He hasn’t done anything.
Jesus Christ
Who’s gonna play corner now? That need goes to the top of our list.
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

This is an awful value
We couldn’t even get a starter back?

Nothing like getting raked over the coals by your former GM/yes man.

whaaaat??
who the f… is alex hall???? i don´t like that trade at all! i just don´t know whats going on in the eagles FO this offseason!
i´m really pissed right now! i hope in the end this turns out to be a good trade for us!
Terrible
Instead of filling a need, the Eagles have created yet another one. They have made some all right moves thus far this off-season but this one is just head-scratching. Terrible terrible deal.
Proudly supporting a Flyers team with "no honor".
Cutting Curtis, Andrews, trading for Tapp, re-signing Avant and Weaver, etc. etc.
I am the people's troll :3™
Darrel Tapp (we don’t know much about him, but Seahawk fans were pissed as hell at that deal), Bobby April as a special teams coach, Dick Jauron as a secondary coach (that will help our young DBs immensely).
But unless the Eagles have a plan to steal a Top-10 pick in the draft (or somehow trade McNabb and picks for Asomugha and picks), this trade is mind-baffling.

Weaver, Avant extended
Andrews restructured, lots of dead weight cut

The only possible explanation
is that the Eagles want to wheel and deal on draft day.
I’m all for young players, but does this team not realize that veteran leadership is a good thing?

wow
Alex is a big dude!!!! thats all I know about him.lol
Height: 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) Weight: 250 lb (113 kg)
Tackles 17
Sacks 3
Interceptions 0
I expected a 3 and a 4 for this to make it work.
Or at least DQ.
I’m not unhappy, since brown was going next year anyway. My primary feeling is there’s another shoe dropping on this.
The eagles took whatever because they were clearly interested in picks to package, or they do have a plan for cb already.
The real question is… hobbs, hanson, harris, or marlin. Whose #2 corner and whose safety, provided we do not draft a start/drafted start is clearly someone on a short bus?

ehh
it pisses me off that they didnt get a 3rd .. but they got a high fourth and a ffth for sheldon .. thats not too bad i supose .. that 4th is still a good pick

Stupid trade. Why would they trade Sheldon Brown. He was playing his best football last year. In stead of rewarding him they get some bum and draft pics. Smh.

i guess...
it could be worse…but basically was swapped a shitty linebacker for a shitty linebacker….and then got a 4th and 5th for sheldon
We can’t get another sheldon with a 4th or 5th round pick
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
and you know this how?....can i borrow your crystal ball
we have a decent set of backups that can fill in for now…but this basically furthers the point that we are in fact rebuilding
I don’t want Hobbs as the starter. We had a top 5 corner duo, now we have the starting corners for the defense that blew that ’07 Superbowl. How is this good?

i hear ya on that one
But we have the following options…(and i know…they still dont make up for sheldon…he was my favorite player after dawk left)…..marlin jackson, ellis hobbs, macho harris….none of them are fit to start….but maybe a bit of time with jauron will help
yea
but we can get kyle wilson or patrick robinson with a high pick .. and then be set for next few years .. this team is young .. we need young players .. if we get a 2nd for mcnabb .. we will have a 1st two 2nds .. two thirds .. and two fourths .. thats a lot of young talent to add

Major "wtf?"
Gah…I don’t get it. Now, what do we do for corner?
The writing is on wall: Goodbye Donovan
But having said that… this is a terrible trade for Eagles.
Good trade for Cleveland. We got hosed.
Eagles now have 10 picks
1st Round (24th overall)
2 (55)
3 (70)
3 (87)
4 (105) – from CLE
4 (121)
5 (137) – from CLE
6 (200)
7 (243)
7 (244)
the rich are getting richer
lots of cap space so they better spread it around to desean, kevin or donovan, or something fucking cheap bastards. Total re-building i guess.

Does this mean
Asoumougha (sp) is on the way?

He'd better be

If this was the case
It would change my opinion completely.
Right now though we’re in bad, bad shape on defense. (in the secondary especially)
2
7th rounders competing for sam. The eagles really dont value their linebackers
"Bleed green for life my nocos"
Or they are
going to draft a first/3rd rounder to compete with them

Like I said
Hate to see Sheldon go, but understand. I still will root for him. I’m willing to see who Alex Hall is before I judge him. Wish we could have gotten a 3rd at least for him but all it could have been worse. I’m surprised we got anything for Gocong.
Thank you.
Another voice of moderation.

jauron must really love kyle wilson
if he is not taken before 24, i think its almost a lock at this point
