Skins4ever1 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 From Philly Sports Insider Larry Fitzgerald: I have heard the Eagles are in discussions with AZ on a Package that would include Lito Sheppard, Winston Justice & a pick or two, but AZ still wants to get a new deal done with Fitzgerald, especially after losing out on Alan Faneca to the Jets. http://phillysportsinsider.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure-this will be a BIG upgrade for their O, but now-they don't have much depth on the OL and secondary(and the Eagles sure could use their first day pick or 2).

Do you realize the contract he brings with him? HE also said he would only play for a few teams and Philly was one of them. Not the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a terrible thing for the rest of the NFCE. Sheppard has already been replaced, Winston Justice was DESTROYED by Osi and they have an abundance of draft picks. Fitz in Philly automatically makes them a Superbowl threat in my opinion. Larry Fitz, Kevin Curtis, Reggie Brown? That's an amazing recieving corp.

Oldskool Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Won't happen. Not even the Eagles can absorb his monster cap hit and there is no way that Fitz would restructure to give that much cash up. Not to mention the hit that the Cards would take in dead money. This has all been talked about before in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysSaintsFan Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Dang, do you know what rds exactly thanks!!! Not sure-but they only have their #19 in round 1. As we all know, Reid sits his rookies in their first year(i.e. Gocong was put on IR for a not-so-major injury in '06). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice's natural position is at RT(why Reid thought he could transition him to LT was pretty surprising). With that being said-the Eagles will get the Pats treatment this upcoming season-the media will already be crowning them SB43 Champs way before the game even gets played. You watch it.

You watch it. GCobb just said that the Eagles and Cards have been working on this trade for 2 WEEKS. Anyways, they already have a "deal" ready for Fitz who has agreed to redo his deal. He would get a HUGE signing bonus, sign for 7-8 years spread the bonus out over time and make his base around 3-4m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Why is that? Because this would be the single biggest acquisition of the FA period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoBob Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Any deal would have to payout $31M over the next two years or he won't consider it. It would be difficult to work a cap friendly deal with restrictions like that. Even the skins with their back loading tendancies wouldn't touch that deal....

CowboysSaintsFan Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Because this would be the single biggest acquisition of the FA period. Kinda reminds me of the Pats last year though-they concentrated in investing too many stud wideouts b/c Belichick thought it would be the best way to bet the farm, that he all but ignored his team's other glaring weaknesses(i.e. OL and LB)-result? Why their O was dangerous, they slowly but surely got exposed late in the season, as their OL showed alot of cracks. While the Eagles are making gangbusters moves so far, they really don't have alot of depth in many of their other areas.(i.e. sure-Justice got embarrased on national tv, but his natural position is at RT anyways-both Thomas and Runyan are getting old, he would give this position much needed depth) And with all the talk how Stewart Bradley will be their next MLB, does this mean Gaither, who had an outstanding season, will be gone? And Herremans seems to be on the trading block too. Sure-they're O will be dangerous(assuming they get Fitz), but if they get an injury to an O-lineman, secondary, etc, they will be screwed.:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorecards Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The Eagles have 12 draft picks this year. 8 picks this year The Eagles have their own selections in rounds 1 through 6. Their seventh-round pick was traded to Buffalo along with defensive tackle Darwin Walker for linebacker Takeo Spikes and quarterback Kelly Holcomb. The Eagles also have two picks acquired via trade - from Seattle (seventh round) for fullback Josh Parry and from Cleveland (sixth round) for center Hank Fraley.

HeHateMe Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The cap numbers just dont and wont fit as currently constructed. Too much of a hit for both teams to make this happen. Moreover, it should take a lot more than a now backup CB, backup (and turnstile) OT, and a draft pick to land Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
