The Eagles seem to be intent on applying the franchise tag

to quarterback Nick Foles Wes Martin Washington Redskins Jersey , not to keep him but to trade him. Specifically, to trade him to a team other than the Giants or Washington.Given the decision of the Denver Broncos to trade for Joe Flacco in lieu of pursuing Foles, an important question needs to be considered: Will there be a significant market for the Super Bowl LII MVP?The teams looking for a potential starting quarterback include the Dolphins, the Jaguars, the Giants (maybe), and Washington. Would these teams invest $25 million or more per year in Foles, or would they wait for the draft, where a quarterback would be available at a total value of less than $25 million over four full years?If the Eagles intend to tag and trade Foles, and with the Broncos officially out of the mix, the non-NFC East options may be the Dolphins and Jaguars — and only the Dolphins and Jaguars. And if the Dolphins decide to pursue a rookie quarterback of their own (the Jets and Bills got their first-rounders in 2018), it leaves the Jaguars as the only viable player for Foles.So what would the Jaguars give the Eagles to get Foles? More importantly, what would they pay Foles?If Foles is tagged Wes Martin Washington Redskins Jersey , he’ll be looking at roughly $25 million fully guaranteed for 2019. It wouldn’t make sense for him to accept a long-term deal worth less than that per year. So would the Jaguars send a mid-round pick to Philly and pay Foles $25 million per year or more?Maybe. Maybe not. The point is that the Eagles and Foles may not have many options, which gives the Jaguars real leverage. So much leverage that the Jaguars could say to the Eagles, “We’re not paying him $25 million per year.” Which means that, unless someone else will, the Eagles could tag Foles and be stuck with a backup making more than 25 times what the starter will earn in 2019.Foles’ camp has been conspicuously quiet in recent weeks, at a time when they could be balking about the team’s plan to tag him simply to trade him — a plan that would violate the CBA. Perhaps Foles and his agents are doing nothing to push back against the prospect of being tagged because they’ve made enough calls around the league (sure, it’s tampering; sure, it happens) to know that, for 2019, his best outcome is to get tagged, and to pounce on it. Hogs Haven takes a look at 2019 NFL Draft prospects that could contribute to the Redskins"Davante Davis, CBSchool: Texas | Conference: BIG 12College Experience: Senior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 6-2 / 202 lbsProjected Draft Status: 5th or 6th RoundNFL Comparison: James BradberryCollege StatisticsPlayer OverviewDavante Davis was a 4-star recruit from Miami Wes Martin Jersey 2019 , Florida who chose Texas over his hometown Hurricanes, Florida State, Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson, and a lot of other top programs because of the relationship he built up with former head coach Charlie Strong. Davis got playing time early in his career and meshed with defensive backs coach Chris Vaughn. Vaughn left Texas after he was accused of violating several NCAA rules include those relating creating fraudulent SAT and ACT scores to satisfy academic standards for recruits while he was a coach at Ole Miss. After Vaughn left a new defensive backs coach took over and didn’t give Davis much playing time in his sophomore season. Texas cleaned house with their coaching staff the following season and the same thing happened. Davis a top recruit wasn’t being used as he anticipated and his confidence suffered. Unfortunately he did not get back on track until this past season. This past season was his first as a starter and he finally flashed the skills that made him a top recruit in the first place. Texas defensive coordinator Todd Orlando praised Davis for his growth and polish in his game. Davis may have been a late bloomer in college due to unfortunate circumstances but he has plenty of upside left to keep improving in the right system and situation. StrengthsExcellent size, good athleticism and explosion for position.Tough, physical player who has no problem coming in and tackling in run support. Fights through blocks and wraps up well. Has decent fluidity and smoothness with his backpedal and bail technique. Looks a lot better as a zone defender than a man coverage guy. Keeping plays in front of him he can use his recognition of routes to close in coverage quickly. Uses his length and physicality to knock receivers off their routes and disrupt passes. Shows decent ball skills. Finished his college career on a high note and has the potential to play either corner or safety.WeaknessesDoesn’t have the acceleration to stick with speedy receivers downfield. He’s a long strider but not very quick and when guys go past him he can panic and interfere. Takes the cheese way too much in man coverage and needs to play the receiver more and remained disciplines and not give away too much. Agility is limited for the position and a position switch may be in order. Lost confidence and play declined in college. What is his mental toughness now?Let’s see his work:More Davante Davis videosHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsWhile every position in football requires confidence cornerback arguably is at the top of the list of positions where this is most important. Corners have to have the ability to take things one play at a time and be able to quickly put bad plays behind them and move forward on the field. Due to lots of instability with his coaching staff at Texas and a few bad experiences on the field he went through a rut in college. What is great about Davis, and what should inspire a team to take a chance on him is that he overcame this portion of his career and closed out strong. He needs a lot of work technique wise but I think he has some promise as a late round boundary corner playing zone. Assuming the Redskins will still be a zone heavy team I think there is definitely a place for Davis to compete with Adonis Alexander at the back of the roster. Furthermore Davis may bring greater value because of his tackling ability and physical style of play which could be used on special teams. I think the team’s safety depth is decent but if they ever felt the need to convert him they could try that out too. Davis needs to get on the field in the pros one way or another to keep building on the momentum he’s gained. If he can learn to play disciplined while taking his chances at the right time along with a few other nuances he could be a nice value for a late round pick.
