The Eagles Offseason Thread(all aboard the Brian Finneran bandwagon)

Ban.

Why is that?  You're happy with the way that first round went for the Eagles?

Try quadruple-checking and focusing on pick 10.

The "Ask Chad Johnson" section wouldn't have been nearly as popular or longstanding feature on .

Christ that draft sucked. Look at all the busts of the 1st round:
1 Mike Vick (arguably I guess)
2 Leonard Davis (although obviously better now)
3 Gerard Warren
8 David Terrell
9 Koren Robinson
10 Jamal Reynolds
14 Kenyatta Walker
15 Rod Gardner
20 Adam Archuleta
22 Will Allen
24 Willie Middlebrooks (Seriously? 1st round? This guy was terrible)
25 Freddie Mitchell
26 Jamar Fletcher
27 Michael Bennett
28 Derrick Gibson

They're all terrible too. Some players don't live up to expectations but are still decent players, these guys are garbage.

No, because it felt like a kick in the head to read that....and being reminded at how the Eagles drafted makes me want to jump out a window.

iirc the Eagles real target was Rod Gardner who wound up going to the Skins but they settled on Mitchell...sort of like when they wanted Clayton in the '05 draft but settled on Reggie.

Shaun Rogers is available from Detroit. They're willing to trade him or will cut him (reportedly).

Adding him to a rotation of Bunkley and Patterson would be amazing.

[Sgt PSN]

Don't know if this was posted anywhere.....it's a week old but I haven't been on the board much for the last few days.

Apparently the Lions may be shopping Roy Williams. 

The Lions will begin getting word out that WR Roy Williams is on the trading block. It wouldn't hurt the Lions to stockpile draft picks, but the front office would prefer to acquire a veteran defensive player. Don't be surprised if the Lions put together a combination deal involving both Williams and DT Shaun Rogers to entice someone to give up a quality player. ...

Rogers would make a great addition but DT is far from a priority for this team right now.

Remember how Corey Simon would show up to camp all out of shape and finally start to turn it on a few months into the season? Rogers is the opposite: he shows up to camp in great shape and lets himself go to shtein as the season goes on. Every season he turns invisible about halfway to 3/4 through.

He also has bad knees, a drug suspension under his belt, a zesty attitude, and his contract is horrible.

No trade for him unless it's the only way to get Roy Williams.
