O.K. I was thinking about this upcoming preseason game tomorrow and look at the needs of both teams NE and Philly and think HMMM I like potentials of trades while the birds are in town.....

Philly lost thier biggest threat at WR in Kevin Curtis and are in dire need of some help there.

We have some problems at corner and especially with depth there

I love the guy as a WR here, but would'nt you think Gaffney and a mid pick in next years draft would be a good trade with Philly and they swap Sheppard's rights for here? (I am not sure of the cap though)

I know Chad Jackson is not worth scrap heap right now to do that kind of deal, but Gaffney has proven he can be that kind of go to guy Donovan needs so to me it makes some sense.

Would you say this trade would be beneficial for both teams and take a chance that Chad would finally show something other than being worthless by moving up the roster at WR if Jabar was no longer here?

In other words, would you risk one of our clutch receivers and a mid round pick next year for shoring up our secondary with a proven veteran corner and taking a chance that Jackson finally produces?

Philly would laugh at that Offer..Considereing they could prolly send Lito and a mid-rounder to the Cards in exchange for Boldin. Gaffney is good but only b/c the system he has been in with NE.

Why are the Eagles going to trade Sheppard, who whether you are a big fan or not (and I'm not) is a player with some trade value, for a guy the Eagles cut less than 2 seasons ago?

MrBigglesWorth

wasn't gaffney with the eagles before and they cut him loose?

but to answer your question.... no way. we really don't have a 4 wr. after moss, welker and gaff.

Probably not. I'd say that Sheppard's production would be less than Gaffney's production. I know Gaffney is the "#3", but I think he's better than a #3 receiver.

I also think that, in today's NFL, your secondary doesn't need to be that great. The way the rules are today, any receiver can get open if the front 7 doesn't do their job.

I think Gaffney has improved considerably the past 2 years where he might have some trade value now - plus an added draft pick on top of that

It has happened in the past where teams let a player go only to sign them again a year or so later.

Lito is disgruntle in Philly..I mean he went from starter to playing the Nickel..Its been reported that he wants out ne ways; they wont release him but it would take more than Gaffney and mid-rounder to get him from Philly.

MrBigglesWorth

maybe he was good and just needed a good QB. maybe the eagles were just bad and didn't know how to use him. brady ahs improved his stock
