Reactions to the Dorial Green-Beckham trade: "Low risk, major reward for the Eagles"

The Philadelphia Eagles stunned everyone on Tuesday morning by acquiring the talented (but troubled) Dorial Green-Beckham in a trade with the Tennessee Titans. Here are some immediate reactions to the deal.

WR Dorial Green Beckham told me the #Eagles "feel like my role could be a starter. I feel good. I'm just ready to get back to playing."

Dorial Green-Beckham told me he's anxious to catch up w/ Jordan Matthews (Vanderbilt) again who he played against while at Missouri. #Eagles

WR Dorial Green-Beckham was drafted by old #Titans leadership. There weren't issues with him in TEN, just wasn't a fit. Eagles think he is

DGB is a supersized receiver who had a ton of issues in college. A talent, no doubt. Was once the No. 1 high school recruit in America.

DGB drafted by old Titans regime. New group looking for more cerebral WRs. So fit was an element, as was WR depth. https://t.co/QoMBefoxRT

The #Eagles have been in the market for a receiver all offseason. They offered Anquan Boldin a nice deal, for instance. Now deal for DGB.

#Eagles coach Doug Pederson has some Andy Reid qualities & this feels like a Reid trade of the past: AJ Jenkins for Jon Baldwin. Fresh start

#Titans are upset w/ how Green-Beckham responded to demands. Told to work harder in offseason, came in out of shape. Didn't improve. #Eagles

There is a "fit" aspect to #Titans bailing on Green-Beckham. The players who work hard fit the program. They wanted more from him. #Eagles

Titans coach Mike Mularkey recently on Green-Beckham: He's "inconsistent still. It's bad day, good day, same thing since the very first day"

DGB's 549 yards would have been third on the team last year, and his four TDs would have been second. Let that sink in.

Re: Dorial Green-Beckham... you could do worse than taking chance on a former #1 HS recruit who was hailed as a cross b/w TO + Megatron

Never a good sign when a team gives up on 2nd rd pick after 1 yr, but this is a quintessential Howie trade. No risk, major potential reward.

— Dan (@dklausner) August 16, 2016

DGB is such a Howie move.
Player for player trade ✔️
Top HS recruit ✔️
Character issues ✔️
Eagles WRs still stink though.

Not super enthusiastic about a guy whose work ethic was questioned during camp, but yay for a new WR, I suppose... https://t.co/lbgUVeGJIQ

— Alexis Chassen (@Lovelybuckeye) August 16, 2016

I want no part of DGB on this team.

— Ben Natan (@TheBenNatan) August 16, 2016

I mean DGB clearly has been awful. But I mean we're giving up nothing for a guy with talent, why not?!

— Jonny Page (@JonnyPage9) August 16, 2016

Let's see how this plays out. If he's so good why are Titans getting rid of him for a backup OT? https://t.co/PSKpEvdy36

Eagles loading up on bad players who are hard to root for? Oh yeah baby

#Eagles acquiring a younger Rueben Randle to learn how to be Rueben Randle from Rueben Randle.

The back corner of the end zone?
It belongs to Dorial Green-Beckham.

And now he's joining the @Eagles. https://t.co/1kRj9T9ywA
