Wow. It looks like it's going to be Philly. Ain't that just a kick in the crotch.

Springs scheduled to visit Philly - NFC East - ESPN

Not really, seeing him on the sidelines in an Eagles sweatshirt won't hurt any more than seeing him on the sidelines in a Redskins sweatshirt.

Very true. A stiff breeze is enough to cause Springs to miss a game and its far windier in Philly than it is in DC.

For Dawkins though, oh boy! Last year, he's the 7th or 8th best player on his defense, and half of his responsibilities are Joe Gibbs type managerial roles out there on the field.

This year, he's a year older, and he's all they've got.

GTripp0012 · 03-04-2009, 03:41 PM

Tra Thomas is a bit miffed right now that the Eagles don't want him, but the OL did decline last year with Shawn Andrews out and Thomas and Runyan seem to be the main culprits for that.

Still, I'd offer Tra a contract. (as the Eagles, not the Redskins)

That Guy · 03-05-2009, 03:14 AM

you wouldn't want tra or dawkins on the skins at big contracts for the same reasons the eagles don't want them.

they simply don't overpay for average players (often... they missed on paying kearse and missed on not paying burgess when he left).

they rather have a 3rd round pick pick than an overpaid slow safety. whether he's a hometown hero isn't really relevant to them. I totally understand the move, even though it will hurt the locker room.

Looks like Springs is going to the Dark Side.

Maybe Darth Hoody will give Springs whatever the hell he's given Junior Seau, Mike Vrabel, and Tedi Bruschi to make them healthy.

Good for Springs. He may actually get a chance to retire with a ring - something that would never have happened here.

LOL....I feel your pain bro. It's been so long it feels forever since we've been a competitive presence in the NFL.

Just wait until this cap goes away...lord willing...we'll be kicking ass in no time.

Boy do I hate the Patriots. He probably signed for like a million bucks, too.

I thought Greg Lewis getting traded by Philly was interesting. I would expect them to bring in at least one of the bigger named receivers.

They're makin room for T.O.

That Guy · 03-05-2009, 04:29 PM

i want to see the numbers, but springs can still play, so he'll help them, even if it's not a full 16 games.

So long S.S. Thanks for shutting T.O. down so many times.
