The Eagles make their biggest 2010 off-season move!
By re-signing wide receiver Hank Baskett.
Baskett was originally traded from the Vikings to Philly for a roll of quarters and some hand creme in 2006. He then went onto play with the Eagles for three seasons, mostly in backup roles but, unlike the recently traded Reggie Brown, Baskett has always been a reliable backup player for the Eagles.
After the Eagles cut Baskett due to budget issues, he played for the Colts, only catching four passes in eleven games. He was mostly a special teams player, and on special teams is where he made the biggest blunder of his career. After he failed coming up with the ball after a surprise on-side kick by the Saints during the Super Bowl. Many Colts fans blame that on-side kick and Hank Baskett for the loss to New Orleans.
Although the Eagles have relied on Baskett as a reliable role player for three-years, it really doesn't mean much. Neither does the fact that they gave him a one-year contract. If Baskett blows again this year, like he did last year in training camp, well we all know the birds have no problem kicking his ass out on the streets of South Philly.
So Baskett quit slacking and earn that fifth or sixth wide receiver spot on the Eagles depth chart!

And I believe that baskett wasn't that bad as a fifth or sixth receiver.
But they're bringing in Marlin Jackson who is usually at the cornerback position to play safety. Not to mention that he's coming off of an injury.
The Eagles will never learn, they will keep on playing people at positions that they are mediocre at, instead of keeping them at the position they have been know to make plays at.
he also has'nt had any comments either that's ok if it were not for eagle thread the cowboy fans would have nothing to read since they only come out when they win. there is only 1 cowboys fans on site i don't count Canuck or Monster as cowboy fans
