Oh god, another Eagles cast-off... thanks chilly

Um...hooray?

**thenetstud** · 09-21-2010, 08:26 PM

I assume that puts us out of the Vincent Jackson running.

**Infidel** · 09-21-2010, 08:28 PM

I doubt that.

Dammit. You beat me to posting this. I was so excited to tell everyone about it. LOL. Well maybe its a smoke screen or for us to gain some leverage in the Vincent Jackson trade. If we sign the super bowl hero then we don't need VJ. Baskett is the Super Bowl hero right? oh wait....

One can hope... He wouldn't help significantly anyway

I definitely agree. Who needs a number one receiver anyways. We got b twice, mr migraine, one play wonder, and a guy that doesn't know the playbook. Why get someone with talent.

The word is.....this guy can't catch the ball.

Maybe he can block?

Someone with talent who is one dumb move away from being out an entire year, won't be able to play until at least week 6, and who knows how well he will play then, after not practicing or being in training camp, and having to learn a new playbook. Better off saving the draft pick and taking a WR and a decent OL in the first two rounds...
