Lito Sheppard - He Once Was An Eagle

[PhillyGirl]

I think they should trade Lito to Denver for Dawkins.

POTY

agreed

[BigEd76]

Derrick Gunn says that Lito trade will give the Eagles a 5th rounder in 09 and anywhere from a 2nd to a 4th in 2010 based on playing time.

Now confirmed by Schefter.  Physical tomorrow

If it turns out to be a 2nd or even a 3rd then it's a decent deal, hopefully the Jets blow next year but lets not hold our breathes (*cough Panthers *cough*). I wish they'd just say to the Jets here's a 4th and Sheppard give us your 2nd, cause injuries suck.

[PhillyPhreak54]

A 3rd and a 5th or 2nd and 5th would be great.

Still pissed about Dawk.

[QB Eagles]

Officially no longer "still an Eagle" according to PE.com... says he was traded for two draft picks, I guess the 5th rounder in 2009 and the conditional 2010 pick.

[PhillyPhreak54]

He signed an extension too...it takes effect in March 2010 and is something like 4/27 with a $10M SB.

[ice grillin you]

you have to figure the extension means that he meets all the playing requirements for the eagles to get the highest possible pick in 2010

[PhillyPhreak54]

True.

Probably put a % of snaps played in there too since he gets injured a lot too.

[rjs246]

Do we know yet what the picks were? 5th and 3rd/2nd?

[Rome]

Could be as high as a #2 which is amazing considering New England only got a #2 for Cassel & Mike Vrabel.  I think that was a sweetheart deal between Pioli & Belichick though.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Belicheck really seems like the type of guy that would give someone/anyone a "discount" deal.  Solid point.

[Rome]

You don't think a guy who got franchised at the most important position in the game is worth more than a 2 and farging Mike Vrabel? 

Otay.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I sure would think so, but if Belicheck had anything to do with letting that happen, I'd be very surprised.  Although, it is possible that Belicheck strongly voiced his opinion that Brady is his guy and Vrabel is ready to be sold for glue.

Still, seriously... When was the last time Belicheck ever cut anyone a break?

[Rome]

Well, Belichick is normally a prick so I see what you're saying there but when I read about that deal the first thing I thought of was A.J. Feeley and the Dolphins giving up a two to get his worthless ass.

QB's really are that valuable and although I think Cassel was the beneficiary of a great corps of receiver he was still worth more on paper than what they got for him.

[General_Failure]

As high as the Chiefs are in the draft order, a 2nd rounder from them isn't all that bad.
