Mortenson on ESPN said Freeney will be a FA after this season

WEST is GOD · November 07, 2005, 08:29:46 PM

The Colts obviously will do everything they can to keep him, but with the Eagles struggling on the defensive line, if he even sniffs the FA market the Eagles should do WHATEVER it takes to get this guy in Philly.

Why, so you can change your name to Freeney_Is_God?

WEST is GOD · November 07, 2005, 08:32:21 PM

Good idea.

Sgt PSN · November 07, 2005, 08:32:59 PM

Putz.

WEST is GOD · November 07, 2005, 08:34:59 PM

Mature.

Freeney & Kearse?

I'd faint.

And I'll say it again about the Colts...they have some salary problems coming up, fellas.

WEST is GOD · November 07, 2005, 08:38:18 PM

Mortenson said the Colts are determined and optimistic that they can keep Freeney, Edge, and Wayne.

I don't see how they possibly can, but there are ways to structure contracts and such.

Maybe they let Marv go? Isn't he due a lot of money?

PhillyPhreak54 · November 07, 2005, 08:39:15 PM

Yup....something like a $10M roster bonus.

Sgt PSN · November 07, 2005, 08:39:33 PM

They're going to cut Simon.

Diomedes · November 07, 2005, 08:45:08 PM

If any Freeney, Edge, or Wayne came loose, I'd want only Freeney. And I'd support the Eagles in paying whatever it takes to gethim.

The other two can go scratch.

Now that Westbrook is locked up, I agree. Wayne, imo, is going to be the next Peerless Price, only not quite as sucky. But when (if) he leaves Indy, he's going to get a monster deal and not live up to the hype as a #1 reciever. I think the guy is quite possibly the best #2 receiver in the league but I don't see him being 'the guy.'

If no deal was done with Westbrook then I would probably prefer to get Edge over Freeney even with the much maligned front 4 the Birds have right now. The best way to keep a sucky front 4 from sucking is to keep them off the field and with a back like Edge, the Eagles would be able to do that.

Westbrook is locked up, but I'd still like to see edge in Eagles Green. Can you imagine the offensive sets Childress could concoct? Split back, both in motion, fake hand-off to Edge, and a 10 yard pass to westbrook he can run another 10. Next set, I formation, Westbrook in motion to the outside, and hand-off to Edge.

Holy hell, I could get excited about that.

Oh yeah, Freeney would look great opposite of Freak, too....

Sgt PSN · November 07, 2005, 09:12:31 PM

Let's not get too excited. There's already 1 runningback on the roster who doesn't get the ball enough. No need to bring in another one who's going to get it even less.

yah.. i dont think there's anything to fix stale, predictable playcalling on the FA market. getting edge would be quite the pickup.. but then we'd need a line that can run block. get freeney though.

The Eagles are gonna have so much cap room and so many draft picks that they could potentially buy the entire Colts franchise and still have room left to add a couple worthless Mormons.
