Eagles sign Jabar Gaffney to a one year deal.

however, i do think gaffney is our starting receiver right now along with reggie brown.

I think he goes into the season as the 3rd wideout but by the end of the season will be our #2.

Are you saying that you think Pinkston is penciled in to start? I hope to christ that you're wrong.

Yes.  I believe they'd try their damnedest to start Pinkston if he weren't coming off a big injury, but since he is, and since he has a big hole in public opinion to pull out of, I think Gaffney wins the job.  Plus, Gaffney may not be as much of a deep threat, but he is better rounded.

Pinkston will still see 15-20 snaps a game if he's healthy enough, and like him or hate him, he does have excellent speed and will probably make more big/deep plays than anyone else currently on the roster... whether it's from drawing a flag or from actually making the catch.

i actually thought gaffney was a deep threat but considering he had one catch over 40 yards in his acreer, i guess not.

i got him confused with corey bradford. 

i knew there was some texan receiver who used to always make long catches.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Gaffney might be more of a deep threat than Reggie Brown or Greg Lewis.  He's got good speed and size... but Pinkston is still probably more of a deep threat than anyone on the team by far if he's healthy.

ALL HAIL JABAR!

Considering the price it was a very good signing.

I wouldn't go as far as Merrill but Gaffney can do well in this offense. I like how he's built and I like that he's sure-handed. Seems like Reid praises him on his route running abilities too. I don't know what everyone wants from this FA class. Randle El, IMO, was overpaid grossly for seemingly no production besides being in the center of a few trick plays (I think Freddie Mitchell even had some success in the trick play department if I'm not mistaken), Givens would have been nice, but I think talent-wise Gaffney has the same athleticism and hands as Givens, so it's somewhat of a scratch.

I dunno, I don't think sarcasm is needed for someone who signed a one year deal at practically the minimum. Now if the Eagles gave him a 7 year deal with 15 million in guarenteed money then I would say you're crazy. But, come on, put the signing in perspective.

PC at 2pm tomorrow with Gaffney

ALL HAIL!

[ice grillin you]

lol @ merrill

i love the old kook but before the eagles signed him he had never heard of jabar gaffney

[phattymatty]

i had no idea gaffney was a Rosenhaus client.

[The BIGSTUD]

Maybe he would be there with his client if he wasn't to busy performing fellatio on TO back in the big d.

I couldn't believe it wasn't butter.
