    The Eagles apparently like to sign ex cons

    Word is the Eagles are planning on signing Plaxico Burress.

    "I would hate to see him go to where I think he is going to go, that is from talking to him," Jacobs said of the Eagles when asked if he was talking about Philadelphia. "It is pretty tough to deal with all those different combinations. Plax is a Virginia guy, Vick is a Virginia guy. They went through sort of the same things and they got a lot of dynamic players down there. It wouldn't be a bad thing, he thinks, to go down there. He wants to win." - Brandon Jacobs

    Eagles look scary if they pick up Plax. They have the speed with Desean on one side and height with Plaxico on the other side. Vick with the legs and Celek isn't to shabby himself. I'd be scared of Philly if this goes through..

    Good on the iggles, we need to get these guys off the street.

    Giants, Dallas & Washington have too many Championships anyway.

    It would be a good sign for the eagles. They have the burners, now they need the big physical receiver.

    This is stupid. Burress listed three teams he'd like to play for, Eagles were one. Nothing more to it than that. Eagles have not said a thing and they have far more important positions to fill if the labor BS ever gets worked out.

    Just did an interview in a Phillies cap and Jacobs made it sound like a done deal.

    Watching Vick and Plaxico score a bunch of TDs is something I never thought I'd be excited for as an Eagles fan, but here we go!

    The Jets should get him. They need more big time receivers if they want to win the super bowl.

    That's all Drew Rosenhaus. Make it look like someone wants you. We'll see.

    I agree. This is all hype until the ink hits the paper. It's still entertaining, though.

    eagles will probably get plax but why not? They don't lose anything to sign him. and that goes for every team....All they are giving up is straight cash so there is no point in not throwing a lot of cash at him. Who knows maybe he is in better shape now

    You think so? What about their defense, it was their biggest weakness last year. Promoting an offensive line coach as your new defensive coordinator? I think Reid is losing it personally and feel the Eagles are in for a fall next year, big one. I like Dallas and the Giants to rebound in that division next year, especially Dallas.

    whats wrong with ex cons - they paid their debt - ex cons making an honest living is a good thing. someday you may be an ex con - or a con.

    They still don't have defense. They ll win shootouts from time to time, but it won't get you to the finals

    I hear that Roethlisberger has been talkin to Plax since he got out too, looks like he wants him back. Things might get interesting for Plax... he will for sure have a place when the season starts, all he has to do is choose where he wants to go, and obviously who will be the highest bidder.

    Don't really understand this, money could be spent elsewhere, they got good receivers.
