McCants it is. He's the Newest Eagle.

ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the Philadelphia Eagles are ready to sign free agent WR Darnerian McCants (taterskins). He is expected to land a deal with the team Thursday, Sept. 1. They met with him Wednesday, Aug. 31, and a club official said they have already reached a deal in principle with him, but he still needs to pass a physical.

What a steal! This guy is such a great addition to this football team words can't even describe it.

Better than nothing I guess.

Bye Carlos, I'll miss you.

Feva · August 31, 2005, 06:46:35 PM

We are The Philadelphia Eagles... We have more "Mc's" than you do!

MDS · August 31, 2005, 06:50:33 PM

Uh...4th WR. Better than Billy and Carlos. Sure why not.

Really. I don't see what the big deal is. How often do the Eagles even put 4wrs on the field anyway?

Often enough for Lewis to catch 25+ balls there last year. Theres also something called injuries and depth.

hkHog · August 31, 2005, 07:00:09 PM

McCants is a really good red zone reciever. I know a lot of 'Skins fans were upset he wasn't used more last year.

Diomedes · August 31, 2005, 07:05:33 PM

I'm happy with this move. He must've come cheap.

PhillyPhreak54 · August 31, 2005, 07:05:44 PM

I like it.

But he better be ready to play STs.

So, you collect antiques?

Zanshin · August 31, 2005, 07:07:08 PM

I'm fine with McCants, by the way. Anyone who expected anything more hasn't been following the MO of the team for the last five years or so. And their moves usually pan out.

If he's shtein on ST, then what?

PhillyPhreak54 · August 31, 2005, 07:11:10 PM

He gets no PT and sits on the bench like Freddie did until he learned how to play WR. Freddie was allergic to STs and when you're #4 you have to cover kicks.

And I hope his attitude isn't a problem.
