Ernie Sims to the Eagles for a Box of Chocolates

Ernie Sims to the Eagles
Tony Schefler to the Lions
7th round pick from broncos to lions
5th round pick to the broncos.


havent really followed sims much, but 100 tackle per game guy that was the 9th pick in the draft in 2006 for a 5th rounder. ill take it!

Interesting move here by the Lions. Scheffler is a good addition for them, needed some depth at tight end with Pettigrew getting hurt last year. Linehan also runs 2 tight end sets a lot. With that being said, defense gets weaker without Sims. For what its worth, I liked him, but a lot of Detroit fans couldn't stand him and always yapped about how he was undersized and injury prone.

low risk move esp with all the pix the Iggles have. They r def weak at LB so itt is def worth a shot. Still many more holes to fill.

The NFL offseason turmoil for the Philadelphia Eagles continues. It looks like a war of words is beginning to escalate between Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid and Eagles CB Asante Samuel. Hey, at least Philly fans can take a break from the Donovan McNabb trade talk right?

In my 20+ years as a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I can’t recall an offseason with this much turmoil since the birds let Reggie White leave to the Green Bay Packers. I don’t know if it is Andy Reid’s new job security or fear of the unknown, but Andy Reid’s house of cards is falling apart. In the midst of an offseason that has consisted of trading the franchise quarterback within the division, releasing Brian Westbrook, trading away their Pro Bowl cornerback, releasing his Pro Bowl offensive lineman, and oh yeah his inability to trade Michael Vick, Andy Reid now finds himself at odds with his highest paid defensive player, Asante Samuel

In the last few seasons, Andy Reid’s acquisitions have been practically atrocious. Yes, Leonard Weaver was a great addition but does he makeup for the money wasted on Stacy Andrews, Jason Peters, Michael Vick, and a CB who can’t tackle? I don’t think so. As of now, it looks like 2010 could be the year that Andy Reid finally lost his team. Depending upon whether Kevin Kolb works out, this could be a permanent problem. In the words of Asante Samuel, it really is time for the Philadelphia Eagles to step up their game off of the field.

Personally, I would prefer to sacrifice a season or two as a fan if it meant seeing the end of Andy Reid. It’s enough and it is really time for him, his predictable offense, his offseason mismanagement, and his usual press conference charade to go. In the meantime it looks as if the Philadelphia Eagles may be losing some key Pro Bowl players in the process.

Finally, Philadelphia Eagles’ owner Jeffrey Lurie said the following ironically at the press conference to announce the Eagles signing Asante Samuel two years ago.

“I never want to be the type of organization or owner that doesn’t keep reloading or going for it,” he said. “You’re always going to have a chance to make mistakes by taking risks. Keep going for it.”

If this is going for it, the Philadelphia Eagles are in more trouble than I thought.

absolutely agree. as i said it is a low risk high reward move

[ParrotHead]

Samuel makes up for all his missed tackles with picks.

I dont understand how we can have a Steeler fan talking about turmoil in an Eagles thread
