[GM Franchise]

Yep, Denver just added Ware. They're going all in this season.

[Doug E Fresh]

Browns cut Weeden.

Best offseason ever.

So where is Revis Island going...anyone wanna take a stab?

I feel like the Pats will land him

I'm thinking the Pats will get him too.

[GM Franchise]

Revis Island will be in New England next season.

Bet Brady is happy the best hands are on the defensive side of the ball [/sarcasm]

Lol I bet he'd lobby to get Revis to try out WR for a bit.

[Cory]

Nice, Darren Sproles.

[GM Franchise]

Sproles is a good fit for the Eagles system.

[Jon]

Meh...

[Cory]

Meh...

Hes good but definitely not a slam dunk like everyone is making it out to be.

The good:
- Sproles is def. a weapon, and Chip will find a way to use it.
- Will get Shady more breaks, less wear and tear, more so on screens, ect.
- Two back sets with Sproles will be very tough for defenses to match up with
- Philly is awful at covering screens, so if we play the Saints again their big screen man is gone

The meh/bad:
- Gave up a 5th rounder, the draft is really deep this year, could have added great value.
- With said pick, could have gotten same type of weapon like DeAnthony Thomas for cheaper.
- Sproles is at the end of his prime....I do like he isnt injury prone, but hes 30-31
- Sproles doesnt add much to the return game, another area where we need improvement.

Overall, I think its a good move. Sproles was a 1000 net yard playmaker last season, and with Phillys already #2 ranked offense last year and the best offensive numbers in Eagle history, adding Maclin and Sproles is kinda insane potentially....considering the Broncos who were number one is losing two playmakers in Decker and Moreno.

He's one of the better returners in the league.

He's one of the better returners in the league.

He hasn't been effective as a PR in 3 years and hasn't been a full time return man in that same span. At 31, he isn't going to magically return to being "one of the best return men." He's of little use outside of a safety valve for Foles out of the backfield.

Yeah, pretty much....but the fact that Philly had 6700 yards total last year, and added guys who have produced close to 1000 each (Maclin + Sproles).....it wouldnt be a stretch to think they could top 7500....something that Denver couldnt do last year.

At the bare minimum, he'll force opposing defenses to spread out a little more and pay attention to him in the slot.  Teams won't be able to stack 8-9 in the box against the Eagles with McCoy and Sproles out on the field.

I would have loved him on the Redskins but not at the expense of a draft pick.

Smart move for the Eagles.
