He obviously doesn't think so. Like I said, they had an agreement in place with Walker, just not GB. Heck, same thing happened with Owens if I remember correctly.
i loved the eagles draft, but javon walker could be the differnece between a chance at the super bowl and a ho-hum 10-6 season. being a packer fan i can tell any concerned eagles fans...he's not a "TO type" guy. walker is a hard worker and will not be an issue for the broncos. you can't dismiss the ACL injury, but from all reports (and multiple team physicals) he's good to go this year
Again? They sucked last year. Their division got better. They come in last.
come playoff time (assuming the eagles make it again) they'll really regret not having another playmaker around mcnabb and westbrook

They won't even finish in the top 2 of their division, you know that.meaning they missed the playoffs last year after making it the past 4 or 5 yearsAgain? They sucked last year.

NFL games are still won in the trenches and the eagles have the best trench players within the division...when they make their way back to the playoffs (against other teams with great line play) they'll be unable to put enough points on the board to move on without a playmaker at WR or RB who can move the pile
nowhere in my post do i say "superstar" WR...IF brown develops i agree, but that's a big IF right nowwhat recent team has not had an above average goal-line running game and won the super bowl?
and I like the Eagles but in no way do they have enough receivng talent to win the Super Bowl. In some unimaginalbe way that they win the SB with the WR's they have right now, it won't be because of WR play, but it will be the defense playing at a ridicuolously high level. Philly is a WR away from being really dominant on offense like when they had T. Owens. I am pretty sure that Brown' s development this year will not be able to compensate the lack of depth they have at WR. Heck has Brown ever faced teams number one corners and defenses game planning for him? I like the Eagles and want them to succeed but they need a WR from somewhere.

One of the most competitive divisions in football for sure, but the Eagles could EASILY win the division....or finish 4th. Right now I would say they're up against the Giants for the top spot, and if I had to make a bet I would say 9-7, 2nd in the East, and a wild card.
9-7 won't be 2nd in the East OR a WIld Card. What are you smoking?They won't even finish in the top 2 of their division, you know that.meaning they missed the playoffs last year after making it the past 4 or 5 yearsAgain? They sucked last year.

antowain smith is never going to be confused with earl campbell, but the patriots rushing game at the goal-line was
Of course not, there hasn't been an NFC wildcard team at 9-7 since 2004 (actually both were 8-8) and it has been just as long since a 6-10 finished 2nd in the NFC East9-7 won't be 2nd in the East OR a WIld Card.

He had 287 attmps, 1157 yards, 4.0 ypc, 12 TDs. If I recall correctly, a lot of those TDs were at the goaline.
Not to let the truth get in the way of the facts, but the Packers wanted a 1st round pick from the Eagles, not a second.This goes in line what another poster said about the Pack wanting Walker out of the NFC.
Gotta love the dude who piles on AFTER the fact.That info (GB wanting a 1st from PHI) wasn't revealed until WAAAAAYYYY after I posted the initial info. I just logged on now to update, looks like you took care of that.
Which is why it was stupid on the Eagles part to be stubborn and not give TO a new contract. With the draft they just had and how weak the NFC really is imagine with TO how good this team would be for the nexty 3 years at least (of course Dallas would suck without TO....so take that into account). Given how well the Eagles manage their cap, sometimes you have to overpay someone like TO to get you the ring. These opportunities do not come a lot of times. And once you earn the ring, I bet you get enough $$$ in some way to recover that extra $$ you gave TO. Yes TO is an ###, but the Eagles clearly dropped the ball on this. All of the other issues (Mcnabb problems, fighting with other players etc) happened afterwards. If the contract had been re-negotiated to appease TO, the Eagles would be in the SB this upcomogn year, barring unforeseen injuries.

Remember Denver's 2nd (37) was pretty close to a 1st round pick
well they got a second and a third for him when they traded down so obviously didnt want him in philly
If they did this they would have sent a message to every player on the team that if they just act like an ### they will get whatever they want. That is not the way you want your football team to think or act. The Birds did exactly the right thing in the TO situation, and they will still be in the playoffs this year even without him.Which is why it was stupid on the Eagles part to be stubborn and not give TO a new contract.

The more I read about the T.O. debacle, the less I think it was about the money. At the root of the problem was T.O. was just dead set on creating as many problems as he possibly could for his coaches and his teammates. The Eagles could have given T.O. a new contract but I believe it was unlikely that his behavior and intentions to annoy, bother and make a mockery out of the franchise would not have changed.Which is why it was stupid on the Eagles part to be stubborn and not give TO a new contract.

Eh, why bother? That's exactly how they stole TO from the Ravens (who had a deal with the team that owned his rights).NFC East is going to be highly competitive this year. The teams are all very closely matched -- just can't tell if they're all pretty good, or just a notch above average.
a ho-hum 10-6 season ?Vegas odd makers have the Eagles finishing in last place.
