The Eagles offered Hicks and Hollis  :-D

Wow.  Surprised the Packers didn't jump at that one.  Hahahaha.

They should offer Hollis and Considine. Considine is a beast.

Hood and a 3rd would get it done.

Eagles wouldn't give up Hood though, even though it would be worth it.

Whoa....the Eagles aren't going to trade #14 overall for Walker?  No way!

FWIW, Michael Smith on an ESPN draft special today said that the Broncos and Eagles weren't offering much for Walker.

Denver offered Lelie and a 6th

Got dammit... now see, this is what the Eagles will describe as "making a strong push" for Walker.  :boom

Offer them slop and see if they'd take it. Ted Thompson doesn't strike me as one of the brightest bulbs...

And I would think that if they do get Walker on draft day by giving up a pick I bet that Hicks is included too. He'd immediatley be better than Will Whittacker who started for them last year. They were thinking about moving Mark Tauscher to G if they can get another OT. So Hicks would help there.

I have no problems with moving Hicks now.  Herremans, IMO, is as good as Hicks now, and could get better.

Hicks proved last year he's fairly weak in a starting role and best suited for stop-gap duty.  I'm sure the Eagles can dig up others from all the young OL they have to provide that.

Moving Hicks is absolutely no issue for me at all.  He can bounce today and I have no worries that we can pretty easily replace his production by tomorrow.

My issue is that the Eagles are trying to aquire a former 1st round pick with 2 former UDFA's... both of whom have been in the league either the same amount of time or longer than Walker and who we've pretty much shown to be our gar-bage.

This is only the first part of the joke though, because on Saturday we'll hear "The Green Bay Packers have traded WR Javon Walker to the Denver Broncos for a 2006 4th round pick".   :-D :boom

The newest rumor is that the Eagles and Raiders are discussing a trade involving Jerry Porter.

Anyone else heard anything about this?

Haven't heard anything about that, but there is a rumor that I posted in another forum yesterday (or at least I thought I did) of a 3 way deal between the Saints, Jets, and Raiders.

The Saints and Jets would swap places, but it didn't say what the Saints would get in that part of the trade and the  Saints would then be able to draft Mario Williams.

The Raiders then would swap with the Jets, sending them their 1st, 2nd, Jerry Porter, and future picks.

The Jets, now at No.7, would draft Ferguson and swap his rights to the Saints, presumably for the rights to Williams, since the Saints have no need for another DE, and the Jets need a pass rushing DE.

That would be sweet, but what would they have to give up for him?

Well, the version I heard was fairly silly... included the Eagles trading their 1st, 3rd, and a couple 4ths for Porter and #7 overall.  I see that happening precisely never.  But the idea of the Eagles making SOME sort of deal for Porter is not that inconceivable.  I'd *almost* rather have him over Walker.  Almost.

I'd say you could make a pretty strong case for either guy. Walker wants to be a number one, and be paid like one. What happens then if Reggie really does become the next Chad Johnson? Porter on the hand, has played second fiddle before, but is more of a 1A kind of guy who, in the long run, maybe could compliment Reggie, should he blossom, better than Walker. There is also no major injury history there. It should make the next couple days interesting if there is any truth to it.

That would be the best trade ever1

Just saw (on Cold Pizza) that the Pack gave Walker the right to visit teams and try to work out a trade.  They said he visited the Saints and Broncos yeaterday and may meet with the Eagles and Patriots today.
