Del Valley Media Still Fabricating Lito For Vet WR Rumors?

I tell ya these guys just dont quit, yeah I like most Eagles fans want a big name # 1 guy to come here. But I've come to grips with the realization that wont happen this season. We have what we have and we cant change that no matter how much we wish and dream. I'm not saying we cant get one but, this year I think we're set. But for some reason the media in the Del Val wont let this story die, the last to put his two cents in on this topic is Times Columnist Mark Eckel, here are some quotes:

1. " After an uninspiring, one eye on the future draft, going after Williams and not letting him go to Dallas, who is also supposedly very interested, would be the blockbuster, go for it, all in move the Eagles need to restore some optimism to their fan base not to mention their soon-to-be 32-year-old quarterback and a 29-year-old running back who want to win now.

The Lions, like the Bengals, have said they won't trade Williams, who is in the final year of his contract and will be an unrestricted free agent going into the 2009 season. The Eagles, however, need to make Detroit an offer the Lions simply cannot refuse."

2. " There is certainly ammunition, with that extra first-round pick from Carolina, an extra fifth-round pick from Cleveland, and of course cornerback Lito Sheppard, who played perfect soldier last week at the mini-camp. There are also other players who could be packaged as well.

One veteran, who will remain nameless at this time, told me last week his agent told him he could be part of a trade package with Sheppard. So something could still be in the works.

You can only hope it's for a wide receiver and that the receiver is Williams (you could settle for Arizona's Anquan Boldin, but I want Williams).

WHEN WILL IT STOP??????????/

I can understand Ekels point about wanting/needing a big time WR. But i definitly agree with you Gunna, it's way over the top at this point.

As a Journalist, Ekel needs to understand that this type of writing doen't suade the front office to make a move. No one is sitting behind a desk reading Mark Ekels column and thinking "man, this guy is onto something, let's go do it..."

The part that realy bothered me was "One veteran, who will remain nameless at this time, told me last week"

To me this is the equivelant of two girls gossiping in a highschool hallway about hear say...

All this does is stir the pot....
