The Eagles are trying to trade CB Eric Rowe

Per ESPN, Should the Steelers look into it? I would give them Steven Johnson or Matakevich and a late round pick.

 

I would definitely look into it.

I'd keep Dirty Red

 

Just a late round pick should be enough.

 

Yes they should , I wonder why they are trading him ?

 

They may cut him from all indications, jump on him after todays cuts and save the pick:

Does that involve the waiver wire and some amount of risk?

 

If they cut him he will be a free agent, theres no big money involved because he is under the rookie salary cap, teams are probably wondering why they have him in their dog house that would have them trying to trade him during training camp, they want that two pick back but thats unlikely to happen, will they cut him is the big question of the day.......

 

Better to find one or two of our potential cuts that they would be interested in and work out a trade. That way both teams get what they want/need.

 

They have until 4PM ET today to pull that off and the clock is ticking so they have about 5 and a half hours to get it done, but who are we going to cut that is of equal value???

 

If they're trying to trade him that hard, and they're considering cutting him, then "equal value" is very subjective. Think Barkevious Mingo for a5th rounder.

 

Eagles just dumped Bradford to the Vikings and got a 1st rounder out of it so they may go for a garbage deal to just get rid of Rowe

 

So which way is better? Trade a 5th for him or wait until the deadline is over and hope they cut him? Now, if they cut him...there's still no guarantee that he will come to steeltown ...right?

 

Correct. But after last years cornerback for a 5th rounder deal for a player out of the league now, I'd rather part with a cast-off then toss them a draft pick.

 

What player is outta the league that you're referring to?

 

LOL

 

My apologies. I didn't realize (read into that: care) that the Bears had picked him up after the Panthers cut him.

 

And with the Justin Gilbert trade, this thread becomes moot.

 

Some things must be done!

 

Yeah and he's on IR.

 

Moot thread now, but I wouldn't have been interested in Rowe anyways. Never liked him as a CB. Now who knows what the deal is with Gilbert... He could very well bust out, but of the two I like the guy we chose

 

Not the the next Ross we need a better player than that...

 

With only 4 active players I expect they may yet claim a CB.
