Lito IS Staying, Im Feelin Nostalgic!!! LETS GET THIS SEASON GOING!!!

Listening to Andy Reid at his press conference, it sounds like Lito Sheppard is staying. THANK THE FOOTBALL GODS!!!! I didnt want to see Lito Sheppard be traded. Yeah i know most of you think the Eagles need another huge ego on the team to catch the ball, but if we need to address that still (which i feel has been done with the addition of Desean Jackson, AND NO IM NOT SAYING HE IS A #1 WR, i think Desean Jackson is another Brian Westbrook, but in the form of Steve Smith of the Panthers) instead of trading Lito, we got an extra #1 in 09 to use instead.

So, im feeling very good about this season. Being an eagles fan for all my 27 years, i just cant wait. This team on paper is a special team, and thats as far as im going. Im not predicting a super bowl, which i would love, and who wouldnt in Philly? But the one thing thats got me excited is we have the rebirth of the mosst feared secondary in the NFL. Eagle Fans, remember when we had Troy Vincent, Bobby Taylor, Al Harris, and of course a younger Brian Dawkins in the back? That was a major part of those NFC Championship years. Brian Dawkins is my favorite eagle, and i loved that team! Now we have Asante Samuel, Lito Sheppard, Sheldon Brown, and still, the X Factor, Mr Brian Dawkins. All im saying, T.O. GET YOUR POPCORN READY BABY!!!! Something is telling me also, in my heart, knowing my boy Dawk, having this around him, well make him better, and he is going to retire having the best year of his career. Imagine the entire starting NFC Pro Bowl Secondary wearing Eagle Green in Honolulu this year? Im so excited! Were in for great things this year.

Im sure i will hear some of you haters and negative people... but cmon... THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO GET REVENGE ON T.O.!!!!!!! and im un-retiring my Troy Vincent Jersey!

I have to agree. I rather have the most feared secondary then a # 1 WR. With all the new additions I feel we'll have alot more turnovers on defense, a better red zone offense, and great field position through-out the season ( Desean Jackson ) . Can't wait.

Yea Im so glad they didnt ship off Lito for an unmkown player that we may have drafted...I hope he stays...Lito and Asante are HANDS down the best corners in the league....NOBODY can argue with that

as long as they make lito happy and brown happy as well then i think this is a great situation. however, the worst thing would be if lito holds out and becomes a distraction over contract/playing time issues.

we're going to have to redo lito's contract

You do know that he can still be traded, right? Just because he didn't get traded on or before draft day doesn't mean a whole lot. As long as Lito IS on this team, of course the FO is going to talk as though he is staying - just in case they can't ever get a deal on the table that they feel is worth trading him for....but if they keep him I'll bet everything they would not redo his deal.

true but i got reid speech down to a science lol

ok than you can wake up every day all day and watch your computer, sort through dozens of BS trade rumors, and can be pissed off after waiting all summer and NOTHING SIGNIFICANT HAPPENS...Im SO sick of this...so what do we trade him for now? A 2nd NEXT YEAR? If we couldnt get a halfway decent 2ND ROUND PICK THIS YEAR in a WEAK DRAFT, what do you think were gonna get for him now that any immediate help we MAY have gotten from a rookie, wont happen until NEXT YEAR> when chances are we wont have J.Runyan, Tra Thomas, and Brian Dawkins...Ill take my chances NOW...

I'll take what we got, and if pigs fly and we somehow someway get a vet WR as long as its not over 30 Chad Johnson, Ill be shocked, and the happiest Eagles fan alive...

but until then Im done with this WR talk

whos talking about WR's here?

I was?

You never know if we could trade lito and a first rounder form next year. Chad Johnson (im not saying this will happen because it prob wont) could be traded on June 1st because the bengals will take a cap hit if they trade him any time before June 1st. So they could always trade him and let the other team take a cap hit or always turn another team (preferably the eags) into a super bowl champ

Someone is living in fantasy land in this thread... wakeup DeSean is a special teams guy and slot receiver in the NFL, not some kinda godsend and rookie of the year or whatever. You do this about every wr rofl, FredEX was the answer, so was Reggie, so was Curtis, cmon, this guy aint the answer, stop convincing yourself, i really doubt there are 7 #1 WRS in this draft, so why exactly did NFL teams w/ paid scouts pass on this guy, but you... Joe Schmo sitting at your comp think he is a #1. Wakeup, NFL scouts know more than u.

Also I hate to knock you out of fantasy world, but Lito is skipping Mini-Camp, and will not be doing anything Eagle related until his contract is reworked... which I don't see happening (this seems familiar, like it happened a few years ago w/ a WR 10x more talented than Sheppard, and as I remember, the Eagles wouldn't rework the deal), so in other words you are going to have 3 possibilities w/ Lito 1) we trade him for a good player/WR (you people seriously are retarded. Having an amazing backup CB isn't really better than having a #1 WR like Chad Johnson, seriously a player who is on the field for all snaps is always more important than a player who might play 30% of snaps, and I didn't even talk about Lito being prone to injuries). 2) This drags on into Mini Camp, Lito's value diminishes as teams realize he is mad, and we get some 6th rnd draft pick or noname for him. 3) We are forced to release him due to what he is doing to team morale and the organization.

Notice that not one of these 3 options results in Lito being in Philly, it just isn't happening.

thats funny sand, that you know so much. Im guessing your Lito Sheppard, because at this point, you know more than he does. Your a scout and a psycic (declaring Lito "wont be doing anything Eagles related until a contract is redone). Wow how could you possibly know that, when HE NEVER SAID ANYTHING OF THE SORT. Sure he may sit out some mini camps to show his feelings towards the contract situation, but thats amazing that you compare his situation with TO. Also Lito has NEVER done or said ANYTHING detremental to the team, so just because something is YOUR OPINION, does NOT mean that its the truth

@ Sand

Let's knock you out of fantasy land. Who are you to say Lito is sitting out for X amount of time? Sure, he may be sitting out for some of training camp, but other players have also done that? I know that your probably in your room staring at your 85 Poster, but c'mon hes not coming here. People passed on Desean, but im pretty sure they passed on RANDY MOSS too. Although he isnt a reciever they passed on BRADY. Like c'mon dude, just cause teams pass up a player doesnt mean he is officially designated to slot because u don't like the kid. If u want ocho so bad go down to cinci...loser
