Eagle091 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Eagles Keep An Eye On The Jets By Chuck Hixson Date: Feb 28, 2006 The Eagles are watching for the Jets to see which way they go on their offensive line. Plus, there are a couple of free agents that the Eagles have various levels of interest in talking to once the free agency signing period officially arrives. According to a league source with knowledge of the situation, the Eagles have a close eye on what the New York Jets will do with C Kevin Mawae who has turned down a pay cut. Mawae has a cap value of over $4 million which the team wants to reduce. If Mawae is cut loose, look for the Eagles to make a run at signing him. If they do wind up signing him, that would likely mean the end to veteran C Hank Fraley who has one season left on his contract. Fraley and Jamaal Jackson figured on engaging in a battle for the starting job in camp, but if Mawae does wind up with the Eagles, Jackson will have to find other ways to get into the lineup. The Eagles have a passing interest in Seattle Seahawks DT Rocky Bernard but according to a team source, they're concerned that he may be a one-year wonder and likely won't pursue him. They have a much stronger interest in Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antwaan Randle El but want to see what his market price will be so they may wait a little bit after the free agency period begins to make him an offer.

Y100Rocks Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Fraley is still a good center just depends on how he heals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbrook36 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Fraley is still a good center just depends on how he heals. He is not good. If he were average, he'd be much improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Weirdo Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 This is a dumb move. I don't buy it for a second. The Eagles have a young, promising player in Jackson. Honeybuns is on his way out either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostic Hog Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Mawae is 36, I do believe. Isn't that whole idea against the Eagles MO to sign old guys? Reid believes that if you are over 30, you're not worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty Gut Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I guess he is plan C if we don't get Hutch or Bentley. he should be your plan A, he's a beast at run blocking then again, not like the Eagles care about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
