Wishful thinking. And you are crazy if you think Pettigrew and Holt will actually make the Eag's O as good as AZ's.

And I really hope Philly doesn't sign Leonard Weaver. He's not the best blocking fullback, but he is a threat running and catching out of the backfield.

[jflip2002]

Weaver is a good blocking fullback, better than we have. And his playmaking skills makes him that much more valuable. Im pretty sure we will get Weaver, and Im wishful that Pettigrew will fall to Philly.

[jflip2002]

Fuck yeah, Weaver is an Eagle.

[jflip2002]

Come to Philly, Anquan. Come to Philly.

that would be awesome, former Eagles fan, but isn't he the one who was throwing fit last season in Arizona? and Drew Rosehaus?



Hopefully we get a good receiver though, at least for a season.

[jflip2002]

The only problem is AZ will probably want a first round pick. I dont see a problem with it, considering we do have two of them. Team up our other first round pick, with our 3rd round pick, and move up to around 12-15, and take a top OT. Draft (or sign someone like Droughens, McCallister or Dominic Rhodes) a big bruising running back. That would spell super bowl victory.

I just hope Sean Jones ends up playing well. Im VERY thankful Considine is out of Philly. I didnt want to lose Bdawks, but I feared if Dawkins left, Considine would move into his spot. Considine sucks dick, he could not cover me.

It should be a good season, I truly can not wait.

Oh man, rumors Jason Peters may becoming to town also....

Trade a second round pick and Winston Justice for Peters. Give up a first rounder for Boldin. Still have a first rounder to pick up Beanie Wells. The offseason is looking a little more optimistic as it goes on.

[BobombETA]

Man, I hope Buffalo holds on to Peters. Otherwise the T.O. acquisition will br for nothing.

[jflip2002]

He obviously doesnt want to be there. Its the second year in a row hes held out. Let him come to a winner.

[BobombETA]

It's kind of sad though since the Bills brought him in as an undrafted TE, and molded him into the Pro Bowl LT that he is today.

His play was subpar last season though, allowing 14 sacks in as many games before he was injured. Yet he still was voted to the Pro Bowl on reputation alone.

Making him the highest LT in the league is asking too much, but I think that if they do trade him to Philly, they should at least try to push for one of your 1st rounders.

[Aptyp]

maybe igloos just need to trade all their draft picks to pick up all players around the league...

[jflip2002]

Eagles dont trade draft picks unless its for other draft picks. I dont think Peters is worth more than a second rounder, and throw in a Winston Justice, so Buffalo at least has a fat body to put at LT. A 2nd round pick is a great pick; I dont remember the last time a veteran player has been traded for a first round pick. I would, however, be willing to trade a first round pick for Boldin. I need to be the Eagles' GM, theyd have a Super Bowl championship already.

Watching sports center just now, "Eagles On the Clock" came up. Kiper suggested taking Mike Oher and Beanie Wells. Trent Dilfer suggested trading #21 and #28, geting into the #3 or #4 spot, and taking Michael Crabtree. I think thats a lot to pay for Crabtree, considering Boldins deal with probably only be for one first rounder.

[TwoJ's]

In hindsight, I think it is a good thing that Weaver wasn't asked to come back. He really isn't a blocking fullback, and he won't fit in to the new non-holmgren offense. Plus, from what it looks like Philly was his second choice to Seattle, but they didn't see any value in him.

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/eagles/For_Who_For_Weaver.html

And there is an interview that I can't find at the moment that shows him referring to himself as "Weave" in the third person. The only person that can really get away with that is Ricky.

And jflip, I think you are right; trading 21 and 28 to get crabtree wouldn't be a good move. There is a very good chance he will be a bust in the NFL. I'm now hoping Seattle doesn't even consider taking him (or trades the pick to philly).

Great day to be a Bear fan.

Welcome to Chicago Jay.

Good luck in Denver Kyle.

[Aptyp]

LOL, now watch Orton blossom and Cutler become a punching bag.

Good move for bears though.
