Pasquerelli blurb from his Wednesday roundup:

Philadelphia Eagles: According to ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli, the Eagles are poised to add a veteran wide receiver to the roster, but it won't be Peerless Price or Peter Warrick, both of whom were released Tuesday by the Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals, respectively. Instead, the Eagles huddled with veteran free agent Darnerian McCants on Wednesday, and plan to sign him after their Thursday preseason finale.

A club official said the team already has reached agreement in principle on a contract for McCants, but that he had a pass a physical exam and that there were a few other elements that had to be addressed. Additionally, coaches did not want to release a player currently on the Philadelphia roster, since McCants would not be up to speed enough to participate in Thursday's preseason game.

McCants, 27, was released by the Washington taterskins earlier this week. He is a player the Eagles staff likes, and has enjoyed some success against the Philadelphia defense, with 11 catches for 149 yards and one touchdown in four appearances. A fifth-round pick of the taterskins in the 2001 draft, McCants fell out of favor with the current Washington staff, but the Eagles feel he can provide a solid No. 4 presence.


The former Delaware State standout has intriguing size (6-feet-3, 215 pounds), presents a big target, and might in time develop into a contributor in the Eagles offense. McCants has appeared in 29 games, with three starts, and has 53 receptions for 687 yards and eight touchdowns. Beyond Terrell Owens, the young wide receivers on the Eagles roster have a combined 27 catches.

I stg if this team doesn't sign Warrick I'm going to be so pissed. This team is so fargin cheap with receivers it drives me up a wall. I don't a shtein about TO either. Andy was practically forced to sign him at gun point.

WARRICK IS OURS!

He will more than likely take Carlos's roster spot.

*Insert Crack Pipe Here*


I'm fine with McCants as the 4th/5th option. He'll probably only catch a handful of passes all season. (25 max)

[WEST is GOD]

This team is packing 3 TEs. Buhleeeeeeeeeee dat.

If it doesn't happen, will you leave?
