The Eagles Offseason Thread(all aboard the Brian Finneran bandwagon)

[PhillyGirl]

supposedly Jaws is on 950 telling Jody Mac that Moss hasn't signed with NE yet?

I somewhat know Jody, I just sent him an email to see what else he can tell me.

Jody MacDonald knows absolutley nothing about football, he has no inside connections to any insight whatsoever. He's a New Yawker...his thing is baseball.

True, but Jaws is the one who is supposedly telling him....so not sure what Jody has to do with it.

[ice grillin you]

Sign Moss!

RUMOR OF MOSS DEAL IMPLOSION NOT TRUE

The e-mail server at PFT headquarters is overflowing with messages from members of PFT Planet's Philly branch regarding a rumor started by Ron Jaworski during a Friday appearance with our pal Jody Mac of Sports Radio 950.

Per various readers (and as confirmed via a phone call to the studio), Jaws said on the air that the deal between Moss and the Patriots is not signed and could be falling apart.

Though plenty of Eagles readers are now salivating about the possibility of getting another crack at Moss, hold the phone.

The deal is signed and on file with the league.  Indeed, the salaries are posted on the NFLPA web site.  Moss has signed the deal and is under contract with the New England Patriots through 2010.

So, Jaws, either the lenses in those ladies' frames are melting your brain, or we need to ask you for a little bit of whatever you have been smoking.

Jaws>Florio.

Jody Mac has Ray Diddy on right now and is sticking by what Jaws said. Ray Diddy is taking Jaws word for it too.

[JackStraw]

this whole situation is taking up a lot of my daily resources

It's true - I run IT and use Websense Monitoring. I have to check the logs to see how much I'm on so I don't get hoisted on my own 'net policy!!

and hes a better slot wr than reggie but not outside..

Kevin Curits' stats on the outside last year.
77   1110   69.4   14.4   75   4.7   49   6   

Reggie Browns'
61   780   48.8   12.8   45   2.7   38   4   


Reggie Brown is better on the outside.

But in you're wrong, you're still right...Kevin Curtis would be slightly dominant in the slot. But if another WR is brought in, he should still start over Brown. Just move him inside in 3 WR sets.

[Rome]

Ten touchdowns total from your starting wide receivers is pathetic.

[Munson]

Yep, pretty much.

Then again McNabb didn't throw for many TD's last year.


It'd be a little less pathetic if they got LJ Smith to put up good numbers again.

you do know that curtis played a lot in the slot last year right?

[Munson]

Yes, where he got all his best numbers and that is the only reason why his numbers surpassed Reggie Browns.


Reggie Brown is the far superior outside receiver. Obviously.

[ice grillin you]

far superior are your words...a better X receiver yeah

[Munson]

No.

If a real #1 receiver is brought in, Kevin Curtis should be your other starter. Period.


If Brown's included in the deal then there really isn't much of a choice.

[reese125]

You gotta love hearing how close they are to explosion here. If this kind of reporter talk was happening in Philly with one of the players...it usually happens...but again it is the Arizona Cardinals so who knows


Larry Fitzgerald's Days in Arizona May Finally Be Nearly an End

Dan BentonPosted Mar 7th 2008
Filed under: AZ Cardinals, NFC West, Phoenix
Although General Manager Rod Graves is adamant that Pro Bowl wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald will remain in Arizona, it's beginning to look more and more like his days as a Cardinal may be numbered.

Contract negotiations remain at a standstill and neither side appears ready to waiver. Fitzgerald, despite acknowledging his desire to stay in Arizona, refuses to accept anything less than a four-year deal worth $25 to $30 million. Meanwhile, the Cardinals do not appear willing to give the 24-year-old more than a seven-year, $25 to $30 million deal.

This is no little hiccup -- the two sides are off by several million (more than $2.5 million per year on average), and haven't gotten any closer over the last month.

The question is, do the Cardinals finally give in and trade him, or do they spend $14.6 million for one final season? If they opt for the latter and fail to reach any common ground by this time next season, they'll lose Fitzgerald and get nothing in return. If they opt for the former, they'll be trading away their best offensive weapon.

You've got to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. Trading away a player like Fitzgerald is not going to be easy, but the Cardinals are backed into a corner here. The best thing they can do is get some quality talent in return before they walk away empty-handed.

Please please please please please....
