That'll be nice. A receiver that doesn't want to be there and a quarterback that hasn't made up his mind yet if he wants to play or not.

That smells an awful lot like the 2005 Eagles, so it's got quite the putrid stench.

I was listening to NFL Radio on Sirius for the last 2 days on my trip back down here to Texas and they talked about this a little.  Solomon Wilcotts was saying that Denver was the front runner because they have 2 first rounders.  I can't imagine anyone giving a first for a receiver coming off that kind of injury. 

That dude always seems to have it in for the Eagles and I could never understand why, then I heard him talk about his days in Pittsburgh then I understood.

Eskin on Sports Final (FWIW as always):  Walker wants to play here and the Eagles will offer the most in a draft pick package IF they can agree to a contract extension...

Eskin said tonight that the Eagles would be willing to give up a good pick or picks if they can re-sign Walker to a long-term deal. If not then they probably won't be willing to.

why is signing walker to a long term deal a necessity.....the eagles are kings of the one year deal...especially when it comes to locking up players that comes with question marks....now all of a sudden with jdub its an issue...sounds like an out to me...

Because they are trading for him, not just signing for him. You don't want to give up a 3rd and a 4th(next year) which is what I think we'll ultimately offer, for a guy who will walk after one year.

He has one year left on his deal, and franchising him next year will only lead to the same issues as are in GB.

my point is that they will not wanna give up the necessary picks for him and will blame it on the fact that he wanted to much money and they couldnt come to a long term agreement

I give you that, but I doubt even Shanahan is dumb enough to give up a 1st round pick for a WR coming off a torn ACL.

I think they'll be able to. Eagles seem to love Walker, so I doubt they'd lowball him.

One good thing we have going for us is that Walker is no longer represented by Rosenscum. But what does he think he's worth? That's the real question here. Does he realize his injury has dropped his value? Does he think he's worth a contract worthy of a top 5 receiver?

I agree.  When the Eagles are dealing with a top talent (ala Runyan, Kearse, TO), they'll come up pretty good money.

Nothing but a guess on my part, but something like 6 years 36 million. 10 million SB.
