Lelie is p-o'd

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Give ONE good reason to franchise a backup player at a position that already has depth. Just one. farging hell.

So you can trade him for a 3rd rounder!  Yay!

Phreak,

Just one question about franchising Hood as a nickel back:

What if he takes it?

Phreak wants the Eagles to put the francise tag on Rod Hood?

I think it was just a thought that he threw out- not suggesting or insinuating that the Eagles actually do it.

[Rome]

Are people really talking about franchising Rod Hood? Have you guys been eating retard sandwiches? Give ONE good reason to franchise a backup player at a position that already has depth. Just one. farging hell.

I wasn't.

I think it's a stupid idea.

(No offense.)

Yes, he does.  Because they *might* be able to trade him for a pick a round or so earlier than the compensatory pick they'd get anyway if he left and signed a big deal as an unrestricted free agent.

I was half joking when I said it. But it could be done.I never said I wanted them to do it, I said they could. It's been done before. I said repeatedly that he's gone after this year anyways.

And if he took it they'd be farged. That's why I was half joking when I said they could recoup the draft pick that way.

And after they didn't give up a 3 comp for Burgess I have lost all faith inthe comp system.

It's only slightly based on how the player played for his new team.  It's more based on $$$, and Burgess actually didn't break the bank at all for Oakland.  If Hood has another solid year this year, his contract will be much bigger than Burgess's was.

Supposedly the Bears are offering Michael Haynes in a package for Lelie...

[The BIGSTUD]

What's better a 3rd from the Eagles or that package?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Action News reporting that the Eagles are the leaders in a 4-team race to acquire Ashley Lelie. They reported that the Broncos will decide who they will send him to on Monday.

[Rome]

Well, if the Eagles are serious about getting Lelie, then Pinky is clearly done.

That's all there is to it.

[The BIGSTUD]

"The leaders"

I can picture Andy and Banner slapping high fives going Yes! We just took the lead!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

What's better a 3rd from the Eagles or that package?

Our "package" included Sam Rayburn.  You don't know if they were planning to include (a) pick(s).

Logic alert!  Logic alert!  Cut that shtein out...
