Fraley Traded to Cleveland

I guess the Eagles weren't impressed with Fraley at G/C and liked Cole better. Plus they would hate to cut a young Cole when Fraley is gone after this season anyway.

That simply makes no sense. What are the conditions on the pick? It inflates to what given what level of performance by Fraley?

I thought Cole was destined for the PS, but maybe they really liked Cole better, and might as well get something for Fraley while the gettins good. Anybody hear what round the pick was?

And I'll be shocked if they go with only Jean-Gilles at backup G. Even Spads has been down on him.

So assume that they keep the five starters and Cole, Justice, Gilles, and McCoy - that leaves them with 4 rookies off the bench and 3 interior starters with a combined 29 games played among them. It's great that they've got a lot of young talent they like, but the lack of experience along the line now is definitely a concern.

Okay, never mind, now it's clear that the Fraley trade, making room for Cole was worth it:

According to Spadaro:

Quotehe [Cole] has a little something, something in him.

Cole fargs bitches up as goal line FB though.

The BIGSTUD · September 02, 2006, 03:02:10 PM

Spads said another trade might be coming, he'll update when he can release it.

MadMarchHare · September 02, 2006, 03:06:41 PM

Again, I think you guys are missing an important point here. No way they only go with Jean-Gillis as G depth. They now have to keep 10 OL.

ryan moats and a draft pick for a more capable rb is my guess

The BIGSTUD · September 02, 2006, 03:08:26 PM

Spads said it's not major. That would classify as major.

It could be Rayburn for a pick.

MadMarchHare · September 02, 2006, 03:09:26 PM

Do you just pick names out of a hat, or did the tea leaves tell you that? Rayburn's going nowhere.

The BIGSTUD · September 02, 2006, 03:12:00 PM

and yesterday Fraley was going nowhere too.

One thing in common is there have been rumored trades with both players.

From the AR Press Conference thread:

Fraley will be traded before the season starts. Probably to the Browns. You can tell by how hard Spads in sucking his knob. Dude's history.

I scare me sometimes. That is the same thread I played the gay "Guess Which Player Spads is Thinking of Game." I am going to A.C tonight. Don't fail me now!

MadMarchHare · September 02, 2006, 03:15:36 PM

Bull. Fraley's been discussed ever since Bentley went down. The only reason, IMO, it didn't happen sooner is they wanted to see if Jackson could carry the load, and if Cole was ready. Now we know what the FO thinks.

JJ won't be happy with a 4 man rotation at DT.

No sense at all. The more I follow football the more I realize you can never, ever underestimate the importance of OL depth. 2008 pick? Whatever.
