So, if you have a chance to get that type of player, you get that type of player. And, let’s face it, you still get to the point where, hey, listen, Rusell Wilson we believe is a future Hall of Famer and still in his prime. He has the rest of the year to persuade them, convince them that he’s the guy.
I know Jalen and I hope he is the guy but so far they’re not convinced. Jalen Hurts, to date, I don’t think has convinced them that he is the guy. Nobody would have more ammunition to go get a quarterback than the Philadelphia Eagles. I don’t think the Colts will be there at the end of the year but they could have three top 20 picks. Right now I think they’re scheduled to have three in the top 10. And as you alluded to, the Eagles could have three top 20 picks. So, Russell Wilson, we think, again, that that drama, that that storyline has been tabled to this offseason. 75, right after the Jacksonville Jaguars took Bryan Anger, the punter, at 74. Of course, even Seattle ultimately did at No. There were a lot of teams that were gonna take Russell Wilson. Washington wanted him, Indianapolis wanted him.
And as you know you and you might’ve reported this first, the Eagles, when Russell Wilson came out in that draft, Andy Reid was the coach, Howie Roseman was certainly in the front office, Russell Wilson was someone they thought about taking in the second round. And I think the Philadelphia Eagles, as you know, sitting there, if they get that pick from the Colts with Carson Wentz, that second-round pick becomes a one if he plays 75% of the plays the Eagles have a cachet of first-round draft picks and there’s no question in my mind that Russell Wilson would top their list. But I think it’s going to be revisited at the end of the year. And now we hear Pete Carroll putting a lot of love on Russell Wilson because he’s coming back from this injury and surgery on the finger. Because, obviously, last year you reported on the teams he would approve a trade to, which was interesting, if you know all the machinations of what’s going on there. MORTENSEN: Yeah, I’m going to speak to Russell Wilson first. What do we think of the fact that two, three of these quarterbacks could be available now that we’ve gotten past the Watson situation? How about the other two, Mort? With Deshaun Watson, who we just assessed right there, potentially Russell Wilson, potentially Aaron Rodgers.
I’m curious to hear your assessment of this potential quarterback class that’s going to be available. SCHEFTER: We expect to have an offseason of quarterback movement. The guys had some pretty interesting stuff to say when it came to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 2021 trade deadline has come and gone but that didn’t stop NFL insiders Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen from discussing what trades might materialize in the offseason on a recent episode of The Adam Schefter Podcast.
