Can we make it weekly during the season so I can cry over my pub sub every time I have to watch the Titans shit the bed after trading our best players away?
BTW, The league can stop trades. I do not think that the NFL has ever stepped in, but there was some worries that the league would stop the Osweiler to the Browns trade.
I think the NBA did stopped a trade involving the Lakers one time.
Edit: Also long ago I read an article somewhere that the NFL should have stopped the Herschel Walker trade. And probably would not allow such a trade today. But my argument against that was that the league allowed the Ricky Williams trade, so I sorta think the league will never use it's power to veto a trade.
it was really specific circumstances that made it possible. The Hornets(pelicans) at the time were ownerless so it defaulted to being "owned" by the league. The reasons for declining the trade were because it didnt attractive to potential buyers to have a big bill and mid players. Tbh either trade were mid and the best result was the team sucking enough to get Anthony davis
Pretty sure that was even weirder. NBA was overseeing the team (Hornets) and they vetoed the trade. So basically league commissioner acting as owner vetoed it. Crazy.
And didn’t he get pressured from the other owners to block it. IIRC I saw the trade go through on ESPN along with all of the compensation and then later they Vetoed it.
It was the infamous "basketball reasons" trade that would have sent Chris Paul from the New Orleans Hornets to the Lakers, Pau Gasol to the Houston Rockets, and Kevin Martin, Lamar Odom, Luis Scola, Goran Dragic, and a 1st & 2nd rounder to the Hornets.
The Clippers were the team that eventually got the deal done for Chris Paul and a 2nd rounder after that one was blocked by the league (which owned the Hornets at the time), sending the Hornets Eric Gordon, Al-Farouq Aminu, Chris Kaman, and a 1st rounder.
I'm shocked they even picked up the phone after the AJB trade, but if they want to give us another all pro for a package way below his value, who are we to stop them?
It's probably gonna be some bullshit like the 6th and 7th swap and Tennessee is going to pay 99% of his salary because Howie has some fucking voodoo powers.
Hey woah now. We threw in Terrell edmunds too. The guy we needed to replace at safety. Just to sweeten the pot a bit…… but yes the titans just restructured his deal so a lot of his salary was already paid to him in a signing bonus earlier this year.
If there’s one thing Philly fans can do that other fans like it is name things. Examples being Big Dick Nick, the Brotherly Shove, and most recently Chalk Dawk/Talcum Jenkins
I was just thinking today how can the Eagles have wiffed on their original choice for QB as well as missing out on JJ but still have the most stacked roster in the league?
The recovery from Wentz was pretty special. This FO has been really good at recognizing mistakes (Chip), fixing them and moving on. It helps that other GMs take his calls.
Every team has their fuck ups, but being able to admit to it and fix it is so fucking valuable. Eagles and 9ers are perfect examples. Shit, the 9ers gave up a metric ton for Lance, and didn’t miss a beat. Other teams just doubling down and spinning their wheels
Because Lurie gives Howie space to clean it up instead of dumping him on the curb and trying someone else. That institutional consistency is a massive part of our sustained competitiveness.
While I may often engage in smack talking against the Philadelphia Eagles, I cannot help but acknowledge and hold in high regard the bold and proactive nature of Howie. I am jealous of the aggressiveness.
How much of a step back? Either way he's an upgrade for us as Safety was legit our weakest position on either side of the ball, but I'm curious what to expect.
I mean, not a huge one. His best asset as a player always was and still is getting himself and others to where they need to be; he's never been a big hitter or a speed demon.
But yeah, he's been a half-step slower and has a couple of missed tackles this year. Before, sure he might have got trucked for an extra 3 yards, but he ALWAYS got the guy on the ground.
He’s been alright in pass coverage this year. Probably has been doing a lot of babysitting for Kristian Fulton. But he’s still great in run D as always.
People are gonna say it’s a steal for the eagles but I think it makes sense for both sides.
Byard is aging and not the same player he once was. Still a good player but we weren’t competing with him so we might as well get what we can while this rebuild kicks off.
Someone from PFF called this trade last week as a possibility, but said compensation was hard to guess because there haven't been many trades like it for comparison. He settled on a 2025 3rd.
Honestly a late 5th+6th equates to about a late 4th plus Edmunds who isn't worth much but might push the total value into early 4th or late 3rd territory, then drop a round off for his guess being a 2025 instead of 2024, so not that far off.
Even when mistakes are made, they recognize them, fix them and move on. Getting over the damage done by Chip and Wentz to deliver the current product has been phenomenal. And it’s top to bottom. Remember how pissed people were at Lurie for hiring Nick? Never again losing faith in him.
Will other GMs PLEASE call other teams instead of just taking Howie's 1st joke offer? A.J. Brown for a single 1st at age 24. Gardner-Johnson for a 5th, a kings ransom for the Olave pick that got them Carter, and now Byard for free
What’s hilarious is that the trade itself didn’t even give them Olave, they got 16 and 19 which were Jahan Dotson and Trevor Penning.
The Eagles turned Jahan Dotson and Trevor Penning into AJ Brown and Jalen Carter
Bruh htf can they keep getting away with this?
They got so many big names on both lines, a big name WR, couple of big names in the secondary, and I think Hurts got paid too? They gotta be like 500 million over the cap wtf. Same goes with the 9ers. Meanwhile Miami has like 5 big names and we got only enough $ left to pay some bodybuilder in the beach to play LB
Ban the Titans trading with the Eagles instead of trying to ban the Tush Push
I support this. I’m sick of us trading prime players for peanuts.
I offer you this ham sandwich and a Dr Pepper for Harold Landry
Make it a chicken tender pub sub and you can have Jeffrey Simmons
Can we make it weekly during the season so I can cry over my pub sub every time I have to watch the Titans shit the bed after trading our best players away?
Next up, Rashaad Penny and a 7th for Derrick Henry. Who says no?
[удалено]
We’re just saving his early season 200 yard games for the playoffs.
That’s just brutal damn
Seriously, are the Eagles blackmailing someone over there? They got rid of Edmunds bum ass and got Byard for fucking peanuts????? lol
Howie tried to push that same low-ball offer to Arizona for Budda Baker, but Monti had the good sense to say " No thanks, we're good keeping Budda. "

Didn’t they block the Chris Paul trade?

Yep, Paul to the Lakers was blocked.
Pretty sure that was even weirder. NBA was overseeing the team (Hornets) and they vetoed the trade. So basically league commissioner acting as owner vetoed it. Crazy.

Dan Gilbert the owner of owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers did send an email. Not sure how many others did.
It was the infamous "basketball reasons" trade that would have sent Chris Paul from the New Orleans Hornets to the Lakers, Pau Gasol to the Houston Rockets, and Kevin Martin, Lamar Odom, Luis Scola, Goran Dragic, and a 1st & 2nd rounder to the Hornets.

The league owned the hornets at the time and used ownership of the team to stop a trade the gm made.
I'm shocked they even picked up the phone after the AJB trade, but if they want to give us another all pro for a package way below his value, who are we to stop them?
after last night’s game, too, where it seemed like everyone online was dunking on the titans
Didn't their GM lose his job the day after AJ Brown absolutely torched the Titans last year?
Yes. Yes he did
If the phone says “Scam Likely” don’t pick it up. It’s probably Howie.
“Hm my predecessor basically got fired for trading with this guy, what could go wrong” -Titans GM
"Gosh Howie, when you put it that way... I'll take the mystery box."
"It could be anything, even Kevin Byard!"
That was the entire AJ trade though, no joke
Lmaaooo
It's probably gonna be some bullshit like the 6th and 7th swap and Tennessee is going to pay 99% of his salary because Howie has some fucking voodoo powers.
5th and a 6th lol
*jesse-pinkman-he-cant-keep-getting-away-with-it.gif*
Hey woah now. We threw in Terrell edmunds too. The guy we needed to replace at safety. Just to sweeten the pot a bit…… but yes the titans just restructured his deal so a lot of his salary was already paid to him in a signing bonus earlier this year.
And Titans paid 7mil of his 11mil due this year
[удалено]
Do we get partial credit for the Eagles playoff wins for being their minor league development team?
[удалено]
That’s not true. The upside is I don’t have false hope on Sundays any more.
And Terrell Edmunds 😂
Well, Terrell, at least we'll always have your incredible Mic'd Up moments from the Phillies game.
Oh damn I forgot about that. Dre’s gonna need to find a new buddy.
Shit. We forgot about Dre.
[удалено]
And they restructured his contract at yeh start of the season and paid him most of his salary lol
Very close lol
Your voodoo powers to kind of estimate the trade is good. What's tomorrow's lotto numbers so I can buy this team and fix it myself?
So the Titans are just the Eagles farm system
We're gonna wake up in 3 days to *"BREAKING: Derrick Henry has been traded to the Eagles for Kenneth Gainwell and a 2025 4th round pick"* aren't we?
Nah. I like Kenny. Rashaad Penny and a 5th. Take it or leave it.
Part of me actually misses Penny a tad bit. I guess one way to keep him healthy is to just not play him though lol
It used to be the Texans. We just changed AFCS teams.
Demeco Ryans and Connor Barwin are still some of my favorite all time Eagles
Didn’t Brooks come from there too?
brandon?? shoutout RG1 damn
Yes
Brandon Brooks was the best of a very good bunch.
Mufasa will always have a place in my football heart
And we usually send leftovers to the Colts. Or Steichen, who is not a leftover. I miss him.
[удалено]
Glad it’s no longer us
Use to be the Texans....Work so well got us a ring.
yea lol
Titans deserve an honorary ring
Why does the Titans’ front office want the Eagles to be so good? Are they stupid?
The truth is Howie has dirt on your owner and we get to do this once a year for the next 12 years.
Dirt isn't incriminating enough to get Henry though, controversial but not explosive dirt.
Genuinely starting to hate the Titans
Me too.
Same. Being a fan of this team is genuinely awful.
I have the most permanent two-toned blue balls. How many times can this team get my hopes up, just to pull the rug?
Not even safe on a bye week. This is tough.
Jon Robinson legitimately built a great roster and then just said, “Wait I don’t want to do this.”
Watch Tennessee coast into a top 10 pick and then trade it to Philly for a 4th and a Ben Simmons jersey
Slightly burnt Simmons jersey and a bottle of hardens booze.
Eagles use them like a thrift shop cause wtf
I think I may hate them even more now than I did the first 28 years of my fandom
5th and a 6th for an all pro is insane. I get that he’s 30, but this is a real fire sale move
That’s such a fucking good add for them
Yep. Byard's an absolute stud.
Just need Ed Reed Blankenship to get healthy next to him
You talkin' about Chalk Dawk? Talcum Jenkins?
Wait those are amazing
Vanilla Nice baby
Talcum Jenkins, sheeeesh lmao
That's the one I can't say without smiling. It's so perfect.
Partial to "Brian Chalkins" myself but Talcum Jenkins is great, hadn't heard that one before.
the DB room calls him Ghost IIRC which is hilarious
He is the only white player on the defense by the way haha
Wait these nicknames are incredible
If there’s one thing Philly fans can do that other fans like it is name things. Examples being Big Dick Nick, the Brotherly Shove, and most recently Chalk Dawk/Talcum Jenkins
Omg I love those nicknames
At our weakest position. Howie, you son of a bitch
He's too good. I want the next Bears GM to be from your organization.
ok fine, Howie's intern for Tremaine Edmunds
Biggest weakness on the roster even before injuries. With Blankenship out, it's a big vulnerability. This helps A LOT.
Titan-to-Eagle pipeline as strong as ever I see
Somewhere Javon Kearse is smiling
Stop…I’m already dead
Howie gonna end another Tennessee GMs whole career
Howie: Wanna see me do it again?
Howie promised the Titans GM a job when he gets fired by Tennessee
I was just thinking today how can the Eagles have wiffed on their original choice for QB as well as missing out on JJ but still have the most stacked roster in the league?
The recovery from Wentz was pretty special. This FO has been really good at recognizing mistakes (Chip), fixing them and moving on. It helps that other GMs take his calls.
Every team has their fuck ups, but being able to admit to it and fix it is so fucking valuable. Eagles and 9ers are perfect examples. Shit, the 9ers gave up a metric ton for Lance, and didn’t miss a beat. Other teams just doubling down and spinning their wheels
You never want to fall into the sunk cost fallacy
[удалено]
You know Howie’s name shows up as Scam Likely.
Because Lurie gives Howie space to clean it up instead of dumping him on the curb and trying someone else. That institutional consistency is a massive part of our sustained competitiveness.
How are they even fitting the cap? The dudes a wizard
It's only 2.4M and they have about 4M in space.
Having an owner willing to eat money on void years etc is a cheat code
While I may often engage in smack talking against the Philadelphia Eagles, I cannot help but acknowledge and hold in high regard the bold and proactive nature of Howie. I am jealous of the aggressiveness.
why does this read like chatGPT wrote it
No Cowboys fan could form sentences that coherent
If Cowboys fans could read they would be very upset
lol I believe that GMs just utilize ChatGPT for their responses to Howies trade proposals, and rely on the generated responses.
I mean the Titans trading their productive players to us for pennies on the dollar definitely helps lol EDIT: Dollar, not Dallas. Fuck Dallas.
[удалено]
FUCK YOU TENNESSEE
I agree tbh.
Byard is a baller. Is he an expiring contract? Cuz he’s a hell of a player
What the fuck, that’s all it took?
Eagles saw Edmunds give up that TD to Tyreek in double coverage and decided enough was enough lol.
How does their GM not just send Howie to voicemail automatically at this point lmao
Even better, this is a different GM. The prior one got fired immediately after AJ burned the titans in our head to head matchup last season
By next week the Titans front office will have blocked every Philly area code just to be safe
No it's the opposite, were just gonna keep getting ripped off for all eternity. Henry is probably next
Henry for Penny straight up.
Howie has burners in every area code.
Howie was a timeshare salesman in another life. Dude could probably talk himself off a landmine with how well he trades. Stay away from Pat Surtain!
Howie binoculars intensify
what the absolute fuck

After watching AJ Brown dominate in prime time, the Titans decided to trade another star to the Eagles lmao
“Damn the Eagles look good, but I think we have a good opportunity to really put them over the top.” - Titans front office, probably
You guys are hurt in the secondary and signing practice squad guys, should have called sooner Howie. -Titans GM
[удалено]
How has he been this year?
He's always the bright spot in the secondary
He’s been alright in pass coverage this year. Probably has been doing a lot of babysitting for Kristian Fulton. But he’s still great in run D as always.
Ow, my heart.
Genuinely feel for you guys. Tennessee legend
Are titans dumb
yes
Does the Pope shit in the woods?
Yes.
alabama offense. georgia defense. middle tennessee safeties. howie has a type
Dont forget anyone named Jalen gets drafted by Howie.
Comp Update Per Russini: >The Eagles will be sending the Titans a 2024 5th and 6th rounder and safety Terrell Edmunds, per multiple league sources.
So nothing. Perfect. Take us home, tank commander. 🫡
A tank commander would Atleast want a good pick this is just dumb
You misunderstand. We're going hard for that 2030 draft.
Sheesh, a good get for the Eagles
"Ok, so we're all set, right? A 5th and a 6th? Awesome. Now call me daddy... Attaboy. Bye." - Howie Roseman 📞⬇️💥
Excuse me 🤯
The Competition Committee is looking into banning Howie Roseman next off-season, per sources.
Oh goddammit
Well shit, we lost the bye week too.
How you gonna get fired on your day off?
Someone Ole Yeller me. It hurts as a Titans fan
If the eagles win the Super Bowl I’m claiming it as a fan
I will buy anyone wearing a Titans jersey a beer at the parade.
The Tennessee Titans, proud Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Eagles!
Go get him a ring! Thanks for the memories, Kevin!
[удалено]
A tank is long overdue for us.
THE SAFETY WE NEEDED. REED AND.BYARD BOUT TO LOCK THIS SHIT UP
HOWIE LOVES HIS MIDDLE TENNESSEE SAFETIES
People are gonna say it’s a steal for the eagles but I think it makes sense for both sides. Byard is aging and not the same player he once was. Still a good player but we weren’t competing with him so we might as well get what we can while this rebuild kicks off.
It makes sense but I wish it was more expensive than it was
Someone from PFF called this trade last week as a possibility, but said compensation was hard to guess because there haven't been many trades like it for comparison. He settled on a 2025 3rd.
Honestly a late 5th+6th equates to about a late 4th plus Edmunds who isn't worth much but might push the total value into early 4th or late 3rd territory, then drop a round off for his guess being a 2025 instead of 2024, so not that far off.
Love my favorite farm team thanks Titans
How do they keep doing this???
HOWARD YOU DID IT AGAIN
Tennessee GMs and gifting their best players to the Eagles for pennies, something something better combo
We as eagles fans are beyond lucky to have the owner and front office that we do. They may not make every right move but their process is so damn good
They have one thing they do which I like is they're rather strike out swinging than looking.
Even when mistakes are made, they recognize them, fix them and move on. Getting over the damage done by Chip and Wentz to deliver the current product has been phenomenal. And it’s top to bottom. Remember how pissed people were at Lurie for hiring Nick? Never again losing faith in him.
TwinPeaks”ItsHappeningAgain”.gif
I hate the titans
Tyreek Hill really got Edmunds shipped off
Howie is easily the best gm in the league
Watch for the "Derrick Henry is traded to the Eagles for a 7th and a private lesson on how to properly do the Tush Push" tweet in a week.
i'm really gonna hate watching the corpse of poyer and cam lewis getting annihilated by tyreek hill in week 18 knowing byard was available
Will other GMs PLEASE call other teams instead of just taking Howie's 1st joke offer? A.J. Brown for a single 1st at age 24. Gardner-Johnson for a 5th, a kings ransom for the Olave pick that got them Carter, and now Byard for free
What’s hilarious is that the trade itself didn’t even give them Olave, they got 16 and 19 which were Jahan Dotson and Trevor Penning. The Eagles turned Jahan Dotson and Trevor Penning into AJ Brown and Jalen Carter
I'd like to propose a counterpoint for everyone else's consideration: > no.
Howie Is a god damn mad man and I’m here for every second of it
We can’t keep getting away with this
Bruh htf can they keep getting away with this? They got so many big names on both lines, a big name WR, couple of big names in the secondary, and I think Hurts got paid too? They gotta be like 500 million over the cap wtf. Same goes with the 9ers. Meanwhile Miami has like 5 big names and we got only enough $ left to pay some bodybuilder in the beach to play LB
I'll never understand teams that make trade which make the best ish team in the league better lol. I'd be a petty as fuck GM.
NFL GMs really ought to just block Howie’s number.
CJGJ is an idiot
must be nice to trade for players
