awesome, so the eagles aren't as bad as the d.c. racists.

that's very uplifting to know.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well if you listen to igy and SD the Eagles are akin to an Arena League team

i didn't want gore to begin with so i'm actually happy he decided to go elsewhere.

still, it sends a message when a player does what gore did that could be an issue.

[ice grillin you]

whether you agree with them on an individual basis or not...letting mack pimp and shady all go in less than a years time sends massive warning signals to other players...add in all the other stuff going on and philly is simply not a destination that a lot of people wanna flock to right now...are they still going to sign people sure...but when it comes to deciding btwn two teams and one of those teams is the eagles philly is probably going to lose out more times than not...and the players they do get they are probably going to have to overpay big time for

even the brandon graham deal which on the surface looked like a nice deal it came out today that it was down to the eagles and the giants and the giants were only offering a one year deal

[SD]

Heard the Giants were offering a 3 year deal and the Eagles offered 4.

Not getting Gore/Johnson is fine as long as they have a back up plan. If I'm either of those players I go to Indy too. They were in the championship game last season and have the best young QB in the game...as opposed to Sanchez, maybe Foles, maybe someone else.

But this applies to business as a whole. I am sure you can find people who have had job offers with a different company yet they decided to stay at their current spot or accept another offer and it had nothing to do with the company but rather their personal comfort level or something else family related.

The NFL is no different. Players have multiple offers on the table from different teams. So if four teams offer a guy a contract does it send a bad message about the other three who he doesn't choose? Nope.

I agree on the point that letting your top three offensive weapons go - it's head scratching to fans, other teams and players.

This is no different then when we heard that players didn't want to play here when it was the Andy and Joe Banner show. Joe B was an apparent icehole who players hated and they dumped guys when they turned 30.

@EliotShorrParks: One safety the #Eagles are in on: Ron Parker....27 years old, can play both safety and cornerback.

i think chip is gonna sign colin mcarthy (berks co.) at some point in FA

[Eagles_Legendz]

I'm not interested in a single FA WR remaining.   Trade for one or draft one. 

This offseason feels more and more like a disaster.

[AshishPatel81]

Eagles trade Foles for Sam Bradford

[Chameleon]

this is a joke

[Zanshin]

Uh. Why?
