Darren Howard visits today.

We don't pay linebackers. Give it up.

We don't have any.

The Eagles are like a couple that hits the powerball lottery, and continues to buy their kids stuff at the dollar store.

Hey, leave my parents out of this!  Well at least the dollar store stuff.

Hey, that #42 is going to be a STUD!

You're probably right...

The Poston's always ask for too much early on. And when they don't get it, they make shtein up and say there are missing bonus clauses in the contract and try to get it from an arbitrator ala Arrington in DC.

Speaking of big-names that I'm not hearing about, why aren't we hearing about Rocky Bernard from anyone? We've seen about 4-5 DT's go by now & no mention of his name anywhere.

He's visiting with the Giants tomorrow.

Well today, since it's after midnight.

I think he's one of the guys who overpriced themselves. He is in the class of Runyan, Woodson, Peterson and others. I think they expected a windfall of cash but no one is calling.

Or perhaps scouts and personnel guys think his one good season doesn't = his asking price.

Not disbelieving, but where do you see that at?

[The BIGSTUD]

I'm pretty sure it was rotowire.com that reported it.

I don't think it's confirmed yet, but I'm guessing he signs with the first team he visits.

I didn't see it on the Giant's MB, which is why I asked. I'm hoping he never makes it there.

Brookover says he agreed to a 6 year deal.

Damn, that's long.

Once bitten twice shy...take it for what its worth...EAGLES SIGN HOWARD

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Just as many people expected, the Eagles' first significant move of the free-agent season was signing a player away from the New Orleans Saints.

No, they didn't get center LeCharles Bentley, but a league source said that veteran defensive end Darren Howard agreed to a six-year deal with the Eagles late last night after spending the day in Philadelphia.

Details, other than the length of the contract, were not immediately available.

Gary Wichard, the agent for Howard, would not confirm the agreement but said he was working on a deal with the team.
Howard, who spent the day with head coach Andy Reid, defensive coordinator Jim Johnson and new defensive line coach Pete Jenkins, was impressed by what he saw and heard during his visit.
"I like the situation," the veteran defensive end said. "I like the organization, I like the people and the facilities are outstanding."

23 seconds shy, babe.
