Jay Glazer reports on FOXSports.com that the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles have recently talked about a potential trade that would send Eagles DT Corey Simon to the Ravens in exchange for second and third round draft choices over the next two years. However, such a deal would be contingent upon Baltimore being able to work out a long-term contract extension with Simon, who is the Eagles' franchise player. Simon's agent has talked with the Ravens recently; they are looking for a deal that is on par with some of the top pass rushing defensive linemen in the league. Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome has denied any deal is in place.

if we had simon to aide the switch to 4-3 our defense would be better than our superbowl year. i am weary of giving up 2nd and 3rd round picks over multiple years so hopefully something can be worked out but id love to see him in purple...

Yikes.. Baltimore is insane, I don't think I plan on drafting any offensive players in the AFC North.

I just heard this on the radio, they say the deal has to be done in the next 48 hours or it isn't going to happen. This would be a great move by the Eagles! It would solidify that there going to trade up in the draft. DO IT!

Two questions for Ravens fans, one is Gregg your other starting DT still? Second do you think SImon is worth 2 picks?

This is a good deal for both teams, especially w/ how smart the Eagles are w/ their draft picks.

Seems good to me. If nfldraftcountdown.com is right (and they usually are), the Eagles will trade up for a DT, so we might as well get some picks for Simon instead of keeping him around for just one more year.
