00:00So tell me about the Goddard deal, how it shook out because there was talk of the Eagles and Howie dealing Goddard away after they won the Super Bowl and in the entire offseason.
00:12How did the rework deal go?
00:16Yeah, so here's what I'm told.
00:17They actually tried to trade him.
00:18It's absolutely true.
00:19They actually gave her permission to seek a trade.
00:21Goddard wasn't looking to get traded.
00:24The Eagles told him that, listen, we're going to give you permission to seek a trade here because we're looking to move your contract.
00:29They were looking to move the $15.25 million.
00:33There were some teams interested, but the problem with Goddard in a trade is getting him to agree to a deal, and that wasn't going to happen.
00:40So he's going to stay.
00:41Now, Scott, the Eagles have seven tight ends on the roster.
00:45They didn't have someone who could replace him had they traded him, but what the Eagles did this offseason, Scott, is interesting.
00:52They win the Super Bowl, but they're looking to shed cash.
00:54It had nothing to do with the salary cap.
00:55They were looking to move as much cash as they could.
00:58They cut Darius Slay.
00:59They moved on from him.
01:00They moved on from a bunch of players this offseason.
01:02They traded C.J. Garner-Johnson, who's a terrific safety.
01:05They moved his $8.5 million.
01:07So, yeah, they did some interesting things this offseason.
01:11They lost five starters on defense, Scott.
01:14And honestly, that minus 165, look, I know there are a lot of Bandwagon Eagle fans out there.
01:18The best value in the NFC East is the commanders are plus 225.
01:22Well, we'll be right back.
01:23The future.
01:24Well, we'll be right back.
