Fans react to Colin Cowherd urging Eagles to trade four 1st-round picks, Darius Slay to acquire Russell Wilson
How much is Russell Wilson worth?

The Eagles are among the teams in the NFL that move the needle on a daily basis and for Colin Cowherd, his focus is constantly on the quarterback position.
The prior three years were all about Carson Wentz, but with Jalen Hurts now entrenched as the starter and Philadelphia equipped with three-first round picks, the 2022 offseason is all the rage for hot takes and trade scenarios.
Cowherd believes the Eagles should copy the Rams recipe for going all-in on a Super Bowl, but he took the suggestion 30 steps further, urging Philadelphia to include star cornerback Darius Slay and four first-round picks to acquire Russell Wilson from the Seahawks.
The 33-year-old Wilson currently holds has a $37 million cap hit in 2022 and a $40 million cap hit in 2023.
The reactions are about what you would expect from social media.

Landing Russell Wilson would deplete the Eagles’ defense.
Great OL – something he hasn’t had in Seattle.
A go to WR – DeVonta is a 1500 yard receiver waiting for a good QB.
The best TE he’s ever had.Giving up so many 1’s would deplete their ability to improve on defense so I wouldn’t over pay.

This fan took Cowherd seriously, and then offered a lengthy rebuttal on why such a move wouldn’t be that prudent.
@ColinCowherd is crazy! The @Eagles aren’t ready to win yet, have a huge number of holes and an aging QB is not going to help right now, while giving up the necessary assets to build the team and your best defensive player @bigplay24slay
