It would be a formidable secondary. Maybe one of the 3 will get moved to safety in a nickel situation or the like. It's not like the Birds went out and got an instant impact guy at that spot.

They messed up. If he is unhappy it will be a long season.

They should have taken whatever value they could for him.

They aren't keeping him. He won't show up anyway. At least he'll be holding out as a non-starter.

Not sure why they wouldnt take the 40th pick for him..... could have gotten someone good!

I hope we keep him in the mix. Maybe he will take this year as an opportunity to show other clubs he can stay healthy for a full year and play at the high level that has made him a Pro Bowler in the past. Man...Imagine tha...............win win for us regardless.

Eagles are going to end up letting Lito go and walk away emptyhanded.

It looks more and more like that is what will happen. That or he will sit out this year on the bench and they will get far less for him next year.

Philly is it's own worst enemy. They choose not to pay anyone big money, and they wind up drafting extremely well. So they have a bunch of talent who are all underpaid, are well below the cap so they alienate the fan base when they don't go out to get free agents to help, and when the 5th rounder players who make their first pro-bowl realize exactly how underpaid they are, they start to make some small noise.

All in all, it is the right way to run a franchise, but they won't win a super bowl with that strategy. You need Big time playmakers, veteran leadership, and a bit of luck. It also helps if you division is awful and you can walk all over them.

McNabb is fine. He's better than alot of the QB's in the league and definitely better than what was in the draft this year.

Smart move by the Eagles not trading him. I think the best of Asante has already been seen especially with all that money to keep track of.

In addition to Dunkin' Donuts, there are a LOT of fish restaurants all over New England. And Irish and sports bars everywhere in that one city with Ted William's tunnel. I can get a buzz just thinking about Ted Williams.
