- It's more than a rumor regarding Bentley .Sources have confirmed that he will be an Eagle on Monday
- Koy Detmer and Mike McMahon will be released by Monday
- Jeff Garcia, according to a team source, will be the backup to McNabb
- The Eagles are interested in Shawn Barber
- They feel that Hollis can be an invaluable veteran to the DL and might not trade him or release him because of his experience and the fact that he's cheap.
Shawn Barber, the same guy whose knee is toast, is a bad signing, IMO. Well, I should say it would be bad if they gave him any kind of money more than the veteran minimum.
He's only played in 11 games in the last two years. Not a good sign. Plus he is the tool who ripped the Eagles for not being conditioned and saying that players in Philly had it easy when they played the Chiefs this past year.
Garthia and Donny Mac will have war stories.
Philly chicks should watch out for his girl too. She'll bust you in the grill if you talk to Jeffy.
Goodbye Neckbeard and goodbye Mike McMahon. Good to see them gone.
RIP to the whuppin dance.
Shawn Barber farging sucks. WTF? Depth I hope.
Good to hear about Bentley, and that it is all wrapped up.
Not sure how I feel about Garthia, he's looked like shtein in Detroit, and they still better grab a QB (Gradkowski) in the draft and get him ready while Garcia lasts.
"Via con dios" to Detmer, and a "Don't let the door hit ya in the ass" to Scramblin' Mike.

Phreak has a better title for his thread. Your thread has more commentary. I am conflicted.
I hope that Barber and his china doll knees aren't our only LB upgrade.

Sorry, sir. :-[
Seriously though...
Barber is a WIL.
Does this mean Bowtie Bitch is still the SAM?
Does Barber move to SAM?
Do we sign a guy named Sam to play the SAM?

I have the same question PP54.
They didn't say Barber was a lock. He just said don't be surprised if he ends up here. If they sign Barber, my guess is they also sign another linebacker because IMO Barber would be cheap.
what's Witherspoon? SAM or WIL?
WIL
Adam Schefter on NFL Network said that the Eagles might also be interested in Darren Howard from the Saints as well
I heard that. I'd take him if he doesn't cost too much and if he can play like he did for most of his career. He'd be a great guy for a rotation, if he can come for a good price. Not necessarily cheap, but not expensive either. Somewhere in between would be perfect.
Dumping both Detmer AND McMahon in favor of Garcia also gives creedence to the rumor that they will go hard after Randel El.
Or they will draft a QB and let him be #3.
Shawn Barber, the same guy whose knee is toast, is a bad signing,
totally agree....even at the minimum i dont want him...id much rather go after lavar in the same way they got barber the first time around...this reeks of andys god complex issues...thinking he can turn water into malt liquor just because hes him
I wouldn't mind Barber as a backup/special teamer assuming that his knees can hold up. And that is the major issue, if his knees hold up I think the Eagles are still cognizant that he's not the player he used to be. I'm guessing JJ likes him because he knows the scheme pretty well and can contribute on certain plays, but I doubt the Eagles will bring him in and say that he's the every Sunday solution.
Good to see Bentley is going to be in Eagle green, and I hope they put him as C because I think that is one position that needed to be soldified along that line.
I hope we still sign a stud OLB this offseason. It doesn't even have to be Peterson or Witherspoon. It can be Ayodele or something.
It doesn't even have to be Peterson or Witherspoon. It can be Ayodele or something.
thats very kind of you...im sure the eagle front office will appreciate it
They will when he's out there making tackles and blowing up offenses.
I officially hate the Jeff Garcia signing. Also, I will give one last hail for Neckbeard and his decade of service.
HAIL! :'(

I agree, what do we want with that noodle armed Garcia? He doesn't have the arm strength to break an egg. :boo
And yes, I'll miss Detmer, the person. He'd become a fixture on the team. As for Detmer the player, I'll try and remember him as the qb who came in for McNabb during the Forty Niner game. I think that was his best hour.
HAIL!!
signing bentley would be great....garcia would be an upgrade over the crap they had this year...plus it gives us an opportunity to post pics of his ultra hott girlfriend...even if she's just a beard.
i'll pass on barber though.

Plus it opens up a cornucopia of gay humor that will fill the boards for at least a year after he leaves.
How someone can hate a former pro bowl QB coming in as a backup is beyond me.

oh yes...the garthia jokes will be plentiful. i can't wait! they're so damn funny!
I'd be glad to have Garcia as a back up.
I hope to hell they don't think Barber is the answer for the LB woes.
I have a sneaking suspicion that DGunn is going to make us all look stupid for thinking all of this is a done deal. Bentley better come through though.

Me too. I used to feel differently about Detmer, but as of last year, he's proven to me that he's a waste of a roster spot. Garcia knows the system as well as Detmer, doesn't have any worse of an arm, and he has a much better track record when it comes to actually being on the field.
garcia is a huge upgrade. yea he's a rat, but the guy does have an arm compared to detmer and mcmahon and also can scramble. quityer bitchn
I don't get the hatin' on Garcia, either.... he's a huge upgrade over last year's back-ups, and I'm comfortable with his experience if he needs to fill in for 5 during the season....

- Bentley is the only one of these rumors that really matter to me. All I know is that I'll be pissed if all it turns out to be is a rumor.
- I don't mind Garthia as the backup... nothing close to what he used to be, but he obviously knows the WCO and could probably hold the ship together for a few games if we need him to.
- Shawn Barber would be a horrible signing, IMO... if they're expecting anything other than depth from him. I remember worrying about his knee every game back in '02... and then he moved to KC and showed exactly why everyone should have been worried about it. There's no way that as a starter, he comes in and gives us 16 games.
- As far as Hollis goes, I think that's not much more than coach speak, talking him up to try to generate some buzz for a trade. I mean, they put out word that they're trying to trade him... and then two days later, he's invaluable to the DL? Not buying that. If he's here in 2006... cool, he can still contribute against the run in the rotation. He's not totally useless... like Gras. If not... cool, don't think it'll be too hard to find an upgrade.
Barber is only a bad signing if they have to give him anything more than a vet minimum and they rely on him to be a significant contributor. If they bring him in here for cheap and let him compete w/ D. Jones for the WIL and look for a SLB in the 1st or 2nd round, than I have no problem with it. If they bring him in here and pencil him as the WIL and keep D. Jones as the SLB, then yeah, it's a bad move.
Hey if we get Garcia and keep Andy Hall, 66% of our QB's have had a DUI ! holler.

That was a rare actual lol. :yay
Hate the idea of adding Garcia, really don't think he has much left and at this point I would rather stick with what we have.
As for Barber, I'm willing to hold off on my opinion till he's signed. Just want to see what kind of deal he gets before I pass judgement.
As for Bentley...and we pray.

Not only that, the Ethnically Insensitives will probably be one of teams to get bent over the barrel when it's time to cut players to get under the cap. I have to think Danny's dragging his feet for as long as possible to avoid that scenario.
What really sucks is that it's unfair to all the franchises that handled their finances properly.
Tags = taterskins fan & season ticket holder
yep
and snyder = richest and most influential owner in the league
add it all up....the answer isnt to hard to figure out
Snyder is not close to being the richest owner.
Paul Allen's wealth dwarfs Snyder's.
It's hard to top Microsoft money.
