As rumors continue to swirl about Randy Moss, with the latest involving the Minnesota Vikings, a cheaper option is drawing a lot of attention around the league. Javon Walker apparently has ten teams interested in his services: the 49ers, Bills, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Panthers, Raiders, Redskins, and Vikings. Notice thats the entire NFC East going after the oft-injured wide receiver.

Yeah, I'm still bitter.
EAGLES, 'SKINS OUT OF WALKER SWEEPSTAKES
A league source tells us that the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins are no longer among the teams interested in acquiring the services of receiver Javon Walker.
There's a suspicion that Walker's agent is puffing in this regard, overstating to the media the interest in the player in an effort to create a market for him.
Walker was traded from the Packers to the Broncos in 2006, and was released recently in order to avoid a significant roster bonus.

The Eagles definately know who their getting and are now either weighing other options like Moss who they probobly thought would be signed by New England by now. It's a possibility (Moss), but I think the front office learned a big lesson in 2006 when they struck a deal with Center LeCharles Bentley after all the time they wasted in talks, Bentley commited but didn't sign the contract and used their offer to negotiate a deal in his home town, which he wanted all along (I'm F@#king glad he blew his knee out and hasn't played since "F" HIM). Moss is all over the board talking about wanting to play for everyone, now he's talking about him and Culpepper joining up again.
That hole thing scare's me, that would suck if we brought him in and struck a deal just to have him go back to New England and renegotiate a better deal knowing all along what he was going to do (Not one team has talked about meeting with him). I definately think they already know who their getting in a trade and are now looking to lesson the blow in the draft by trading other players, but it's going to be a big name (huge). Maybe Fitz (we're all hoping) because no matter what Arizona can't afford to give him the 14 million this year and 15 million next year, they won't be able to compete .
Prior to signing Asante Samuel and the DE from Oakland all reports had the Eagles just over $32 million under the salery cap. Sorry for rambling (I'm Juiced), but I think the Eagles are going to make one or two more moves prior to the draft one being huge and the other maybe moving players and picks for the draft. WAIT AND SEE, IT'S TO QUITE IN THE FRONT OFFICE!!!!
