I just hope Randy Moss stays with the Patriots. They need him and he needs them.

SPIKES OUT IN PHILLY . . . MOSS IN?
On Friday night, an eagle-eyed reader in Philly pointed out to us that the Eagles' depth chart shows Asante Samuel as the starter at left cornerback, and Lito Sheppard as the second-stringer.
So we shared that info with PFT Planet, and several members of the Philly chapter pointed out that nowhere on the depth chart are the words "Takeo" or "Spikes."
And that is prompting speculation that Spikes and his $5 million base salary are on the way out. Since 2008 is the final year of his contract, cutting him would give the Eagles an immediate $5 million in cap space, with no acceleration.
The possible departure of Spikes and the arrival of receiver Randy Moss on the open market has prompted speculation that the Eagles might make a run at Randy.
The wild card in all of this is Samuel. He's in a position to greatly influence the Eagles, one way or the other, on the value of Moss. Samuel was with the Pats for four seasons before Moss, so he's in a great position to provide the powers-that-be with the inside look at the "before" and the "after".
Stay tuned. Prior to signing Asante, the Eagles were coy about trading Sheppard, likely because they didn't want a repeat of the LeCharles Bentley episode in their quest for Samuel. The wheels might quietly be in motion as to Spikes because the Eagles hope to soar under radar if they decide to try to reel in Randy.
Hey, if T.O. and Moss can't play on the same team, the next best thing is having him in the same division.

man, i did not see Asante Samuel becoming an Eagle
with an improved secondry, the Eagles can be a legit contender for the NFC Eastt title

There are rumors that they'll be dangling Lito Shepard as trade bait now.

I don't see why everyone thinks the signing of Asante Samuel to the Eagles is terrific.

He can't cover big receivers like Plaxico and T.O.

Yeah I think Samuel is overrated as well, but its just cause the list of FA is so horrible and lacking in talent this year that a guy like Samuel will appear 20x better than he really is.


The only attribute I think Asante excels at is his quickness to the ball, he is great in zone coverage.

Donte' Stallworth to the Browns
Bernard Berrian to Vikings
Alan Faneca to Jets

Surprised the Giants are doing anything but Sammy Knight is coming for a visit.

Marcus Stroud to the Bills

That was a mistake. He is staying.


I want the Eagles to go after Fitz, even though he wants a sh.tload of money. Moss would be nice, but I would rather have Fitz because of his age. Roy Williams could also potentially be traded. These 3 are a less than 50/50 chance of coming to Philly, but if we can't get a definite #1 guy, hopefully go after Lee Evans, and Walker as a risk, high award guy.
