Comments on: EAGLES SHOWED INTEREST IN ALLEN http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/22/eagles-showed-interest-in-allen/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:45:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Kirkbam http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/22/eagles-showed-interest-in-allen/#comment-18680 Kirkbam Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:08:30 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/22/eagles-showed-interest-in-allen/#comment-18680 The Eagles probably want to keep Sheppard, I know I do. They may have approached Sheldon Brown about making the much talked about move to Safety. Why would Sheldon want to do that, he's a good young corner, at Safety the conversion could affect his market value. Cornerbacks are much higher paid than Safeties. Now the Eagles are trying to work it all out to get the best value possible. Hopefully they decide to keep a proven talent. I wouldn't want Allen b/c he's a risk with an enormous price tag. Plus Carl Pederson always overvalues his own players next to other teams players. He was asking for a second rounder for an old oft injured Trent Green.

What have you done this off-season? Absolutly nothing! We got Samuel and Clemens, and still working! Congradulations on bringing in DJ Hackett for a visit! Too bad you couldn't sign him. So before you bash us as not being a contendor, take a look at your own team first. And keep begging for Ocho Cinco, you'll defidently win the Super Bowl if you bring him in! The Redskins are dreaming if they think they're contendors! Hey DieHardSkinsFan:

They made a major move in free agency (Samuel) and tried to make another (Moss) 2. They tried to trade for Fitz and have certainly inquired about other WRs. 3. Once you start sniffing around, people are going to watch your team more closely. If other teams were contacting eveyrone about their best players and had a probowl CB on the block, they would be watched closely as well. 4. They play in the NFC East...like it or not, it's a division with four HUGE markets for football; NY, Dallas, Washington, and Philly. There's a lot of media and history in that division. 5. No can actually believe Joe banner is trying to SPEND money. Every rumor is linked to the Eagles for a few reasons:

I am a fan through and through but I feel that they "leak" these stories so that they can simply say HEY WE TRIED. Trying isnt good enough. Sign a damn player that will help this team win. prefferably one that plays the opposite postion than the player you signed the first day of free agency. How can someone tell you with a straight face that wide outs don't need to be superstars to get the job done and then you over pay for a corner who's only job is to stop superstar wide outs???? this is truly the frustrating part of being an Eagles fan.

This seems like a no-brainer to me. JT gets to go to a contender to finish his career, and the Fins get help at CB. And it sounds like the Eagles were throwing in a 2nd round pick (or possibly 3rd). Parcells/Ireland/Sparano faced Lito Sheppard twice a year, and have to know what kind of player he is. Take Lito & a 2nd and be done with Taylor's trade demand. Then draft Gholston/Chris L. as JT's replacement. I’ve been clamoring for Lito Sheppard for Jason Taylor for weeks.
