Lito Sheppard - He Once Was An Eagle

[Rome]

i don't want a piece of shtein like cockman jones on any team i'm cheering for.  i don't care if the guy raped his dog, though.  the thing with him is not only is he a piece of shtein as a human being, he's also wildly overrated as a football player.

[ice grillin you]

pacman for a 4th rounder...hell yeah id do it...whats the negative in that?


if im buffalo i dont do it because the upside isnt big enough....but if im dallas who was a couple games away from the superbowl and returns a very good team...or im the eagles and in my mind a contender then short of a mike ditka type trade i pull the trigger on anything and everything to win a superbowl

With all this talk of Dallas or Washington trying (apparently very, very hard) to add one of the uber-stud WRs, I would hope the Birds are looking at keeping Lito as a contingency plan. If Dallas winds up with Roy Williams plus T.O and Crayton, Washington finagles CJ or Boldin to pair with Santana Moss, and Steve Smith continues to emerge in NY along with Plax, I'd sure as farg hope the Birds, with no definite #1 veteran WRs left, would do everything possible to counter the stacked WR cores in the East with an equally stacked backfield. If Dallas pulls off the Roy Williams deal, Pacman gets reinstated, they could be unbelievably good. The Birds most likely will deal Lito away for dick, pick an OT of the future, and pretty much stand pat. Might turn into a nightmare of a season, staring way up at Dallas.

Also, if the reports of the Eagles probing every possible trade (Allen, Boldin, Fitz, Johnson, etc.) leading with "Hey, you can have Lito - please!" are true, it'll do wonders for his value.

Can you tell me how you know Pacman is even going to be reinstated? 

because he's a multiple felon, violent woman beater and abuser with a serious attitude problem.

The NFL cant afford to lose that--they have a reputation on the line here

in 30 games played, he has 4 picks, 1 FF, 1 sack, 23 passes defended, and 5 total touchdowns

i wouldn't call that overrated, he's a real good player

[hbionic]

they may have the talent

but we have the morals!

Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that Tampa Bay has become the frontrunner for Lito Sheppard.
Glazer reports that Sheppard was visiting with the Buccaneers on Wednesday, and that a trade could go down by Saturday. He speculates that it will take at least a second round pick to get a deal done, and the Bucs have the 21st (52nd overall) pick in the second round.

Would you guys be happy with a late 2nd? I'm not so sure.

[ice grillin you]

thats about the most you could expect so yes i would be fine with that

[The BIGSTUD]

Hopefully this motivates the Rams to up their offer for their high 2nd rounder.

[reese125]

so Tampa is going to give us Mark Clayton or Stovall with that pick? Christ I'd rather have 47 yr old Galloway

Throw in Greg White I might do it

[Rome]

thrown in garcia and give them mcnabb and we have a deal, baby.

[Magical_Retard]

i know what they are doing...

taking the 52nd and then they will package that together with their other 2nd round pick and BAM roy williams is ours.

I would hate everything about that trade.  I've been adomant about it since the moment the Eagles signed Samuel......if they trade Lito for picks and don't find a way to give McNabb another weapon on offense, then it simply means that they are giving up on winning a SB with McNabb and are trying to reload so they can show McNabb the door and not have to go through a rebuilding phase with Kolb.  

[Magical_Retard]

i dont know how real the attempts to acquire fitz and moss were but at this point it really seems like they want to rebuild while making a half hearted run with mcnabb.

if he gets them to the playoffs good. if he gets hot and the team makes a run like the giants did even better. but actually trying to reload for this coming season i dont think they are as much interested.

if he fails or gets injured again they will be more than justified to show him the door through a trade.

[Sgt PSN]

I think that with all the crap that McNabb has had to deal with since being drafted......the boo's, the inept recievers, the inept playcalling, etc, etc, etc, this franchise owes it to him to go out and assemble the best possible team that money can buy and give him a legit shot and winning a superbowl. 

He's been in the NFL for 9 years.  8 of those years the Eagles were quite frugal during the offseason, especially when it came to recievers.  The 1 year they decided to open up the checkbook, what happened?  Super Bowl.

Do what it takes.  Get him some playmakers.  And farg the Kevin Kolb era.

I agree. You could argue that the Eagles are just delusional and really think their WRs are good enough, but that all went out the door once they pursued Moss and Fitzgerald. They know they needed one.
