If TO is done here these are receivers that could be obtained. In my opinion of course.
Stallworth
Colbert
Moulds
Charles Rogers
Peerless Price
Robert Ferguson
Freddie Mitchell
Why the farg would the Eagles want to get Freddie Mitchell back?
Because he sucks. Oh wait ...
Best in the business baby.

Get it right....Freddie Mitchell is the WORST in the business...& Peoples Chump is more like it. :boo
Nobody's worse than Wilbur.
Eckel mentioned Robert Ferguson too. He also mentioned Warrick and Peerless Price. I do agree with him about Ferguson for the same reason he said. They have 2 other good receivers and Murphy who they drafted. Same reason I put him down on my list.
Quote from: Captain Spach on August 11, 2005, 08:15:07 PM
Stallworth - ugh
Colbert - Panthers wouldn't.
Moulds - no.
Charles Rogers - isn't he on IR yet?
Peerless Price - only very cheap
Robert Ferguson - garbage.
Freddie Mitchell - lol
they completely missed the boat on rod gardner
Eckel looks at who is out there... (http://www.nj.com/eagles/times/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/112383409096660.xml&coll=5)
QuoteSources told The Times, the Eagles are looking into what receivers could be available through trade and what it would take to acquire any of those receivers.
QuoteOn that list could be Cincinnati's Peter Warrick, the fourth pick of the 2000 draft, who never quite lived up to that selection in his five years with the Bengals.
Warrick is currently the Bengals' No. 3 wide receiver and has expressed displeasure with the situation. He is in camp with the team, but he is not practicing. According to reports in the Cincinnati newspapers, Warrick was cleared medically to play but the team has not put him on the field.
The Bengals could waive Warrick to save the $2.28 million he is scheduled to earn this season, but they are somewhat concerned that AFC North rival Pittsburgh would sign him.
It may not take much to acquire Warrick, although his agent is none other than Drew Rosenhaus.
QuoteOther possibilities on the trade market include Peerless Price, who the Atlanta Falcons may try to move. Price will earn $2 million this year and then $5 million each of the next three years. He has been a disappointment for the Falcons after they traded a first-round pick to Buffalo to acquire him
QuoteDetroit, with a glut of wide receivers, may look to move oft-injured Charles Rogers, but would like a good return for their No. 1 pick in the 2003 draft.
QuoteGreen Bay, always a willing trade partner for the Eagles, also has depth at the receiver position and needs all over its defense. Robert Ferguson could be attractive to the Eagles, and might cost a draft pick and/or a defensive player.
QuoteFinally, Cleveland has been reportedly looking to move Andre Davis, their second-round pick in 2002, who missed nine games last year with injury, but averaged over 20 yards per catch.
If, if, if (and I stress if) Detroit is indeed looking to move Rogers, I'd be all over that. Matt Millen is a dumbass. I'd give them a draft pick or two and a player.
Robert Ferguson is intriguing too.
the rosenhaus factor is way overblown...he is the kind of guy that holds no grudges he just does whats best for his players...and most teams including the eagles i believe realize this and would treat every situation differently
atlanta would never trade the eagles a wr...is eckel is a dope for even mentioning this...their main rival in the conference is going to help them at a position where thye need it most??
ideally warrick will be released and they scoop him up
I agree that the agent-factor is being overhyped. Look at the fight the Eagles had with Drew when Hugh left the first time...they still drafted McDougle and signed Jevon Kearse.
And I don't see ATL trading us Price either. But they might just flat out cut the dude. They have demoted him. Dez White and Michael jenkins are the "starters" and they still have Roddy White and Brian Finneran.
But I think Peerless Price is a hunk of garbage. I don't want him.
while Peerless COULD replace Pinkston as a #2 receiver, we all know he's definitely not a #1 receiver worthy of a double team.
Cleveland Plain-Dealer (http://www.cleveland.com/sports/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/sports/11238394624501.xml&coll=2)
QuoteDavis was mentioned in a trade rumor with Seattle before camp started. But Edwards' absence put talks on hold. Since then, the Philadelphia Eagles have experienced losses at receiver and could be a possible suitor.
I agree that the agent-factor is being overhyped. Look at the fight the Eagles had with Drew when Hugh left the first time...they still drafted McDougle and signed Jevon Kearse.
exactly...i can see why people hate rosenhaus so much...hes a pompous windbag...but he doesnt bother me...i find him amusing...i also believe for the most part hes fair as an agent...at least as fair as any other agents
in fact rosenhaus is the agent version of TO last year...yet the city worshipped TO last season but despise rosenhaus
id take any wr for the right rpice
fwiw angelo just said they is rumor that hes gonna give after the commercial break about a veteran wr the eagles are trying to get and hes a 'good one'
Jesus Christ..is Rhea Hughes reading this MB?!?
I posted that Rosenhaus could be fired article from PFT and a minute later she is reporting it on air. Now I posted that link from the Cleveland papers and she is reading it now.
Hey Rhea, if you're reading here...you suck.
where is the rosenhaus firing piece??

This ought to be good.
it was the same as the cleveland blurb above that phreak posted...except they mentioned simon being a aprt of it
Simon for Andre Davis? Throw in a mid-rounder for us and I'm game.
hey, after Chad Johnson said that he was in control of his situation and not Rosenshtein I think the picture was painted for the TO antics.
I like the Andre Davis rumor, as a replacement for Pinkston. Although he was injured a bit last season, he did catch a 99 yard TD and had 13 TDs in 19 starts in two and a half seasons. He's only 26, has decent size (6-1, 195 lbs) and has potential.
I'd do it, if the price isn't too ridiculous.
I wouldn't even call that Davis thing a rumor. Seems more like an idea from a writer....
We didn't miss any boat on Rod Gardner. We already have Billy "Rod Gardner lite" McMullen.
Andre Davis is an excellent player and an intriguing possibility. I wouldn't mind the Eagles making a move to acquire him one bit, especially if it includes Corey Simon. Davis could start as the #4, purely as a vertical threat, until he learns the offense a bit and can work in to 3 WR sets. Assuming T.O.'s around in 2005, adding a guy like Davis along with Lewis and Brown creates matchup issues downfield (and a lot of space in short yardage and the flat).
I'm on the Andre Davis bandwagon, even if there is no substance yet to the rumor.

I have to agree too & am having a hard time understanding fan's angst over this. Gardner is a McMullen who got the reps in the regular season.
lol really. Think about it folks, the fargin Skins fans wanted rid of the guy.
comparing gardner to mcmullen is :boom
hes big and very athletic and would be a great red zone threat if nothing else
plus he was essentially free...you watch he will have a good year in carolina
If we could get Rogers I'd love it. He has #1 potential. Yes, he got hurt twice, but both were collar bone injuries. It's not like he has a nagging knee or back problem. Everyone else you know what you are getting. He didn't mention Stallworth, but the reason I'd try to get him is when you have blazing speed, you can get open. We just need people to get open in this offense. If TO is gone then that 40 yard bomb for a TD breaking 5 tackles is gone. We need to accept that. Then we have to focus on getting our guys open and moving the ball.
Collar bone injuries (Rogers) can be chronic, it's not like they grow back stronger. I'm not a doctor but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last nite. Ward would be nice. Route Runner, run blocker, fearless, consistent, healthy. How about Arizona for one of their studs? Boldin maybe. Then TO could rot in Arizona w/o McNabb. \m/

billy mcmullen is not 215 i dont care what hes listed at
regardless my point was that rod gardner is cock deisel...mcmullen is wirey...there no comparison in their size
And they both suck.
McMullen yo momma!
gardner last four years
46 741 4
71 1006 8
59 600 5
51 650 5
mcmullen last two
1 2 0
3 24 0
gardner arguably would be the best wr on the eagles right now...i have a feeling lewis is better but he hasnt proven it yet
Whenever I watch the Browns Andre Davis is dropping balls. It scares me a bit.
McMullen was 210 before the draft.
ok yous win for now...im not gonna argue this insanity

no way...in fact rod gardner is gonna get me on the board...i just hope im not to far in the hole by then
hey I think Gardner will have a better season than McMullen, because I think McMullen sucks ass. but he is a big dude.

QuoteFerguson could be of interest to Eagles
Philly in need of receivers
By BOB McGINN
bmcginn@journalsentinel.com
Posted: Aug. 12, 2005
Green Bay - The Philadelphia Eagles reportedly are looking to acquire a wide receiver by trade and there's little doubt that Robert Ferguson of the Green Bay Packers is someone they would be considering.
The Trenton (N.J.) Times reported Thursday that the Eagles are looking into which wide receivers could be available and what it would take to acquire one.
Obstinate wide receiver Terrell Owens might have played his final game in Philadelphia and the other starter, Todd Pinkston, is out for the season with a torn Achilles' tendon.
Coach Andy Reid's top three wide receivers are Greg Lewis, a thin-framed free agent with 23 receptions in two seasons; rookie Reggie Brown, a second-round draft choice; and Billy McMullen, who has four catches in two seasons.
It's likely that the Eagles will take their time. Their answer at wide receiver might be on their roster.
Then again, the Eagles are shooting for a return trip to the Super Bowl and aren't about to let one position undermine their season.
Among the players listed by The Times as possibilities for the Eagles were Ferguson and two other former second-round picks, Cleveland's Andre' Davis and Atlanta's Peerless Price. Both Davis and Price are regarded as disappointments by their teams.
Philadelphia has a pair of extra fourth-round selections in the 2006 draft and leads the National Football League in available cap room at $10.916 million.
Ferguson made the list for two reasons: he knows the West Coast offense and the Packers have a surplus at wide receiver. Plus, he destroyed Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown for two touchdown passes in an '03 playoff game and made three catches for 68 yards against them in December.
If Ferguson were traded, the Packers still would have Javon Walker, Donald Driver, rookie Terrence Murphy, Antonio Chatman, Andrae Thurman and rookie Craig Bragg.
On Thursday night, offensive coordinator Tom Rossley indicated that the Packers couldn't afford to trade Ferguson, saying, "He's a big piece of our chemistry." But those decisions will be made by general manager Ted Thompson, and it's no secret that he relishes extra draft picks.
If the Packers dealt Ferguson, they would take an immediate hit of $1.555 million against their salary cap. At present, they are $3.369 million under the cap.
Although the 25-year-old Ferguson is five years younger than Driver, the Eagles surely would consider Driver as well. Trading Driver would mean less of a cap hit for the Packers at $533,000 but also would bring higher compensation.
In addition to draft choices, the Eagles have a surplus of players on defense that might interest the Packers.
Roderick Hood, their No. 3 cornerback, probably was as effective a nickel back in '04 as Al Harris had been earlier in his career and is the team's top kickoff returner. No. 4 cornerback Matt Ware was a third-round pick in '04 and has good ability.
Linebacker Mark Simoneau, a two-year starter on the weak side, is scheduled to split time with Keith Adams and has the speed that coordinator Jim Bates values.
The Eagles have seven solid defensive tackles. Nose tackle Hollis Thomas, who would fall to No. 3 if Corey Simon reports, is a rugged wide body and would fit Bates' profile at the position. Sam Rayburn, who is No. 4, had six sacks and plays tenaciously.
Even Quintin Mikell, their No. 3 safety, might start for some teams if he weren't behind Pro Bowl starters Brian Dawkins and Michael Lewis.
The Eagles and Packers have collaborated on seven trades since Reid left Green Bay in 1999.
Philadelphia also might be looking for a big running back because Correll Buckhalter's career is threatened by a chronic knee problem and both Brian Westbrook and rookie Ryan Moats are scatbacks. Green Bay's Najeh Davenport could be extremely difficult to re-sign in March when he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Trenton Times = Eckel.

Turd Ferguson is funny, it's a funny name.

Bob Grotz had this today:
QuoteThe Eagles would have no interest in Koren Robinson, the former No. 1 draft pick of the Seattle Seahawks. Robinson is a big receiver versed in the West Coast offense but has off the field problems and could face a suspension for running afoul of the NFL's substance abuse program.

lmfao
Phil Andrews mentioned that Green Bay is interested in Hollis, Rayburn and Simoneau...
I know that's just media rumors, but that's a decent trade. I'd rather lose Hollis (don't get me wrong I love Hollis but he has had some injuries and isn't getting younger, plus wants more money) then Rayburn. Obviously Sims is a wash, go ahead and take him although that does leave our LBs a little thin at the WILL in terms of experience. I mean Adams spent his whole career up to last season as a backup/special teamer, he did play well down the stretch and in the playoffs, but has anyone seen him play a 16 game season as thee guy, and then who is behind him?
They'd be saving $1.25M in 2007 if they traded Simoneau instead of Hollis, but it'd be a slightly bigger cap hit for this season...

Reid wouldn't give up Rayburn to GET TO!!!1!one!eleven!1, he's not going to give him up to replace him.
anyone who would trade Rayburn for a 2nd rate WR should be shot.
I'm all for getting Ferguson. I like him. He's young and the Eagles liked him coming out of Texas A&M a few years ago. He's also the guy who burnt Sheldon Brown for 2 TD's in the playoffs two years ago.
But I am not giving up Sam Rayburn for him.
Hopefully Green Bay would be a place Corey Simon would go to and reach a deal with them.
Simon & Simoneau & maybe a draft pick for Ferguson & Fisher - thats what I'd do.
I'd consider giving up Hollis if they wanted him. But not Rayburn.
And if they want Rayburn - then I go looking for Andre Davis.

Brown was a rookie.
Reid won't make any move for a receiver until he has his sit-down with Owens. In fact, the first indication of how this TO saga will end will probably be if we do trade for a receiver: in all likelihood that would mean Reid's had enough of his antics.
I think the Birds will add a rec. regardless of the TO. Sit. And here is my list of Poss. Canadates.
1. Robert Feurgeson - Packers (Probably would take just a draft pick 3rd/4th)
2. Andre Davis - Browns (Defensive help, Oline help, draft pick 5/6)
3. Doug Gabriel - Raiders (Def. Help, Draft pick 4/5)
4. Bethel Johnson - Pats (Draft Pick, But I dont think they will trade with us)
5. Kelley Washington - Bengals (D help, draft pick 4/5)
That is the Elite group
Now for the Second tier
1. Kevin Johnson - Lions (Draft pk 6/7)
2. Charles Lee - Cards (Oline help, Draft pk 7th)
3. Randy Hymes - Ravens (Draft Pick 5/6)
Now the bottom of the Barrell
1. Peter Warrick - Bengals (Probaly a 7th, but he probably will be released so if u wait nothing)
2. Derrius Thompson - Dolphins (Draft pick 6/7)
3. Troy Edwards - Jags (Draft pick 6/7)
Now out of all of these I think Feurgeson could step in an excel and Permenatly replace Pinky. I also really like Andre Davis, He gives u exactly what u had in Pinky.
I know I could use a new Pinky.

I'm all for getting Ferguson. I like him. He's young and the Eagles liked him coming out of Texas A&M a few years ago. He's also the guy who burnt Sheldon Brown for 2 TD's in the playoffs two years ago.
But I am not giving up Sam Rayburn for him.
Hopefully Green Bay would be a place Corey Simon would go to and reach a deal with them.
Simon & Simoneau & maybe a draft pick for Ferguson & Fisher - thats what I'd do.
I'd consider giving up Hollis if they wanted him. But not Rayburn.
And if they want Rayburn - then I go looking for Andre Davis.
Not likely when they're going through their own DT contract dispute with Grady Jackson. If they're having a hard time satisfying his money demands, then they'll have not shot with Corey.
Ferguson for Hollis or we go elsewhere IMO.
Yeah, my point wasn't that Brown sucks because anyone with a brain knows he doesn't. I was just pointing out that Ferguson can make plays.

He was the nickleback that year.
QuoteMILLEN WILL KEEP RECEIVERS: The Eagles might be looking for receivers, with Terrell Owens out of camp after an altercation with coach Andy Reid, with Todd Pinkston out for the season with an Achilles injury. The Lions might have a surplus of receivers, but Millen isn't interesting in making a deal. "I'm happy with our receivers," Millen said. "Where we've been the last few years and what we have right now, I think we've made strides, and I think we're going to continue."
Jeff Garcia and Mariucci, who had a history with Owens in San Francisco, declined to comment on the Philadelphia story. "I really don't have any thoughts," Garcia said. "I don't have to deal with it anymore, so that's a good thing."
QuoteBENGALS SHOPPING WARRICK
Last week, it was reported that the Bengals have given former first-round receiver Peter Warrick a "take-a-pay-cut-or-take-a-hike" ultimatum. We're told, however, that before the Bengals cut the cord on Warrick, they are trying to get value in return for his services via a trade.
Warrick is scheduled to make $2.28 million in the sixth and final year of his rookie deal. As a vested veteran, his base salary will become fully guaranteed if he's on the roster when the team opens its regular season.
Whether the receiver-needy Eagles would be interested in Warrick remains to be seen. His status as a Drew Rosenhaus client could make the team less interested, given the current acrimony between the team and Terrell Owens.
Teams with a potential interest in Warrick, as we see it, could include the Jets, the Steelers (who are still a bit thin even with Hines Ward back), the Titans, the Texans, the Chiefs, the taterskins, the Buccaneers, and the Seahawks.
The real question for any team that might be interested in Warrick is whether the team is willing to cough up a draft pick in order to gain priority over any other potential suitors.
PRICE OUT IN ATLANTA?
Though the Falcons chose demotion instead of termination for receiver Peerless Price prior to the start of training camp, it sounds like he still could end up on the chopping block come early September.
Without overtly slamming Price, coach Jim Mora's comments in Tuesday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution suggest that things aren't rosy for Price at Flowery Branch.
"[T]here's issues of how's he responding to being demoted," Mora said. "Has his blocking improved to the point where he's not a liability on runs but he becomes an asset? It's kind of funny we're still saying that about a five- or six-year veteran, but that's the facts of the matter."
Of course, Mora's comments invite skepticism, since they come in yet another "It's Not Mike Vick's Fault That Our Passing Game Blows" article from the good folks at the AJC, who should be in line for lots of ad buys from Artie Blank's "other" business interest, Home Depot.
But even if Vick really is the problem, there's no reason to pay Price or any other receiver $4.4 million to be a decoy for a scramble or a dump off to tight end Alge Crumpler.
So look for Price to not be a member of the final 53 in Atlanta -- and he very well could end up getting an invitation to join the team that defeated the Falcons in last year's NFC title game.
so the Birds will trade for Ferguson and the Mad Pooper and then pick up Warrick and Price in FA. Then Fred Barnett will come back as the #5. nice.
Damn, lets just fill the entire roster with McNabb and WRs. Thats the ticket! :crazy
And we'd still keep Reno.
I think we need some diagrams of plays for 7 WR sets, MURP.
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (http://www.jsonline.com/packer/news/aug05/348609.asp)
QuoteFerguson hasn't been told there is any such trade in the works with the Eagles by Packers personnel or his agent. He said he would prefer to remain with the Packers - "of course" - who drafted him in the second round in 2001 and extended his contract a year ago.
However, asked whether he would rather be in Green Bay where he's behind Donald Driver and Javon Walker on the depth chart, or play in a place like Philadelphia with quarterback Donovan McNabb, Ferguson was more open to moving on than most people might think.
"The only thing I am thinking about right now is being productive," said Ferguson. "Wherever I am productive at, I don't care. I want to use my talent. I don't feel I have been able to utilize all my talent since I have been in the NFL. I'm just focusing on training camp, and this is the best training camp I have ever had."
Speaking of Queerless Price, I had a brief argument with my idiotic Buffalo Bills buddy Johnny last night about him.
He kept insisting that he'd be a great #1 receiver for someone if he just had a decent quarterback to throw him the ball.
After gut-laughing for about five minutes over that ridiculous comment, I told him to shut his face hole.
rjs would have been proud. ;D
I wonder if the Eagles are waiting to see what happens on Wed to decide what route they are going to take... or if they can get Ferguson they just say goodbye to TO no matter what.
MURP... if they get Ferguson, they should still hang onto T.O.
Sit him down and make him watch Ferguson lead us to the playoffs.
Sure, it would drive T.O. permanently over the edge but isn't that the point of all this anyway?

I think it's fairly obvious that they'll see what they get from T.O. tomorrow before pulling the trigger on another vet WR.
If TO comes back and is ready to act like a man, if at least for the season, then the Eagles will pursue someone like Ferguson I think anyway. If TO comes back tomorrow and is still a pain, then I think the Eagles will suspend him sometime thursday while thinking about their options for the rest of wednesday. Then I think they will look for someone a level above someone like Ferguson. Whether or not they would be able to land someone like that remains to be seen, but they will definitely try.

You know what I mean. He never saw the field his first year.
Don't make excuses. He got burnt that is all there is to it, didn't matter anyhow we still won.

Yeah, but the Falcon's center keeps telling Price how good he has it.

do the Pats have 400 receivers now?
Tim Dwight, Troy Brown, David Terrell, Deion Branch, David Givens, Bethel Johnson and now Andre Davis?
how many are they gonna carry on their roster?
Not that many. Somebody's shaking loose.
That's a really strange move for the Pats. I really don't get what they're doing with the receiving corps.
They've got many KR/WRs: Dwight, Brown, Johnson, and now Davis. Plus I hear Terrell hasn't even made it on the field yet. ???

No WRs will be added unless the TO situation changes for the worse.

The season's not getting any further away. I think they were honestly not going to do so after seeing the young guys step up against the Steelers. But now, with Jenkins hurt and the young guys very quiet against the Ravens, it's back to the drawing board.
I wouldn't mind getting a guy with some PR experience also.

Yeah and spending a ton of money on a receiver worked out really well. No trophy, huge pain in the ass and nothing more to show than we had after the Thrash/Pinkston years. So yeah, lets all tear Reid apart for his decision-making with the receiving corps.
Andre Davis doesn't cost a ton of money. The Pats probably got him for a 6th rounder.
Secondly, if the Patriots who won 3 Superbowls picked him up when they already have plenty of receivers that says something. That is a franchise who knows what they are doing.

Also if TO blows up and with Jenkins out, we have extreme lack of depth. If we do bring in another receiver, that's cool.

You just stated why the Eagles DIDN'T get Davis. He becomes a UFA after the season. With the way the team protects draft picks (especially after trading 4th and 6th for Simoneau), they aren't likely to trade a draft pick for a guy that is going to be a UFA. Plus, you have to ask this question--why wasn't he on the field more with Cleveland, which is a poor franchise right now.
Plus, the price might have been higher for the Eagles than the Pats.
And another thing--who remembers the TWO fumbles on back to back KORs last season against the Eagles?
he doesn't listen to reason. lol
Chris Mortensen just said that the Eagles did offer a conditional pick that could have become as high as a 5th round pick for Davis but since the Pats offered a guarenteed 5th rounder, the Browns took it.

In the past five years, no team in the NFL has more wins than the Eagles. The Pats lucked their way into the Super Bowl.
The Pats lucked their way into the Superbowl? Are you serious? Most wins over the last 5 years is nice, but it means nothing. The Pats have what we want, and that is 3 rings. You wouldn't trade that for the "best record over the last 5 years", are you serious?
I wouldn't call dominating every opponent in their path pretty much lucky either. They raped the Steelers and the Colts.

I understand that. That doesn't explain why the Eagles didn't want him. Hey, if they bring in someone better than Davis then I'm all for it. Ferguson probably isn't better and the Packers said they don't want to trade him. I don't see anyone out there but you never know. I liked his speed and thought he could replace Pink as a vertical threat. Guess the Eagles disagree. I'll give em the benefit of the doubt, but that doesn't mean I can't get angry and oppose their beliefs unlike most people here.

Come on, bro. Like I had to tell the chicken littles on the EMB - how do you know that the Eagles ever had a chance to give more than that 5th? You don't start out by offering a 5th. You start out offering what they did to see if CLE bites on it. Like I said - I bet Romeo told Bill if he gives him a 5th, Davis is theirs.
I don't know, but it's all about perspective. My perspective is always guilty until proven innocent. I don't mind your logic. You seem to be taking the innocent until proven guilty. But for me, I will always think the worst until proven otherwise.
I'm using logic. Look no further than the Belichick-Crennel connection. Do you think that has nothing to do with this?
And is it the end of the world because Andre Davis didn't come here? They have three weeks to get another WR in here.
It's not a huge deal, but Davis is who I wanted, and I feel like chopping up the Eagles a bit until my disappointment goes away.
Get some penis enlargement pills.
QuoteHead coach Andy Reid confirmed that interest yesterday after the Pats made the trade. The Eagles still remain interested in a veteran backup wide receiver.

Really curious who they'd target. I'm not sure if they're planning it via trade, or waiting for someone to shake loose.

That's a tough one. Guy had shtein for QB's in Chicago. Such a talent coming out of Michigan. He just got lost with the Bears. In the right system with a good QB he might shine. My god is NE loaded at WR or what?
Quincy Morgan is gripping down in Dallas. Slight character risk that Reid probably wouldn't want.
A big FARG NO to both David Terrell and Quincy Morgan.
Morgan is getting beat out by Patrick Crayton. If you get beat out by Crayton, you should retire.
Terrell is a bigger bust than Freddie and a bigger icehole than TO. He likes to get arrested and all that shtein.

Good point. I forgot about the other "issues". We don't need that.
If David Terrell cant even succeed with his college QB (Brady) I dont see how he would make it on the Eagles.
David Terrell had an "i'm phenomenal" attitude kinda like Freddie. He'd make his first down catch (which would be his only catch of the game) and act like he just won the superbowl. Then, when he'd get a ball thrown his way in the endzone, he'd let it slip between his fingers.
The Bears haven't had a decent QB in years, but if he hasn't improved with New England I'm going to agree with MURP. Screw that.

What's that you say about a guy teaming up with his old college QB? You been talking to Eckel?
(Both UFA) Anyone interested in Curtis Conway, or Koren Robinson? ??? Conway is a little long in the tooth, but was very good. Robinson has been in trouble and is in a rehab joint now, plans to ready for season. The upside of his talent is high if he can be rehabbed.
This team will NOT add Koren Robinson. And Curtis Conway is a LOT long in the tooth.
Here is his stats w/Rattay at QB starting only 5 games. (REC 38) (YDS 403) (AVG 10.6) (LNG 37) (TD 3) He would come cheap, he has reliable hands, we could use veteran depth. :yay
Dez White got hurt last night in the ATL game and he was one of their starting WRs. He hurt his knee and no word on how serious it is yet.
Dez White (knee injury)
Roddy White (high ankle sprain)
Peerless Price (bruised ribs & concussion)
If both White's are out for prolonged periods of time, the chances of them releasing/trading Peerless Price are slim to none.
Get Michael Jenkins!

I'm not very high on him either. However, if he was playing second-fiddle to TO ala his days in Buffalo with Eric Moulds I would consider it. And he'd have to be making small coin too. No big contracts for him. A one-year "prove yourself and get the farg outta here" deal is what I'd give him.

For that, I'd still bring in Tai Streets.
James Thrash > Tai Streets

Great, so then we'd lose both of our starting WRs next year. I'll pass.
Troy Edwards was released by the Jaguars.
Yeah, we know. The Titans are already talking about getting him. He'd be a good fit here. But I doubt it happens.
And Mark Eckel (seriously, I'll get the link) says he could be of interest here...

Unless he was the Number 2 instead of Lewis, it doesn't sound like he'd be happy. I honestly can't attest to his skills has I've seen very few Jaguar games, but thus far it looks like he may have earned the dreaded lablel "First Round Bust."
He's still pretty young, isn't he?
Quote from: Mad-Lad on August 05, 2005, 04:52:14 PM
don't ever mention Troy Edwards' name again.
he's a douche.
I mentioned Edwards way back. I'd take him depending on who else is available. I'll make that decision tomorrow.
Edwards sucked when he was a Steeler. Then, he sucked as a Ram. He went on to suck as a Jaguar, before being cut because he sucked.
He's better than McMullen. As a 4th WR he wouldn't be a horrible pickup if no one else is out there. We'll find out tomorrow who is out there and what players are being shopped by their teams.
there is still a change that Warrick may get cut by the Bengals.
I know, and I'd rather have Warrick than Edwards. The thing is Warrick is always hurt. That is why I'll make my decision on whether I want Edwards tomorrow. Also the Eagles could still swing a deal to get a WR for a pick.
Eskin guaranteed that the Eagles would not make a trade for a WR or RB today...
So...I guess we're getting Davenport and a WR.

I'd actually love for it to be Kevin Johnson in that scenario.
He's better than McMullen

Yeah, but nobody likes you.

QuotePeerless Price: Not Expected to Make the Cut
RotoWire.com Staff - RotoWire.com
Monday, August 29, 2005
Update: Price is not expected to make the Falcons final roster, The Sports Xchange reports.
Recommendation: Price did not play in the Falcons fourth preseason game because of a concussion and a rib injury. Undrafted rookie Cole Magner filled in for him and looks to have taken his spot on the depth chart. The pecking order currently has Michael Jenkins first, Dez White second, Brian Finneran third, Roddy White fourth and Cole Magner fifth. Being cut would probably be the best thing for Price's fantasy value because this run-first offense does not suit him.
Would I be interested in Peerless? Sure, but it depends on the price.
Yes, it's a pun. But it's also my opinion on the matter. One year for < $1.25 million? I'm on board with that.
MadLad's boy Troy Edwards was signed by the Titans....

Cut. Along with PK Sam.
He's better than Mcmullen. I'll give him that. At this point it won't make much of a difference anyway. I don't care if they give Terrell a look or not.
McMullen is the #4 right now and at least has the beginnings of understanding the offense. Sadly, I don't think he's really expendable until Darnerien the poet learns Andy's playbook. And that could be a few weeks.

Pshaw! Any slacker off the street can learn Andy's playbook in just a few hours. Especially if they played in anything called a WCO before.

Andy is also clueless by not bringing carrying 10 WR's & seeing which ones shake loose during the regular season. Gotta Sign'em All! :boom
Peerlachu, I chose you!
