EAGLES scoop NFL....

BigAsh · 07-29-2011, 07:59 PM

Here's a stunner. Prized free-agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha signs with the Eagles for five years and $60 million, $25M guaranteed. The Jets and the Cowboys were reportedly in the running for the former Raider.....Can you say Lombardi Trophy?....This gives the Birds 3 great cover corners, and with upgraded pass rush....I like it!

Wonder what they are going to do with 3 Pro Bowl corners... I expect Asante Samuel and his 5.9M 2011 salary is now on his way out? Anyway, think it was a nice move...

What I don't think was a nice move, bringing in Vince Young.

Lol, Vince Young. I'm guessing they got him for a handful of McDonald's coupons.
The "flirting with disaster to build a ballclub" thing only lasts so long, but the Eagles organization seems to have good luck and good heads in charge of the money.
The 3 cover corners situation kicks ass. Aside from finding a franchise QB, a good corner is the toughest thing to come by in the NFL. It leaves them lots of options.

I can say Lombardi Trophy, but the Eagles can't

Doesn't really matter, how many has your team won with the current group of players?

As a Redskins' fan, I'm worried about what Philly is putting together this off-season, especially with 3 cover corners assuming Samuel sticks around. Not that the Skins have a QB who can actually throw the ball well, but I digress.

On the other hand, the Eagles rank 3rd on my “Most Hated Opponents in the Division” roster, and I kind of admire what Andy Reid has done. Plus, I’ve always been a big fan of Vick & Westbrook, so good for them. At least I'll enjoy watching them kick the snot out of Dallas & the Giants, if everything plays out the way you want it to.
