Something big could be brewing on the not-too-distant horizon for the Eagles. It sure feels at this point like general manager Howie Roseman has a diving board in his sight and he’s ready to make a splash, something he likes to do when he can.
If he can make this splash, it would be the equivalent of the triple Lindy, the most dangerous fictitious dive in the world pulled off by Rodney Dangerfield’s character, Thornton Melon, in the 1986 movie, “Back To School.”
Imagine the tsunami across the city and the NFL landscape if Jalen Carter is sent to Las Vegas for Maxx Crosby. There are unsubstantiated reports – more rumor, at this point – that it could happen. It is certainly tantalizing to think about.
Now, Roseman couldn’t walk away quick enough when Carter’s name was floated for Micah Parsons last year, before the Dallas Cowboys eventually sent their star pass rusher to the Green Bay Packers before the start of the season.
Why would he suddenly shift gears and send Carter to the Raiders for a player in Crosby who is older, turning 29 in August, than Parsons, who turns 27 in May?
Would Eagles Actually Trade Jalen Carter For Maxx Crosby?
