Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

The buzzards, (and Eagles) are circling.

I would say the Saints aren't dumb enough to trade away a once-in-a-lifetime QB, but I am a life-long Saints fan so I am familiar with their work!

Brees is most valuable to the Saints elsewhere.

Would there be some road blocks in brokering a deal? Sure. Brees’ monstrous contract would be a factor (sending Bradford to New Orleans would help) and multiple picks would likely be involved, but the cost would be well worth it.

With his quick release and ability to be consistently accurate on throws all over the field, Brees is the type of quarterback that would flourish in Kelly’s system. Brees would greatly improve the passing game and by extension, provide room for the running game. He’d provide leadership and not look like he’s about to have his lunch money taken (see: Bradford, Sam). The kicker—he’d reunite with Darren Sproles.

Chip Kelly doesn’t have enough time in the day to gush over Sproles and has admitted openly that they haven’t maximized his potential. Who better to do that than the quarterback who threw hundreds of passes to him in New Orleans?

The biggest issue in completing a blockbuster deal for the future Hall Of Fame QB, would be the difficulty in acquiring a starting quarterback mid-season. For most quarterbacks, it’s understandably hard to pickup the playbook and build chemistry in a brand new offense.

But we’re not talking about a normal quarterback. We’re talking about a nine-time Pro Bowler, a two-time NFC MVP, and a Super Bowl XLIV champion adjusting to a high-powered, user-friendly offense in an abysmal NFC East.

Worst case, the team flops this season and the Eagles work out a new deal with DREW FREAKIN’ BREES, who is a free agent after 2016. Best case, they’re an overnight Super Bowl contender.

They can keep dreaming. Never gonna happen.

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Two 1st rounders and I'll help him pack his bags.

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Sean Payton is desperate enough and Kelley is crazy enough.

For two 1s I'd say

Ship him!!!

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Two firsts definitely, that would help us address our future with much more help.

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Nope! Nothing less than 2 firsts, a great OL coach and a good LB coach. That's my final offer.

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

No draft picks.

Give me Connor Barwin and Fletcher Cox...

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

No thanks.... Why 2 first round picks so we can draft more "Project Players" Brees wont be traded even tho its fun to talk about...

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez were firsts...
are those the 2 firsts you guys are talking about?

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Everyone wanting 2 1st round picks for Brees obviously have forgotten the Saints draft history!

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Who's going to play QB? And don't say Bradford for **** sake.

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

I don't care what anyone says, that there's funny.

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Thank you.

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

2 -1st and start the rookie.

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

2 1st might do it, but Id have to think.
I mean serious guys, everyones pumping out Carson Palmer 35 as the second coming and he cant even hold a candle to what Brees has done or can do.
The problem is the coaching and the defense, not Brees.
Anyone that doesnt see our D has cost us rings, majority of wins, and playoff games, has their head up something.
SP has created and O for 9 years that few coaches could ever hope for. His problem might be that he gets to friendly with other useless coaches and doesnt fire them.
I dont know, have to think about it. Not crazy about selling a better Carcon Palmer just because the rest of the team sucked.

the Eagles FO can wish in one hand and bird **** in the other

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

I hope it's just wishful thinking. Who gives up a HOF QB at this stage. We don't have a Aaron Rodgers waiting in the wings. Please!

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Yeah that's what we need to do send Brees packing and bring Bradford here. There's not enough tall bridges in New Orleans to accommodate
all the Fans ready to take the plunge.

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Who gives up a HOF QB at this stage? Who's the guy in Denver making Papa John's commercials?

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

and this thought process leads to trade Brees?

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

"a two-time NFC MVP"

did I miss something the last 10 years?

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Well it is an Eagles reporter.

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Or maybe we can just get Sproles back?

Re: Quinn: The Eagles Should Trade For Drew Brees
 

Never going to happen
