It's time for Reid to GO!!!!!!

[ice grillin you]

i love it. so when the eagles do nothing again this off season the fans will be told "well because the eagles do not have as much money since they have all of their young mediocre talent signed thru 201"

no it will be "there werent any players we thought could help us but had there been we were in fine shape to go after them"

PK isn't taking into account money that the Eagles could free up by putting guys like Kearse/Howard, etc. out on their asses. 

yeah but there are many other teams that can do the same

I know... that's why I said it 2 sentences later. 

[General_Failure]

I hope Reid gets fired ASAP. I heard somewhere that Les Miles is looking for a job.

He doesn't want to move far, though.

[Rome]

A big chunk of that cap room better farging go to Westbrook.

from spads latest article:

According to SI.com's Peter King, the Eagles have just over $17 million in salary cap money next season, which is toward the bottom of the pack (22nd) in the NFL. I'm sure the Eagles can maneuver some things and free up some money, but the point is that this team isn't in a position to go out and outspend everybody in the league. However, if there is a player the Eagles think they have to have, they'll make a run at him. I just don't know what kind of quality players are going to hit the market. Teams have a lot of money to spend if they want to lock up their own players.

PK isn't taking into account money that the Eagles could free up by putting guys like Kearse/Howard, etc. out on their asses.  I do agree with him though that the market will end up rather dry by the time FA hits.  With the salary cap going up like it does... more teams do have the money to keep their main FA's on the roster... or the flexibility to let go of lesser players to free up money.

Think about it... if PK is accurate and the Eagles' $17+ million currently ranks only 22nd in the league... who really doesn't have the money to keep their big name FA's around?  Big name FA's like Bob Sanders will never see day 1 of free agency.

or they would have to severly over pay which they would never ever do because they do not value anyone that much. not above the system.

so its going to be another off season with little to no moves and a draft with a lot picks but little impact.

yipee!

its pathetic that this FO claims to be cap salary wizards but rank near the bottom because they signed mediocre talent to long term deals. reggie brown recieved a extention too right?

i wonder which young player is going to get a useless extention this off season.

problem is its going to be difficult to even overpay this offseason and get the guy they want because other teams can overpay more than they can...plus with virtually everyone having lots of money this offseason due to the raising of thw cap the last couple years theres going to be lots of bidding wars which we all know the eagles dont partake in


the eagles would have you believe that they are locking up all their young players AND still have cap room....its kind of like how they brag about having paid more money for wide receivers over the last five years than any other team in the nfl

[TexasEagle]

I still can't believe they extended Pinkston AND Lewis. Bunch of morons.

[QB Eagles]

At least Pinkston could get open to make his drops.

In all fairness to the early extensions, Patterson IS leading the NFL in tackles by a DT. Not bad.

Patterson is having a pretty solid year and his play has been a pleasant surprise.  He probably deserves to go to the probowl (or at least get strong consideration) but I doubt he will since he plays for a crap team. 

[MadMarchHare]

Hell, Westbrook will only go to the probowl as an alternate.  Which is flat out ridiculous.

Behind who?

Peterson is the only name that comes to mind.

Eagles Notes | Harbaugh to seek top job at UCLA

Eagles Notes
Secondary coach John Harbaugh will interview for a job that would make him a Pacific Ten rival of his brother, Jim.

According to a source close to the situation, John Harbaugh is a serious candidate to replace the recently fired Karl Dorrell as the head coach at UCLA. Harbaugh might interview for the job as soon as today.

Harbaugh, 45, spent nine seasons as the Eagles' special-teams coach before becoming secondary coach this season.

Harbaugh was considered one of the premier special-teams coordinators in the league. Three of his former assistants - Dave Toub in Chicago, Ted Daisher in Oakland, and the Eagles' Rory Segrest - have become special-teams coordinators.

"John wants to be a head coach someday," Eagles head coach Andy Reid said in this year's media guide. Reid said the job as secondary coach gave Harbaugh a chance to step out of his "special-teams mode."

Jim Harbaugh, a former NFL quarterback, just completed his first season as the coach at Stanford after spending three seasons as coach at the University of San Diego.

According to reports in the Los Angeles Daily News, UCLA also planned to interview former Bruins quarterback Rick Neuheisel, who is the Baltimore Ravens' offensive coordinator and a former college head coach at Colorado and Washington. The Tennessean of Knoxville reported earlier this week that Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow was a candidate. He previously worked as an offensive coordinator at Southern Cal.

A report on NFL.com mentioned Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin and Kansas City Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards as possible candidates.

Harbaugh has been considered for jobs at Western Michigan and Boston College. His father, Jack, was the longtime head coach at Western Kentucky of Division I-AA, where he won a national championship in 2002.

Garrett Reid stuck in jail for Xmas. 

NORRISTOWN, Pa. -- The oldest son of Eagles coach Andy Reid will not be home for the holidays. He will still be in the Montgomery County jail.

Twenty-four-year-old Garrett Reid was due to be paroled from prison on Christmas Eve, but Judge Steven O'Neill denied parole Tuesday.

O'Neill had intended to put Reid in an intensive drug court program, but that has been complicated by charges that Reid smuggled 89 pills into the prison the week he was sentenced for a DUI crash.

Deputy Attorney General Marc Costanzo said the charges are very serious and must be dealt with by the district attorney and Reid's lawyer.

O'Neill told KYW-AM in Philadelphia that Reid needs a treatment program for his heroin addiction and returning home does not appear to be an option at this point.

I think this is probably the first time Norristown has been named in a nat'l sports story since Tommy Lasorda won the world series.

Good for him. I wanna see him become a head coach in the NFL someday. Just not the Eagles, he's spent too much time under Andy Reid.
