This is a move that a lot of fans have suggested, and it looks like it might happen. Philly.com is reporting the agent for FB Leonard Weaver says that he is negotiations with the Birds, and hopes to get something done.  Weaver would provide an offensive fullback option we've lacked since Cecil Martin was around. He can run, block and catch and is a huge upgrade over makeshift fullback Dan Klecko and Episcopal Academy grad Kyle Eckel.  Not an impact position, but would be a positive … [Read more...]

First we heard that the Birds were interested in Jabari Greer which brought up speculation of a Sheldon Brown move to safety. Then, we saw Shawn Springs came in for a visit, and we thought that Brown might be trade bait. Now, with Sean Jones signed, we know Brown isn't moving to safety. Yet, the Eagles continue to look for a corner, and not a corner that would be #4 on the depth chart.  Bryant McFadden, who started for the Steelers in all 3 of their playoff games, including their Super Bowl … [Read more...]

According to Philly.com, the Eagles have signed S Sean Jones to a 1-year deal. It is not clear whether or not he will play FS or SS as he has not yet addressed the media.  The fact that it is a one-year deal gives me some pause as that is strange for a 27-year old. My guess is that he wants to re-establish himself as the player he was in 2006 (when Sports Illustrated had him on their All-Pro team) and get a much bigger deal in 2010. From the Eagles perspective, they probably see him as a … [Read more...]

Looks like the Eagles have found a replacement for Lito Sheppard. Several outlets are reporting that Shawn Springs is scheduled to visit, and there is a press conference scheduled for tomorrow, presumably to announce his signing.  Springs was released by the Redskins to help with the Albert Haynesworth and DeAngelo Hall signings. He would likely be the 4th corner on the team behind Samuel, Brown and Hanson.  I doubt this puts Sheldon Brown on the market, as some have speculated, because … [Read more...]

Well, this is certainly an interesting rumor. Adam Caplan of NFL Radio said today that the Eagles are showing interest in former Bills CB Jabari Greer. Considering they already have Asante Samuel, Sheldon Brown and Joselio Hanson and several other positions of need, it's a curious rumor.  Caplan insinuates that if the Eagles signed Greer they would then be able to dangle Sheldon Brown as part of a trade package for the Cardinals Anquan Boldin. Right now the Cardinals aren't interested in … [Read more...]
