Takeo Spikes out, Stewart Bradley in.

Found March 06, 2008 on I Hate Philly...:
PLAYERS: Omar Gaither,  Lito Sheppard,  Takeo Spikes,  Stewart Bradley,  Akeem Jordan,  Jeremiah Trotter
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles

Bradley
As you probably have heard, the Philadelphia Eagles released LB Takeo Spikes. Takeo is on the Howard Eskin Show as I write this and he has said some interesting things. He said the Eagles came to him last Friday when free agency started and asked if he would be willing to take pay cut. He was due to make $5M, and he was asked to take a $3M pay cut. Takeo said he slept on it and got back to Andy Reid on Saturday and told him that he wasn't going to take a pay cut. That's interesting cause Saturday was when the whole ddebacle with the depth chart happened. I actually toke a screenshot of the Eagles Website depth chart early Saturday morning cause I knew it didn't look right. The depth chart, pictured to the right, has Akeem Jordan at WLB and Omar Gaither at MLB. But Takeo said when he talked with Andy Reid, he was told that Stewart Bradley will likely take over as MLB and Omar will be shifted to WLB. Takeo went on to say that he has no hard feelings and he appreciates the ...

Eagle Fans...Be Patient...Good News Ahead regarding Larry

Via gcobb.com  |  March 05, 2008
Before I get to my subject, seriously, people need to stop posting BS. It was funny at first but it's getting a bit too old. But anyways, according to a source(listed below), it seems that the Eagle fans should keep their hopes up and anticipate something good to happen in the next few days possibly weeks leading up to the draft. Obviously, the Cardinals are suffering due to...

Should the Eagles trade Kolb to a team that needs a QB?

March 05, 2008
Last year showed us that many teams are in need of a quarterback. Why don't the Eagles trade Kolb to a team that needs a QB for a WR. The Panthers have Steve Smith wasting away there and are in desperate need of a QB, you could even put Lito in there to sweeten the deal. There's Joe Horn in Atlanta, Andre Johnson in Houston, and Laveranues Coles with the Jets. Should the...

Free-agency splurge could throw Eagles for a loss

Via philly.com:80  |  March 05, 2008
hhhhhhhmmmmmm the guy kinda has a point, CLICK the link to read the full article!!! When the NFL's free-agency period started, the Eagles quickly nabbed Asante Samuel, signing the Pro Bowl cornerback to a six-year, $57 million contract with a $20 million signing bonus. The decision to sign one of the most expensive free agents, rather than to pursue younger, cheaper cornerbacks...

March 7: Rumblings of frustration are growing within the Cardinals organization over the restructuring of Fitzgerald's contract, The Arizona Republic reports.

Eagles fans .. don't get your hopes up

Via 610wip.com  |  March 06, 2008
On 610 WIP today Andy Reid said the following; "I'm ok with the wide recievers right now, I don't have a problem with the wide recievers. But obviously when a great one like that(Randy Moss) can come in and help our football team, I'll be interested." Reid also said he wasn't looking to make a deal to acquire a big name guy,but he'd be interested in...

FITZ TALK, OFFSEASON THOUGHTS

March 07, 2008
I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF YARDBARKER FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND HAVE SEEN SOME OFF THE WALL TALK! (Mostly from ignorant people) Lets wake up and realize that a trade of this magnatude is not done in an hour! I beleive that the Eagles are planning on a Blockbuster trade that they are trying to keep under wraps! At the age of 31 I have been an Eagles fan my whole life, and I remember how painful...

Even LJ Smith is talking about getting depth at the recievers position on ESPN's First Take!

March 07, 2008
LJ Smith was on ESPN's 1st Take stating that we need help at the reciever position. Good shit LJ! Hopefully you can stay on the field and hold on to the ball this year, if not, peace bitch!

LJ To Appear On First Take

March 07, 2008
I just heard it a few minutes ago while watching mikeandmike, from what I heard they're going to ask him about McNabb and the state of the Eagles locker room. Now I love First take and Espn, but really what the hell do they think they're going to get LJ to say? We all know that we would've like a more long term deal, but he was injured so he know why he wasnt offered...

Please god, not Holt...

Via foxsports.com  |  March 08, 2008
I know he's a key member from the "greatest show on turf" from back in the day, but he's like 32 years old... and last time i checked we aren't the redskins... we don't sign playmakers based of what it might say on the back of the jersey, if the FO spends #1 money on a WR, i want him to be the franchise, not TKO/The freak/TO all over again, with one and...

Philly, how we gonna fly without a fullback?

March 06, 2008
Jason Davis has taken over the role of starting fullback over Thomas Tapeh. BUT hes a rookie, inexperienced and not that good. Tapeh is gone so: Tony Richardson and Lorenzo Neal are free agents, Tony just signed with the Jets, and Neal is looking around. Philly should be interested. B-West could have a rushing title with Lorenzo in the back field, we had tremendous success with Jon...

What's Too Much For Larry Fitzgerald Birds Fans?

Via Broad St. Bias  |  March 05, 2008
All this talk about a 2nd Rd Pick and Lito Sheppard to Arizona for Larry Fitzgerald seems a bit far fetched. A rumor earlier about Roy Williams saw the Birds giving up a lot. So what is too much for Fitzgerald? What would you all be willing to give up? Are the Eagles being foolish by giving up Lito? Is a high caliber reciever enough to get the Eagles to the Super Bowl?

OFFICIAL: EAGLES RAISE OFFER FOR FITZ, DEAL COULD BE COMPLETED SOON

Via Pro Football Talk  |  March 08, 2008
Everyday brings another hope for the Eagle fans. It seems more probable today than it did a week ago that the Eagles will acquire Larry Fitzgerald via trade. First rumor held that Eagles were offering Lito and 2nd. Then Lito and 1st. Then Lito, Howard, and a draft pick. Now Eagles raised the bid and are offering Lito, Brown, and a draft pick. Tomorrow will bring another positive...

Eagles steals, cuts, and rumors

Via My Sports Rumors  |  March 06, 2008
So a lot of Eagles fans are shocked the team took a stab at Randy Moss and that they were willing to pay so much. The question was how could they afford to pay so much after signing LB Chris Clemons and CB Asante Samuel. Well the answer is pretty simple, Clemons and Samuel were both absolute steals. Yea I know how could Asante Samuel's 6-year $57.14 million be a steal.
