WE still have the NBA Lockout...which I hope stays for awhile.

But maybe The Browns can be playoff-bound this year (But in reality, they'll be flushed to The Super Bowl by the end of September).

The Browns is not going to be playoff bound this year, they have a new coach and in a rebuilding year but if they do make it to the playoffs then the Browns coach deserves Coach of the Year!

The "Browns" have been under construction since 1999....

Looks like they'll NEVER see a Super Bowl...unless it's made of porcelain.ohno:ohno:ohno:

I wouldn't worry Sol. The Eagles will goof it up. They always do. I don't even worry about them.

Solomon, who cares what the Eagles do? The Cowboys might make some moves themselves. You need to worry about your own team first and foremost.

Well being agressive in free agency like the Eagles would be a good thing. I just hope they don't sit around and let's the Eagles win the offseason like every year

It all depends on how much money the Cowboys, Eagles and everyone else will have left to spend. Can't go after free agents without freeing up some money- and that means cutting some people.

Think of it this way, if the Eagles sign a couple of high profile free agents they will certainly open up some weaknesses somewhere else.

As long as they don't sign Plaxico I will be content.

I didn't realize the Eagles did the same thing the Chargers did.

I hope AJ does get some good FA's.

I don't think they will have enough money to sign a luxury like Plaxico.

I say that because they have very good receivers and spending big money on another one would be a waste. (I really don't think he will take less money just to play with Vick)

I would think the Eagles would go for defense.

And anyway, who cares? Stop worrying about the Eagles winning and just enjoy each Eagle defeat.

The only thing that is in the back of mind is a possible Eagles - Patriots Super Bowl. I would actually consider not watching that.

They are not making moves themselves because they are 18.9 million over the cap unless they release a bunch of expensive players to go under the cap to sign free agents

Won't take less money to play with a guy who was signed by a team when he got out of prison?-lol It's obvious that's why the Eagles are high on his list

Let's be real here.

He's been in prison not getting a paycheck for a couple years.

He will take the most money.

It will be more about the opportunity right now than the money. You can't come out prison expecting a big pay day. So he will have to do what Vick did, get a CHANCE to still show he can play. Then once he performs he money will come later like it did for Vick

Quarterback is a much harder and much more involved position.
And Vick was a social pariah when he got out.

I know Plaxico has to prove himself, but he will still take the most money up front. I don't know this for a fact, just the impression I get.

And if he truly wants to end up with a big payday down the road he will sign with a team where he can play the most.

Since the Eagles are the only team who signed a player out of prison, i would put my money on the fact he will go there regardless of what he i s offered
