Eagles trade WR Lewis to Patriots

[LloydBraun]

Yeah and he caught that late TD against the Pats in Super Bowl 39 that made it a 3 point game.

I think he'll end up being a decent 4th receiver and special teamer/returner. The Pats have a pretty good history of taking average WRs and turning their career around over the last few years.

Ya, #12 has a way of making WR's look good. Having D's worry about Welker and Moss doesn't hurt, either.

lets wait for the terms before trashing anyone. remember ,we had doug g and reche caldwell at one point .brady made them look good. including gaffeny for that matter.

"He went to the University of Illinois as a walk-on. Lewis signed as a undrafted free agent with the Eagles in 2003. He has been known for his speediness but has not been able to make a major impact in Philadelphia's crowded receiver corps."

Ummm, I didn't know Eagles HAD a wide receiver corps?

The trade better be for (only) vet minimum , a low 2nd day (conditional) draft pick and a box of Doritos.

If they want salsa on the side - thats got to cost extra. (then No Deal).

They got him for a conditional draft pick.

Pioli leaves, and our entire Front Office thinking breaks down.....

Moss' 2007 season was better than this guy's entire career.

I think if you sliced a third off of Moss's '07 stats, they would still be better than his entire career.

that's exactly my point. As long as the pick is not too high, I am fine with the deal.

 

[Box_O_Rocks]

WEEI reports that it's for a Conditional Draft pick. I'm ok with that.

Conditional would make it a 2010 pick...opcorn:

 

[rblee83]

I heard he returned kicks in Philly, too. Maybe he's brought in to be a ST'er and #4 receiver, have him run some deep fly patterns each game. I'm sure the compensation won't be much.

 

[VJCPatriot]

I guess the Pats see Lewis as a stretch the field guy. 13.4 YPR average. Initially this move does look underwhelming though.

The Eagles must really like Desean Jackson to feel good about cutting loose a speedster. DJ looks to be one of the best receivers to come out of that year's draft and they got him in the 2nd round too.

 

[Sicilian]

Moss' 2007 season was better than this guy's entire career.

When you compare everyone to Moss, almost everyone sucks.

Depending on the pick, I don't see a downside to depth/competition at WR, KR, and ST.

 

[letekro]

He had 4 receptions for 88 yards and 2 TDs against the Pats in '07, maybe they saw something they think they can take advantage of.

Also caught a TD in the SB, I believe. Still, not a good sign when he doesn't get playing time on the Eagles with their crappy receiving corps.

Doritos come in a BOX now!?!?!?! And you want to trade them?

IMO, Lewis has NFL skills, like Gaffney, but he was on a team that didn't really get the ball thrown his way. Just think that McNabb couldn't stay up-right and when he could, the ball was in Westbrook's hands.

The eagles have tried virtually every reciever ever, one has to wonder if the reciever is the problem???

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Depth at WR, that's all. My money says he doesn't make the team. Still this organization is always trying to get a burner out there (Bethel Johnson, for example.) I think the theory is they run him deep the speed threat opens it up for the rest of the guys; this worked well with Stallworth, but Lewis is not Stallworth and hasn't really proven anything in his career. Little risk, small to moderate reward.

Man, I got NO idea who the hell this dude is. However, He is now one of my top 53 favorite players in the NFL.

Until he drops a wide open pass that should have gone for a TD, huh?

Right, then he would be the 54th.

 

[WhiZa]

so we're not signing TO now?

Its a conditional pick. And it probably won't be paid until 2010 at that since its probably based on Lewis' performance with the Pats.

My guess is that it can become a 5th at best.
