A league source said the Eagles, as expected, are fielding significant offers for cornerback Lito Sheppard, who seems to be the odd man out with the signing of Asante Samuel on Friday. The source said some teams are offering draft picks and others are offering players.

That would make the Jets that much Stronger. But still not a good Pass rush so people would not like Sheppard there.

Pats need to replace Samuel and I see a second, third, and sixth round picks coming Phillies way. Either that or Pats trade 7th pick to Dallas for two twenty picks and then trade one of those picks and a third rounder for sHEPPHERD

If the Cowboys trade up to get McFadden.....I am no longer a Cowboys fan. It will be a waste of picks and money and will set back the Cowboys for another 10 seasons.

the cowboys dont have the cap room to get mcfadden or moss unless someone is cut so i think you will be able to stay a cowboys fan

Jets don't want to give Coles more money and Philly needs a wide receiver so Coles for Sheppard works for me.

i agree with Jets 8272. him and Revis would be killer

the_future_is_here love ur name by the way. it sounds familiar to this other guy on this site....

March 2, 2008  04:12 PM ET

Parcells will get him. Remember the new formula..Tuna+Dolphin=Piranha

March 2, 2008  04:29 PM ET

y doesnt lito want to stay? he will see a ton of action because ppl will be trying to stay away from samuel.

March 2, 2008  05:40 PM ET

Whoever takes him on will overpay for him thats for sure

March 2, 2008  05:49 PM ET

I think the Texans will go after him.

Why would Lito sign his contract last season only to be disgruntled this year? It's a stupid move on his part.....It's selfish....The guy hasn't played more then 13 games in a season for at LEAST 3 years....and even then they weren't FULL games....he's left games in the 1st or 2nd quarter due to some lame injury.....

Asante Samuels is a better cover guy then Sheppard is at this point....If Sheppard could stay on the field then I'd say they were about even, but Samuels has more durability then Sheppard's had over the last 3 seasons....

Sheppard could prove himself this season playing opposite Samuels he'd get more thrown his way....He's not getting paid peanuts to play this game....he's getting paid what a guy who misses 4+ games a season should get....

all I know is that Lito played a great game against the pats this season and based on that I am sure he will be a good addition to whomever gets him. I agree that someone will have to over pay so I think that leaves that patriots out. The jets getting him wouldnt surprise me

March 2, 2008  08:27 PM ET

now that gay and sameul are gone I would say the Patriots could use him.
