Lito will be traded this weekend

John Clayotn from ESPN is reporting that of all the players on the trading block Lito Sheppard is the most likely to be traded this weekend. He says there are at least 3 teams interested in Lito. The Eagles will wait and get the best offer during the draft for those teams who miss out on the corners that they want. Eagles fans lets hope Arizona doesnt get the corner it wants.

thats a horrible trade. Taylor is 33, hes worth a 5th round pick at this point, 4th at best. He'll be good one more year, and then hes out, this is supposing he doesnt even get hurt this year.

the defensive mvp of the league is worth a 5th rounder lol come on now do you see the shape the guy is in?

That was 2006...Shaun Alexander was the MVP in 2005...whats he worth NOW? Taylors been injury prone of late and hes old. He has a MAXIMUM 3 years left...you don't trade away a 1st or even a 2nd round pick for a rental player.

Taylor has never been injured in his career! He has played all 16 games the last 8 years! You know yesterday you said that he had only 2 seasons with 10+ sacks, when he has had 6 seasons with 11+ sacks, and now you say this. My guess is you don't even know who Jason Taylor is.

you're an idiot wubanga...you even said in that very same post that you saw I corrected my mistake. My computer shifted the stats over one and I was looking at the Pass Deflections...I corrected that moron. That being said, he missed many many snaps last year, just because the stats you're looking at says he was in all 16 games does not mean he was playing at full capacity. Toke up another man....you need it.

The fact that you didn't know that Taylor had more sacks than that, and had to rely on your computer excuse, shows your lack of knowledge of the NFL and who's the actual moron. You state that he is injury prone, can you give me details on these injuries? If he was injured last year, and missed significant snaps, yet still produced 11 sacks I would have to say that that's pretty goddamn productive! Jason Taylor is the class of the NFL and his work ethic keeps his body in tremendous shape. I'm not saying I would tarde a 1st rounder for him but if I were in the Philadelphia front office I would consider trading a 3rd rounder. Back to your idiot comment, I could school you on any sports topic in the history of sport, any sport. So pick the topic homeboy. Knowing your type you'll most likely pick figure skating.

i agree trentcole
jason taylor is old and is going down, a 1st rounder for him is ridiculous
i thik we should affer one of our 6 and a 7 for him :)

4 IN 10 YEARS WOW

Well Reids had 9 drafts since 1999...of those 9 drafts he's had SIX excellent first rounders....I left off McNabb and Corey Simon earlier. 6 out of 8 is pretty damn remarkable in this league of uncertainty. Consider yourself proved wrong again.

we have 3 designated trade targets. all 3 have stupid FO's. it all depends on which one is the least stupid out of them. if arizona takes a corner. slim chance for Anquan. now detriot and cinci are different, we need to really blow them away to get OCHO or Roy. they have boneheaded FO's that dont realize that they have enough and Lito could help them greatly.

Do you guys agree with that?

why are we waiting for them? we should be pursuing these WR's now. and at the draft.

we are pursuing them now it takes more then "yeah ok i like that deal" to get somethin done in the NFL

I wish it was that simple. Cincy is unpredictable because they have so man stipulations. I think AZ and DET can be bought on draft day. You never know Lets say the Lions or cards See that a player they want is available in the 2nd rd and they missed out on a player they wanted like AZ and a CB. The eagles maybe able to trade a 2nd and Lito for a Boldin or Williams

Lito AND a 1st ruond pick for Jason Taylor!!!!!!!!! Yeah Right!!!!!!!!!!

Lito visited the bucaneers, reported by John Glazer on FOX sports.

Wonder what they'd give up...their 2nd round pick (52nd overall)

rams 2nd rounder is higher, no?

yea its damn near a 1st rounder...which is why it'd be tough to pry away from them

However, if the rams are seriously interested, then the bucs would have to come stronger then their 2nd and a 5th which is being reported

Apparently Clayton may be part of the Bucs offer

wtf would they give us for lito....?

why would we want taylor when we have cole???? come on out of all the trade discussions on the yard this one is the worst. look jason taylor will not be an eagle let alone would we trade sheppard and picks to the dolphins for him. if lito gets traded this weekend you can bet it is either to the lions or the cards and maybe the but i doubt it the bengals. come on ppl we've been beating this dead horse for months can we quit throwing names out there ?? Jason Taylor come on?!

OMG LITO IS GETTING TRADED??? WHEN DID THIS "NEWS" BREAK?? DAMN IM SHOCKED!!!!!

lol

ITS AMAZING HOW PICKY YOU GUYS TRULLY ARE.HOW MANY SUPER BOWLS HAVE WE WON?QUIT BEING SO DAMN PICKY IF JASON TAYLOR TORE IT UP THEN YOU GUYS WOULD BE LIKE DAMN WE GOT THE BEST D-LINE IN FOOTBALL AND WOULD GIVE 2 SH_ITS ABOUT THAT FIRST ROUNDER WE GAVE UP THE GOAL IN FOOTBALL IS TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL, NOT CRY OVER HOW THE F.O. GOT SUPERSTARS ON THE TEAMS ROSTER,IT WOULD BE A GREAT MOVE THE DEFENSE WOULD MAKE MORE PLAYS AND GIVE THE OFFENSE BETTER FIELD POSITION.

i agree that lito will be traded this weekend, for what? i dont know. I love lito and think he's worth a second round pick at this point. As for Jason Taylor, you gotta be stupid if you think this guy wouldnt be awesome for the eagles, i dont care how old he is. With that being said, what's he worth? Probably a second or third round pick. Will the eagles take him? I highly doubt it, but who knows. I would consider this a great weekend if we somehow acquired a number one veteran player, like boldin, as well as a return man and o-lineman. I know we have other needs, i'm just saying if we got those three this weekend, i'd consider this year's draft an ultimate success. And dont think it won't happen!! You guys are all cool as shit and i love that there are other people in this town that are as obsessed as i am with our birds!! but lets cut out all the bs. a lot of times these posts are super gay because people act childish. Lets all man up, stop bickering and talk some football!!!! go birds!! lets set the nfc east on fiyaaaaaaa

Keep schooling everyone DTRIK, you take the words right out of my mouth so many times lol.

HE AINT SCHOOLIN NO ONE IM THE TEACHER HERE

Ever heard of Tony Gonzalez? He only had 99 rec for 1172 yards and 5 TD's in 2007. I would say thats another target.

I PICK THE NFL STARS EVERY YEAR WHILE YOU WERE ON CALVIN JOHNSONS NUTS I KNEW DWAYNE BOWE WAS THE MAN,ALL YOU GUYS LOVE DESEAN JACKSON HES THE THIRD BEST PLAYER FROM CAL COMMIN OUT IN THE DRAFT,DEVIN THOMAS IS THE WR.CHRIS JOHNSON BEST ALL PURPOSE RB.WRITE EM DOWN AND LET ME KNOW IN A YEAR, SO WHEN I SAY ITS A GOOD PLAY JASON TAYLOR FOR A FIRST ROUND PICK IT USUALLY IS AND WHO CARES HOW LONG HE HAS LEFT THIS ARE LAST SHOT WE ONLY NEED HIM FOR 1 GOOD 1 TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL BECAUSE IF WE DONT MCNABB'S GONE AND ITS TIME TO REBUILD,OH AND THATS LIKE SAYING MCNABB ISNT WORTH A FIRST ROUND PICK LOL SURE BUDDY

yeah on madden I go undefeated too, woohoo maybe I oughtta be GM too.

are you really going to beat your chest about Dwayne Bowe over Calvin Johnson? They are wide receivers and one year is nothing in their development. Further, Bowe was the only target on his team while Johnson was at best the second, hurt for half of the season and that is understating it.

lololololololol.thats funny. face it dude, shepperds gone on sat no matter for what.

Matt Millan, please stop posing as an Eagles fan.....

ouch, hahaha

lol

Sounds like one of those deals that will happen an hour before the draft so they can catch teams off guard.

ur stupid eaglestillidie. period. the eagles would wind up like Miami if you were making the decisions.

thats not nice man...true, but he has feelings too im sure! hahaha

truth hurts doesnt it

I dunno, in my opinion it is not good that Lito is being traded. Simply because there are no clear options ahead that would benefit the Eagles in his departure. We don't seem to have any WR deals in the mix, and he is a good athlete. I would rather we keep a quality player, as supposed to settling for his trade.

I feel you puma. If Lito is not part of a deal for a WR, 1st rd pick, or Vet im a little skeptical of the decision.

Lito is gone for 2 draft picks this weekend. Most likely a 2nd and 5th or 3rd and 4th. There won't be any players involved in the trade because teams want draft picks on draft weekend not players. Oh yea and Jason Taylor??? please. Why do we want him, so we can pay him a lot and have him blow it like Kearse did for us? Taylor is still a solid player yes, but not worth giving up a 1st round pick. And don't give me this we are horrible at drafting and our 1st round picks stink nonsense, or this our 1st round picks never make it on the field anyway nonsense. Bottom line: Jason Taylor and the Eagles don't fit! THe Eagles have trent cole, chris clemons, juqua parker, victor abiamiri, and a player to be named in the draft. If this were Jason Taylor 3 years ago I would pull the trigger, not now tho. Especially considering Miami wants to trade him for a 1st rounder to take another DE! if Taylor is so great, why would they want to trade him to draft another DE! in that case, why don't the eagles just take a DE with their pick if thats the case! it's a dumb idea. Stick to your nonsense WR rumors everyone, and stop with Jason Taylor. Let's all enjoy this weekend and watch the birds and come back on Saturday night and Sunday night and talk about what happened and not more rumors!
