PrintAre the Eagles interested in DE Aaron Kampman? That depends on which media source you read....
Kampman in Jax, still in touch with Birds | Philadelphia Daily News | 03/06/2010
Free agent defensive end Aaron Kampman spent Saturday morning in Jacksonville, meeting with the Jaguars coaching staff, the Florida Times Union reported, citing league sources. The report also said his representative remain in contact with the Eagles, although it is unknown whether Kampman will visit Philly or his other suitors, or whether he will leave Jacksonville without a contract.
Peppers to Bears, Eagles Cautious About Kampman | CSNPhilly.com
Don’t expect the Eagles to sign Packers free-agent defensive end Aaron Kampman. And you can thank Stacy Andrews for that. A league source has told Gunn that the Eagles are hesitant to pursue Kampman because he is coming off knee surgery. Kampman suffered a torn ACL in Week 11 of last season against San Francisco.

The Eagles, according to an NFL source, did want Kampman to come in on Friday, but Cornrich wouldn't allow it to happen, possibly because the Eagles weren't willing to commit to any kind of financial offer. The Seahawks have slow-played Kampman, showing some interest, but not making any advanced attempts at bringing him in.
Reid: One more time - McNabb is Eagles' QB | Philadelphia Daily News | 03/06/2010
Eagles coach Andy Reid reiterated one more time last night that Donovan McNabb will be his quarterback this season.

Every time a team lands a wide receiver via trade, you know whose name will come up in Dallas. And the news of Cardinals wideout Anquan Boldin heading to the Ravens for third and fourth-round picks has to be particularly galling to Cowboys fans. Boldin has been an incredibly productive receiver in the league -- as evidenced by his five 1,000-yard seasons. The Cowboys' Roy Williams is still sitting on a single 1,000-yard season. And Dallas had to give up a first, third and sixth-round pick to land him during the '08 season.

"From the outside looking in, it surprises me. McNabb doesn’t get the respect he deserves sometimes because he’s been an incredible player for the Eagles and for the league for a lot of years," Marino said. "But I guess Philly has always been an organization that when guys get older they end up trying to replace them with younger guys. Their quarterback situation is good, I think. I mean, I don’t see it as a problem. But eventually you’ve got to have one guy. They’re in a good situation if they need to make moves. And I’m sure at some point there’s going to be a chance for the young guy to compete."

Kampman's agent just cancelled the trip to Philadelphia
"I just love the Jaguars. Thereeee great! Wow look at the Jaguars almost won the games to the Super Bowl XXXI!" - 2nd Grade Journal entry
Follow me on Twitter
They have since rescinded that post
with this one:
Report: Kampman’s agent did not cancel visit to Philadelphia
I wish I was joking.
If I have this correctly, the Eagles want Kampman to visit but aren’t committing to an offer, and the agent didn’t want to fly dude cross country from Seattle without a commitment.
Both sides seem justified … and this actually might bode well for us. If Jax and Sea are the only other players for Kampman, that leaves us as the only contender in the mix, which could mean we can still sign him next week if nobody else emerges and he’s really interested in going to a contender. All that, of course, pending a physical.
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
Former players always say the same things about McNabb and other players that haven’t won a Super Bowl. If they have a ring, they say they need a ring to “answer all the questions” and “secure their legacy”. If they don’t have a ring, they talk about how good the player is, how they’re underappreciated, and all that. I don’t know why you can’t be a good QB without a Super Bowl win.
The 2 weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, all we heard was about how Drew Brees needed to win one to secure his place as one of the best in the league and how Peyton Manning needed another one to “prove he’s the best”.
I am the people's troll :3™
caption below photo was telling...
Aaron Kampman: Relentless pass rusher who will upgrade the DL and provide a threat opposite Trent Cole or old, injured, and ineffective?
I don’t believe our disabled list needs upgrading. Having a relentless pass rusher that is on the DL, thereby upgrading it, is of no help. Is that a prophecy?
/s
my lord
at this point I think McNabb is just getting pity press. How many times are people going to say how great and under appreciated he is?
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
That’s why I always say that the most useless endorsements are those from former ball players. These guys say everyone in the best.
…unless your name is Jeff Garcia and you were asked about JaMarcus Russell.

at this point...
the eagles need to bring kampman in for a visit. overrated lineman are different than underrated defensive ends when it comes to injuries. i would like to see the eagles at least work him out.
"Work him out"
From the reports… it seems like the Eagles want to do that to, but Kampman’s agent doesn’t.
that's never a good sign...
i just hope that the eagles have a plan in place that allows us to make a run again. i’m not ready to rebuild yet.
McNabb
Change the QB or change the offensive scheme….how much more proof does the FO need that Eagles took a step back in the playoffs from the previous year?
Ok, now I really want to know what the FO's plan at DE is
I hope to God that we’re not relying on the draft. Andy hasn’t been too good at drafting the defensive side of the ball. I’ll give him Cole, Brown, and Bradley. For every one of those there were Laws, Bryan Smith, Andy Studebaker, Considine, etc.
Apparently his deal is similar to the one Kyle Vanden Bosch received from the Lions
Vanden Bosch got a 4-year, 26 mil deal
