4 Reasons Philadelphia Eagles trading Zach Ertz is a bad idea

3. Doesn’t this team have a hard enough time acquiring talent?

Sometimes, you learn things about something once it ends, and if you haven’t learned anything else about what happened with Malcolm Jenkins, it should be this. It was never about the money. If it was, he wouldn’t have signed on for $8 million per season to go back to the New Orleans Saints. Jenkins just wanted to be respected (and maybe cash in on one final payday), but since his dismissal, we’ve all learned of another theory.

There’s some talk that this Eagles organization wants one leader in the locker room, and they want that leader to be Carson Wentz.

In the span of a couple of days, 94 WIP-FM on-air personality and former Eagles linebacker IKe Reese and NBC Sports Philly’s John Clark both shared a similar theory, one stating that Jenkins’ presence in the locker room may have overshadowed Wentz’s to some degree. Fast forward and there are also other theories that have come into play.

Just look at this one from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. He recently dropped a few theories on the mindset of all 32 NFL franchises as we sauntered through free agency,

"After making dozens of calls on the receiver market in the last week, the belief is the Eagles want a younger player who will mesh with Carson Wentz rather than a veteran who might have his own style of play. They took a similar approach with the offensive staff, opting not to hire a playcaller from the outside. Philly is all-in on Wentz, obviously, so the pieces around him will be tailored accordingly."

There’s nothing wrong with that right? Well, ladies and gentlemen, you have to be aware of the fact that every story has more than one side.
