Nnamdi Maxwell, Philadelphia Eagle

[Diomedes]

We disagree

bye

farg you

Not sure how true it is but Allbright accidentally leaked a rumor of a 4th also being given up with the teams swapping #8/#13

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yep - just saw that

Eagles get a 4th and the 8th overall
Miami gets Kiko, Maxwell and 13th overall

[ice grillin you]

I won't believe it till its official but 8 to 13 is pretty much the equivalent of an early 3rd

I would have guessed it's value would have been somewhere in the second round

still more than I ever thought they'd get if it comes to fruition

[MDS]

god damnit are jews good negotiators or what

Prisco is reporting this ^^^^ is the deal.

Holy...shtein. Howie deserves some big time credit.

[Tomahawk]

Miami is the same organization that gave the Eagles a second round pick for AJ Feeley. Howie gets no credit; Floridan teams are just stupid

[Diomedes]

If it weren't for Texas, Florida would be THE national embarrassment. 

[General_Failure]

Florida Man can only do so much.

[QB Eagles]

McLane sums up my feelings about all these moves: "Howie Roseman traded overpaid Byron Maxwell - Yeah! Roseman responsible for finding replacement - Uh-oh!"

[ice grillin you]

I'm not a howie fanboy by any means much less a fan of the horrendous set-up they currently have in the PP department but he has little to no history of running a draft or free agency

i just don't get why seemingly smart football guys like McLean and many others just invented X this notion that he is the worst acquirer of talent in the history of the league with literally nothing to back it up

this isn't billy davis who had years and years of terrible defenses

[Rome]

Maybe because his list of epic draft and free agency busts far outweigh his successes?

He's definitely a smart guy.  There's no denying that.  His ability to manage the cap and get deals done is well-documented.  But his ability to identify and select talent is hugely suspect.  All we can hope for is he's learned from past fargups and will now select talent where it's supposed to be selected.  Stop reaching.  Stop trying to be the smartest guy in the room and just take what comes. 

In short, no more geriatric firemen and guys named Marcus Smith in the first round would be super.

[ice grillin you]

for the millionth time he's run one draft in his life and his influence on even that one is precarious at best

I'm not saying he's Ron wolf or bill polian....he never will be but can he have some sort of PP resume before we annount him the worst or best anything?

the media and most fans act like he's been running awful drafts for ten years

[SD]

Howie gets an incomplete for now but I don't see how anyone can't give the guy some credit up to this point, he extended players, he got rid of two awful contracts from two bad players who had bad attitudes who we thought we were stuck with. Up to this point he gets an A from me. Now, once free agency and the draft is over lets see what he does...because finding players is the hard part. But for now the guy deserves credit for cleaning up Chips mess.
