With the McNabb injury and only having two active QBs, they have to make a decision on who to bring in this week. During Reid's PC he was asked about Feeley and he did not commit to him. But he seemed to hint that other teams were sniffing around him as well, which lead up to a question about whether AJ would prefer to go to a club with a long term option versus only being on the Eagles for a couple weeks, which he didn't really answer.
Reid also mentioned them looking at the OL situation, which I guess meant adding another OL depending on what the deal is with Andrews.
He professed his undying love and support for Kolb. He said he will be the guy while McNabb is out. So if AJ is not going to take the job (if offered), they will have to make a move.
Also, if they activate Vick so he can practice they would have to cut another person. SO who would the two cuts be?
Candidates:
Reggie Brown
Eldra Buckley
Antonio Dixon
Sean Jones (but with Demps hurting, I doubt it)
Dmitri Patterson (starting gunner)
Moise Fokou
Mike McGlynn
They could also put Andrews on IR...
So Baskett is being shopped and if no takers are found, apparently he will be cut?
Like the Garcia signing, that mildly surprises me. Baskett plays STs well unlike Reggie Brown.
What does joe banner covet..... Look at the cap #'s phreak
Yep, because cutting Cheggie will cost Joe $4M.
Maybe they won't cut Baskett or Brown, they just figure that they have value so that is why they are trying to trade one of them.
baskett is obviously expendable...not sure if having garcia is more valuable than having him, but at worst its a wash..obviously getting rid of reggie would be better, but really only so i still have the chance to bump into kenda during a tailgate

well looks like this got answered.
They will still have to cut/IR someone else to make room for Vick to start practicing.
Will Jeffy only be here one week?
Vick activated; Hank and Kendra released.
thank god...if i never hear about hank baskett again it will be to soon
and how awful is he when theyd rather have a 6th round rookie
I heard Hank Baskett was faster than Munson.
Barely.
how bad does that make billy mcmullen?
I don't understand the release.
He plays STs, Reggie doesn't.

no matter how many times we tell you, Banner loves his money more than winning.
I keep forgetting. I know I shouldn't, but its hard to ignore the actual football side of things.
Joey B $trike$ again
QuoteDerrick Johnson quietly demoted
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 15, 2009 4:02 PM ET
Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson has been a productive player since being selected in the first-round of the 2005 NFL Draft, but far from dominant.
Like many Chiefs fans, the new Kansas City coaching staff wants more out of Johnson after they demoted him from the team's starting lineup during Week One against the Ravens.
It's not like Kansas City is deep at linebacker, especially after releasing Zach Thomas. The team started Demorrio Williams and Corey Mays at inside linebacker, and rotated Johnson into the mix.
Johnson has taken the news well, supporting the coaching decisions, and speaking about the improvements he needs to make, even returning an interception 70 yards against the Ravens.
The demotion is a sign that Johnson isn't in G.M. Scott Pioli's long-term plans as the organization transitions to a 3-4 defense.
Johnson is a free agent at the end of the year, and could still be an attractive piece for a 4-3 team needing a young player with plenty of starting experience.
GET x 1000
I'm still a big fan also, loved him back as #11 for Texas
Colts and Baskett agree in terms to a 1 year deal.

Should work out pretty well for him there.
The just showed Reggie Brown on DNL pissing and moaning about not playing at all. Said he "doesn't know" why he's not playing. It might be because you drop half the shtein thrown to you, dickhead.
Should have kept Baskett.
He ain't ballin' because he can't play STs. And because he is inconsistent as a receiver. If he put forth his energy into playing rather than bitching, we'd see some serious Esteban Cheggie Brownsonochocinco shtein goin' on.
He is a superior receiver to Baskett, but that doesn't mean shtein
they both have the same problem...moreso hank but neither can get opn in the nfl...period
reggie is a horrible route runner

Paul Domowitch: Making cents of Brown situation
By Paul Domowitch
Philadelphia Daily News
Daily News Sports Columnist
The Eagles are caught between a rock and a hard place with Reggie Brown.
Because of the contract extension the wide receiver signed in November 2006, the team can't afford to trade him and can't afford to release him. That's why he is still an Eagle.
Brown's deal, which runs through 2014, includes $7.3 million in bonus proration over the next 4 years, according to sources familiar with the contract. If the Eagles trade or release him, all of that $7.3 million, minus his $844,000 base salary for this year, would get accelerated into the Eagles' 2009 cap.
According to league sources, the Eagles have about $9 million in cap space. Brown's 2009 cap number is $3.2 million, including $2.35 million in bonus proration.
In previous years, if you released a player with bonus proration left on his contract, you absorbed the prorated amount for just that year, with the remaining proration charged to the following year's cap.
But because of the possibility of 2010 being an uncapped year, the rules have changed a bit. Bonus prorations of released players are being treated the same way as those of traded players.
The Eagles have received several inquiries from teams in recent weeks about Brown's availability, but have been reluctant to pull the trigger on a trade because of the cap hit they'd have to take. Same thing with releasing him. So he sits.
He wasn't even activated for last week's game against Carolina. When the team needed roster space to sign quarterback Jeff Garcia, it dumped another wideout, Hank Baskett, rather than Brown, even though Baskett played last week and, unlike Brown, can contribute on special teams.
There were no cap consequences for releasing Baskett, who signed a 1-year, $1.5 million deal in the offseason.
"I don't know about Hank's contract," Brown said yesterday, when asked if he thought that's why Baskett got released rather than him. "I don't even know about my contract."
He might want to call his agent and find out.
Brown's cap numbers and base salaries for the final 5 years of his deal: 2010, $3 million, $1.2 million; 2011, $2.8 million, $1.3 million; 2012, $3.4 million, $1.7 million; 2013, $3.2 million (all salary); 2014, $3.8 million (also all salary).
Because of the fairly low base salaries in 2010 and 2011 for a player with his experience, his deal clearly would be a favorable one for any team that traded for him. All they would be responsible for is his 2009 base of $844,000 plus his subsequent salaries for as long as he was with the team. That's not the problem.
But as long as the Eagles refuse to trade or release him and refuse to play him, Brown essentially is the NFL's version of A Man Without a Country.
"You just try to stay positive," he said. "You try as hard as you can and you keep working hard. Even a rose can grow out of piles of [bleep]. Why can't I?"
While he frequently has been the butt of talk-show jokes, the truth is Brown is not a bad player. He proved that in his first three seasons with the Eagles when he caught 150 balls. If they released him, he would have no trouble finding another job. If they released him.
"I just want to play," he said. "I think I'll get an opportunity to play here, and make the best of it. I've been dealing with [not playing] since last year.
"I can't sit around and hope and wish. I've just got to go out there and make something happen."
lol cap hit. what a bunch of dorks.
Is Reggie saying that a rose is going to grow out of him? I'm confused.
