general manager Howie Roseman has gambled — and won — on unhappy stars who wanted to be rescued from other teams..
When Byard had awoken two days earlier, he was on a last-place Tennessee Titans team that, at 2-4, has decided to rebuild. They traded him to the first-place , who could be headed to their second consecutive Super Bowl.
— Cornerback Darius Slay was rescued in 2020 from the Detroit Lions, where his head coach, Matt Patricia, backhanded the All-Pro by insisting he wasn’t “elite.” Since the trade, Slay, who has missed only one game in four seasons, has nine interceptions and two pick-sixes, and has twice made Pro Bowl teams.
Brown has been so good that head coach Nick Sirianni said he told owner Jeffrey Lurie, “Thanks for the $100 million to pay A.J. Brown,” adding that, as a guy raised in a blue-collar family, “I never thought those words would ever come out of my mouth.” “Howie is always in a mindset of trying to figure out how we can win now,” defensive end Brandon Graham said. “, they just want to go out and prove that you that you made the right decision. That’s why a lot of guys have success. ... When you know somebody wants you and believes in you, there is something on the inside that just makes you want to show them.”
To make these deals even better, Roseman has purchased the players rather cheaply — mostly for mid-round and late-round picks. For example, to get Byard, the sent backup safety Terrell Edmunds and 2024 fifth- and sixth-rounders.
