QuoteLB Richmond Among 3 Players Released

Also on Thursday, the Eagles announced the release of linebacker Greg Richmond, running back Antoine Bagwell and quarterback Jeff Mroz. All three players signed with the Eagles on Jan. 23, 2007. Richmond re-signed after finishing the 2006 season on the team's practice squad.

The draft weekend additions of quarterback Kevin Kolb, running backs Tony Hunt and Nate Ilaoa and linebacker Stewart Bradley likely prompted the roster moves.

Kolb > Mroz

Yesterday was my birthday, my parents and my brother got me a Dawkins Jersey, the new one  :paranoid.  Apparently the Eagles wont mail it, have it made until Sept. 15th?

Pay now wait five months to redeem.  Are you sure they didn't buy you season tickets instead?

I wish Romey, I wish.  Ive been on the waiting list for years, im pretty sure one day I'll get my season tickets  :-D
I felt kind of bad though, my parents and brother were all excited for the new jersey, and i was kind of like blah.  Either way though, its a one shot deal for those this year, its a dawk so it will be a classic.

Spadaro seems to be hinting in his latest column that Bartrum will announce his retirement this week

I thought his injury pretty much guaranteed he was done?

He wasn't already retired?

The man. The myth. The legend.

I don't think anyone expected him to return but he never made it official, which is what might happen this week...

Supposedly there's a rumor floating of Rayburn to Houston for a late-round pick...

Steal

Houston's dumb, if they can't get something decent for next season I don't mind it when they get picks in 2 or 3 years like they did with Feeley and some of the minor deals they did during last years draft. Whatever happend to Jeremy Schlecta, I don't see him on their roster.

#1754
Eisen: Why would the Eagles take a QB?

Wilcots: This team is insecure when it comes to McNabb's ability to stay healthy. Kolb is a guy Reid can groom as insurance in case McNabb keeps getting hurt

Eisen: Why at #36 though?

Wilcots: Hey, they liked the guy

======================================================================

Dawk interview:

On the Kolb pick: "The only people that weren't surprised were the people in the war room making the selection."

Talked to McNabb....it surprised him but it surprised everyone else too.....don't want to think about negative stuff or speculation.....just concentrate on the present and getting healthy....If Kolb contributes it'll be 2 or 3 years down the line...

Expects McNabb to be back 100%

Wilcots brings up the addition of Spikes....Dawk goes nuts..."TKO!"...starts clapping, says he's so jacked up to have him here....might hyperventilate celebrating good plays with him  ;D ...."You don't know how excited I was to get that CAT on this team!"

Says he also likes the "PLETHORA" of new defensive linemen added up front

Gaddis is "very athletic....new to the position so he's raw and green, but has a tremendous upside"....can't wait to teach him....gonna help immediately on special teams...gonna be productive.....he comes from "the REAL orange" of Clemson

On the recent player conduct stuff.....says that the commissioner had to put a system in place but it's not something that anyone should be patting themselves on the back about....says teams aren't going to tolerate the off-the-field crap anymore (talking about Carroll's release)....says it's a privilege to play in the NFL and it shouldn't be taken for granted....says he likes that teams are straightforward with punishments now....
