Kevin Curtis has a sports hernia (1 Viewer)

No link, but Meryl Reece the voice of the Eagles was just on 610 WIP here in Philly reporting that WR Kevin Curtis has a sports hernia and will likely have surgery, obviously missing 4+ weeks.

With Reggie Brown having been gimpy all preseason, the mediocre Eagles WR corp is even worse now.

Cany anyone say Anquan Boldin?

Philly should definitely trade a #1 for Boldin.

they're a very good team and that window of being good will only last so long. This team is built to win now.

 
Let's say Boldin were to be in the draft (NFL) at this point. Would it be safe to say he would be a top 5 pick? I would think so. And I just don't think there is any way they would take a late round 1 pick for him, even if Sheppard was included. Boldin is under contract for 3 years, his leverage is minimal.

Umm, the Pats got Moss for a fourth. He's been injured a lot too. I think a first should do it.

Amazing to see this lousy argument getting repeated once again in the SP. :sadbanana:

The guy has been the league five years and has two 16-game seasons under his belt.03: 1604: 1005: 1406: 1607: 12games played, not started. I just wonder how much a team would be willing to give for a player with that injury history. I mean a team that's not the Raiders.
 
I would be surprised to see Westbrook split out as a receiver and maybe have Booker in the backfield (who is supposed to be a good receiver).

 
If the Cards don't trade Boldin they're stupid.

They should just admit "We blew it with Fitzgerald's contract and can't afford to pay both of you." Keeping a player that doesn't want to be there never made sense to me. I understand playing hardball and all, but the Cards aren't a team that can do that.

Going by what I've heard out of their camp, a trio of Fitz, Breaston, and Doucet (with a sprinkling of Pope/Patrick at TE) would do the trick. Especially since Breaston brings a speed element that's not there with Boldin.

Adding a first rounder (and perhaps a bit more) can only help a team that's been as traditionally miserable for so, so long. If the Eagles threw in Sheppard, it would be a no brainer IMO.

Wasn't it Sheppard and a 1st that was offered, reportedly?

And you can bet that Arizona's price just went up (if they'd even do it at all, which appears unlikely).This feels more like a Joe Horn band-aid than a Boldin trade.

:hophead: :) @ the Iggles fans who think they can pick up Boldin for a 1st.

From a Kevin Curtis injury report to fantasy followers suggesting a trade of Boldin to Philly.

The Boldin-to-Philly fantasy has been around for some time now.

Exactly. It's still probably not happening, but it's not like the chatter isn't there. And it's also not like the LOGIC isn't there. 'Zona could use a starting caliber defensive back. Any team can use a 1st round pick. Philly needs a WR. They would prefer one with size and familiarity with the WCO. Boldin is unhappy, contends he's not talking to his head coach, and wants Larry Fitz money, which the team clearly isn't going to give him. Now the Cards may dig in their heels and call his bluff, but logically, it's a deal that makes imminent sense for both teams.

:)A 1st and a starting cornerback...for a wide receiver?!?!? I would argue the Eagles would be overpaying, but am OK with that out of sheer fanboy desperation. :)

Throwing in Lito makes it more reasonable for sure. My post was from earlier in the thread before I sew the mention of Lito. :)
 
i'm amazed at how little people seem to value a 1st round pick when they discuss this hypothetical trade.

last i checked they were pretty valuable commodities. sure the eagles won't be a high one, but it could be a pretty good one. they do play in the same division as the super bowl champs, the NFC's best team (arguably) and '07 playoff team that could be even better this year.

there's a good chance this could be a pretty good pick.

the "could you get an anquan boldin with a 1st round pick argument" just doesn't hold up. 99% of trades involving draft picks involve players who are better than the the player that will be drafted with the pick.

sure, boldin's under a nice contract for 3 more years, but he's going to cost more money than that. whether with the cards or some other team. he feels he's underpaid and appears he may not be happy until he's getting the money he thinks he deserves.

personally, i think the cards would be crazy not to accept a 1st plus lito offer if it came.

i'm not even so sure the eagles would be smart to offer that much for an injury prone, drew rosenhaus WR that wants more money. a pro bowl corner and potentially a good pick seems like it's too much to offer for a guy with so much risk.

 
If the Cards are serious about Leinart, and it seems they are, I dunno if trading Anquan this year is the move. He is signed through 2010, they don't have to rush. If I was them, I might be thinking that my team is better off with Anquan for another year, let Breaston and Doucet assert themselves, as they are unproven. A few nice catches in the preseason doesn't mean much.

They'd also be trading him for a draft pick that is an unknown quantity right now, they might want to wait until the spring, and they'd have a better idea of what that pick might bring.

I think it's real, real tough for a player of Anquan's caliber to get traded so close to the season, for a team to remove a guy like him from their offense so close to the start of the season.

 
This is obviously bad news for potential McNabb owners. I was looking at him this year and was already scared off that his WRs are average w/ Curtis being the best target.

From Don Banks @ si.com:

I watched most of that Panthers-Eagles game Thursday night -- even making it through that almost one-hour weather delay -- and all I kept thinking was that Philly head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg looked in midseason form.

The Eagles threw the ball 52 times in the game, completing 25 for 247 yards passing, compared to just 22 rushes. Does anybody in the league bother giving less lip service to the myth of the all-important balanced offense? Philly's going to throw the ball more than it runs. A lot more. Almost every time.

McNabb has looked solid this preseason so are any of you re-thinking him as a sleeper in drafts this year?

 
***Rumor***

A Cowboys message board I frequent says that someone on the Dallas 1310 ESPN station speculates that the Cowboys have offered their first round pick in 2009 and DE Spears for Boldin.

LJ Smith and McNabb both had them, and they lingered.

Here's a sample question on the football SAT test:

Sports hernias is to Philadelphia as staph infections is to_________

 
OMFG, unless Reid gets over his aversion to starting rookie WRs, the Eagles might open against the Rams with Greg Lewis and Hank Baskett starting.

:confused:

:wall:

and the Eagles F.O. wonders why attendance was down at camp this year.

While it may seem unreasonable, teams do strange things. Randy Moss for a 4th? Wes Welker for a 2nd?Boldin for a 1st and AZ losing a locker room headache may be enough. Who knows.
 
lol @ 1200+ reads of a thread about Curtis having a hernia. Bunch gubmint workers around here?

I don't see this as all that big of a deal, really. Curtis was pretty good last year but not amazing and I like what I see of Jackson.
