Stacy Andrews Trade Comes Too Late, Eagles Have To Cut Max Jean-Gilles

PrintThe Eagles announced that the Stacy Andrews trade was not completed by the 6pm deadline, so to get the roster down to 53 man they were forced to cut Max Jean-Gilles. They will re-sign Max Jean tomorrow.
They also announced that Tracy White was not cut, he was traded to the New England Patriots for a 2012 pick.
[Update by JasonB, 09/04/10 7:00 PM EDT ] The Eagles are holding a conference call right now. I'll update any breaking or relevant news here.
Howie Roseman said that Stacy Andrews preferred to play tackle and he hopes he gets that chance in Seattle. Roseman was asked whether Andrews was promised a chance to start. Roseman said he was given the chance to start this preseason. Also said that they received a 7th round pick in 2011 for him.
As of now, Nick Cole is the projected starter at RG for week one.
Since Max Jean-Gilles is a veteran, he does not have to clear waivers and is a free agent. He's free to sign with any team, but the Eagles hope to have him back.

Woo hoooo. Wow, very nice, Roseman.
Seriously
He was a free agent at the start of camp. Even if it’s nor more than a 7th, it’s nice to get something for nothing.

I just have to LOL
at them. Way to use all those draft picks to get some Oline help & whiff on most of the LB/DE tweeners
Yeah I’m wondering if there was a type in there or something? Made no sense.

its just the past few years they been basically swinging and missing on DEs LBs and Oline help. Considering Reid is a big fan of the Oline & Juan is supposed to be this Oline guru…they sure suck ass at finding good Oline players. Now with this trade, Cole is starting RG and IMHO..he is just a guy. Shouldnt be starting at all but…with the crap they have at Oline..blah
Could care less about Barnes…they will probably play him at DE with the other immense amount of DEs already on the team.
You trade up for a DE in the 1st, you draft a DE in the 3rd, you trade for a DE, then you draft like 3 to 4 more DE/LB tweeners & are trade for another DE/LB tweener…all the while this offensive line was wet paper prior to the draft.
Since Max Jean-Gilles is a veteran, he does not have to clear waivers and is a free agent. He’s free to sign with any team, but the Eagles hope to have him back.
And I guess that answers who the 53rd guy is.
well if he signs with another team, then wth are they going to do? Not like he is great or anything but that would put a nice hole in depth.
lmao
sure normally you would but christ, their Oline depth was bad before all of this happened lol
geez man, this guys a fucking misery

I will dance in the streets...
That fat slob has no business being on this team. Somewhere, alone, he is losing a fight with Ho-Ho’s & Ding Dongs…

Well they traded for Reggie Wells. Still have Cole & McGlynn that could play guard. That’s three guys and only one needs to start.
So they have 4 backups for 5 spots on the O-line IF Max were to sing somewhere tonight.

Starting line is:
Peters Herremans Jackson Wells Justice
depth is….McGlynn Cole & MJG ( when he signs back )…..yea thats not very good depth talent wise…..so what about tackle depth? Dunlap?? lol
Austin Howard had a very strong camp/preseason. He made the team as backup LT.
Who has any depth at OL in the NFL?
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook
Howard was up/down but he was certainly better than Dunlap. In a pinch, the Eagles can slide out Herremans to replace Peters. There is no viable contingency plan if Justice goes down. Ditto on if Jackson doesn’t come back and play well.
If Jackson and Herremans were completely healthy, I wouldn’t be that down on this line. In fact, they played fairly effectively last year and found their stride towards the later third of the season with a group of Peters-Herremans-Jackson-Cole-Justice.
If everything (and I mean everything) breaks their way, it will be a decent line. Odds of that are slim to none though.
Wells is a decent backup at G and my bet is that he displaces Cole at RG before long but a reserve group of Howard, MJG, Dunlap, McGlynn, and Cole is below average as a whole. The only guy who want seeing any kind of appreciable time in there is Cole. MJG is a stiff. Ditto on Dunlap. As for McGlynn, he didn’t show much in camp this year. My bet is that this is his 4th and last year in an Eagles’ uniform.
Reid went heavy on defense in the draft because it needed nearly a complete overhaul. 5 new starters (if you count Jordan) and alot of new faces. Meant though they couldn’’t address every area.
OL thin is just fairly thin and I hope that the scheduled starters on this line can play 16 G or the offense is going to take a notable hit.
well considering
Why not :D
Seriously thought it would be nice if the depth were actually decent prospects…players that have good potential…not 7th round / UDFA type players
Wells will take over the spot once he knows the system.
Yeah. Reid and the Eagles have done a pretty horrible job of drafting after the 2nd round the past couple of years and this is one area where it is showing up.
Here are the OL they drafted in the past 3 years who didn’t make this 53-man roster:
2009 – Topou (T), Fanaika (G)
2008 – Gibson (G) (McGlynn and Dunlap did)
2007 – None
2006 – None (MJG made the team)
They have drafted 6 OL in later rounds the past 4 years and I wouldn’t say one of them they really hit on as a competent backup or starter. 3 of them aren’t here and the other 3 aren’t what I would define as a quality backup although maybe McGlynn shows something this year.
You point has some very legit reasoning behind it.
Andrews traded for a 2011 7th
Spadaro Reported it. He also says the starting OLINE is
Peters, Herremans, Jackson, Wells, and Justice.
I still can’t believe that Jackson is going to be game healthy. Same with Herremans, I am trying to figure the over under on which week 1 of these guys gets hurt. I am guessing week 5
I think herremans will be okay but Jackson has me worried too
But if that’s our starting o line and no one gets hurt… I would feel a bit more comfortable with this group. I wish there was one more preseason for wells though

Jackson is like Andrews last year, only his ACL injury occured way later in the season than Stacys did, so Im thinking he might be in there for about 2 games before they realize he came back too soon.

as we could read in a post a few weeks ago, the injuries were supposedly night and day, with Stacy’s being far more serious, as Jackson only damaged his ACL, without injuring any other ligaments.

A few interesting names out there
Chase Coffman
Brandon McDonald
Chris Henry
Jay Alford
Andre Brown
Josh Reed
Nathan Vasher
Samkon Gado
Raheem Brock
Ofcourse there may be some promising young talent out there that we never heard of. A random NFL fan may not know who Jeff Owens, Cornelius Ingram, Macho Harris, Quintin Demps, Fenuki Tupou, and Boo Robinson are.
Who's Been Eatin' Hummus?
She passed wind, excused herself, and sponged off in the corner as I sat dazed and confused...
No way
Vasher is soft as can be, thats like asking Lito to come and play safety.

Yeah
Gerald Anderson and Larry Asante are two that I like.
Larry Asante scouting report: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1243537
And Gerald Anderson is an athletic FS who was once a second round draft pick.

I think
Hank Poteat is available as well, probably on the downslope, but he was pretty decent, plus he can play corner.
Nope.
Al Afalava
is available, he is a big hitter, hellacious special teams player who started 13 games last season. Not much of a starter but he should be a good back-up and special teams player.

As an alum of a Big12(-2)
I’ve seen alot of Larry Asante. If you need a thumper in the secondary, he’s your man. I wouldn’t want him trying to cover my 13 week old daughter though. Don’t be fooled by the scouting report, with Big12 schools throwing the ball 50-60 times a game each week and he only had 7 pass breakups last year???
Myron Rolle is available.
The Titans cut him.

No thank you
The guy is out of this world smart off the field but on the field he has sub par instincts, is terrible in pass defense and he is nothing more than an over glorified in the box safety.

fantasy football
I just need 1 Eagles fan to complete my NFC Rivals league on NFL.com. Proper divisions, draft on Tuesday night at 9:00PM EST. If anyone is interested in representing the Eagles, the League ID is 94216, go to “received an invite” in fantasy, no password is required. Make it happen Philly!
some what surprised we only got a 7th for Andrews
Maybe there will be some conditions in there and I guess that could be what is taking so long.
Let's get it Birds.
