Did I miss this? Where's the Vet WR post?

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.

Brown was a rookie.

He was a rookie the year before. That year was his first of significant playing time.

You know what I mean. He never saw the field his first year.

That is exactly what you did saying he was basically a rookie.  Which by the way is total horseshtein the guy played plenty.  It is nothing to get bent out of shape about all corners get burnt even the best in the league.

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.

But he wasn't a rookie.

He was the nickleback that year.

MILLEN 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."

BENGALS 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.

[MURP]

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.

[PhillyGirl]

Damn, lets just fill the entire roster with McNabb and WRs. Thats the ticket!

[General_Failure]

And we'd still keep Reno.
