The 2007 Offseason Thread

[QB Eagles]

So the Eagles basically gave Westbrook the three million which he could have stuck in an ordinary money market account for four months and made an extra few thousand bucks on.

Nice.

Not so nice when you consider that he paid about a million dollars in taxes on it and that money is going to wind up coming right out of the Eagles' salary cap.

Eagles | Team actively shopping Moats
Tue, 17 Apr 2007 02:09:37 -0700

John Murphy, of Yahoo! Sports, reports the Philadelphia Eagles are actively shopping RB Ryan Moats, according to a well-placed league source. The team will likely draft a bigger running back to use in the backup role, making Moats less likely to earn a spot on the active roster unless it would be for special teams purposes. A second source claims more than one team has already been contacted to gauge their initial interest, but the initial league source indicated the Eagles would likely receive a mid-round draft pick in the 2007 NFL Draft in exchange for Moats.

if they can get anything, that's a win.  he serves no purpose on this team.  he is a Westbrook-type player, but Westbrook is better

[Diomedes]

Great news.  But do they really think they're going to get a mid round pick?  Ha.  RBs are a dime a dozen..and Moats has hardly done anything to distinguish himself.

but Westbrook is better

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

YES RLY

[rjs246]

Moats farging sucks. No chance they'll get anything higher than a 5th for him. What a waste of a draft pick.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Here are players they could have drafted instead of Moats, if they'd simply paid Westbrook instead of feeling the need to threaten him by drafting a wannabe replacement:

Ellis Hobbs (CB - Patriots)
Marion Barber
Brandon Jacobs
Kerry Rhodes (S - Jets)
Bo Scaife (TE - Titans)

Kerry Rhodes....oh man
