Tyreek Hill reportedly on the block:

Oh my God! Should the Eagles trade for him? Every Philadelphia writer will be doing this story today. Including us.

Hill has a “problematic” record of off-field issues. There was a domestic assault case in college and the famous child abuse investigation from a few years back. A lot of Philly people rolled their eyes because they didn’t think Andy Reid gave a shit about any of that, and they’re probably right. The Eagles do have a good history of not bringing in guys with off-field issues, and run a relatively clean program (as far as we know), so stuff like this does hold weight out here.

On the field is another story. We’re talking six-straight Pro Bowls with 6,600 yards and 56 touchdowns before the age of 28. He’s got a huge cap hit and is a UFA after this year, so gotta figure out an extension, whoever trades for him. The Eagles need a possession receiver opposite DeVonta Smith and Quez Watkins, but who gives a shit if Hill is available because he can do it all. Can Jalen Hurts get him the ball? Imagine going from Pat Mahomes to Jalen Hurts. That’s a step backward, but Hill gives the Eagles a big step forward.

This is the easiest thing to parse, ever. If the Eagles weigh the off-field issues and determine that they are okay with what happened, then you push for a Hill trade. Dude is electric. A generational talent.
