He was fantastic here, but he forced their hand. They could have held onto him I guess, but demanding more time and/or money made him a locker room liability and possible distraction. Looking back, maybe they should have told him to shut up and play, but the risk was genuinely bad and therefore it may have been extremely irresponsible to keep him here.

Player demands more money and/ more playing time, Eagles move on out of necessity, and now they’ve "outsmarted” themselves. I mean, your story is cool and all, just doesn’t make any logical sense. I would have loved him to stay or even come back, but it wouldn’t have worked

As I said, I don’t think it’s an option either. I just don’t think it’s a bad idea to explore

There have been multiple rumors linking them to interest in Aggy. Perhaps that’s real, perhaps not. But if they are, it wouldn’t be bad to explore Bennett returning as part of the package. He left for more playing time and has gotten far less. I suspect that’s what he and the unnamed coach got into it about.

While I don’t think there’s even a chance, I’d love to ship Agholor for Bennett and a 6th or something. Word is they are into Aggy.

The Rams are the least frustrating of the other 3, but I struggle with McVay (who stole Pederson’s Coach of the Year) and the hype machine surrounding the team. ‘Detestable’ may have been harsh

Yes. 1000% yes. the other 3 teams are filled with detestable players and coaches... and he’s still one of Philly’s best ever.

The Bears can’t think like that. That’s not how football works. The NFL is an any given Sunday league. Bears will come to play, if you don’t see that, you’re crazy!

Can you at least listen?

Smith is a better QB for what they want to do offensively, IMO.

A threat to what? A threat to win the division? Nah. A threat to general well being and public health since the team and fans are infested with cockroaches? Yes.

Butler came back late for curfew with weed in his pockets. Then supposedly got belligerent with coaches when they called him on it.

This thread is a cesspool of awfulness, but not sure why I expected otherwise.
