Re: Eagles withdraw franchise tag on DT Simon

I'm guessing this is because the Green Bay proposed trade broke down. Good news for us, no matter where he signs.

The only position on our defense im not 100% on is definitely cornerback. I think we'll be ok. But I would love an upgrade.

I thought the Packers were having cap problems. How were they going to afford Simon? What were they offering Philly?

Ferguson and Davenport, right Brud?

That was the going rumor. It was actually some unnamed "defensive talent" on the Philly roster that was to be traded, but Simon makes the most sense. I don't have cap sheets in front of me, but if moving Davenport and Ferguson freed up $1 million (a guess), a creative GM could sign someone multi-year to a "big" deal.
