The Eagles and Titans have agreed to another trade this year. The first of course being to send off of DeMarco Murray to Tennessee. Both clubs have announced the deal.

On the surface it looks as though the Eagles are winners in this swap. Green-Beckham, a 2015 2nd round pick, had a productive rookie campaign a year ago. He will be looking to improve upon a 32 catch, 549 yards, and four touchdown rookie season. A team that desperate for wide receiver depth gets a guy who is also a nice red-zone piece at 6’6″.
For Tennessee this trade ultimately gives them more offensive line depth. Kelly, a former 5th round pick, has appeared in 30 games with 15 starts for the Eagles in 4 seasons. He likely won’t start but he will provide depth. We already talked about how the Titans would have to make a tough decision in parting with one of their many wide outs. DGB is the guy that goes.
