the 5th was included in the Lito deal if he plays 85% of the snaps, which is an OK trade-off if the 4th turns into a 2nd

macklin is a bordeline look test fail...motherfarger looks OLD

he's 4 months younger than the oldest 21-yr old ever....Greg Oden

Trade Reggie Brown for a 4th in 2010 and the WR corps is set.

Why would the Eagles have to give up MORE if Lito plays more snaps?  Doesn't make sense, Ed.

[BigEd76]

"The conditional pick in '10 can rise to a second-rounder, but only if he hits an 85 percent playing-time plateau and receives the 4-year extension (triggered by a $10M roster bonus). And if that does happen, the Jets would get a fifth-rounder back from the Eagles.

"If Sheppard makes 85 percent, but doesn't receive the extension, the Jets would owe a third-rounder to the Eagles and would recoup a fifth rounder."

so either way, the 5th goes to the Jets unless he doesn't reach the 85%

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, he already got his extension, right?  Either the Eagles get a 4th for free, or give up the 5th and get a 2nd?

[BigEd76]

I don't think the extension kicks in unless they pay the bonus, so if things go bad and they don't bring him back in 2010, the Jets got a one-year rental for the pick the Eagles used on Ingram and a 2nd-day pick next year and that's it...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

3rd rounders are 2nd day picks now, hater.

Right, so they're worth less than they used to be.

In the other thread, it says their putting him at nickel.

Do you think they're doing that to ensure he doesn't make the 85%? [/conspiracy theorist]



If Mangini was still coach there, I'd put a little more stock in that thought...

haha, from FOXsports.com

Funniest Crowd Moment of the Round: The Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders are in the house. How do I say this? Well, they're not exactly unattractive. They trot out a Patriots fan in a Troy Brown jersey on stage and have Giants tight end Kevin Boss ask him a trivia question. They introduce Boss and the Giants-friendly crowd gives him huge applause. They introduce the guy in the Pats jersey and the New York crowd showers him with boos. They then introduce Shauna, the Eagles cheerleader. She smiles, waves, and gets a standing ovation.

Was Mel Kiper's skin always orange or did he hit the tanning beds a little too often this draft weekend?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Maybe its all the pumpkin pies he eats? Dude eats one a day.

I read where he evaluated Mort's kid on set and said he'd be better off coaching. Must've been a little awkward.

ESPN's talking heads always look a little orange to me. Tom Jackson was looking especially orange over draft weekend.
