Eagles trade RB Charles Scott to the Cardinals

The Eagles made a minor trade today, dealing rookie running back Charles Scott to the Arizona Cardinals for rookie cornerback Jorrick Calvin. Both players were 6th round picks in the draft this year and were taken back-to-back, with Scott being selected 200th overall and Calvin being taken 201st overall.

This deal boils down to two teams dealing away rookies who probably weren't going to make the final roster. For Scott, who was originally drafted with the idea that he would be a nice short-yardage back, it's a chance for a fresh start after the Eagles demoted him to backup fullback. For Calvin, who does have some kick-returning experience, he comes to a team that's already so loaded at cornerback that Macho Harris had to move back to safety. The best-case scenario for Calvin is likely a spot on the Eagles practice squad.
