The Eagles have liked him for 2 years now.  Hopefully it gets done and he isn't asking for huge money.....

Screw the money.  Seriously.  Kearse is wildly overpaid by the Eagles.  Anthony Weaver just got ridiculous money to sign with Houston.  You better believe that Howard is seeing dollar signs in his future, despite his injury last season, and if the Eagles aren't prepared to pony up the dough, someone else with 8 figures of cap room (almost every team) will.

In short, when it comes to talking money with Howard, Joe Banner had better just step out of the room for a moment so the deal can get done.

Howard is the only impact DE left on the market as far as I can tell.   Hope Banner gets the deal done asap.

The taterskins and their fans undoubtedly think Andre Carter is better.

And here's my prediction: If Howard leaves town without a contract today, he's not going to sign here. You heard it here first.

Thank you, Nostradumbass.

:D

I call em like I see em. Tell me when an FA has ever left town only to sign a deal later.

From Spew:

QuoteWe're having a 3 p.m. show so you all can vent. And Howard will be made available. I don't know at this point if he will have signed.

I'd call that semi-encouraging.

PoopyfaceMcGee

Not really.  If they can't work out a deal, he'll just give the boilerplate about really liking what he saw but wanting to visit a few more places before he makes his final decision... etc etc.

dont let that shorty leave the novacare without a contract.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Diomedes

I gotta believe the fools in charge of these things aren't dumb enough to call in the media so they can explain how they failed to sign Howard.

For the love of God if I login later and he has signed with someone else I'll need medication.

[yesterday] I think Howard's a done deal.  No way he gets away. [/yesterday]
