The Facts:
After the Eagles failed to execute a trade for tight end Tony Gonzalez, they called the Broncos to seek a trade for Scheffler. But barring the unlikely event the Eagles surrender a first-round pick for Scheffler, the Broncos won't listen.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Eagles offered only a third-round pick to Kansas City for Gonzalez, the all-time career leader among TEs in nearly every receiving category. The Post suggests that Scheffler, at 26, could have more trade value than Gonzalez, at 33. It's a valid argument. Scheffler will make $535,000 this year, while Gonzalez is the league's highest- paid tight end at $7 million. Scheffler led all tight ends with a 16.1-yards-per-catch average last season while Gonzalez averaged 11.0 yards per catch. Still, it's hard to imagine anybody giving up a first-rounder for Scheffler.
