PrintRather than post every single rumor individually, I felt it would be a better idea to round this all up in one thread. So keep this post refreshed for everything. It would probably also be a good idea to follow me on twitter, as I'll have a lot of stuff there as well.
What we know so far...
The Eagles supposedly had a visit scheduled with Darren Sproles, but then he was tendered at the highest level.
Julius Peppers supposedly has a deal almost done with the Redskins. (Cough tampering cough)
Antonio Cromartie has been traded to the Jets for a 3rd round pick in 2011 that could rise to a 2nd rounder. That's quite a CB tandem they have there...
The Bears, Giants, Dolphins, & Cardinals are in talks with Antrel Rolle. Eagles don't appear interested.
The Eagles and Leonard Weaver agent had been working on a deal all day, but weren't able to get something done so he was tendered at a second round level. His agent still thinks a deal will be done by tomorrow.
A Bears beat writer is reporting that DE Aaron Kampman "may be heading to Philadelphia."
The Panthers have cut Jake Delhomme, but will have to pay him nearly $13 million to do so. However, just because they cut Delhomme, doesn't mean they have any interest in Michael Vick.
Matt Bowen of NFP says "League source says Seattle, Chicago and Detroit eyeing Kampman at this hour.... More teams are sure to come."
Geoff Mosher said just 2 minutes ago that Leonard Weaver's deal is "just about done."
[Note by JasonB, 03/04/10 12:00 PM EST ] Free Agency has begun!
Bears beat writers are reporting that Pepper's agent says he will visit Chicago tomorrow. Also reportedly headed to Chicago tommorow is RB Chester Taylor.
Adam Schefter is reporting that LB Karlos Dansby will visit Miami tomorrow
The NY Daily News cites a report that says Antrel Rolle will visit the Giants tomorrow and that the Giants could offer him $8 million per year.
Adam Caplan twitters that the Eagles are "poking around for veteran RB, source said"
Lions coach Jim Schwartz went to DE Kyle Vanden Bosch's house tonight in an attempt to get him to come to Detroit.
The Inquirer's Jeff McClane says to get some sleep..." Eagles fans get some rest, your team isn't going to have any free agent signings this early morning, according to a team source."
There is some Eagles related rumors though... National Football Post hears that the Washington Redskins, Jacksonville Jaguars and the Denver Broncos are all interested in Jason Babin.
Washington Post Skins reporter confirms "League source confirms that Redskins are in discussions for Eagles DE Jason Babin"

Good idea, Jason
I was having second thoughts about flooding the home page with rumors and updates haha
Kampman is cool with me if we have no shot at Peppers
and since Rolle looks to be off the table, I’m hoping to go after Atogwe.
Maybe Kirk Morrison (fingers crossed?)

I don’t have a problem with Kampman, but I wonder what else you do with the position in that case. He’s older and coming off an ACL tear, so you really have no idea what he can give you. Maybe double digit sacks. Maybe nothing. Do you still draft a DE high? Interesting to think about. Of course, we could skip the discussion by just getting Peppers…
Pass on Morrison. We can get a good linebacker for cheaper with the same pick.
I am the people's troll :3™
The hell with that
Morrison is a monster. A third round pick for Morrison is an absolute robbery. He is proven, he is young, and he is productive. Stew is coming back from a major injury and the smartest move would be to surround him with talent to take pressure off him.
Yea….ok.
Bye 36, you will be missed...

Kampman scares me
But we can take a chance I guess since the Redskins tampered with Peppers and apparently have a contract for him.
I’m hoping for Atogwe but it depends if we get a little insight with our old friend Spags.
For some reason, I don’t think we’ll make the slightest move for Morrison.
I hear Goodell gets 10% of each contract they are accused of "tampering"...
something about sweeping things under the rug??? IDK exactly I read it… in a book.
But what I do know is Goodell is a whore.

was it ever reported that it was Kampmans ACL I just remember hearing knee injury.

Wasnt it just a partially torn ACL???
because if it was a partial that makes a big big big difference.

Don't understand the Kampman love
I guess it depends on what his cost will be but he strikes me as a guy who is more likely to give you alot less than you expect next year (maybe even nothing) vs. a guy who is going to give you a legitimate pass-rushing threat opposite Cole.
Yeah, but if you can’t get Peppers, there really isn’t anybody else in free agency who can make a difference.
agreed
I wouldn’t say i ‘love’ Kampman, but if he’s the best out there after Peppers, it’s worth a shot.

Then you draft a DE
Hope that he turns out to be somebody that plays adequately next year (it is really tough for rookie DEs to have an impact) and grows over the next 2-3 years into a solid position. Wish the Eagles would have made up their minds about the QB position because it is likely hampering some of their potential moves in FA and considerations about the draft.
the thing is the Eagles want to win NOW thats why they are keeping Mcnabb
eff you we winning anyway
A.I. IS BACKKKKKKK
no they keep mcnabb because his
dirtballs are astetically pleasing.

It’s not as though they’ve already signed them. ProFootballTalk has been plenty wrong before.
I am the people's troll :3™
but it makes sense as to why they would cut 10 guys to make room for him

It doesn’t make sense at all. The Redskins haven’t gone through this type of roster overhaul in a while. New GM, new head coach… and they sign someone to a gigantic contract limiting their ability to fix their real holes? Doesn’t seem right.
I am the people's troll :3™
True
and they have Haynesworths huge contract

WTF
FA just started and the Eagles made plenty of moves last offseason that paid immediate dividends including signing Weaver and the Peters trade. You might be able to make this statement in another month or so but just a bit over reactionary.
but we had the best offseason of anyone in the division imo
so i wouldn’t panic that much

Obviously...other teams can't sign there own either...
…or else there really wouldn’t be any need for free agency…
Yeay! I'm totally pulling an all-nighter for an exam tomorrow morning.
I’m so glad that the beginning of NFL FA coincides, since I have something to procrastinate with!

"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
No he won't
That is contrary to everything that is being reported and a big reason why the Packers won’t bring him back even though he has been a key contributor to their defense the past 4 years.
I’d like to bring Derrik Burgess back. He still has something left in the tank. He played good at the end of last year after finally getting into the Pat’s system. I think this is the way to go, then draft a DE.
eat my own words.
Eagles and Leonard Weaver are closing in on deal, source said. Source adds strong optimism that deal could get done within 24 hours.-adam caplan
Eagles biggest weakness
Has not been making up their minds about the QB position. It is likely hampering some potential moves they make because of the considerable money they have allocated to the QB position if they keep McNabb/Kolb/Vick next season and the lack of certainty about what draft picks they would have if they moved one of these guys already.
Also doesn’t seem like the Eagles have made up their mind if they should try to take a gamble on a FA like Peppers in an attempt to make one last run with McNabb or really continue the youth-building process either.
Yeah, because the last time we went into the season with one decent QB worked out SO well.
I am the people's troll :3™
Opportunity cost
What if that likely prevents the Eagles though from making moves that clearly address some of the numerous weaknesses on the team.
What if
Who gives a crap about what ifs. QBs are valuable. You don’t trade your strengths for weaknesses when it turns a strength into a weakness. I’m not OK with going into the season with McNabb and Vick or Kolb and Vick. And if you’re suggesting Vick should be a starter I’m not even going to bother responding to that.
I am the people's troll :3™
Confusing
So you are okay going into the season with McNabb/Kolb but you are apparently arguing that they should trade Vick at some point? When exactly should they do this then?
ASAP before teams figure out the personnel they want to go into the season with. Vick is a QB you build an offense around. You don’t just plug him into any old offense. If we can’t trade him pre-draft, or at least during the draft, we’ll have to wait for someone to lose a starting QB.
I am the people's troll :3™
Calcuated risk
Because if the Eagles keep Vick on the roster through the spring he is due a huge roster bonus that will likely impact some of what they do this offseason. That was my point but I understand what you are saying. Vick’s trade value would be greatly enhanced (maybe even a 2nd rounder) if a team would be in a desperate position to need a starting QB due to injury.
Man
Cromartie + Revis. Formidable combo. Arguably the best?

Chris Johnson & Nnamdi Asomugha
mainly because of Nnamdi Asomugha but Johnson isn’t that bad
They call me The Professor.
Really you’d put woodson + harris at 1?
reasoning?
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
Woodson: 51% completion, 5 TD, 9 INT, 51.8 QB rating
Harris(before injury): 48.9% completion, 2 TD, 2 INT, 70 QB rating
Bye 36, you will be missed...
I see.
I disagree, however. My reasoning…
I’ve mentioned it before Stats are great measuring sticks but also very illusory. For example, Nnamdi Asomugha, regarded as one of the top shut-down DBs in the league, does not attain the best stats. A guy could accumulate the many ints but also give up the most tds or catches.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
No...
THOSE are the stats that DO tell the full story. They are not like INTs and Pass deflections.
Nnamdi does acquire one of the best stats that tell he is shutdown…
Guess how many completions he gave up all year in 980 snaps?
Answer – 21
Woodson gave up 39 and Revis gave up 41. Overall last year, Revis had the best stats of ANY CB, and was hands down the best.
Bye 36, you will be missed...
I don’t think we’re even going to be on the discussion with Peppers. Peppers is THE guy this year. He’s going to get paid. I just don’t seeing the Eagles picking up THE premier contract. It doesn’t fit their MO.
Yeah because they didn’t go out and sign Runyan, Kearse, and Samuel when they were the big free agents available?
As for Peppers if he does sign with the Redskins then it seems like he was all about the money and not winning like he said so I guess we couldn’t control that.
Get so tired of hearing this tired and bogus argument that the Eagles aren’t willing to pay premier FA when that has been exactly the opposite of what has happened under Reid.
There are plenty of things you can harp on Reid and Banner about but their willingness to make a big move in the offseason or sign one of the premier FAs isn’t one of them.
They aren’t going to get into a bidding war with a risky free agent that’s going to have a record breaking contract. Is that specific enough for you to not bitch at me about?
I am the people's troll :3™
Fine
They aren’t willing to apparently go all out for Peppers even though if you have no idea if that is the case right now and if there are other factors playing into that decision besides the high price tag.
Uh, yeah, there are other factors. How about the fact that everyone and their mother knows that Peppers doesn’t play hard every play? And he’s 30? That’s someone I wanna give $50M+! That’s not the kind of guy I see Andy Reid waving $Texas at.
I am the people's troll :3™
They aren’t going to get into a bidding war with a risky free agent that’s going to have a record breaking contract.
I am the people's troll :3™
One isolated case
Is in contrast to what the Eagles generally have done the past 10 years. You really almost have to go back to the Braman days when it was very fair and accurate to say the Eagles’ FO/ownership were cheap bastards in FA who let plenty of productive players leave town because they didn’t want to pay them.
I never said they were cheap bastards. Quit making shit up. Jesus Christ. Quit reading what you want to read and read the words I actually wrote.
I am the people's troll :3™
I just don’t seeing the Eagles picking up THE premier contract. It doesn’t fit their MO.
What does this imply then and what should a person taking away reading this?
They don’t get the guy with an exorbitant, record breaking contract at 30 years old.
I am the people's troll :3™
Fine. One example but the Eagles have been willing to give out premier contracts and it does fit their MO. You have point to at least 5-6 examples during Reid’s tenure and the Eagles have made some very ‘premier signings’ in FA generally since Lurie acquired the team.
If you have added that at the end of the sentence
“I just don’t seeing the Eagles picking up THE premier contract.”
because he is 30 years old and questionable motivation then I wouldn’t have posted anything.
OK well if you would’ve read my first reply you shouldn’t have said anything else.
I am the people's troll :3™
Read your original post and the comment about “just not their MO.” That’s BS because they have been willing to hand out large contracts to FAs or trade/sign a ‘premier’ player and there are more than 1-2 examples of that during Reid’s tenure.
I meant a gigantoid record-breaking contract in a bidding war with tons of teams. Sorry it took you this fucking long to understand. Next time I’ll be sure to spell everything out nice, clear, and impossible to misinterpret.
I am the people's troll :3™
Your right because there were hardly any teams competing for Runyan, Kearse, or Samuels and none of those contracts were among records at the time for their respective positions. Thanks for clearing that up and doing such a quality job.
No problems, douche bag! I don’t mind at all having to defend comments I make to people who can’t read shit I said 40 minutes ago!

“I don’t think we’re even going to be on the discussion with Peppers. Peppers is THE guy this year. He’s going to get paid. I just don’t seeing the Eagles picking up THE premier contract. It doesn’t fit their MO.”
That is what you originally posted and what Legend commented on especially the comment about “it doesn’t fit their MO.” A$$.
Yeah, and then I clarified, and then you made me spell it out to the letter for 40 minutes. I’m done with you. You’re a moron, and you can’t read.
I am the people's troll :3™
Ugh
“Next time I’ll be sure to spell everything out nice, clear, and impossible to misinterpret.”
That would be nice. Thanks.
Oh, wow. It looks like FOUR SECONDS into free agency, the numbers coming out of Peppers mouth got too high and the Eagles dropped out. I was SO WAY OFF BASE WITH MY PREDICTION.
I am the people's troll :3™
Your original statment
Was BS about “not their MO” about signing premier FAs. You clarified it a bit later in this case with the vague “risk free agent.”
Reports are all pure speculation at this point with nothing permanent. I would be really surprised too if Peppers signs here too but it isn’t an incredibly long-shot either. Say 20-25% which is pretty unlikely but not impossible.
I want him, if only because then my friend owes me dinner. Fuck Chicago peppers. Come to Philly. Where the amount of love we lavish can not be found anywhere else. (hate too, but only if you deserve it)

Hey guys, also
I don’t know if this was brought up but… Lito Shepard was released by the Jets. Any thoughts? Personally, don’t think it’s worth it aside from him knowing our defense.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
He needs a job? Like I said, not like I really want him back. But, we did reach a point where injuries to our cb core was noticeable.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
True.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
He's done
He will be invited to someone’s camp next year and might latch on as a nickel/dime back somewhere but he didn’t play well in NY this year.
Yep. He fell real hard. I think it attests to the strength of the Eagles defensive game plan that made Lito what he was.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
Schefter says the rumors about the Skins and Peppers are inflated. Says he’s not hearing this at all.
If the Skins sign him
Will anything happen to them? Isn’t that blatant tampering?

"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
He’s 35. I’m sure there’s a backup spot for him somewhere if he’s willing to take the demotion and pay cut.
That was a big mistake
Delhomme’s recent contract has to rank among the worst in recent NFL history. Curious to see if Moore can play anywhere near as well over the course of a full season as he did in a few relatively meaningless games at the end of the season.
Morrison, Peppers, Otagwe
Lets get it done. Especially Morrison and Otagwe. Their teams are incredibly stupid.
RIP Jim Johnson. You will truly be missed.
On Ellis Hobbs
So to tender Hobbs at a second round level, the Eagles would have had to pay him 110% of his salary from last year. That number ended up being more than the number for the first round tender. That’s why he got the higher tender.
yeah, he messed up his shoulder.
thats Cobb on Kolb crime if you ask me... as said by yophillybro
"I'm trading Kolb to Buffalo for Cribbs"- the brilliant Trade Kolb
Wonder
How many teams are going to be willing to give up a mid-round pick this year (3rd rounder) to sign some of the interesting 4th/5th year FA out there. Most interesting FA offseason in quite a while because of the crazy dynamics.
we have a few 3rds so I wouldnt be angry if we got someone tendered on the 3rd round level.

saying a LDE had better stats because of the RDE makes sense but saying a FS had better stats because of a SS doesn’t hold water. He also had DRC at CB … the guy can flat out play football.
They call me The Professor.
Stats have its + and -
Outside stats, there was a visible drop off in performance.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
there was a visible drop off in his play I agree but that has nothing to do with the other guys on the field.
They call me The Professor.
hmm yes and no? I think he was respected more as a result of Dawkins lurking (yes lurking) on the field. I mean I’m not saying Mikkel was awful last year but he played a lot better with Dawkins as opposed to whatever the hell we threw in the FS spot last year.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
Q plays mainly in run support what kind of respect is there?
The main reason there was a visible drop off in his play is because people are expecting more from him. Before he was an Undrafted FA and it was a success story.
I’m sorry but there is no way you will ever convince me that a FS and a SS are directly correlated in there play … case in point Sean Considine.
They call me The Professor.
Well like I said yes and no. Team sports rely on the strengths and weaknesses of players, right? I’m not saying there is a direct correlation or a cause and effect but a weaknesses in any area always effects other areas. I agree with you though, there was more expectation from Q so that’s probably why it seemed the way it did.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
Tackles are a really bad stat to judge a safety on. I do feel like Mikell had to play outside his “comfort zone” to cover the weaknesses elsewhere in the defense (specifically coverage from FS and LBs). I can’t prove that, of course, and it might not be true, but I do think the players around you have an effect regardless of position.
I just have a feeling
That none of the marquee UFA are coming here.
No support. Just a gut thing.

Packers LB Aaron Kampman Ahead Of Schedule From Knee Injury
Aaron Kampman isn’t getting nearly as much interest as Julius Peppers. He’s recovering from a knee injury, and he only managed 3.5 sacks in 2009 but that’s largely because he played outside linebacker in Green Bay’s new 3-4. A league source told Sean Jensen of The Chicago Sun-Times that Kampman’s left knee is ahead of schedule.
Let’s see, who would really want it to get around that Aaron Kampman’s knee is doing great? Hmm…..
Nah.
That sounds like something his grandma would write.

I just got this feeling that this off season is going to be uneventful and suck
Please Eagles prove me wrong. The offseason is sooooooo long with out any cool signings
Let's get it Birds.
Just looked at the PE chat…Spuds said no one is in the offices and he expects no action at all tonight.
maybe that’s what he WANTS us to think!!
or maybe we suck as an organization..
http://www.libertyballers.com/
But that doesn’t jibe at all with the Weaver story we’ve been getting all night. So, I’d be tempted to say he’s broadcasting untruth (perhaps to avoid the kind of meltdown he underwent the year of the Randel-El free agency.)
enlighten me, what are you talking about?

In which sense? The Weaver deal is apparently in progress (scroll up for details). As for the meltdown, it was epic. Spuds was taking calls on the first day of FA, and flipping out on air (and at callers) as different players signed. The last straw was when Randel El signed with Washington. Total loss of composure and professionally “detached” face.
I am visiting the Bears tomorrow.
Anyone else in?

Three different sources reporting Kyle Vanden Bosch to visit Philly on Friday. Thursday March 4, 2010 12:22 E-A-G-L-E-S
Just saw this at PE
Now, see, that makes sense. I can see Det overpaying an older player on the downside as a desperate measure. I don’t see the Eagles doing that though.
Lions coach used to be the D-coordinator in Tennessee. They wouldn’t need to overpay, and he would know how to get the most out of vanbdednoschonbon.

If there was anyway to get Peppers at a great bargain, I would want him, but like mentioned above, some teams are going to shoot their wad and Peppers is going to swallow it whole.
He will underperform for what he gets. Guaranteed.

Does anyone really buy the hype that the Redskins were serious about Peppers? I don’t think they were.

too hard to figure out what the redskins are thinking. why did they cut 20% of their team in one day?
They didn’t need to cut those guys to sign Peppers. They cut those guys because the cap is gone and they can.

maybe someone will take hobbs and give us their first. I know he’s a good returner, but that’d be a great day.
No one would give a first for him. If someone would offer a low second or a high third, I could definitely see the Eagles considering it.

It’d be a great day if Megan Fox and Scarlett Johansson showed up at my door and wanted a three-way. I’m not banking on it happening, though.

I apologize if you read it as thought I thought it was an actual possibility. I realize it’s not happening. It was said in jest. good luck on your three-way, though…that sounds more likely than someone signing away Hobbs.

I would be shocked if the Eagles made a big name FA signing at this point. They don’t seem interested at spending big money at all. I guess they are going all in at the draft. A good idea since it looks to be a bunch of overpaid signings coming up.
Bye 36, you will be missed...
it wouldn’t surprise me if their strategy for RFA was to try to collect as many picks as possible rather than go after the top FAs. They love draft picks, and if they can get another couple draft picks, it’d be good to have more ammo to move around with.
Yea
I mean its no secrete that they need Defensive help!!! And this is the DEEPEST defensive draft in years. So..i would love for us to get as many draft pick as possible to be able to use to add as much defensive, as well as some other positions, help as possible. Maximize are chances of drafting some players the might actually pan out!

Philly is Peppers’ fallback
Posted by Mike Florio on March 5, 2010 1:28 AM ET
Agent Carl Carey says that inking defensive end Julius Peppers is Chicago’s “deal to lose.”
So what if they lose?
Carey told Steve Reed of the Gaston Gazette that, if things don’t work out in Chicago, Peppers will visit with the Eagles.
It’s looking less likely by the minute that Peppers will leave Chicago as anything but a member of the Bears. Carey told Reed that the Bears have “extended an impressive contract offer.”
“Chicago will be our first visit and we don’t want them looking over their shoulder worrying about other teams right now,” Carey said. “They were the first to call and they’ve made us a ballpark offer and it’s good enough to where we’ll make a visit. Pending the outcome of that visit we may visit with Philadelphia and see where we are from there.”
So he doesn’t want the Bears to look over their shoulders but there the Eagles are, over the Bears’ shoulders.

Oh shit! Let me get the coffee! lol
Bye 36, you will be missed...
Lol, I think the Bears are going to land him.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
Seems likely
and I didn’t lose sleep over it… no need to, he’s heading to chi-town for a work out. Not like he was gonna catch a 2AM flight to Chicago, work out and have a deal done or lost before morning.
The offer is good enough that they’re not even talking to any other teams the moment… only shot we have is if the Bears completely mess up… if that happens or not we won’t know until tomorrow afternoon/evening.
How-wha?
… Just noticed Route36 quoted the future. Mike Florio’s post was 1:30AM this morning and Route’s was 10:30PM yesterday. wwwwha?
I'm not sure...
Jim Schwartz showed up at Vandenbosch’s house after midnight, so I won’t be surprised if players are flying to meet teams this late in the hour.
Bye 36, you will be missed...
ah i just dont wanna see us waste our time on pep and not get him while other people get signed like van den bosch and kampman
Don’t want neither of those two other guys. I would rather draft a DE high than sign Vandenbosch or Kampman.
Bye 36, you will be missed...
Depends
I wouldn’t mind seeing the Eagles draft a DE end either in the 1st round especially if it is someone they think they can build around for the next 4-5 years. I just wonder if Eagles aren’t going to dip into the FA DE market too though because they are going to lose Babin and potentially cut Howard/Clemons too.
....according to rotoworld
The player rep for free agent Julius Peppers insists that the Eagles remain “very interested” in his client, despite reports otherwise.

I don’t even understand why any1 is interested in an overrated bum like Vanden Bust. You could get more production from a scarecrow…
Money up front
If he has a reasonable signing bonus figure, he will have his share of suitors. What makes it so hard to speculate on is that almost all of the rumors don’t give you a breakout of what is guaranteed/not guaranteed. They just give a generic large number.

Filed to ESPN: Lions wasted no time getting on the board. Free-agent WR Nate Burleson reached agreement with Detroit on a five-year deal.
R.I.P Jim Johnson 1941-2009
we will miss you Jim Johnson, thank you for everything you done to the eagles defense making them the best of the best, RIP JJ...
Ford only needs to make another half-dozen moves
And the Lions could be back to respectability. Almost figure that they had to overpay Burleson (and everyone who come there) because of the current state of the franchise and the current state of Detroit which lives up to its billing as the worst major city in America right now.
I think Burleson had been quietly productive most of the time. Playing opposite Calvin Johnson, he could be a pleasant surprise for the Lions. They’ve been improving their offense the last few years and could really move up to a respectable team next year.
Let’s see…
Stafford, Kevin Smith, Calvin Johnson, Nate Burleson, Pettigrew… if they improve their offensive line through the draft, they could be onto something.
They traded for Corey Williams today, too. If he goes back to his 2008 form, he could really shore up their defensive line. With the likely addition of Vanden Bosch, too, they could be onto something. They have decent linebackers. Their secondary isn’t amazing but with improvements up front and Jim Schwartz continuing to reinvent the defense, they might not be half bad.
I am the people's troll :3™
Need to improve that offensive line because it seemed like Stafford took a beating most weeks last year and that defense needs alot more than even Williams and Vanden Bosch to be respectable.
If they are even a .500 team in 2 years, Schwartz will get credit for leading a big turnaround and rightly so. Lions haven’t been a respectable team since Sanders was juking guys on the field and Fontes was bundling up like an eskimo for games at Lambeau ~15 years ago.
if things don’t work out in chicago, peppers is headed to philly. matt mosely over at espn just put it up. that was from peppers agent’s mouth
the thing is however that they offered a very appealing deal
"If I can get you to think twice, I'm in your head."

They’re not leaving Chicago. They’re trying to squeeze everything they can out of da Bears.

When did the Bears start managing their team like franchise mode in Madden?
Seriously, they trade away 2 1sts and a second last year, and then this year they’re going to try and spend $100M on free agents. When has that EVER worked?
I am the people's troll :3™
Just waking up...
What the eff?!? We have nothing lined up.
by JimmyK on Mar 5, 2010 5:58 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Nobody does.
Outside of the really desperate teams, i.e. Lions, Bears, Redskins, you are not seeing teams eating up free agents like chunks of cereal. I think teams might be afraid of potential future cap implications of signing a player to a lot of money in an uncapped year and then encountering a new CBA agreement in 2011.
Plus, the last eight teams in the playoffs can’t sign anyone until their top FA is off the board. So the FA period is moving very slowly. Other than Peppers, don’t expect signings to be snap snap snap snap gone gone gone gone. Players will probably be visiting multiple teams. Some players might not get a contract because the team doesn’t even think they’re worth it.
I mean the only FA to sign so far is NATE BURLESON. What does that tell you about this FA market?
That Detriot really really likes Burleson??
And btw.. I’m a Seattle native, home team let go of weaver last year to us (yay!), they just lost their top wr (branch has barely done anything), and their oline (now without walter jones) isn’t getting any better than last year. Sheesh, I highly doubt carroll can do anything with the mess ruskell made.
I’m still going to patiently wait and pray that our FO does something to fill in some of the holes on our team.

Lots of players visiting teams...
And to my knowledge, none are in route to Philly. There are players out there that can help this team. Disappointing start so far.
by JimmyK on Mar 5, 2010 7:51 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Yeah lots of high profile players like Kassim Osgood.
The visits for most players haven’t been announced yet, some don’t even get announced until a signing is made. Rolle was in Miami last night, he’s in NY today, so players don’t always automatically sign with the first team who throws a dotted line at them. The players the Eagles fans want are Peppers and Rolle. Well, it appears that both players have been tampered with by the Bears and the Dolphins, so I don’t know what the fans are upset about. Upset that we didn’t try to cheat the system and possibly lose draft picks? Or that maybe the Eagles didn’t want to pay a defensive end more annual money than Peyton Manning currently makes?
There will be players that can help this team three weeks from now. I don’t know that any player other than Peppers is worth getting into a bidding war over. If the Eagles make some signings, great. But I don’t want them to make some reflexive kneejerk decision that we’ll regret. Stacy Andrews anyone?? This is a FA market that has one player in the ‘elite’ tier, and then a massive dropoff, to a bunch of people in the ‘decent’ tier.
I’ll be interested to see what the Eagles do in terms of a RB, since they are rumored to be asking around. I wouldn’t be surprised if they went outside of free agency to bring someone in. A lot of people want Thomas Jones, Thomas Jones was unhappy about his contract, we’ll see if he prices himself out of most team’s wallets. There are some RFAs and some players under contract that I do believe will be available and the Eagles have some pretty expendable picks this year and next.
I’ll wait and see what happens. I won’t make a judgement until after the third day of the draft when we have a pretty definitive idea of what our roster will be.
I think you’re making fun of Kassim Osgood, but he’s an elite football player… probably the best special teamer in the league. He and Mike Scifres had as much to do with SD’s win over Dallas this past year as anyone on that team.
Anyway, I know that’s not your point. All I’m saying is that I’m disappointed so far. A few of the top guys on my wish list that can really help the Eagles are flirting with other teams. Is it fair to evaluate the Eagles’ offseason after the draft is done in a month? Absolutely. But after the first 9 hours, not so good. When I watch a football game and the opposing team scores on their opening drive, I’m well aware that a lot can happen during the course of the rest of the game, but after that opening score, I’m still going to say “Shit!”
Me too, I’m going to say “Shit! Asante made a really nice juke on his way to the endzone.” :)
My wish list is pretty implausible so I have really no expectations. I want the Eagles to address RB, FS, DE, and OLB. I’d like them to trade up in the draft. But ultimately they have a large window to address those areas. Only one team made a signing last night, so I imagine fans of those 31 other teams are all grumbling right now that not much has happened.
The only thing I don’t want is for the Eagles to overpay for mediocrity. It happens so often in the league, and it’s so easy to make the mistake of “We need to fill this hole, and TECHNICALLY this player can fit this hole, even though it’s not a completely round peg, so let’s just wedge it in there.”
Oh I wasn’t trying to lay into Burleson, because I feel like his numbers would have been better if Seattle’s oline had not fallen completely apart, practically at the start of the season. I’m just saying that Burleson is not considered the top WR on the market, he’s not considered a big time player, and the FA market is full of players like Burleson, who are generally considered complementary. There’s Peppers, and there’s everyone else, and I don’t know that teams want to pay these players the kind of money that past FA classes demanded.
If Seattle doesn’t make moves, I don’t know that they have any excuse. They have the money, and they have talent. They SHOULD spend. They can get a lot better in a hurry if they fix their offensive line and make some small additions here and there. Obviously the draft is a big deal for them.
Looks like Dunta
is going to Atlanta. Good. Not sure if we play them, but if we do, Jackson can run double moves all day on him.

REPORT: Report: Reid is about the only one who wants to keep McNabb
There are many interested teams out there, but right now the Eagles are not accepting any offers yet.
Sources tell Fox 29’s sports department that the Rams are not one of those teams, contrary to some reports.
But we’re also being told that trading McNabb is not going to be easy because internally the Eagles’ brass wants to move him but Andy Reid does not.
Reply button is not working but this addressed to "Interesting Article"
Like I said for the last month and a half. McNabb is Reids boy. McNabb is Reid’s legacy. If Reid doesn’t want McNabb gone, he’s not going anywhere, and Reid doesn’t want McNabb gone. Good, so we know what we are getting at QB next year. Now let’s address that O line and Defense and make the push we should have last year.
