Would a cheaper Brown and Dockery be feasible? Brown as a starter at guard instead of Kendall, and Dockery as Randy Thomas' insurance? (It sounds like a bit much when you look at it).

I still would like to get Jason Brown, it'd be nice to see a talented free agent in the offensive line.

Dawkins signs with the Broncos. Glad to see we won't have to deal with him anymore.

Man Eagles fans must be going crazy about that one.

I remember the sunday night game when we played the Eagles and all pregame Dawkins was being shown as a "wolverine" super-human. Then Sellers trucked him and it was the end of his x-men days.

I never thought Dawkins was that good. He plays like Ray Lewis, jumps on the pile at the end of a play then runs around like he made this amazing tackle.

Not that it matters but I thought Dawkins was awsome!

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

dude he prolly has had a hand in more turn-overs than our whole team, in these years we've struggled.

i'll be laughing at Iggles fans all over this place.... the mass txt just went out, shortly followed by another.

Re: 2009 Free Agents

If I was the Eagles I would'nt let him go. But thats an organization that cuts guys due to age . Dawkins on the other hand kind of breaks that mold.

Spoke to my Jason Brown source again, gave her hell (not really) for being inaccurate and making me look slightly less than spectularly awesome here. Seems like Jason Brown to the Rams could be happening by tonight, he's delaying, hoping to maybe get a call from elsewhere (Ashburn) but the call isn't coming right now.

Lions signed Maurice Morris, solid pick up for them

I'm not sure I understand what KC is doing with the Vrabel trade. They cut Donnie Edwards and then send draft picks to NE for essentially the name player (aging LB who will probably be a situational pass rusher this year).

Scott sure played the Jets well

Did he re-sign with Baltimore???

edit: never mind just read how he upped his contract value.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;531529]Did he re-sign with Baltimore???[/quote]

No he had tentatively agreed to a deal with the Jets this morning to a 5 year, $40 million deal. Then he gave the Ravens a chance to match and they allegedly offered 5 and $42 but then the Jets signed him up at 6/$48 million.
