That same reddit poster who broke the Edelman PED story before it came out in the media said something big is coming, but I'm not holding my breath.

Although it'd be really funny if Gronk was traded and then said it was because he hates playing for Belichik and it isn't fun. Pats homers gonna be talking about how Gronk always sucked and doesn't have a winning attitude ;)

It's kind of funny, because the reason TO isn't going is the same reason they didn't want to put him in in the first place.

When they were debating on putting him in, writers talked to a bunch of his old teammates and couldn't find anyone who said anything positive about the guy.

TO isn't going to the HoF induction because none of his old teammates want to go induct him.

I don't buy this. There's no way Jerry Jones doesn't jump at the chance to go up on stage and be in front of a camera to induct someone he signed

On paper how do you stop an offense that has Rodgers, Gronk, Graham, Tae, Cobb?

It makes perfect sense if Edelman got popped, Gronk would have too, since they're both going to Brady's drug dealer.

not as screwed as they'll be if Wentz gets hurt or can't start for a few weeks and Foles isn't on the roster


Foles performed admirably in the playoffs after a rough start and I don't think there's a more enviable position to be in than "our biggest problem is that we'll be inconvenienced if our TE gets hurt."

The Eagles have faith in Sudfeld. The Foles trade is happening at some point or he is going to eventually be dropped for nothing to try and start somewhere. Need to get value while you can, and NE would be a great place to send him to have a good chance to succeed.

I disagree. They kept Foles because they know he's good enough to win a Super Bowl if Wentz isn't healthy or underperforms. Sudfeld is an unknown quality, even if 'they have faith in him.' They don't need to get value where they can, they need to go all in on winning another championship now while they have a team loaded with superior talent and a comparatively weak division. There's every reason to believe that they can win again this year and that they'll need Foles for at least a game or two.
