Like I said in the other thread, I'll miss his goofy demeanor. Was one of those high character guys who kept the guys in the locker room loose. At least we got something of worth for him, because I didn't see him making the roster. Good luck to him.

Regardless of how his career ended here, he was a solid contributor for many years.  I wish he could have retired as an Eagle because he came in as a undrafted free agent and developed into a good player.  He will be missed in the locker room and post-game press conferences.

See ya Hollis.   :yay
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

He was def. NOT going to make the team if he didn't get traded.  That's what makes this trade so brilliant.

It was time for him to go. He was miserable the last two years here and it reflected when he was on DNL and the radio.

Him and Hugh were a great comedy duo though.

And his hit on Vick will always be remembered

Reid gave him what he wanted and in return we get another beast.

Time for someone to update their sig

Not yet, I think Hollis is giving Forsberg some added gas.

It probably just the 26 burritos he ate for dinner last night.
