The 2007 Offseason Thread

[SunMo]

the cap hit is only 3.8 million this year, and nothing next year, that's per Eckel


but please, it's not happening.  nor should it.

[Mad-Lad]

After watching yesterdays Bears/Saints game, i'm even more convinced that the Eagles front seven sucks.  Screw worrying about McNabb, Stallworth, and the rest of the offense.  How about a defense that will hit someone in the mouth?

i mean im not promoting it...and if hes back then thats fine...but unlike a couple years ago if he went now it would be perfectly fine with me...him and his family are straight drama queens

[PhillyPhreak54]

Spads:

Well, Mark doesn't cover the Eagles any longer, so I will be interested to see how much of what he says this off-season comes true. Anybody going to keep track of that?


1. Trotter will be back
2. Donovan and Jevon and Lito didn't travel to New Orleans, so ... If Donovan has a problem with that, I don't know of it.
3. Reid spoke with Donovan. I know that for a fact.


Any other rumors?

agree.
Eric. Lindros.

Man this city is full of drama queen's.   I'm getting really tired of all the bullshtein that surrounds McNabb and Reid.  It's so draining! 

[Magical_Retard]

these rumors are a joke. not that we will but if we do lose mcnabb i would be pissed. that would be a joke. he is the best QB we have had in ages and just cause some radio jocks and fishmongers and fans who think they know him inside out and his mental psyche think he does not have it in him to win does not mean he can not win.

if we had run the offense all season like we ran it with garcia we could be playing in 2 weeks in the superbowl. he was on his way to a MVP season.

and please the Lindros and McNabb comparisons are a joke. Lindros and Clarke did not get along. McNabb and Reid and the rest of the FO are in love with each other. and for whatever his mom says here and there it is in no way equal to the Lindros crap.

i really do not get how McNabb of all ppl gets so much crap not just from eagles fans but ppl all over the NFL.

For anyone that collects those McFarlane figures, they're releasing a Reggie White one in August and a Westbook one in September.  No pics yet...

(FYI, other Philadelphia sports ones released this year:

Steve Carlton in February
3" Pat Burrell in February
Ryan Howard in May
Moses Malone in September
Simon Gagne in October)

[PhillyPhreak54]

Was the Burrell one of him swinging and missing or him doing his patented 'Burrell shuffle' where he jumps out of the way of a juicy fastball on the inside corner?

[Eaglez]

Ha. Funny that they are releasing a Burrell figure before Howard. Funnier that they are releasing a Burrell figure at all.

[BigEd76]

Here's Burrell's 2003 figure

[PhillyPhreak54]

That's about right. Head pulled out. They should have the catcher with the ball in his mitt to drive home the point.

i can almost hear Billy Beane's automatic Burrell defense pager going off. We'll see him soon in this thread.

I was thinking more along the lines of a baseball being superimposed about belt high on that image.

Almost Pat! Keep on keepin' on!

I'd just figure Billy would get a ragin' VORP when Burrell needed a fair defense. I didn't know he had a beeper.

[BigEd76]

Here's the Carlton one: 1 2

OK, back on topic with the whining about the defense and the front office...

[Eaglez]

Stallworth's gone... (that's another thread).

Oh yeah, the FO will do nothing to sure up the front 7 for next season. Go...
