Winners: The Philadelphia Eagles: First, they beef up their offensive line with Reggie Wells, a quality starter whom coach Andy Reid coveted for years. Wells is an important addition to an offensive line that must protect new quarterback Kevin Kolb with dependable guys -- and Wells is one of them.

Biggest surprise: At the last minute, the Eagles were able to move Stacy Andrews and his reduced (but still too large) salary to the Seahawks for a seventh-round pick in 2011. Andrews had been a huge disappointment for the Eagles and now they feel fortunate to receive anything in return for him.

11. Philadelphia Eagles – Jeffrey Lurie: If cool, stable, no-frills leadership is what you prefer, Lurie is a hell of a role model. A self-sufficient, non-meddlesome owner, Lurie has a strong, well-respected team president in Joe Banner and a similarly stable head-coaching situation.

How is Dan Snyder 8th on that “best owner” list?

Agreed! What the heck?

And Jerry Jones

… is number 1.

I would put Snyder and Jones toward the back, but their franchises are worth a good deal of money.

Nah

Jerry Jones might be a megalomaniac, and his football team might not have a lot of recent playoff success, but he knows what he’s doing and he’s pretty damn good at it.

I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed.

He’s a great owner, but shitty GM.

DAT ASS!!

precisely

i’d rather have jerry as an owner and a businessman, but not a football guru.

Ok Kevin, you said you wanted the chance to start.

Lights on. The team is what it is. Donovan, Randall and Jaws all at some point, put the team on their backs and gave the City many great victories. We expect no less from you. Pressure? The NFL is a pressure cooker! Stand up and compete every week and this City will love you! We believe in you. Don’t prove us wrong!

I want a championship!

I can happily admit I was clammoring for vetern help at wr, but I wanted to make a deal for boldin (and so did the eagles, according to sources) but arizona wasn’t being realistic.

2010-11 Predictions:

Kevin Kolb will go to the probowl and complete >65% of passes.

Jeremy Maclyn will have more receptions than Miles Austin & Steve Smith

Graham will have the starting LDE spot tied up by week 5, win ROTY, and have >10 Sacks

11-5 finish.

Philadelphia lost out last season when Dallas buried them three times, the last two by a combined score of 58-14. The gap between the clubs is closer today because of Philadelphia’s maneuvers.

Because that had nothing to do with the injuries, especially to Jamal Jackson

No, none at all

The fact that Dallas’ starters owned our scrubs is a testament to the Divine blessing the Good Lord has bestowed upon the team centered in “God’s Country” (Texas)…it had nothing to do with injuries
