    I think we need to go after him. Im sure he's still available. It would take at least a 3rd rounder. Maybe the Eagles would do a conditional 3rd round pick and maybe Paul Williams for Lito Sheppard. I know he isn't the most physical but you can deny his talents. He's a playmaker and comes up with big plays and interceptions (look how many he has against the Cowboys in his career). Its not like we don't have the money to sign him to a new contract. Our secondary would be great immediatly. So if its possible we should do it...

    LE- Kyle Vanden Bosch
    DT- Tony Brown
    DT- Albert Hayensworth
    RE- Jevon Kearse
    LOLB- David Thornton
    MLB- Stephen Tulloch/Ryan Fowler
    ROLB- Keith Bulluck
    CB1- Cortland Finnegan
    CB2- Lito Sheppard
    FS- Michael Griffin
    SS- Chris Hope

    It'd be great, but I can't see MR ever paying up.

    there's no point in us breaking the bank for CBs. we refuse to play man-to-man coverage, even if it suits our corners better. you can find zone corners on the street.

    That would be too amazing for us to consider.


    I'm very concerned if Finnegan or Harper were to miss significant playing time, and i'm now all for trading draft picks for veterans. A 3rd rounder, why not?

    I'm not sure they would part with him for that though.

    The 3rd rounder is not the deal breaker. The price we would have to pay to extend him is. He'll look for D. Hall money, and neither Hall or Sheppard deserve it.

    Eagles talk a lot, they won't trade him.

    Maybe but you don't catch a fish if your hook isn't in the water. We need CB help in a bad way- especially if Finn's hammy stays bad. We should at least sniff out the deal.

    I'm all for it if we give up a 3rd rounder and give him a 35 mil deal for 5 years. But, he's not worth it if he wants 60 or 70 mil.

    We cannot expect to have superstars at every position.

    We need to use that money to help lockup Al, Bironis, and Fin instead of using it plus draft pics on a slight upgrade at corner.

    If he wants 35 mil I'm all for it. But, he won't and so I think we have better things to do with our money.
