New El Stop: Broad and Pattison?

[Diomedes]

Moulds, Jurevicius, Bryant, Burleson, huh?  Well, you're entitled to your opinion I suppose.

Of these, I'd take only Moulds over Randle El.  Let's see what Wingspan has to say when he get's back from the nail salon.

[rjs246]

Moulds would help the offense more and probably help Brown more. ARE is younger and can do more things to help the team. What's more important to you will probably differentiate who you'd rather have. It's likely the team will sign neither, so in 2 weeks it will be a moot point.

[General_Failure]

I would have taken Jurevicius when he left the Giants, the Bucs, and now. I'm not sure I'd take him as an instead of player.

i agree  about jurevicious but to me hes a and player

no way i take him over ARE...but i take him AND randel el

[The BIGSTUD]

For what Randle El is going to command money-wise, I'd definitely take him over Randle El.

I think Randle El will get somewhere close to what Wayne got, which is a lot. But I tend to agree that he isn't an 'it' player. He's a guy you get with someone. Unfortunately, this FA crop of receivers isn't very strong. Just going by receiving skills along he's probably 3rd best behind Moulds - if cut, and Bryant who has a ton of talent. The guy I want is Coles, but at this point it's a pipe dream, so I want Moulds.

Wayne got six years, 13.5mil bonus, worth nearly $40 million total.

That's just too much.  If the Eagles pay that much, I'll be conflicted.  Nice add, unwise money move.  ESPECIALLY if they let Runyan go, which I take as all but certain at this point.

I would say that a deal anywhere near what Wayne got would be absolutely nuts. Randle-El is bad ass no doubt, but he does not deserve #1 money or billing -or anywhere near it. I think we can all agree on that. I think the big picture here is that Reggie Brown is the future number one in the FO's eyes, and the Eagles need someone to compliment him, but also teach him the nuances of the game and position. For that I really the feel the Eagles need to get a guy who will participate with that, take some of the presssure off the kid, and not try to grandstand and attempt to push Reggie out of the #1 spot. That's why I think a guy like Givens is a perfect fit here. I really think the combo of Brown/Givens would be better than Brown/ARE. I don't think that Randle-El warrants enough consideration and respect from opposing defenses when lined up as a WR, and also I don't think he has enough of a skill set (as a pure WR) and experience at the position to help Reggie in his development.

All that being said, if Randle-El is getting offers based on his actual ability and not due alone to the lack of other options at the position and/or hype, I'd be all for the Eagles bringing him in to be a slot/gimmick/PR guy, but I think they would still need another complimentary receiver for Reggie.

I see a lot of people making comments about Randle-El's youth being an attractive incentive as to why the Eagles should sign him.  To me, that's a deterrant.  He's going to be looking for a long term deal and he's the big fish in a little free agent WR pond.  So when it comes to signing Randle-El, ask yourself if you want to see the Eagles sign him to a long term deal.

There's no one available RIGHT NOW in free agency who is, what I would consider a long term solution.  That's why I want Moulds.  What the Eagles need is a true #1 reciever for the next 2 or 3 years and hopefully by that point, Brown will be poised to take over. 

Get Moulds.

i just want to state something right now.....there are THREE things i love about this thread....El...Dio...and Sasha Cohen.  Everyone else can join Wingspan at the nail salon.   

[SD_Eagle5]

Guess misinformation King is reporting the Eagles will make a hard push for Hutchinson and will sign Randle El when free agency starts. Apparently he's working out with Donovan in Arizona and they share the same agent.

Also, NFL station (Sirius) is reporting us and Da Bears as the teams showing the most interest in Randle El.

[The BIGSTUD]

It's funny. Our biggest issue right now is the defensive line, yet every rumored player coming here is offensive. The funny thing about it is, this team usually always signs defensive players during the offseason first and foremost.

So what's that tell you the Eagles are gonna concentrate their efforts 1st?

[hunt]

if they want randal el they could just draft michael robinson....get moulds.

[Rome]

I also want Moulds.   I just don't see the Eagles bringing in a 30+ year-old receiver with a past history of attitude troubles. 

Fool me once & whatnot...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I think Randle El will carry a large price tag, but he also solves our PR issues.

All factors considered, I'd rather have Moulds, though.
