New El Stop: Broad and Pattison?

[Sgt PSN]

There are much cheaper ways of solving the PR issues besides Randle El.

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...

He doesn't really have attitude problems though.  He had the issue this past year with Mularkey and that's all that's on this guy's record his whole 10 year career.  Nothing like the resident (for the next week or so, anyway) shteinhead.

Moulds is 32 now and will be 33 in July... 5 months older than TO.

Rod Smith is 36 (May)
Jimmy Simth is 37
Isaac Bruce is 33 (34 in Nov)
Joey Galloway is 35
Terry Glenn is 34 (July)
Meshawn is 34 (July)
Keenan McCardell is 36

All guys on the north side of 30 who are still getting it done and could step in and help the Eagles if they were available.  Some are... or will be.  All we need is a reliable stop-gap who can contribute for a few years.

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

Jeremy Bloom?

yeah, moulds would be able to fill the "#1 wr" role for a couple years until brown is ready to carry the load...
don't get me wrong, i wouldn't mind randal el, but only as a #3 wr/punt returner & not if his salary will prevent them from upgrading in other areas...de, dt, olb.

[Geowhizzer]

Just get 'em both. 

[hunt]

works for me!

This thread's getting awfully repetitive so I'm going to offer a new point of view. 

Moulds will be a great fit because he's only going to play for a couple more years and by that time, Reggie Brown will be ready to step up. 

Randle El would certainly be a nice addition to the team, but he's going to cost too much money to use in a back up/special teams role.

Farg Dallas.

David Givens> Randle El.

Moulds is a long shot, but if it doesn't happen with him, let Givens be the next in line.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Right on.

Moulds
Givens
Randle El

Thats my wishlist. And Randle El could be pushed by a few other guys for that 3rd spot too.

You just don't get it, dude.

The only thing Moulds is good for is a stopgap #1 until Brown is the #1.

And sure, Randle El WILL improve our Special Teams and Offense, but he is NEVER going to be a #1.  Unfortunately, it looks like he might command that much money in the current market.

[General_Failure]

The real problem is Randle El will be expensive, and Moulds would only be around for a couple years until Brown steps up. It's a dilly of a pickle.

I think that is pretty much the point Dio.

I think the argument is that there are some people who feel Reggie is not ready to be the #1 this season. Kind of a 1.5 so to speak. Moulds/Givens would be able to help in taking up some of the slack left by Owens, while Reggie snaps into the number one spot, but also be there if Reggie has a sophomore slump.
Randle El would be great to have to shore up the special teams, and the #3/Slot position. He also adds more value on the gimmick side of the house. He is not on the same level as Givens, Moulds, and dare I say it, Reggie in terms of being a receiver. There is no doubt that ARE is the answer to the teams KR/PR issues, and the slot/#3 spot, he could possibly become a number two, but has never demonstrated the ability to due so.
The amounts of money he is going to want, and more than likely get, is not in the least bit congruent with his utility as a receiver. When you factor in his gimmick ability and his talents on STs, that increases his value, and whether that makes him worth the money is debateable. IMO Randle El is not the answer to the teams WR problems.

[Diomedes]

I think that is pretty much the point Dio.

One easy way to tell if a joke you made was funny or not is if people don't even realize it's a joke.  That counts as a real good sign that you weren't funny.

But you're just one person.  I choose to believe other people will understand what I'm saying and chuckle.  Maybe just a little.  I'm a man of faith.

So yeah, about that next round....

[The BIGSTUD]

Givens I'd take, but only because he's probably going to be pretty cheap. He's nothing more than a possession receiver. I'm in the majority with Moulds.

Is there any possibility that the Eagles are using Randle El as a smoke screen?
