Does Howie Have Any Last-Minute Moves?

Today is the day, today is the deadline for trades in the NFL. There's been plenty of rumors and plenty of suggestions. Then again there's also been a lot of dismissing from NFL teams generated by rumors. Example, Titans aren't looking to trade Derick Henry, when all season there were rumors, he was going to be traded out. But he's not the only one of course. Practically the whole Broncos team was almost rumored to be traded as well. Yet not may things have happened just yet. So, this begs the question. Is today going to be a whirlpool of calls and trades? 

Should Howie Roseman be aggressive today? (last day) 

Personally, I feel he needs to be aggressive. Of course, we don't want to use up all of our draft picks to strengthen the cornerbacks and other positions possibly. But honestly, we have at least one player that can be traded or another one that I think most Eagles fan have forgotten about. Having Derek Barnett as a player that can be used in almost any trade is almost gold. Yes, Barnett isn't a star player in the slightest way. But he is a capable starter when healthy. As well as good rotational player. Another plus is if a team wants him, to resign him would be cheap. So, there's really a plus to trading him.

Now the least likely and forgotten player that could technically be traded away would be Rashaad Penny. When was the last time we've seen him take the field and actually play a handful of plays? Exactly my point! I think adding him to whatever trade would help whatever Howie is trying to get in return without giving away all the Eagles draft picks. I know he hasn't played, but teams remember what type of player he is. Now the reason for him not playing when he's a healthy scratch. Who knows? All I know that it already feels like it's time to move on from him. 

Make sure to stay tuned for any further updates. I will be posting up a new post if any trades come to fruition.
