Derrick Gunn says don't count on Houshmandzadeh:

OK, so you're wondering if the Eagles could possibly sign not one but two Cincinnati Bengals this off-season?

Don't count on it.

Tackle Stacy Andrews appears on the verge of signing with the Eagles, but don't expect wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh to do the same.

Sources have told CSN's Derrick Gunn that Houshmandzadeh's agent, Kennard McGuire, called the Eagles on Friday and claimed his client was willing to sacrifice salary in order to play in Philadelphia.

But after doing their due diligence, the Eagles discovered that McGuire was actually asking more from them than he was from other teams.

Supposedly Jason Brown got a silly offer from the Rams, but wants to play for a winner, and left St. Louis without a deal. I doubt the Birds would be seriously in the mix for him with the Stacey signing.  Unless they don't plan on bringing back Tra, and have some plan to kick someone out to LT.....

Lose Dawk and sign James Sanders?

What in the motherfarg are they thinking?

EAGLES TELL T.J. TO TAKE A HIKE?

Receiver T.J Houshmandzadeh has said that he'd like to play for the Eagles.

But, as it turns out, the Eagles might not be interested.

According to Derrick Gunn on Comcast SportsNet, the Eagles didn't react kindly to an effort by Houshmandzadeh to dupe the team into thinking that he was offering Philly a discount.  After checking around, the Eagles reportedly learned that Houshmandzadeh's agent was actually asking for more money from the Eagles than from other teams.

Per Gunn, the Eagles previously had little interest in Houshmandzadeh.  The alleged bait-and-swtich routine ensured that the Eagles won't make a play for him.

Meanwhile, league observers continue to believe that Houshmandzadeh won't strike it as rich as he'd prefer.  As Howard Balzer of The Sports Xchange pointed out to me earlier in the day, Houshmandzadeh will be 32 later this year.

To put it bluntly, guys in their 30s rarely get rich in the early days of free agency.

Housh is just annoying at this point. I hope he goes away, like in an ocean with cinder blocks tied to both feet.
