Catch and Release....

I feel that this picture really ties this whole thing together nicely. Today is the first day of free agency, and there has been quite a bit going on.
Jevon Kearse, You can leave your playbook on coach Johnson's desk. Not that my opinion matters, but I think that it was a good time for the Eagles to make this move. His sack numbers have been on the decline, and so has his playing time. The Eagles are loaded at defensive end with 6 holding spots on the roster. He has had injury problems that have also limited his playing time. I would have preferred to see Jerome McDougle released before Kearse, but I am not calling the shots. However I am sure that there is still a market out there for Jevon. Perhaps a team that implements a 3-4 defense could use him a pass rushing linebacker. Goodluck Big Guy!

Asante Samuel is reportedly being offered a deal, and is visiting with the team today. Does this mean that Lito has been given permission to seek a trade, or are the Eagles going to use him to acquire another piece of the Super Bowl puzzle? I hope that the Eagles would use him to go after a #1 receiver. Perhaps, a Larry Fitzgerald, Chad Johnson, or Randy Moss.....

Gilbril Wilson is another possible free agent acquisition on this first day of free agency. Would the Eagles sign Wilson to play along side Brian Dawkins, or to be his replacement?

Chris Clemens???? Who is this guy? The Eagles may be in the process of acquiring the 26 year defensive end from the Raiders. His numbers are good, but we already have six on the roster.

The rumor mill is filled to the hilt with possibilities. These are just a few that I thought were interesting.
