The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to trade Carson Wentz, but it sounds like they will have to lower their asking price in order for a deal to be made.

Michael Lombardi of The Athletic was told by a source that the return the Eagles want in a potential Wentz trade is "ridiculous" and "laughable." Some teams will not even bother with counter-offers until Philadelphia lowers its expectations.

The Eagles asking price, according to one team source, was ridiculous, laughable, and not worth countering. Until they lower their expectations, based on the uncertainty of the player and contract, their initial price will never be obtained.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday that the Eagles are looking for a return similar to the one the Detroit Lions got for Matthew Stafford. That was multiple future first-round picks, a third round pick this year and Jared Goff.

The Eagles are said to have received some aggressive offers for Wentz. However, one reputable radio host wonders if Philly is leaking information like that in an attempt to drum up interest in its former No. 2 pick.

Doug Pederson wearing a suit and tie holding a cell phone: In sports, no job is forever. Coaches are hired to be fired and no matter what kind of success you have at a franchise, the only certainty is that one day they will be replaced. Hopefully, you get to do so on your own terms. For most franchises, winning a championship is a defining moment that hangs banners from the rafters, fills trophy cases with hardware, and coaches get honored with statues in front of the stadium or streets named after them. Some get revered to the point of legend (Ditka!) yet some see their honeymoon end rather quickly. There have been plenty of coaches and managers who didn't last long after they brought their teams to the top of their sport.It happens in a variety of ways. Some coaches have a toxic relationship with management that forces them out. Some struggled to recapture the glory days and were quickly let go. Sometimes outside forces bear down on the situation and force a move. It recently happened when the Philadelphia Eagles fired Doug Pederson just three years after he led them to their first Super Bowl title. It can sour very quickly.Here are 20 times a head coach was let go within four seasons from bringing their franchise a championship.
