ESPN's Maxx Crosby to the Eagles trade idea misses the mark on culture
ESPN's Bill Barnwell suggested the Eagles trade for Maxx Crosby, but his reasoning about culture is questioned.
At this point, it almost feels automatic. Any time a disgruntled superstar becomes even remotely available or announces he is in search of a new home, the Philadelphia Eagles find their way into the conversation. This time, the subject of the discussion is Maxx Crosby.
It's an angle we have all heard before , and once again, the idea isn't hard to sell on the surface. Few Eagles fans would complain if Howie Roseman found a way to pull it off. He's built a reputation on doing exactly that, landing impact talent while somehow keeping the financial picture from falling apart.
It's why Philadelphia is constantly tied to big names, so when Bill Barnwell floated the Eagles as a potential landing spot for Crosby, it didn't feel out of place. It felt expected in some way until he shared his reasoning for believing this was necessary. ESPN revisits a familiar Eagles trade idea, but does so with some questionable logic.
Barnwell recently released a mock draft that featured trades at every selection . Crosby landed in Philadelphia. Days later, he doubled down on the idea during a recent appearance on ESPN's NFL Live .
