Re-signing vital players is most important to Eagles
The Delaware County Times, PA - 2 hours ago
The Eagles are more interested in re-signing their players than going nuts in free agency, according to an NFL source. Even with the recent wave of veteran cuts, there’s not much in free agency other than, well, Donte’ Stallworth and quarterback Jeff Garcia, who helped spark the Eagles within a touchdown of playing for the conference championship last season.

When free agency heats up today they finally will realize what the market is for a turbo-charged wide receiver with hamstring issues and a 37-year-old quarterback who went 6-2 as a starter.

Okay, so the Eagles plan to shop conservatively... so who DO they go after?

[njpsufan]

Guess it depends on how much they have to spend. They usually have pretty good cap space. Garcia is gone to Bucs so I guess they will make Stallworth an offer, but they will not bust the bank for him. He has some great numbers, but a long history of injury. Of course he is the only good WR out there, but the Birds front office does not over spend... well $12.5M to Juqua Thomas is normal for a back-up D lineman right ??!!??
They need a LB and some DB, I think.

[njpsufan]

Well with Hood gone that means a DB will be our 1st rd pick. Not a great class and with us picking 27th it does not look great. Revies from Pitt or McCauley from Fresno, neither of whom I like. Revies played BIG EAST agst Rutgers, Louisville and WVU , while I am hard pressed to think who did Fresno play. Perhaps a LB at this spot would be better for us.

Wat happend to Hood?

[njpsufan]

He signed with Ariz or someone like that. Not sure who exactly, but he is gone. He wanted starter money and he was only our #3 guy so time to move on... like Al Harris a few years ago.

Who do u guys think is going to replace Stallworth, and michael lewis

[njpsufan]

Well Michael Lewis had lost his starting job so no need rush to find a back-up safety. Look to find someone in the draft you can groom. Stallworth will be tougher. There are no true #1 receivers out there so go with what we got, try and find someone who fits our system and above all, CAN CATCH and stay healthy. See what you can find in the draft. Always good players in the draft. What rd did Jerry Rice go in??? Not the 1st I'm sure, so do our homework.
