I am an eagles fan, born and raised, but I get embarrassed everytime I see a damn post about a washed up receiver and other eagles fans saying the eagles should get them. It just makes us look so desperate and this is why we the fans of other teams (NFC east in particular) laugh at us constantly. I understand the want for a great WR but these posts are borderline obsessive. Would I love Boldin, Williams, Johnson.... hell yes! But since thats not happening let's kill this noise with Bobby Engram, Joe Horn and any other washed up receiver out there that no one wants. We sound like the guy who can't get a woman and just gets with the only one he can get no matter how awful looking she is. Let's get past this desperation and put full confidence in the guys that are here now. If they make a move later for a great receiver, cool... if not cool. Cowboy fans post BS up here just for Eagle fans to bite and we bite the hell out of it.

Interesting perspective on Lito's contract situation. Sheldon was also quoted during minicamp as saying he has to honor his own contract because he made the decision to sign a couple years ago. How could Lito want more money, but B-West isn't complaining about his contract and he is the best player we have. He should be making the 2nd most money on the team, but he doesn't and he doesn't complain. Lito has some nerve, especially for a guy who just plays consistent when he is on the field, not outplays his contract like B-West does.

I understand Lito Sheppard's situation

and regret that he's not happy with his contract but that's business.

The Eagles called Sheppard's bluff by bringing in Asante Samuel.

Sheppard signed what was a lucrative deal a number of years ago, then expressed some displeasure with it now. At the same time he was taking his time getting back from injury last season. The Eagles obviously put the two items together and didn't like what they saw.

Sheppard is underpaid now when you compare his salary to the other top level cornerbacks in the National Football League. I'm sure there were people who told Sheppard not to sign the deal the Eagles offered him because he was going to eventually be in this situation.

Sheppard wanted to get that quick money. He got it then later decided he wasn't happy with the contract. I don't feel sorry for him because a contract is a contract and business is business.

I've been around hundreds of players who thought they were underpaid.

Why is everybody feeling sorry for Sheppard all of a sudden? Is it because the ultra popular Brian Dawkins said he feels sorry for him?

I understand why Dawkins feels sorry for him but Sheppard was an adult when he signed the contract.

I root for every player to make as much as he can make but I don't feel sorry for them if they don't get everything they want.

This is business so you give up something to get something. He signed the contract that paid him a $8.7 million signing bonus. Now I'm supposed to feel sorry for him.

Business is business and Joe Banner and the Eagles gave him the money then so they could have him under contract for years to come. I think he' s worth more but he made the wrong decision a number of years ago.

Samuel gambled, played out his contract and won. Sheppard chose the quick money.

I realize that the eagles have tried to get Randy Moss, Fitz, Williams and Boldin, but it still seems as if they don't think its a pressing need. It seems as if they will take a shot and if not the they have an "oh well" mentality when sometimes you gotta do whatever it takes to win. I look at all the articles floating around about Jerry Jones trying to get another receiver to line up opposite of T.O. and it amazes me that he already has a No. 1 receiver and one the top rated offenses in the league and yet he is still working to get more playmakers and another No. 1 receiver. Whereas the eagles on the other hand will remain content with mediocrity and expect McNabb and B-West to play out of there minds every week. A Superbowl is better than having a future first round draft pick! Get rid of a 1st round pick and package with Lito and get a big time playmaker in here. It seems they are content with being good every year rather than being great. I hate the cowboys with a passion, but at least they have a front office willing to do whatever it takes to win. Yes, the cowboys last Superbowl was back in 96 and they have tough seasons afterwards, but you don't remember those seasons when you have 5 Superbowls under your belt (cowboys fans remind us all the time). Like I said, I hate them with a passion, but with their mentality they'll win 5 more before we win 1, could you imagine that? Plainly, this eagles team right now, is not good enough to win Superbowl so hopefully they will make something happen for the rest of this offseason.

Look, I like Lito as much as most eagles fans and I know he is a very good cornerback, but there is a reason that teams aren't offering a lot for him. Most eagles fans think you can just get a great player or first round pick straight up for him, but the truth is, Lito will only be good for a team that needs one more player to complete them. A team that is in rebuilding mode and are far away from being contenders are not going to trade a 1st or 2nd pick for a guy who is on the injury report every week. He is a very good player, but I think we are placing a higher price tag on him and expect too much. Lito is just trade bait right now to go with a draft pick for next year in order to get the playmaker they've been trying to get this whole off season. I like Lito, but I need a guy who makes an impact on a game every week and not just against the cowboys.

I know us eagle fans are a little nervous about the possibility of aquiring Chad Johnson. Many of us want to get him but others don't want to see another T.O. soap opera. I am on the fence with the whole thing. While I know Chad as one of the best receivers on the league, I do not want to have another 2005 season. Having said that, T.O.'s past behavior and Chad's current behavior is not an indication of future problems. I am not saying Chad will not cause problems, but I am saying that maybe he really just doesn't want to paly there anymore and needs a change of scenery. Moss was unhappy in Oakland but he is now happy where he is and wouldn't dare cause anymore problems. We all know what T.O. did in Philly, but now that he's a cowboy, he seems to be committed to the team and we know he loves his quartback (LOL). My point is may Chad is just like them that he needs a chance to go to a team that can possibly make it to the Superbowl (and it sure will be easier in the NFC than AFC) and get a chage of scenery will make him not disruptive anymore. I'm sure he still will celebrate like he always does, but at least he wouldn't be a distraction. What do you think?

No good for eagle fans. He does a lot of talking, not sure how much of it to accept as actual truth, but Jerry Jones and Drew Rosenhaus are crazy enough to make it happen.

This is why this site has become such crap over the past 2 weeks. Everyone is posted the same damn thing over and over. If you have something to contribute, respond to an article already posted. Doesn't make any sense. This site is such crap.

In the past week, this site has become the worst. So many pipe dreams and false stories and people talking about the same thing. And then another guy comes up 10 minutes later and posts the same thing someone else did and wants to start a new conversation? What the hell is that? Tired of the BS and all pipedream crap. Just have patience and stop thinking everything you hear has something to do with Larry Fitzgerald. I'm about to puke.
