If the Eagles piece had dropped Monday instead of Wednesday, it would have been all over the league meetings. That suggests something to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, who appeared on Thursday's edition of "Yahoo Sports Daily."

“I mean, just think if that report had landed at 6 a. m. Eastern on Monday,” Florio said on Thursday’s edition of “Yahoo Sports Daily.
