He's 27, but I could see him being traded for a 3rd round pick since the team will have to likely give him an extension that makes him the highest paid safety. As a Eagles fan, I would be all for it since don't like our current safety group. But think it's realistic. It would be a very expensive secondary and the Hurts contract coming up

Your secondary got rocked in the SB. It's an over correction. But that's what everyone does . I say do it.

The SB was more of a lack of adjustments than getting picked apart.

Don't think it'll happen. Both Slay and Bradberry are making over $12M and I believe Maddox is around $8M. I believe Baker is at $13M, to be the highest paid, you probably need to be around $17-18M. That would be a extremely expensive secondary.
But still need to upgrade at Safety. It's literally just Edmunds who's just okay and a UDFA safety as the starters. Eagles need a versatile coverage Safety

Not really. It was more on his previous agency fumbling the bag by misreading the safety Market. Jessie Bates got about $16M per and he probably thought he could get he get at least in the $11-14M. Apparently they offered him *more* initially, but once he passed on that deal, they moved on to signing Slay and Bradberry. The problem for him was that besides Bates, the Safety Market got capped at $6M fairly quickly.

Eagles have the cap space, but don't think it's feasible. That would be a very expensive secondary to go along with Hurts contract. That would be at least $40M tied into the secondary a lone.

5 year $255 million extension for Hurts, $179 million guaranteed but who knows how much of that is actually guaranteed

Not getting drafted in the 1st round (and the corresponding lack of 5th year option) just made Hurts like $30 million extra. Good on him
