Getting Weaver back is big, I also hear that Kampman is the DE they are going after and not Peppers. But that's just rumors and hearsay. Have you heard anything about Kampman DH?Weaver is a very important piece. I would like to see his role expanded a little more in 2010. Any details on the terms?
Where is everyone reading that we signed Weaver? I think we will and have seen that they are real close, but has it actually happened?Getting Weaver back is big, I also hear that Kampman is the DE they are going after and not Peppers. But that's just rumors and hearsay. Have you heard anything about Kampman DH?
Kampman is supposedly almost a done deal in Seattle
Looks like he is going to be invled in the run game more since they gave him that money
Yes, pretty good indication that he is going to be used much more. He might have some decent fantasy value next year.
Accounts receivable's involved with trades now?
If true, sort of gives you a hint who Shefter and DH's source/friend may get their info from... LOL! The off-season, good stuff!
So unless this is a smoke screen so Andy saves face with McNabb, the organization will be divided on whoever the QB is next year. Like I mentioned previously, they have gotten themselves into somewhat of a mess at QB. I was listening to Peter King on Sirius this morning and resolving the QB situation was the Eagles top priority in his opinion.Can the Eagles actually bring McNabb back at this point? Especially without an extension. Its kinda out there in the open now that the team isn't fully in support of him. And if the front office isn't behind him 100%, how can the players be?
LOL...the only QB under contract that doesn't have leverage is Vick! I really wouldn't expect Kolb to hold out though. Things have been pretty quiet on the extension Mr. Hermit hinted was in the works. I guess his camp is waiting to see what they do with #5 first. Its becoming pretty obvious though where the team's long-term loyalty lies.
Make sure to have him take a Physical! Anal probe if they have to. A guy coming off ACL surgery doesn't sound like someone I want.
Exactly. So we are going to have a MLB coming off a knee injury and possible a starting DE now.
JoeFortenbaugh: Update: Report now coming in that Kampman has changed his mind, will NOT visit with the #EaglesJay Glazer: Correction on kampan, birds have had talks w his rep but he is NOT visiting at this point. Also, just talked w (cont) http://tl.gd/dv83s
LesBowenForgot to tweet rite away -- the move was the release of Will Witherspoon. Not a shocker - expensive for a guy who might not start in '10.
Yeah, little disappointing
Not to mention actually cutting Witherspoon. Maybe Rolle? Maybe?
face after it. He also said he thought for sure that they (the Eagles) were going to get Peppers.
I don't think its that dire. Remember Bradley got hurt in the early days of camp. Its not like he went down in December like Welker. He should be ready to roll by September. I thought Jordan looked pretty good. He will probably be the Will. I don't know what they'll do at strongside. I didn't see anything memorable about Foiku. Gocong is adequate for the few snaps a game where three linebackers are actually on the field. It would be nice to see a veteran backup brought in in case Bradley has a setback in his recovery. Trotter was brutal early on, but once he got in game shape he had a few strong moments. Don't get me wrong, Trotter is pretty slow, but he is average enough to be a backup. I think his starting days are long over.On the other hand, if what I read in the IDP forum about Kirk Morrison is accurate, I wouldn't mind seeing him brought in. he's a big guy who would look great at any of the three spots and can play on passing downs.
thats what we thought about greg jones too though.
This is the first I've heard about Whitner. Not doubting but a link for more info?ETA: Went to the Eagles' board and found the link to PFT about Whitner. However, as one poster mentioned, he lost the starting job last year under Jauron's watch. Doubtful he'll endorse a trade for him now.
i meant to say, 'a trade" I'm only saying that is what I would like to see as an Eagle fan. Need an answer at safety- sick of the shuffling. Not sure Demps or Macho Harris is anything more than 3rd safety material
I'll address the first part. I've heard(and I could be wrong as I haven't researched it for a definitive answer) that the owners stand to pocket $5 billion from DirecTV regardless of whether there is football or not. Thus the talk of no football.
Wow. If that is true it is criminal.
It's not entirely true. The $5 billion is essentially just a loan that would need to be paid back via reductions in future TV deals.
COrrect, but it does move some of that pressure to the players. As a double whammy, if a deal were done later, the lower TV money would have to be accounted for...meaning less money available for the players (assuming a deal similar to the last, where players are paid based on league income.)
I'm totally OK with this and glad we didn't sign him. I'm thinking after seeing our inactivity this FA period that McNabb leaving is a must. Had we inked a combination of Peppers, Rolle, Dansby etc then I would have been OK with bringing him back. As it stands today we should cut ties with him.
I think this was a given...they may just keep him, and take whatever compensatory pick they get after he leaves next year
