Espn seems to think the birds may trade for TJ Houshmandzadeh and that it would be a trade that could help both side,

Why it works for Cincinnati: Like Williams, Houshmandzadeh is a free agent after this season and re-signing him will prove very difficult. Who would want to stay in Cincinnati? The franchise tag is an option, but Cincinnati just used two high draft picks on this position and brought Chris Henry back to the team. A second-round pick could pry him away.

Why it works for Philadelphia: Although he isn't a home run threat, Houshmandzadeh is a very precise route runner with great hands who excels in moving the chains and scoring points in the red zone. That's something the Eagles could really use. Donovan McNabb really needs a primary target and the Eagles acquired extra picks in the 2009 draft during last year's draft. Don't count out Tennessee in this or any of the wide receiver possibilities either.

I dunno if I buy this but it could be interesting

I guess I just don’t think WR is a huge need right now.

neither do I… once brown and curtis are healthy, playing time will be hard to come by with our current roster… no need to do this.

i just kinda found it interesting cause i had not heard that rumour, which is why i said I don’t really buy that it would happen. I think TE would be the thing if anything we go after

i think i read that this morning… i thought it was in a section called “Trades That Won’t Happen, But Could” or something… also talked about dealing Chad Johnson (SF), Roy Williams (Dallas), Tony Gonzalez (Bills), and Larry Johnson (Jets)…

Yeah TE is what I want

I don’t think this is a need at all … but I wouldn’t mind it.

A WR

Anyone that thinke the Eagles don’t need a 1# Wr needs to look again. The 3 teams that these WR have beaten are the Cowboys, Rams and 49ers. Against the Bears, Redskins and Steelers they could not get open in man to man or single coverage. Hell Djack is our leading WR.

I would love to blow up Texas Stadium... With team still in it
