Random Eagles Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

id love bush but hes way at the bottom of the list as far as need and thus is behind all those other guys as far as who id want

No risk on signing Bush. He's going to be an angry man after getting the shaft in NoLa. Let him run wild. Like the idea of giving Jackson a break on punt returns. Let Bush take some of the load.

I agree. The downside is Bushs' asking price for how much the Eagles would use him, but he does create the kinds of mismatches Reid loved with Westbrook and saving Pimp from some of his PR duties is probably a good idea.

Reid on Kolb

Quote"He deserves an opportunity and I've got to make that decision because we like him," Reid said. "I've got to take care of the Eagles first. But on the other hand, does he deserve an opportunity to play and be a starting quarterback in the National Football League? Absolutely."

Sounds to me like they still have an offer on the table they consider worth it. I'd be satisfied if they could trade Kolb for a good solid OT or CB.

sounds to me like part of his reasoning for trading cobb is because he likes him and hes been the gold soldier thru all this...which is effin bullshtein and should not be even 1% of the reason you are trading him

this is especially true since banner inc has been puffing its chest out about having a monster offseason and going for it all this year...if they are telling the truth then a starter material back up qb would be really important to have and you shouldnt trade him at all much less because you think he deserves a chance cause that is not looking out for the best interests of the birds

They made it sound like that played into trading McNabb to the skins, but that turned out being bull also. Smoke and mirrors, Michael.

they did do it for mcnabb by not sending him somewhere like buffalo...the difference in the mcnabb case is that snyder was involved so the skins truly were offering the most

my point with cobb is that he shouldnt be traded at all if their talk of going for it all this year is honest more so than not trading him to the highest bidder

Trading him for a 2012 draft pick alone would not be wise, agreed. They would have to get a player back that can contribute this year.

i think they have to know how bad they would look if they loaded up for this year and then the season went down in flames because of mike kafka...you have to think they dont trade cobb...but if they do they have to go out and get a very good veteran qb...but thats not easy to do and even so you then have to teach the system to that guy hope he learns it and then is able to lead your team if needed...unlikely all that happens...

keep cobb go balls out this year and then move him next offseason

SunMo · June 19, 2011, 11:14:08 AM

he's a free agent after this year, they don't trade him now, they won't trade him.

depends on if there are tags or not in the new cba...im assuming there will be some kind of tag system

SunMo · June 19, 2011, 11:19:02 AM

true, didn't think of that

Eagaholic · June 19, 2011, 12:52:36 PM

It still might not be easy to move him with a tag of maybe around $14 million give or take, which is guaranteed. It might depend on if he sees playing time and how well he does. Another knock in the head like last time and he's looking at free agency and lucky to land a starting job, and the Eagles would be lucky to get a worthwhile comp pick.

ice grillin you · June 19, 2011, 01:07:15 PM

the 14 mil wouldnt move with him....the team getting him would negotiate a long term deal

SD · June 19, 2011, 01:45:17 PM

Unless the Eagles are blown away with an offer I'd hold onto him and franchise him. Teams are still in desperate need for a QB and that isn't changing any time soon. My spidey sense is telling me they have something worked out with the Cards and are just waiting till this mess is cleared up to pull the trigger.
