These Marcus Mariota trade rumors aren’t going away until draft day, and most of the time we don’t even acknowledge them. Why? Because most of them come off as pure nonsense or terribly weighted against the Eagles to the point which they’d never get done. This rumor though? This one isn’t bad. Kyle got so excited I think he might have passed out.

According to Bolts from the Blue (SB Nation’s Chargers blog), citing something they found on Rant Sports, this is the newest insanity that’s probably totally false but also really, really hot:

The Eagles get:

  • The Titans’ #2 overall pick, which they’d use to pick some guy named Mariota

The Titans get:

  • Philip Rivers
  • The Eagles third-round Pick

The Chargers get:

  • Sam Bradford
  • The Eagles’ first-round pick
  • The Titans’ second-round pick

That’s one hell of a pull for the Chargers, a pretty nice pull for the Titans, and I can’t see Chip Kelly being against what the Eagles get versus what they give up. It’s got all of the hallmarks of a crazy, draft-day, Twitter-breaking deal, and one that works out pretty well for everyone. Especially Sal Pal and sporting goods stores everywhere. And bloggers. It would work out for bloggers, too.
