Eagles have the third most cap space in the NFL

…Joe Banner and Howie Roseman are hording it to build a compound in the Appalachian mountains for when the Apocalypse comes.

Here’s why I think the Eagles get Housh -

1) Andy Reid’s philosophy is you improve your team whenever possible. He knows that players like Houshmandzadeh never become free agents like this.
2) Housh turned in an impressive performance against us this year when we played the Bengals.
3) Just the fact that he seems to be a perfect fit for our system. He’s a sure-handed, possession guy who runs precise routes and gets first down. His presence on the field will make DeSean Jackson and Kevin Curtis ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to defend on every play. I can easily envision McNabb throwing for 4500 yards and 35 TDs if we got Housh and these guys stayed healthy.

At least that’s the way I see it. I dunno.

without lots of huge names on the market, i don’t think we can even reach that number, so i say spend away

It’s not like we can just go completely crazy in spending right? I understand that the CBA’s future is in doubt and we might have an uncapped year in 2010, but if/when that gets straightened out we’ve still got a lot of young players (especially on defense) to sign long-term if we want to keep this group in tact. Right?

Now, I don’t do a whole lot of baseball watching/paying attention to anymore, but I’m watching ESPN now to see if there’s anything going on, and across the bottom of the screen, I see “Manny Ramirez rejects 2 year $45 million offer from Dodgers”. What kind of ****ing jackass has the audacity to say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” to $45 million? REALLY? God I hate baseball.
