And both teams called about players they wanted for one reason or another.
Listen man, I'm just trying to explain economics. There's a reason the Brownies traded a 3rd for a Tyrod Taylor who was going to be cut. There's a reason Sam Bradford was traded for a second round pick and Nick Foles, and then a year later was traded for a first and fourth rounder.
It's called demand. Sometimes it drives prices up. The Eagles need a starting caliber RB in their Super Bowl window. He is worth more to the Eagles than the Giants. Demand.
Really, it's that simple.
