Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

Lightbulb head needs a new filament

Funny, but would you REALLY be surprised?  If they think that Brown is dead to them and Andrews is a head case, the trade is surprisingly a no-brainer... if you don't factor in anything that can't be calculated on a spreadsheet.

So, consider it a done deal.

yes, I would be VERY surprised.

pretty much for the reasons rjs stated.

Are they TRYING to lose the fanbase and piss off their players to the highest power?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

But they would get a "star" WR.  Isn't that what everyone wants?

[PhillyGirl]

1 step forward, 39 million steps back.

[SunMo]

star wr and then they could get a top 5 draft pick, they probably think MJG or even Cole can step in a play the guard spot.

No one cares about Sheldon half as much as you do, so I'm not exactly sure what fanbase this would piss off. farg Sheldon. And, if Shawn needs to have his brother and college roommate here to have a clear head, then farg him too.

I'm willing to put up a drop a game from Edwards and a contract holdout from Eugene Monroe to get those two out of town.

Can you really tell me that this trade wouldnt make the team better?

[rjs246]

I'm all for it. Anything to promote chaos.

[PhillyGirl]

It has nothing to do with my thoughts on Sheldon Brown.

Although, taking him off the team does not make them better.

Taking Shawn Andrews off the team does not make them better.

Yes, adding Edwards makes them better, but not enough to balance out what they'd lose on the other end.

Sorry. A #1 WR doesn't make me lose all perspective like it does for others on here. My eyes don't glass over at the prospect of having a solid #1. yes, I would love to have one, but trading away 2 important players on this team doesn't make it BETTER.

If the Eagles made the trade, they'd undoubtedly draft OL at 5

You saw what the team did last year w Lito when he pulled the same shtein. Why would you think they would treat Sheldon any different if he played out this season? Especially w the money they threw at Hanson. Sheldons impact on this team in 09' (if he's here) will be a fraction of what it was last year, thus NOT making the team better. I dont agree w the FO's mentality on that, but it it what it is.

And, Im not married to the idea of getting a Boldin or Edwards either. But if this deal actually is on the table, they should do it with the quickness.

You think Hanson is = to Brown?

Really?

[ice grillin you]

In all honesty, it would probably piss off every player in the locker room, including their two biggest offseason signings and would act as a massive 'farg you, we're in charge here' to the players. As such I'm betting this rumor is 100% accurate.

stacy andrews didnt come to philly for his brother...otherwise they would have went to college together...he came because the eagles offered him and his broken knee big bucks

peters could give a shtein about shawn andrews...i think theyve texted a couple times a year since they came into the league


the biggest risk with the deal is sheldon for the same reasons they should make him happy regarding his deal...where the hell are they going to get a top corner btwn now and the season

asante
joselio
rookie/demps/iggywanoo

is a very scary top three corners scenario to go into the season with

Ich bin fargtarded. I read that as Moreno

[DH]

I never said that. I didnt even insinuate that.

In fact, I used the tired cliche "it is what it is" in reference to what the Eagles would do with Sheldon should he still be in green next year, which I thought written between the lines enough to show that Hanson is not equal to Brown.

But, lets be real - Sheldon is nothing special. At all. His breed are a dime a dozen, and I think Hanson could develop into what Sheldon Brown is - an average CB.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Hanson could be a very good player if he gets some reduction surgery to get rid of some of the wind drag.
