Eagles-Bucs trade in works?

Posted: Friday April 25, 2008 07:16AM ET

Lito Sheppard said last night he just happened to be in Tampa this week and checked in on some old friends. A source close to the situation, however, confirmed Jay Glazer's report on Foxsports.com, which said Sheppard "was in Tampa on Wednesday to visit with the Buccaneers, who have emerged as the front-runner for the two-time Pro Bowler.''

True but it doesn't really matter. reid is looking for draft picks

Report Offensive Comment

700 Level lifer has it right; I think this about draft picks.

Report Offensive Comment

The Eagles are trying to aquire extra picks so they can move up and get th OT they want.

Report Offensive Comment

If it is about picks, Tampa is going to have to give up a lot for someone of Sheppards caliber... I don't think its worth it. Stay with the picks, groom your guys, and be successful. Yes, SHeppard is a Pro-Bowl player, but why sell the future for the right now? Sheppard will make a difference, but not a SuperBowl push diffeence.

Maybe the Cowboys will trade Pacman to the Eagles for Lito.

Then this deal doesnt get done because Tampa only has 5. I doubt they're giving up a number one plus for sheppard. Good player and all but Tampa needs to think long term.

Lito is a great cb and I would love to see him stay. Birds would have the best cb combo in the league with samuels, brown and lito. At the same time I do agree with Reid. We need to replace both tackles, and the draft is the best way to do it

Report Offensive Comment

YCMFord, the reason why they are interested in Lito Sheppard is because Tampa's 2 starting corners ARE OLD!!!!! They can't last much longer!!!! Thus, they need an impact guy to come along ASAP as chances are one will retire or get hurt, really just about anything. Tampa is trying to win NOW. They are not wanting to "rebuild", they are trying to retool to the best of their ability in order to win NOW. Period. Hail to the Victors.

The rumor is Lito for a 2nd and WR Michael Clayton (Not the movie, even though that may be a better deal)

Report Offensive Comment

wonder what the bucs are offering, Lito for a 2nd and WR Michael Clayton is an interesting offer. clayton appears to have lost his ability to play, a change of scenery might help.

Report Offensive Comment

mk6ppc...I agree with everything you said except that Bryan Kelly signed with the Lions.

Report Offensive Comment

Which gives them one old corner....maybe Ronde will quit and we can have the same fortune as NYG after Tiki quit.

Report Offensive Comment

The deal I heard is McNabb, Lito, Westbrook, and Andy Reid for Jon Gruden and the Pirate Ship.

Report Offensive Comment

Tampa's a nice place to be, anyways. Maybe Lito was just tired of grey, drab Philly!

Report Offensive Comment

Phill's beautiful you dope...haha and a comment like that coming from someone who lives in Cincinnati. That's just too easy I'm not even going to bother.

Report Offensive Comment

Clayton's got cement hands. I hope philly doesnt actually need a reciever. If he can't catch a tight spiral from the 14 QBs in Tampa, how is he gonna catch those end over end passes that McNabb throws? I mean, I dont know if he's trying to pass or kick a field goal.

Good for both sides

Micheal Clayton would fit in really well with the Eagle's WR, they all suck!!!
