NFL Free Agents and the Philadelphia Eagles

Feb. 27, 2008- Well the NFL free agency period starts Friday morning at 12:01am and the big question is what will the Eagles do? There are rumors flying everywhere that they are involved in possible trade and that they want to drop big money on a defensive back from the Patriots. Well here is what I want to see happen and this is also in my opinion something that is very much possible too happen….

First the sign Asante Samuel to a big time contract and then turn around and trade Lito Sheppard to either Arizona for Larry Fitzgerald and of course they would have to through in a draft pick or two but hey, he is one of the top talents in the league. If they can get Fitzgerald they turn their attention to Cincinnati and Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson) and try to ship Lito out there. The key is to get either one of those two wide receivers here in Philadelphia, and it can happen if they really want it too.

Next they pay a little less and sign free agent Gibril Wilson away from the NY Giants as the heir apparent to Brian Dawkins. Finally they draft with their first pick in the draft the best Defensive End available, I like the kid from Florida Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida: Harvey's great burst off the edge would provide the team with a natural pass rusher, the type that Jim Johnson loves almost like a young Javon Kearse.

What do you think?
