A broken rib hardly keeps you out long term.  Rest a while, heal a bit, suck up the pain, and play.  farg.

It's better than the famous "thigh bruise" that ruined his season last year.

If this was Ed Jasper, I'd agree. But Walker is a good DT. Injury problems or not, you don't just cut good football players (unless they have the middle name Eldorado).

This shouldn't even be a blip on the radar. One position that is really deep is DT.

I'd consider trading him and a pick to try and get a WR. This would open up a spot and Ramsey would definitely make the team, when he might get claimed on the practice squad. Ramsey could turn out to be just as good as Walker, and he would probably be the 4th or 5th DT. They both can play a bit of DE too.

Yes, his trade value couldn't be higher with a broken rib.  Great plan.

Right, because it will never heal and he wouldnt be a valuable asset to any team.

Also, the Eagles haven't dangled Walker in trade deals before and certainly didn't hope his perceived value around the league was actually higher than his true value to the team.

If it will heal and he'll be a valuable asset, why trade him?  He'll certainly be more valuable than Ramsey this year.  And he's way better than Truck Driver or Jasper.
Anyone but Reid.

Trading him or releasing him is about as dumb as putting the franchise tag on Rod Hoo...er, wait a minute.

Anyways, he stays.

He has more value then the other guys the Eagles have been trying to trade, and they could probably afford to lose him.

...from the Taters, per WIP.

I thought we raised you better than that.

:-D That's why I said "I understand the sources".

You laugh, but those goofy bastiches occasionally come up with some gold.

Reid's injury list: "These people will not play tomorrow. Running back Correll Buckhalter, lineback Chris Gocong, safety Quintin Mikell, running back Ryan Moats, tackle Calvin Armstrong, wide receiver Jeremy Bloom, guard Adrien Clarke, tackle Pat McCoy, running back Bruce Perry, wide receiver Todd Pinkston, linebacker Greg Richmond, defensive tackle Darwin Walker, running back Brian Westbrook and guard Scott Young. Then, cornerback Matt Ware is questionable, he's got a tight lower back and we are just working on that to see if we can't get it loose."
