    I don't like the swap of picks in this deal at all. We are talking about two big risks. Alonso may never be anything more than just a guy after his knee issues and Maxwell was awful for Philly last year. The two guys are gambles to even be solid players and we swap picks? Especially considering that Philly wanted to dump both guys, they should have been happy that we gave them a 4th. Heck the swap alone should have netted us both these guys and a pick from Philly. Tannenbaum sucks sometimes. I just don't like the way he builds a roster. And why are we not making moves for a guard or two if we want to swap picks or make trades?

    Miami gets:

    - Maxwell
    - Alonso
    - Pick 1:13


    Eagles get:
    - Cap: $11M freed up
    - Pick 1:8
    - Pick 4:???

    Cost us a 4th, but gained us 2 potential starters, 2 cuts (Grimes, Sheppard (potentially)), and the #13 pick.

    Would have rather a 5th than a 4th...

    Here's hoping that Gronk (the Fullback) is available in the 5th.

    • When Adam Schefter broke the trade on NFL Live yesterday, he mentioned that both the Eagles and Dolphins are exchanging draft compensation. No specifics were mentioned.

    • Very early on Tuesday morning, Twitter user @AllbrightNFL said that the trade involved Philadelphia and Miami swapping first round picks (Eagles get No. 8, Dolphins get No. 13). He also said the Birds would give up a fourth round pick to Miami. Allbright then deleted that tweet and sent out the following message: "I deleted a tweet containing info passed to me, that I apparently wasn't suppossed to give out. If this is an issue for you, i apologize."

    Important note as Dolphins-Eagles trade becomes a thing: Deal only included swap of 1st-rd picks, source says. 4th rounder was not involved.

    Deal is dead if they're injured, according to PFT. Miami won't make the deal because of Maxwell's shoulder.

    Myles Jack most likely won't be at 8, and Haregraves might not be either....if that's the case, not much difference between 8/13.....while also gaining 2 starters...Not as bad as a trade, especially with Maxwell restructuring

    No, you can't be sick. I am sick.

    but seriously, we aren't losing anything but position here. We get 2 players, and STILL get a top 15 player in the draft....pretty nice move. And speaking of "If" Jack is no guarantee either. Remember Aaron Curry? Mr. Safe pick? Jack didn't play last year, and is coming off a torn knee.

    Now the question is - is he really cleared or are the Dolphins too embarrassed to back-track and are gambling he'll be okay?

    Jack played 3 games last year :)



    If this deal is dead I agree with CK(twitter) to go after Prince now. I felt once we got VJ they would add Pacman.

    Trading down in the first round to get two injured and very unproductive players last season makes no sense at all to me.
    I woud rather the Dolphins stay at 8 and draft a better player than they will get at 13.

    With Tannebsum making these moves, it is likely both these players from the trade with the Eagles will be gone by this time next year and the Dolphins will end up with a worse player at 13 then they could have drafted at 8.

    The fact we got the best OL in the draft goes a long way in masking this FO error. But it was certainly a bad move.

    We really got lucky on that one.The eagles suspect move trading up with Browns might have been the best move in the draft.To bad we didn't have such vision.I would take a true franchise qb over any Ol no matter how good.

    If you're picking in the top 10 of the draft you never move down without acquiring picks. Eagles GM will win executive of the year based off this trade.
