An Annoucement

Email this entry | Print this entry  Today, 05:03 PM 

Sure, an annoucement is due Thursday regarding the NFL schedule, but something tells me that there might be something more noteworthy tomorrow. Hopefully, I'm right.

Maybe the Eagles have worked out a contract extension with L.J. Smith or Dawkins.

It could be this----

from PE.com (Chris McPherson coincidentally--NOT)

Could veteran defensive tackle Ed Jasper return to where his career started?
Jasper, who was with the Eagles from 1997-98, is visiting the NovaCare Complex on Thursday to meet with coaches and team officials. He will meet the media later this afternoon and that press conference will be part of Eagles Live! at 3:30 p.m.

Jasper (6-2, 295) spent last season with the Oakland Raiders. He played in 12 games and recorded 24 tackles and a pair of sacks. Jasper spent most of his career with the Atlanta Falcons in their 3-4 defense. He was the starter at nost tackle against the Eagles in the 2004 NFC Championship.

The former sixth-round pick of the Eagles was a standout at Texas A&M. In his three seasons there, he posted 147 tackles and 11.5 sacks.

A 295 nose tackle? Uh, something ain't adding up there...

Corey Simon, before he went Sta Puft on us, was 298.

Ed Jasper isn't exactly Corey Simon, dude.

But you know, this team needs another undersized pass rushing QB.  Yay!

This was the big news McPhearson was talking about? Let me get my running shoes on so I can tell the neighbors

Blame Banner!

We don't have enough DT's so we're using oversize QB's on the line? 

I don't think Jasper is being touted as the answer, just better depth that chronically hobbled Grasmanis or the lip-stud.

EAGLES INTEREST IN JAVON WALKER
Posted Apr 08, 2006 - 10:01 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles have informed the Green Bay Packers that they're interested in disgruntled wideout Javon Walker. Walker who had a great year in 2004 for the Packers when he caught passes for over 1300 yards and scored 12 touchdowns, let the Packer organization know that he doesn't want to play for them any longer because of the problems he's run into in pursuit of a lucrative long-term contract. The atmosphere is so bitter that the former Florida State Seminole has moved out of Green Bay to emphasize the fact that he doesn't want to put on the Packer uniform again. There are about six teams including the Eagles who are interested in acquiring the explosive young receiver who is supposed to back at full speed after an ACL tear a year ago. Walker missed nearly all of last season due to the knee injury. During the off season before last year's campaign, Walker who at the time, had the same agent as Terrell Owens, Drew Rosenhaus, was embroiled in a contract squabble with the Packers. You might remember that Brett Favre came out publicly against Walker during the same time that Terrell Owens was involved in a similar dispute with the Eagles.

What's important to note is that the Eagles have not only expressed interest in trading for Walker but they're also interested in signing him to a long term deal prior to making a trade. The Packers have let it be known around the league that they want to trade Walker and don't plan on starting out the year with him on the roster. Also the fact that Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid has close ties to the Packers could come in handy in acquiring the services of Walker. The Birds have three picks in the 4th round and probably would be willing to part with one of them for the formidable wideout.

The acquisition of Walker would ease the pressure on the Birds to get ahold of another playmaker to replace the departed Terrell Owens. The Eagles management has been under criticism for not being aggressive during this year's free agency period. They did pick up wideout Jabar Gaffney but he's look on as more of 3rd receiver and at best a solid number two. The Eagles don't have a number one receiver and it could mean a long year for Donovan McNabb and his offense. It's going to come down to how much the Eagles are willing to give up to bring Walker into the fold. They have three 4th round picks but I believe that another team in the league might be willing to part with a higher pick. We'll keep you posted as the negotiating continues.

If we somehow get Walker and draft Ngata my offseason grade will go from a C to a solid B+

If they could pick him up for a 4th round pick they need to get that done yesterday.  It is still hard for me to imagine that this is going to happen, why would either team want to wait around.  I would think Denver would be very interested in acquiring him as well with 2 first rounders they may be willing to give up a little more.

That's it?

Just curious, but what would it take to get that bad boy up to an A?

Gaffney
Walker*
Schobel
Garcia
Howard
Jasper
Runyan
Barber
Ngata*

Those are some serious additions.

[BigEd76]

Arrington, Stephen Davis, David Boston, Kevin Johnson and Charles Woodson.

If we had signed Bentley it would have been moved up to an A-. LG/C was the most important position I wanted us to address on Offense. Howard was a good signing and re-signing Runyan was great but none of the other moves really pumps my nads.

This is exactly what I was thinking.  I would give them a solid A if iit ended up like that.
