Givens reportedly resigned with the Pats.I disagree. I think he would be a great band-aid for the next 2 seasons while Reggie improves. What are our other options? ARE, GIvens?A) I don't think soB) I hope I'm right
I want absolutely ZERO part of Eric Moulds
Antonio Bryant. PLEASE???I disagree. I think he would be a great band-aid for the next 2 seasons while Reggie improves. What are our other options? ARE, GIvens?A) I don't think soB) I hope I'm right

I don't think Antonio will be an Eagle. I heard on Sirius NFL radio jsut a short time ago that San Fran is negotiating with Antonio and hope to have him signed soon.Antonio Bryant.

He and Julian Peterson are the only ones on my "wish list" left...
I'm all for bringing in Darren Howard but let's not mistake that for a major, impact signing. The guy hasn't played more than 13 games in the last three seasons, had just 3.5 sacks this past year and was relegated to 2nd string backup duties despite playing on one of the league's worst defense.
gllll with Todd PinkstonI want absolutely ZERO part of Eric Moulds
And on that note, why would any agent encourage their player to play for them?
Eagles window is closing...the Browns are the future
Not if the Cards have anything to say about it.Eagles window is closing...the Browns are the future
Woodrow, I tried to convince you once before when you said Bruce over Moulds. I know you favored bringing in Bruce (if he had been available) yet you don't like Moulds.Moulds would be a great complimentary receiver to Reggie Brown, and put Pinkston at the 3 and Greg Lewis at the 4, both where they belong.A) I don't think soB) I hope I'm right

Players have left the Eagles and come back after chasing the money. See Jeremiah Trotter, Hugh Douglas, and now Shawn Barber.The Eagles are a class organization and Jeff Lurie has spent well on facilities, staff and an organization.
Yes, of course. WIP. Hasn't misled anyone lately, have they?
Let's not get worked up about everything here. Mike Anderson was hardly someone the Eagles needed to target. If the team feels it needs another back, this is a fantastic year to get that back in the draft. It's a deep RB class and the Birds have a boatload of picks.
If the Eagles draft someone in the 3rd round, he's going to be younger, cheaper than $2 million per year and quite likely more productive.
I didn't believe the reports of the Eagles being interested in Mike Anderson. He is going to be 33 years old in September. The Eagles don't sign aging players to contracts like that. Bottom line is let Baltimore have him. If the Eagles want to sign an aging back, I am sure there is someone out there to sign for the league minimum.
There's a difference between players coming back to a team after chasing the money, and choosing not to come to a team in the first place.The Eagles did not act like a class organization with their handling of the Owens situation. You can call them tough, or no-nonsense, but not classy. That was one of the worst things that a team has done to a player in sports, and yet the media ate it up while letting the wife beaters slide.Players have left the Eagles and come back after chasing the money.

Add in the fact that the Eagles have been in the hunt since 2001 every year (minus 2005), and there's plenty of incentive to head to Philly.

The Eagles were not in the hunt, specifically because of the way they treated Owens. And now they're actually worse off at receiver than before, worse off at running back with McNabb hurt most of the season, nothing but Westbrook at RB, and a defense that looked nonplussed last year. I think they'll bounce back some, but I expect more of a 2005 Dolphins year than a 2004 Eagles year.
The NFL is a fraternity. A lot of players backed Owens in this deal, and a lot of others wouldn't get in the middle of it. Going to the Eagles is bad mojo right now for any player. The agents have to be wary of going to a team that seems hell bent on making them look bad in the media. And neither the coach, the team, nor the destination are so exciting that a player feels like they have to go there to win a Superbowl or play with one of the truly great players.
To be fair, they weren't sitting on their hands. They thought [incorrectly] that they had the best offensive lineman available ready to sign in Bentley. It's perfectly natural [but still disappointing] that the Eagles would need to recalibrate for a day or two after finding out Bentley was using them as leverage for a deal with the team he really wanted to go to all along.
Horrendous. Didn't the Eagles draft him anyway?
That doesn't bother me...unless we give him a lot of $$$. Not every signing is going to be a difference maker. The Eagles don't need an impact WR to get back into title contention, they need to make sure both lines are solidified; something that wasn't the case last year.
