Chip Kelly On Trading Up: It Was A Really Steep Price

Apr 30, 2015 11:25 PM

Chip Kelly has denied reports that the Philadelphia Eagles had been trying to trade up for Marcus Mariota in the days leading up to the draft.

The Eagles were reportedly offering picks, along with defensive end Fletcher Cox, quarterback Sam Bradford, linebacker Mychal Kendricks, guard Evan Mathis and cornerback Brandon Boykin.

“I didn’t think it was going to happen, and it didn’t happen,” Kelly said, via Reuben Frank of CSN Philly. “It was a really steep price.”

The Eagles instead stayed at No. 20 and picked Nelson Agholor.

Eagles Continuing Attempts To Trade For Marcus Mariota

Apr 30, 2015 5:43 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles remain interested in trading up for Marcus Mariota, reportedly "doing all they can" to acquire him.

The Eagles would presumably need to get an agreement with the Tennessee Titans done to draft Mariota at No. 2.

Philadelphia has Sam Bradford, the 20th overall pick this year, their pick in 2016 and presumably additional picks to parlay for Mariota.

The Cleveland Browns have interest in Bradford and could help facilitate a trade.

Chip Kelly views Mariota as a sure thing in his system, but it is unclear how much the Eagles will be prepared to give up for him.

ESPN Has Conflicting Reports On Browns-Titans Trade Talks

Apr 29, 2015 10:23 PM

There have been conflicting ESPN reports about whether the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans have held discussions on the second overall pick.

Pat McManamon has reported that the Browns and Titans have held discussions in which Cleveland sends the 12th and 19th picks for the second pick.

A source with the Titans told ESPN's Paul Kuharsky that the Browns had not made an offer for the No. 2 overall pick, and another source close to the Browns said there have been no substantive talks with the Titans and that these discussions commonly take place as the draft approaches.

The Browns would take Marcus Mariota if they acquire the pick from the Titans.

Cleveland selected Johnny Manziel in the first round last year, but they appear willing to concede he is not the solution at quarterback for the franchise.

Vikings Insist Adrian Peterson Won't Be Traded

Apr 29, 2015 12:12 PM

The Minnesota Vikings have seemingly ended all Adrian Peterson trade rumors before the NFL Draft has even begun.

"We can just end the Adrian Peterson stuff," said Rick Spielman. "Our position has not changed...we have no interest in trading Adrian Peterson."

Peterson has sought a trade this offseason following his reinstatement by the NFL.

The Vikings have reportedly had absurd trade demands for a 30-year-old running back, signalling they've wanted to keep him all along.
