What do you think you will get for green and Dalton?
If you just get a first round pick for each then you will have less than a 50% chance of even replacing them with the draft picks you get. You would have to get very lucky just to break even.
I'm with Fred on this. Imagine that.
Phili turned it around, but they didn't do it by trading the likes of Jason Peters, Fetcher Cox or Zach Ertz. They did make some nice FA acquisitions though, like Alshon Jefferies and Nick Foles and traded for Golden Tate. They also had decent drafts.
While Dalton would yield a draft pick and he's really just average Joe at QB, he'd still have to be replaced. We are picking 11th, not 1st in the draft and we've got some serious holes on this team.
Why the team hasn't addressed the OL for the last several years is rather puzzling. The annual free agent signing of LBers cut by other teams hasn't yielded a winner yet.
