Just a rumor: Possibility of Holt to the Eagles? (1 Viewer)

[JohnnyU]

I know this is probably mentioned in the Eagles thread, but some things shouldn't be burried.

ESPN Reports: Coming from a very reliable source within the Eagles' organization, within the next 24 to 48 hours Lito Sheppard will be shipped to the St. Louis Rams along with the 19th Pick in the 2008 draft for Rams' wideout Torry Holt. The 31-year old Holt, going into his 10th NFL season, had a very impressive 2007 season. He finished with 93 receptions for 1,189 yards and 7 touchdowns. This addition will vastly improve a struggling Eagles' wide receiving corps

This can't be good for Bulger or S.Jax

 

[sheerterror]

Sounds like a lot to give up for Holt given his injuries.

Would much rather have Fitz at that price.

The Rams would be getting a steal. Holt is all but done.

Agreed, go after Roy Williams then. He might be cheaper since DET is shopping him.

 

[RBM]

Rams get rid of both starting wrs? Not buying this

 

[JuSt CuZ]

So.........Who would catch the ball other then S Jax in St. Louie

Can someone elaborate on this for me?

 

[fsufan]

I do not see how this would affect Sjax. I think he will have a great year if healthy, with or without Holt.

no chance the Eagles trade for 31 year old WR

Moss is 31.

This isn't even being reported on PFT. I don't think there is any substance to this at all.

Chicago did it!!!

Moss is 31.

and would have been signed as a FA. Huge difference than giving up 1.19 for him. I know you realized that ... you know, with all your FF championships

[Keys Myaths]

no chance the Eagles trade for 31 year old WR

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nf...l-pending_x.htmThe Eagles sent a fifth-round draft pick to Baltimore and defensive end Brandon Whiting to San Francisco. The Ravens get back the second-round pick they sent to the 49ers for Owens.

On March 16th, 2004, Terrell Owens was 30 years, 4 months old.

Close enough.

 

[sheerterror]

And once again, an ESPN rumor looks to be bunk. Man, has that company lost a TON of credibility this offseason.

 

[Brutis]

Drew Bennett lol

Looks like a fake. It's not showing up anywhere on ESPN.com.

If it is a fake I apologize to everyone for posting it. I guess I was fooled.

I don't think this is an ESPN rumor. Just something being reported as such by someone. Can't find ANYTHING about this.

5th round != 1.19Please name the last time the Eagles traded a 1st round pick for a player.

Oh well....they still suck.

 

[Donny Loved Bowling]

This rumor simply doesn't ring true. Eagles offer Sheppard and a 2nd for Fitz and are told "not enough"... so they offer Sheppard and a 1st for Holt? Nah.

At this point I expect the Eagles to be linked to every top-end wideout in the NFL, as they shop the package they offered to Arizona to other teams. PFT speculated that Torry Holt, Roy Williams and Andre Johnson would be targets that they might have a shot at acquiring.

So you're changing your statement because I proved the original one false?Cool.

Nice straw man you have going there.

 

[vandyt]

Eagles fans will believe anything.

 

[greenf7cat]

my roommate just texted me stating that the rams got Lito and 19 pick.. I can't verify where he got this from

 

[Buckna]

Sounds like a lot to give up for Holt given his injuries.

Yes, the 2 whole games he's missed in 9 seasons is very worrisome.

 

[Beaumont]

The Rams dont need another CB and cant afford to part with a WR.

Otherwise, this trade makes sense.

 

[suchislife]

Eagles fans will believe anything.

Examples please? Otherwise please stop pissing.

 

[JohnnyU]

The amount of games he played without injury has nothing to do with his current health status. His knee should be worrisome.

 

[Winning IS Everything]

Just a FYI but yardbarker.com is basically just a rumor site, with various rumors for just about ANY player in the NFL. Take what they say with a grain of salt. They had Fitz traded to about 8 teams last week.

Edit to add: ANYONE can sign up there and post stuff. It very easily could have been some hack just signed up to rile Eagle fans.

 

[gianmarco]

Can we change this title please?

Have anything more substantive than speculation from when he was rehabbing his knee last August?

Any update?

 

[Banger]

So the Rams are going to from 5 wide a few years ago with Martz to no wr's this year. Won't happen.

 

[gianmarco]

I just heard they are trading Bulger and SJax too. Their plan is to focus on defense.

 

[TheWick]

How about the Rams do this deal and then get either Fitz or Ocho?

Okay now I'm dreaming

Yes, the eagles traded for TO. Is that what you wanted to hear? No TO was not 31, and if you want to be 'close enough', add 8 months to TO's 30th bday.Again, no chance Phi trades for a 31 year old WR.

Phi has traded for an almost 31 WR using a 5th round pick and chum player. How that translates to giving up the 19th pick in this draft for a player who is in fact 31 ill never know.

I got nothin' Sorry

 

[CommuterMan]

Don't forget about special teams... they spent a lot of $$$ to get Brown. My guess is they plan to run the ball and kick field goals when SJax is stopped inside the red zone.

 

[FavreCo]

This can't be good for Bulger or S.Jax

But it is fantastic news for my #6 WR, Drew Bennett. I should be able to pawn him off for a 2008 or 2009 1st round dynasty pick.

I've been reading Woodrow's "Bringing It Home For Jerome" posts for years. :X

It's not speculation. He showed up on the injury report for the first 7 or 8 weeks of the season, and beyond that it was well known and publicized that his knee was not healthy. Despite the great career he's had, at 31 and coming off of a season where he had a lingering knee injury the entire year, this would be greatly overpaying for him on the part of the Eagles.
