I hate that we make a new thread every time the Eagles make a move. So lets discuss it all in here instead.

Its a scary move, but I hope to hell we know who we are getting with the extra $5 Mill, not just hoping that we need to use it later. Would suck if we drop him and then dont get any big name recievers to bite with the extra money.

Yeah.. wtf? That was unexpected...

I think it was a good move...he wasn't worth the 5 million. Plus JJ is the defensive coordinator, he could put anyone in this defense and make them look good. Bradley and gaither both looked good at the end of the year. I agree though that 5 million better go somewhere good. You never know they could have a plan for that money that we don't know of yet. I'm hopeful for this season like all seasons.

GO BIRDS!!!!!

Wow, i had no clue this was even an option. I liked Takeo but the eagles are usually pretty good when letting go of veterans, so i have faith that this was a good move.

why is this a surprise...this was talked about right after the season ended

Huh, must have missed that?

I'd like to see what we can come up with with the extra money, this is certainly going to be a very very interesting off seasons for sure.

The Captain · 03-06-2008, 06:02 PM

Once the season ends, i go into Eagles hibernation. I don't keep up with what's going on unless it's a big trade/release.

ozthunder · 03-06-2008, 06:09 PM

He wouldn't take a pay cut, and the Eagles do not value a backup at 5 mill a year. Let's face it, he was adequate at best, and Gaither plays the position better.

The linebackers will be Gocong, Bradley, and Gaither.

Pig STi · 03-06-2008, 08:03 PM

goooo get Fitz now pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

doug · 03-07-2008, 01:16 AM

well I at least hope they spend the 5 mil wisely they freed up.

GsrSiHatchie · 03-08-2008, 04:06 PM

it is looking grim towards getting fitz and bradley is going to be a monster

The Captain · 03-08-2008, 04:22 PM

does anyone think we have a chance at ocho cinco? who do we go after if fitz doesn't work out?

whitezenki · 03-11-2008, 05:16 PM

Good Bye Fitz.

Woohoo... Looking worse and worse everyday.

The Captain · 03-11-2008, 05:28 PM

Ouch...bad news. On a side note, do we look for another running back? Don't get me wrong, Westbrook is by far my favorite player on the team (even if he is from Villanova), but we are screwed x10 if he ever gets an injury. It just scares me having one true option at that position.

jcrsrt4 · 03-11-2008, 05:31 PM

the other running back is tony hunt

The Captain · 03-11-2008, 05:31 PM
