"In an unprecedented trade, the Eagles have traded Greg Lewis AND cash for... absolutely nothing at all..."
VJC and others, before you take Belichick out back to beat the crap out of him, read this profile on Lewis. I think you'll find that he's primarily a situational receiver -- but also offers very solid ST coverage skills.
"At New England, Lewis posted a career-high 88 receiving yards and registered the second multi-touchdown game of his career. He was a favorite target of quarterback A.J. Feeley, who got his first start of the season in place of an injured Donovan McNabb. In fact, all four of Feeley's completions to Lewis were successful third-down conversions."
So if AJ Feeley is throwing him the ball, Lewis becomes unstoppable? Great so our next move is to trade for Feeley to maximize Lewis' potential?
The Pats needed depth at WR. With Lewis, they got depth who can play special teams. Why are people getting upset about this? They probably gave up a pick in NEXT YEAR'S draft that probably wouldn't make the team for a guy who can be the Pats' fourth WR, maybe third and play special teams.
If people are going to get peissed off about moves to create depth at a position, I guess we are spoiled.
Or, rephrasing your point - BB got a ST's player for a 5th round pick (Matthew Slater last year, Greg Lewis this year) AND rolled an extra pick forward into 2010. This gets the BOR "steal" of the day award! :woohoo:It appears as if Greg Lewis is a compensation for trading 2009 pick for 2010pick.

I don't think anybody's pissed off. It's just that Greg Lewis isn't a very exciting acquisition. I hope he turns out to be on, but, well ... it's Greg Lewis.
With that being said... There's NO WAY Greg Lewis makes this team!
Sarcasm?
Anybody know what his contract is?
Very little, Reiss has it, he's signed for 3 years at less than $1M each year.Anybody know what his contract is?
