Eagles giving 'serious consideration' to Bell trade?

The Eagles are giving “serious consideration” to the prospect of trading for Le’Veon Bell, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports said during a radio interview with Jon Marks and Ike Reese of Sports Radio WIP (Twitter link).The Eagles have been mulling this trade for a while, La Canfora adds, believing a third-round pick may be enough to get this deal done (Twitter link).Bell said he would report to the Steelers during their Week 7 bye, but La Canfora doubts he’ll ever play for Pittsburgh again, citing the bridge being burned. The Eagles’ interest surfaced over the weekend, with La Canfora reporting the defending Super Bowl champs were among the pursuing franchises.This year’s trade deadline looms in just less than four weeks. The Eagles would have to clear some cap space to afford Bell. While the 26-year-old All-Pro’s price tag continues to drop because of his holdout, it’s still north of $10M. Philadelphia has $4.3M in cap space as of Wednesday. The obvious space-clearing move would be to unload backup quarterback
