Eagles moves and the rumor mill rolls on

Well, free agency is three weeks into the open market, and some big names have moved early on. The Eagles picked up two dandies in Tackle Stacey Andrews and Safety Sean Jones. But the team doesn’t appear to be content with just that.

Rumors have abound that the team is fully interested in Running Back and Full Back hybrid Leonard Weaver. His addition to the team would be of high value, since he could be a short distance runner (goal line runner) and is a proven fullback. Will the team pay out the money he would want remains to be seen. The team has also been talking to Ex-Cowboys safety Keith Davis, who started in place of an injured Roy Williams for the Cowboys in 2008. He is also a special teams ace: his signing could cancel out the loss of Sean Considine, who made his name there in 2008.

But the biggest name flying around isn’t even a free agent: that would be Arizona Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin. Boldin, who lobbied for a trade last year prior to the start of the season through his agent. But now Arizona appears content on shopping him around, and rumor has it a 1st, 3rd, and 6th round picks would be what Arizona would ask for, AKA Roy E. Williams compensation (from the Cowboys and Lions trade in week six last year).

Will it happen? Well, only two gentlemen know for sure. There names are Tom Heckert and Rod Graves, the GM’s of both clubs. Until then, all us Eagles fans can do is sit back and guess at what happens. Does the front office have one huge trick up it’s sleeve, or is this all just a big hoax? Stay tuned for the next episode of, “As The Eagles World Turns.”
