I got the pick wrong, but he was traded to Minny for their 4th rounder.

We don't have anymore 4th rounders?

Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on April 30, 2006, 11:47:49 AM
And 185.

It shows we have 185 too.

Always love the tactic of trading people who are going to cut for picks. Try not to draw any flags on the way out the door, dude.

We dont have anything left from the trades. We got 115 and 185 for Hicks and pick 127. We traded 115 and 185 to 109 for Avant.

4th round, No. 127
G Artis Hicks

So, what exactly did they give up along with #108 to move up to #99?  Just Hollis?

Yes.

Not disagreeing with the WR pick this late, but I would have rather have held onto Hicks. He's versatile and can fill in anywhere.

So this deal was Hicks and pick 127 for Avant.

I wonder if the Eagles are going to be frequent traders with the Vikes now that Childress is HC up there just as we've been trading with GB alot.

Hicks sucked so bad last year. He was a rotating door to McNabb and when he wasn't, it was because he was holding and was called for it. Even Phreak, who LOVED Artis, admitted how bad he sucked.

Hicks wasn't going to push any of those guys out.  Obviously.

He had a bad year, no doubt, but I like having a versatile player like that. I wouldn't be surprised if Childress makes him a Tackle.

He's a better option than Clarke IMO because of his versatility and experience.

I'm no cap expert, but how much money did we free up by trading Hollis and Hicks?

Hicks sucked last year and as was said earlier, there was no more room on the team for him after the picks yesterday and today.

Neither one made that much...

SD,

Clarke is a G/T too. He played LT at Ohio State

All of the Eagles OL, well not all, but most of them are versatile players who can play two or even all 3 spots.
Title: Re: Artis Hicks traded to Minnesota
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on April 30, 2006, 12:10:46 PM
Scott Young and Trey Darilek better keep their resumes up to date.  They're toast.  Armstrong, probably, too.

Hicks will be a Pro-Bowler at Tackle under Childress next season in Minny. You heard it here first.

Artis' agent is my wife's cousin, which was cool.  Too bad, since I can't get any inside nuggets on Philly this year.

Hey, maybe he can hook me up with a couple of Vikings tickets!

If you want team tickets, I'm pretty sure you gotta have a hook up with the head coach over there.

Andrews was on with Spads yesterday and he said that he keeps a picture of him in the all white uni's because he saw himself in all white last year and was digusted with how sloppy he looked. So he vowed to never look that way again and is now 30 pounds lighter.

I know SD mentioned he lost 30, but its nice to see him saying that.

Would it suprise you at all when a few Eagles who shake loose end up in Minnesota over the next few years? 

Here's hoping that Mahe and Perry are wearing purple in the next few months.

It will be nice to watch Hicks get Brad Johnson and/or Mike McMahon killed for a change.
