motherfargin goddamn christ!! the taterskins get randel el, lovely.  what the farg are we doing? we need a veteran WR, case fargin closed.  this has been pure hell so far.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Randle El sucks.

Anyways...Mike Anderson just signed with Baltimore for 4 years $8M.

[The BIGSTUD]

What the farg is going on Eagles? Are you frickin kidding me?

[SunMo]

this is truly unbelievable...how are they going to explain moderate team additions while going into the season 20 million under the cap?

[The BIGSTUD]

It's simple:

"The fans don't understand what goes into the salary cap. We will use the money to extend our own free agents, among other things. We are spending money, the fans just don't realize it."

[PhillyPhreak54]

There are still good RBs out there.

I wanted Anderson though.

[The BIGSTUD]

Good RBs that we won't sign. 4 years 8 million is a bargain basement price. Why couldn't the Eagles do this? Why can't they do anything? This is a sick joke. Is it possible that Lurie feels he got farged over on the CBA agreement so he doesn't want to spend any money?

Isn't Davenport a free agent?

[SunMo]

who is still out there?

Anderson was perfect, a WCO running back, who could play some fullback and is a good pass blocker.  in other words, exactly what they needed.
