Number5 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Per Adam Schefter Eagles get Sims as part of a three way trade http://twitter.com/Adam_Schefter Filed to ESPN: Three way trade -- Eagles get LB Ernie Sims, Lions get TE Tony Scheffler, Broncos get undisclosed draft pick. 4 minutes ago via web Thoughts!

Rufus T Firefly Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I was actually thinking the Skins should look into getting Sims cheap a while back, might make a good 3-4 MLB. But him going for Scheffler probably means...I would guess a 3rd or 4th rounder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats pretty crazy. Seems like an awful big luxury (for Det) to trade a good MLB for 2nd TE so that the 1st round TE you drafted last year can have more time to rehab knee. If the pick is 4th or later, pretty good deal IMO for yall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus T Firefly Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Wow, Scheffler goes for less than a 5th. Can't believe that. If we could have dealt Cooley for a 2nd and 5th and deal the 5th for him........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMarco Murray 29 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 What a pick up for Philly. Sims fits there pretty well. If he stays healthy they just got a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunClintonRun26 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Sims has fallen off since his first two years in the league. He is definitely a talent though and could perhaps flourish in the Eagles system because of his speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burger13 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 at first glimpse looks like a steal the Eagles, and the Broncos should have kept Scheffler if that's all they could get for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burger13 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 If Sims is had for basically a 5th....could the Skins expect any more than that for McIntosh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 ugh, sims is great, this sucks for us. and why the hell does detroit want another tight end? they used a first rounder on one last year and now theyre trading for one? are they trying to emulate the ever feared jim zorn DOUBLE tight end set??

kubstix Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Does this open up any talk of Cooley or Davis to the Broncos? McDaniels offense utilizes blocking TE's, not passing. They dealt Tony for a reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T Firefly Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 If Sims is had for basically a 5th....could the Skins expect any more than that for McIntosh? Yes. Sims had not only failed to develop into the star they expected, he had regressed to the point of riding the bench a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truant Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Great move for the Eagles. Why would the Lions want another pass catching TE to go with Pettigrew? It's not like D-town has a plethora of solid defenders. Lions may be counting on getting McLain in the second or Spikes at some point in the draft.

It's not like D-town has a plethora of solid defenders. Lions may be counting on getting McLain in the second or Spikes at some point in the draft. Pettigrew/Sheffler gives them a Davis/Cooley like situation...I don't really get this move for the Lions. I think McClain is looking at top 15. Spikes in the 2nd-3rd makes sense.

The Tris Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 and why the hell does detroit want another tight end? they used a first rounder on one last year and now theyre trading for one? are they trying to emulate the ever feared jim zorn DOUBLE tight end set?? The popular media spin is that this will allow Pettigrew to take his time recovering from his knee injury. But again, trading a smart young LB who had simply fallen out of favor with Schwatz for a 2nd TE seems awful luxurious for a team that won 2 games last season. But the ultimate loser is Denver. I guess McDaniels has to prove that he can do everything from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisgruntledLionFan#54,927 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Sims has been a major disappointment. He's been downright awful the last three years. Zero instincts, constantly overran plays, missed a ton of tackles in space, etc. I don't know what Sims y'all have been watching but it wasn't #50 on the Lions. The Lions plan on using a ton of two TE sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
