It's early on in the free agency period in the NFL and yet there have already been some interesting moves made. Well not really to interesting, but I know this next year it's going to be hard being an Eagle fan. As it stands now my team has lost Buckhalter (not really a big deal though he is an accomplished back up) and Dawkins(hands down my favorite player on the team who i was hoping would have the opportunity to retire as an Eagle) to the Broncos. Now that's two players gone and yet nothing brought in. Housmanzadeh doesn't look to be heading to Philly as I'd hoped and even if he does slip into free agency I know my team won't put up the money to bring Marvin Harrison in. Now with our lack of moves we might as well trade Donovan since we aren't planning on being much of a factor next season it would seem.
The biggest news as of yet seems to be coming out of the AFC west. As mentioned the Broncos and their new Regime have scooped up Dawkins and Buckhalter from the Eagles as well as J.J. Arrington from the defending NFC champ cardinals. As that was going on the Chiefs were able to make a Steal of a trade. I don't care who you are and how much you doubt him outside of the patriots system but to give up MATT CASSEL and a proven linebacker in MIKE VRABEL for just a second round pick seems like the dumbest move on the planet. What were the Patriots thinking. Yeah i know Brady's coming back and no one is going to pay a back up QB 14.5 million dollars but a SECOND ROUND PICK when you are giving up 2 stars of your team from last season obviously someone has been taking hits from Micheal Phelps bong.
Now for all you Niner fans it would be a HUGE deal if you could woo kurt Warner to your team. That deal would pretty much be the only way you can gurantee more then 3 wins next season. You realize you just signed a guy from the titans who in 16 games last season only managed 41receptions 449 yards and a single touchdown. Seems to me that's not much of an improvement on what you already have on your squad. The problem isn't so much the receiving core its the lack of anyone to get the ball into their hands. Oh well maybe you guys could work something out with my crappy team who have a QB and only one person on the squad who proved they could catch anything too bad he's the running back that we run ragged. I tell you what I officially quit my team when they let westbrook go. I mean right now my beloved Eagles this off season have lost
CORELL BUCKHALTER
BRIAN DAWKINS
LITO SHEPPHERD
where do we possibly plan on finishing next season I'm banking on 3 in the nfc east just beating out the COWBOYS.... they signed KITNA for christ sakes

Free agency is always tough. Eagles always compete... Unlike the blow hard niners. At least your QB can hold the ball. If they let Westbrook go, ur toast. Marvin Harrison wouldn't help u out much... Maybe as a 3rd wide out.
WTF with Cassell? Like that move couldn't have been made 3 weeks into the season. Let Brady get at least a few snaps in. They could have dumped Matt anytime next year for a second round pick. Why even franchise tag him?
PS. I'm showing u some love at WonderCon. Waiting for the Sarah Conner Chronicles Panel. Peace.
