I should have mentioned this as it would have given me some props, but I was hoping we would move after Stacey. He's more athletic than his brother, and not quite as refined, but Cinci franchised him last season and now he's a FA. With his brother on the team, I bet the 2 of them get their #### together. This was as much of a move to solidify the OL as it was to solidify the Eagles investment in Shawn.kudos
Alot of info, but most of it I like. Believe it or not, I would like the Holt trade alot.
I'd love to get Holt AND a draft pick for Reggie Brown, that would be a shock if that actually happened. I hope they get Housh and make it a done deal soon.
That made little sense to me, so I followed the link and it said Brown and a pick for Holt. I think the Eagles site reversed it.
Half way there. Great signing.

just crazy to think about
Confirmed on his blog NFL Schefter blogAlso just heard that Derrick Ward is visiting the Birds, very interesting.
Sorry if I implied otherwise. I didn't mean "it better not be true" related to Dawkins VISITING the Broncos, I meant it better not be true that we're going to lose him. :( As to D. Ward...I would like that so long as we don't overpay. Rumor is he wants $5-$6mm per and that's going to [rightfully] piss off other Eagles who will feel underpaid. But assuming the contract was palatable, Ward would fit nicely. He's an able receiver, he's proven he can share the spotlight, and he is versatile.Confirmed on his blog NFL Schefter blogAlso just heard that Derrick Ward is visiting the Birds, very interesting.
I didn't know Shawn's sister played football. LT - downgrade from TraLG - unsure...I'd like him at C, but has Brown had experience at guard?C - sameRG - Andrews will still be a question mark for meRT - upgrade from runyan because of his age, maybe a slight downgrade in talent - depends on how he recovers from injuryAll in all, they would drop down a bit in talent, go up a bit in depth (in the draft), and spend a lot of money doing it.
I really do not want to be forced to rename my dog!

Ward I could take or leave, if it's for the right price like you said. He is 29 years old, I have a feeling the Eagles want to go in to training camp with Westbrook, signed FA, and a drafted back or even two drafted backs if Ward is not signed.

Wow, after a brilliant offseason last year, the Falcons show their first big mistake. Good riddance to bad rubbish.Looks like LJ Smith is going to sign with Atlanta. There is one prayer answered!!
Goodbye B-Dawk, you were by far my favorite Eagle of all time. Thanks for all the insane games!Dawk is goneBrian Dawkins Signs in DenverFriday, February 27, 2009Posted By Mike Florio 4:38 PMAfter 13 years with the Eagles, safety Brian Dawkins will have a new home.David White of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Dawkins has agreed to terms with the Broncos.Dawkins, 35, had said during the season that he thought he'd work out a deal to end his career in Philly. It could still happen, but only after a stint with the Broncos.
Dawk is gone
I'M NUMBbut hey we threw 7 mil at Shaun Andrews brother - now we have two nut jobs that can potentially play tackle.Dawk is goneBrian Dawkins Signs in DenverFriday, February 27, 2009Posted By Mike Florio 4:38 PMAfter 13 years with the Eagles, safety Brian Dawkins will have a new home.David White of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Dawkins has agreed to terms with the Broncos.Dawkins, 35, had said during the season that he thought he'd work out a deal to end his career in Philly.

this is crazy...he was the glue on that Defense. does anyone really think the felon from Wisconsin or Demps is ready to start in this league?i know he lost a step, but he made up for it in so many other ways. Who knows, maybe this turns out to be Trotter/Hugh part 3, but it makes me physically ill right at this moment. And does everyone realize now that McNabb HAS to be the leader on this team?Dawk is gone
No way they get Reggie Williams, "Free agent WR Reggie Williams was arrested for a DWI and possession .97 grams of marijuana, both class B misdemeanors. The amount of weed may be small, but the stupidity is enormous. Williams got arrested two hours after free agency started, immediately killing his shaky value on the open market. Williams failed three sobriety tests. He may have to wait for his legal problems to shake out before he even gets invited to a training camp now
Ikegwuonu is a CB.Maybe they're going to pull a Mike Brown out of their ... I would take it.
i know, but i thought on draft day some weresaying that he would probably be a Saftey in the NFL especially after the injury. anyway, that just means Demps has to be ready. And then who is the backup for him? just seems like the eagles could have easily signed Dawk for a 1-2 year deal and kept him happy.Like Herb says, i hope this is just Schefter getting one wrong
You're right. According to my guy, this IS NOT a done deal yet.
Yah something felt kind of fishy. If its only a 2 year deal the Broncos offered him why wouldn't Dawkins let the Eagles match the offer, and why wouldn't the Eagles front office want to match that offer?Deranged Hermit said:
Next to Reggie White he is the greatest defensive player of all time to wear Eagles green- The Birds are 40 mil under the cap - suck it up for goodness sake. I mean your throwiing 7mil at Andrews coming off of major knee surgery
Agree, suck it up and give him a two year deal. He is the leader of the team. Kind of hard for the coaches to ask players to step up and be leaders when great leaders like b.dawk can't even get one extra year on his deal to end his career. They don't even have anyone to replace him. If he wants a 3 years+ deal then that's a different story.
Why do we always stockpile these mid-late round picks that we don't have room for? McNabb must be pumped.
How is S.Andrews a nut job? And it is a nice signing If they could get more then a 4th or 5th for Sheppard they wouldAnd I love Dawkins as much as anyone, but the guy will be 37 and at the very end. No matter how much I will hate to see him leave, they gotta replace him at some pointawesome start to FA....a nutjob coming off major knee surgery, trading away a pro bowl CB for a 5th, and losing the heart and soul of the team (maybe). i wonder who they'll draft this year? I hear there's a wicked punter available at 21
Not a bad call for it only being Jan 19.
