The Eagles have traded guard/tackle Matt Pryor to the Colts. In exchange, the Colts will send a sixth-round round pick from the Birds while sending their own seventh-round choice back to Philly.

It’s a small upgrade for the Eagles, who were set to release Pryor before today’s 4pm ET/3pm CT deadline. The Eagles still have a ways to go with upwards of 20 players to drop in order to get to 53.
Pryor, 26, saw the most action of his career last year with 15 games and ten starts. With Pryor out of the picture, the Eagles are set (for now) to move forward with former Colts swing man Le’Raven Clark and Jack Driscoll for tackle support.
Some about the second sentence in the first paragraph doesn’t sound right. The pick swap upgrade should go to the team trading away the player, unless the accepting team is doing a favor by accepting the contract.
I think the Colts got a sixth from Philly as part of the Wentz trade which they are giving back to Philly plus Indy’s 7th.
True. So the Colts will be sending a pick FROM the Birds?
“In exchange, the Colts will send a sixth-round round pick from the Birds while sending their own seventh-round choice back to Philly.”
Other articles are stating the Colts traded a 6th round pick to Philly in exchange for Pryor and a 7th round pick. Essentially, it’s a pick swap plus a player.
Correct, they swapped picks and by throwing Pryor in the Eagles move up from their 7th to now owning the Colts 6th.
Pryor is a scrub.
