I actually would like to at least bring him in, especially if Buges thinks he can coach him. Actually I think a better acquisition would be Robert Gallery if he was available as we already proved we can make one Raider play top notch then maybe we can make another. Kalif Barnes should also get a look. If we're looking for value in the form of what we got in Grif then those two guys (Harris and Barnes) would be a good place to start.

Still I'm looking at Andre Smith.

John Clayton was talking about Jeff Garcia going to the Vikings, which despite his age would make more sense to me. Rosenfels is kinda hit or miss. Garcia could step right in, run the WCO and make the Vikes legitimate contenders. (not that we would want this)

in my opinion we should sign hall to a reasonable deal.. if not let's look at bly or bodden

It all depends on the dline. If we sign somebody like Haynesworth then i'd say we could go without elite corner play. If we don't upgrade the line then we need elite corner play to cover their ass off because we can't get any pressure on the quarterback.

oh and chris canty too if we can't find a solid 3-deep DE core

That Guy · 02-23-2009, 09:17 PM

canty could be good value, though i figured the roids would figure out a way to keep him... for CBs, i'd look at foxworth if it's workable, since i don't think he's going to break the bank and he can play.

Porter back to the Traiders....? WTF

I guess it all spends the same way.

That Guy · 02-23-2009, 09:57 PM

porter isn't very good, and i doubt many other teams want him. nobody plays for raiders unless a) they have to (draft picks, low talent) or b) they don't mind being paid a lot to lose.

Got a good laugh when I read that Dan Orlovsky wants to test the free agent market to be a starter.

Any predictions on where Marvin Harrison will wind up? I say Chicago or Seattle.

I think he will will end up in Philly with another Syracuse Alum throwing to him.

Scary scenario, but it could easily happen. While the Eagles receiving core are not a bunch of household names, I think they have a lot of young, solid guys. DeSean Jackson, Jason Avant, Reggie Brown and I'm not sure if Hank Baskett is still there. Add Harrison to the mix, and that would worry me a little.

Well this scenario is already out there...

Harrison and McNabb to reunite?
Marvin Harrison | Colts | Interested: Eagles?
Updating a situation first reported this past Thursday, Adam Schefter of NFL.com has been told by a league source that Marvin Harrison has asked the Indianapolis Colts for his release. Furthermore, speculation has begun as to where Harrison will continue his career and Schefter thinks that the Philadelphia Eagles might be a good fit.

Harrison, who was born in Philadelphia and lives there currently, owns several businesses in the Philadelphia area. In addition, he was college teammates at Syracuse University with Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, where the two formed a quite dynamic tandem before Harrison would form one of the greatest tandems in NFL history with Peyton Manning as a member of the Colts.

If the Colts release Harrison, they will save $7 million against the 2009 salary cap, and will look to Anthony Gonzalez to continue developing as the complement to Reggie Wayne.

DirtyLandry · 02-24-2009, 12:50 AM

Damn, I also heard that the Eagles could be looking to sign McNabb to an extension.

Well the word is that McNabb is waiting to see what the Iggles are going to do in free agency. So I can see Harrison going to Philly to make McNabb happy and get him to sign an extension. Maybe we'll get lucky and Harrison has the same luck that Jason Taylor had last season and doesn't contribute. (I know, I know, that's mean to say).

Yes, and lets also hope that Donovans' better years are behind him.:FIREdevil
