Per Philly .com: www . philly.com/philly/hp/news_update/Updating_Dawk_Andrews.html Dawks agent confirms he is gone. Its basically official. Sorry for the bad news, but we need finality.

Ok thanks for the report. The Jets defense is usually solid, but gives up the big play a lot, so maybe Lito will help us out. Good luck with the Mcnabb situation and to the rest of the season.

guest-

im not a pro scout, but here my take as a fan...

when motivated (and I imagine he will be motivated to prove himself) he is an above average cover corner. He can get beat deep occasionally, but he also has a knack for the big play. he'll certainly be an asset to you guys. when's he's playing well, you dont hear his name called a lot, which usually means he's doing a good job out there.

thanks for stopping by

Guys, Im a Jets fan. What can I look for from Lito?

I like the Andrews signing too. He's already a solid tackle and I think Juan Castillo can help Andrews get better and I really think playing literally next to his brother will be extra motivation to dominate.

Not to mention Shawn Andrews was arguably the best player on the squad in 2007 and was seriously missed in 2008. Getting his head right would be huge. (for us and him)

Kevin -

My guess is Herremans if they don't bring Thomas back.

Looks like the Lito deal was for a 5th rounder this year and a 2nd or 4th next year depending on production. Probably the best they could do for him. I was hoping for a 2nd this year so that we could really make some noise trading up in the draft.

It is not official that Dawk is gone yet, reports are that he is going to negotiate with the Eagles further. Sounds like when Trotter tested the market in Kansas City a few years ago before he resigned with us. At least I hope that’s what it is.
The FO is pissed off with Housh agent, supposedly he told the Eagles he would since for less with them but really has asked for more from them.

I like the Andrews signing. All reports say he will be ready to go by minicamps. Wonder who the other tackle is gonna be.

I don’t like Dawk leaving either but it is a two way street, he made a business/family decision to go. What I want to know is, did the Eagles offer a “take it or leave it” deal or were they expecting an opportunity to match? Either way it’s a sad day for Eagles fans, ala Trotter.
