Let's hope you're right. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets gave him a good offer, and he simply took it. This is on the Eagles front office for playing it "cool" and allowing Runyan to shop his wares elsewhere. If he feels like the Jets value him more highly, he won't hesitate to take the deal.

Think what you want, but the Eagles have given up the upper hand in this situation.

I agree FF. I have a bad feeling that I' ll see Big Jon wearing a Jet jersey on the news tonight.

Jets | Team spending time with Runyan; no offer made yet
Tue, 21 Mar 2006 19:23:44 -0800

Adam Caplan, of Pro Football News and Injury Report, reports free agent OT Jon Runyan (Eagles) had dinner with New York Jets officials Tuesday evening, March 21. Runyan is expected to spend the bulk of Wednesday, March 22, visiting with the team. No offer has been made as of Tuesday evening.

If the Eagles let him walk I'm going to change my opinion of them right now. There is no excuse to let him walk. None. The only reason would be them being cheap.

My head will explode if Runyan leaves. I don't care about the circumstances, there will be exploding.

I'll see what I can do.

I'll buy each of you a beer at the tailgate next year if Runyan leaves for the Jets.

He's not going anywhere so calm the hell down, all of ya.

It looks like we have our own version of Art, or the Iraqi Minister of Information.

You know nothing, Jerome. It's nice to think he's not going anywhere, but you say that just based on your homertastic hunch and playing the odds.

Sure, it's more likely that the Eagles re-sign Runyan now... but he's on Long Island with the Jets all day today, and if they show him respect and offer him a fair deal, he's gone. The Eagles are only turning to him after failing to land their OL upgrade elsewhere, so why should he show any loyalty?

How is tailgate beer free? Where is this free beer tree at?

ice grillin you · March 22, 2006, 08:43:57 AM

im not sure if andy truly believes in all these kids...but i am quite certain he more than anything wants to throw them together on the lines and have them all turn out to be great nfl players no matter what position he puts them at and regardless if they are ready now or ever...so then he can say told you so and prove his genius to everyone that he can take undrafted and low round division II kids and make them quality nfl palyers...

there is simply no other explanantion for letting runyan go...if thats what happens

Hey, look! Someone stole FF's sense of humor!

Feva · March 22, 2006, 08:56:34 AM

I'm sorry... I just have a hard time seeing this FO do something so monumentally stupid as letting Runyan get away while this o-line responsible for keeping their $100 million QB upright, is in it's current condition. Seriously... has there ever been a bigger no-brainer for these guys? I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt on this one and hopefully, they don't disappoint.

There is simply no getting around it... sign Runyan or you've pretty much farged the entire season.

In the end... I think we will get him resigned, but damn... why does it even have to get to this point? If I'm in that FO... one second I'm getting the phone call that Bentley is in Cleveland, the next, I'm calling Runyan and his agent about getting his ass back here. Instead, they've left Runyan basically holding all the cards and if big Jon ripped them a new one money-wise in order to get him back in the fold... I wouldn't blame him in the least.

They better get him signed. Do NOT let him walk to the Jets.

If he does leave, they would need to take a shot at Larry Allen so he could play LG. But there is a buyer beware sticker on him. Can he stay in shape? Will he worl hard? He was known to slack a bit especially when Parcells first got there.

Several scenarios:

1.
Thomas
Herremans
Jackson
Andrews
Runyan

2.
Herremans
Allen
Jackson
Andrews
Runyan

3.
Thomas
Allen
Jackson
Andrews
Herremans
