Rise ‘n Grind: Are the Eagles going to trade up for Marcus Mariota or what?

WILL CHIP GET HIS MAN: The Eagles-Marcus Mariota trade talk is heating up again. Now, Peter King is saying that Chip Kelly’s team has the best shot at getting up to the second pick, a move that may mean Sam Bradford goes to Tennessee ... or maybe even Cleveland. Someone who knows Kelly really well also thinks he’ll get his man on Thursday night. Philly could throw in some of their own players to make the move, including Brandon Boykin and Mychal Kendricks.

FALCONS-IRVIN TALK: The Atlanta Falcons could be trading for a pass rusher after all, just not the move up in the draft that most have been buzzing about lately. There’s talk now that the Seahawks could ship Bruce Irvin to Atlanta, where he’d be reunited with Dan Quinn. Seattle will not be picking up Irvin’s fifth-year option, but they reportedly want him back anyway.
