to pivot man like you know sometimes you have to get out of your normal
07:41what you would do so to speak scheme because of other other things like this year it has to be
07:48different for them especially off of it you know last year not making the playoffs you add that into
07:53it and having a bad year last year you got to look at this year we're in the best division
07:58probably ever
07:59this year look at green bay uh even though you beat up you know you look at chicago what chicago's
08:06doing
08:06you know let minnesota get a legit quarterback by four o'clock you you have this you have to
08:13try some things you this this year some moves andre cisco was a depth piece you know i'm talking
08:20about trying i don't know what they're gonna what they have tried to do but you you don't and what
08:26i
08:26worry about is i they they're going to look at the last four weeks and what the um the lion's
08:31defense
08:32have done in fact oh okay well maybe we don't have to no man you really going to go out
08:37there
08:37with green bay doing what they're doing offensively and those right receivers and leave your your
08:41secondary to uh rock let me ask you this i think we all share that same thought that okay if
08:49they if
08:49nothing happens today then brad holmes is going to go in front of cameras and microphones and he's
08:53going to say we feel really good about our guys and that's a nightmare and that's not going to fly
08:57but it's not going to fly so it doesn't fly with me it's not going to fly with doug
09:01it's not going to fly with ivory okay um but i'm not going to jump the ship you know i'm
09:08not going
09:08to jump the ship but i'm saying but i was going to ask you do you think that brad holmes
09:13is actively
09:15trying to add a player of significance to this roster or do you think he's sitting back going oh
09:20we're good maybe maybe i'll we'll find another depth piece here but we're we're good we don't need
09:24to add someone who would be a starter in our defensive line i think he i think he's yeah i
09:29think he's
09:29probably trying to have a significant piece i'm just saying like as a fact you this year you have
09:35to you look back at the division look back at what happened last year with your team and say okay
09:41i
09:41need to try and maybe go out there and call these teams and like for instance like you said i
09:46would
09:47call philly they're probably not going to do it to say well what do you need for quayon mitchell yeah
09:52or
09:52i call some of these teams and say you know try and get something significant in your backfield
09:58or a linebacker you know okay what do you need for what do you want for bond and willing as
10:03a package
10:04something like that none of these you know so i think he's trying but i'm just saying it's something
10:08that you have to do this year don't just sit back and look at what you've done over i think
10:13we're all
10:13on the same page i appreciate the call thanks ivory i think we're all on the same page love to
10:17see it
10:17happen look queen on mitchell's a pipe dream cooper de jean is a pipe dream zach paughn and rick
10:22woolen together may not be a pipe dream like that that might actually be doable the question is to
10:28feel does philadelphia want to move on from zach paughn who's one of the top five linebackers in
10:33the game do they want to move on from him everybody's got a price everybody's got a price
10:39but philadelphia already has landed a mess load of draft picks for the next three years they've got two
10:44picks in the first round for each of the next two years i think they have 10 picks in the
10:49first two
10:50rounds over the next three years is brad holmes going to have it in him to pay the requisite price
10:56is he that i mean that to me is the million dollar question he doesn't want to pay the price
11:01that it
11:01takes do you have it in you brad to bite the bullet and pay that it's not that he doesn't
11:06it's that he
11:06hasn't and i think it's there's a two different there's a distinction there because we don't know
11:10if like like saying it's a philosophy of what he does i don't know if that's necessarily true either
11:16we don't know what he's willing to do if the right player comes along i certainly hope that he's
11:21willing to pull the trigger on the deal or pay the price as we're saying because we all want to
11:26see
11:26the move to add a player to this defense it's going to be a starter not somebody that helps out
11:31in
11:31depth not someone who's an insurance policy in case this goes wrong but someone who steps in and
11:37starts right away and makes this defense even better and this is a defense that's played awfully
11:41well for the last four weeks 248-539-9797 this is 97.1
