Phightins Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Are Smitty and I seriously the only two Eagles fans left??? Anyway, today was a busy day. Traded Kevin Kolb to Arizona for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2nd round pick. Very very happy with the return. I still think Kolb will be an above average QB, but it's hard to argue with this trade. Awesome haul. And Jason Babin signed for semi-big money. Not sure how I feel about this. I realize he was very good last season, but meh, wasn't my top choice. Also, David Akers signed with the 49ers. Makes sense. Eagles used a very high pick on Alex Henery, so had to figure Akers was a goner. Still sucks to see, though. Akers has been here for my entire tenure as an Eagles fan. And finally, Vince Young apparently wants to sign here. Here is to a good season!! Edited July 29, 2011 by Phightins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 More news: Sav Rocca signing with Washington. So I suppose the Eagles are in the market for a punter now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Malone Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I hope the shit with Jacksons contract is straightened out. I'd hate to see him traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 aso - asante - dcr what happens? do we keep all three? aso is for sure safe, and i'm guessing they aren't looking to trade dcr because we just acquired him. does that leave asante as the odd man out? damn this offseason has been crazy. if we can somehow make some upgrades at LB and get more OL depth we'll be set. good job Andy Reid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I would not be surprised at all if they just cut Samuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I would not be surprised at all if they just cut Samuel This. In fact, from what I am reading this is all but guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliCurbStomppa Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 This. In fact, from what I am reading this is all but guaranteed. Why u cutting him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Why u cutting him? Well, I am sure they will look to trade him. But with that contract it will probably be difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballorama Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 dang.. i dont wanna see Asante go. but the Nnamdi signing= amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Vince Young is apparently signed too. Just some small hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 If we cut Asante hopefully we can use some of that money to sign a linebacker. Another starting linebacker, some OL depth, and maybe a veteran safety would make this offseason perfect IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I really don't see Asante getting cut, even if you don't get much back for him you will get something. He still is one of the better corners in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Cullen Jenkins signed. Talk about stacked... I feel pretty spoiled right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Brodrick Bunkley traded to CLE for a 5th round pick. Not surprising after the Jenkins signing. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g96/philsphan1210/Picture1-79.png For serious. Hopefully most Eagle fans will now realize this.

Lkr Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 ^meh, fans will still riot if you lose in the Super Bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I don't care if they lose the Superbowl in a sense. Obviously I'd care but this offseason they are truly making a point to go for it all. I don't have any problems with the big moves they are making and for once they seem willing to spend at all costs to win. For that I give them big props for, and no matter what the outcome, at least this offseason they are truly gunning for the big win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Finally my internet is working so that I can talk about this shit lol. But yeah I was pretty much speechless when I heard the Asomugha news. [expletive]ing awesome. Nice signings in Babin and Jenkins. Hopefully Reid and co can do the same for Vince Young's career like they did with Vick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ronnie Brown to the Eagles. Good pickup. We finally got our backup running back, who Reid will use about once or twice a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Ronnie Brown has obviously seen better days, but they could do way worse than him for a 3rd down back. Now just sign a veteran linebacker and a veteran safety (both for depth) and call it one hell of an offseason.

Phightins Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 And now Ryan Harris signs... Can the Eagles go 15 minutes without making a roster move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Apparently Jamar Chaney and Casey Matthews are looking very strong so far in training camp (Chaney in particular). This excites me as much as anything I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've both had mediocre LBers for years now, but I've heard great things so far of Kenny Ingram, Philip Dillard, Spencer Paysinger, and Mark Herzilich. Tyler Sash at safety, too.
