Around The NFL - 2014

[Eagaholic]

Apparently after getting hit during what was supposed to be a noncontact drill which also doesn't look good for dallas. They definitely need remote cars instead of their players moving. I liked what the rest of the division did in the early draft, and Zach Martin is contributing earlier than anyone thought. If it's an ACL sounds like Lee is out for the year. He was their best D player and Henry Melton might have been their second, and I've read that his rehab is not going well.

from the pure fantasy/it will never happen department: I really wouldn't mind a flyer on Andre Johnson since I'm assuming the price wouldn't be very steep.  Dude still put up 1400 yards last season.

Yep I'd kill to have Andre Johnson here.

"hey andre, do you want no money and to be the 7th best offensive option on the eagles"

"no"

"OK"

[PhillyPhreak54]

Your homie Howie would take him in a second.

Chip would give him a good smoothie and all is right in the world

[MDS]

its not about the eagles taking him....every team in the nfl would love andre johnson...its about andre johnson not wanting to be the 7th option in an offense and getting a horrible contract.

if he actively decides to take no money and catch 2 balls a game then OK. me thinks thats not happening.

[PhillyPhreak54]

He'd be caked off and coming to a SB contender

[Eagles_Legendz]

his issue seems to be the texans sucking.  plus he would have huge #s here -- the offense is going to get its numbers.  I think he's too old for them to target him & they just drafted two receivers, but I would still love it.

[MDS]

he would not be paid much of anything. the eagles have zero interest in handing out big contracts to old possession receivers that they dont want or need. if maclin, coop or matthews gets injured that tune will change.

it literally makes zero sense...no idea what youre even bringing it up. they arent doing it and its not even feasible.
