Episode notes
Cheap Backup Value Keeps Tanner McKee
- Tanner McKee staying as the backup preserves a cheap in-house QB option at about $1.1M for 2026.
- The Eagles likely need to draft a low-cost developmental backup next year once McKee's rookie deal expires.
AJ Brown Trade Feels Inevitable
- Both hosts expect A.J. Brown to be traded because his 2024 disengagement reduced his trade value and the relationship feels irreparable.
- Brandon Lee Gowton and Sheil point to persistent smoke, reported team interest, and last season's on-field decline as drivers.
Bring Back Goedert To Smooth A Potential Brown Trade
- Re-signing Goedert helps the Eagles' cap flexibility and reduces the dead-money barrier to trading A.J. Brown before June 1st.
- Keeping Goedert avoids a worst-case combined cap hit if the team moves Brown and preserves trade timing options.
