but I think it’s interesting to hear about NFL trades and signings that almost happened. It can be fun (or sometimes terrifying) to think: “What if?”According to the New York Daily News Black Shareef Miller Jerse , the Philadelphia Eagles were involved in one of those “What if?” scenarios during the 2019 NFL Draft. From the report:So, in case that blurb wasn’t clear, the Eagles were impacted by the domino effect of the ongoing Tyreek Hill investigation. With Hill’s NFL future very much in doubt, the Chiefs were desperate to trade up to No. 56 to select his potential replacement in Hardman. And with the speedy Georgia wide receiver prospects off the board, the Jets were no longer interested in trading up to the Eagles’ pick at No. 57.Some thoughts on this report:It’s not hard to believe the Eagles and Jets were having trade discussions. Adam Schefter previously said Philly discussed moving up to No. 3 with New York, although the talks were likely just due diligence. Still Cheap Shareef Miller Jersey , it shows the two sides were having dialogue. We also know the Jets are rumored to be interested in hiring Joe Douglas since he has a great relationship with Adam Gase.Some wondered if the Eagles really wanted Hardman — whom they reportedly hosted on an official pre-draft visit — at No. 57. This report suggests they weren’t going to pick him if he made it there. It sounds like the Eagles preferred trading down to picking JJ Arcega-Whiteside. That’s not to suggest they aren’t happy with the JJAW pick ... but it doesn’t seem like it was their top preference in using the No. 57 pick. Maybe they thought they could get him 11 spots later?If Hardman was on the board and the Jets traded up to the Eagles’ pick, Philly potentially would’ve received picks No. 68 and No. 105. The two players selected at those spots? Florida pass rusher Jachai Polite and Florida safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. Of course, the Eagles may not have wanted those specific guys, but that gives you an idea of who would’ve been available.Ultimately, what’s done is done. Hardman is a Chief, JJAW is an Eagle http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-malcolm-jenkins-jersey , Polite is a Jet, and Gardner-Johnson is a Saint. Still, interesting to think about things could’ve easily been different. The Cowboys had the Eagles stopped deep in their own end.Carson Wentz threw an incompletion on third down, and the Cowboys would have forced Philadelphia to punt from its 13. But Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith, who forced a Dallas Goedert fumble on the Eagles’ first possession, hit Wentz in the head.The 15-yard penalty for roughing the passer gave the Eagles’ new life.The Cowboys weren’t done getting Philadelphia back in the game.Two plays after Smith’s penalty Womens Jalen Mills Jersey , Cowboys safety Xavier Woods hit Alshon Jeffery, drawing an unnecessary roughness penalty for a hit on a defenseless receiver. The play happened along the Eagles sideline, and Woods appeared to get into a disagreement with Eagles athletic trainer Joe O’Pella after that penalty. O’Pella, identified by Zach Berman of TheAthletic.com, came on the field to check on Jeffery.Four plays after that, Wentz found Goedert for a 28-yard touchdown.The Eagles Brandon Graham Jersey , who lost fumbles on their first two series, have drawn within 14-7 with 4:38 left in the first quarter.
