Wow, they trade their best corner last year for a 5th. I wish we would have made this trade!

I think Wilson's height played into that deal. Dude was 5' 9". Carroll always wanted big corners.

Chip Kelly also wants tall corners. The three expected to be starting (assuming they play a lot of nickel) are Byron Maxwell, Nolan Carroll, and Eric Rowe---all 6'1". Brandon Boykin is 5'9".
Same exact situation. They weren't crazy about his size and they weren't going to give him a Chris Harris like contract next year---get something while you can for him.
Also, saying Boykin was the best corner on the Eagles last year is like saying he was the prettiest turd in the toilet.

I'm not arguing that, I'd heard the same about Boykin. I was just saying contract wasn't the only factor in the Wilson trade.
