    Have we got anything left in the money jar? - After the Ts big contracts and with Fat Als tag, we still haven't signed any rookies.

    Usually I say use the money to help Young but considering our D is the strength of the team use the money to make our D even better. Only, if the price is right. Like what vslyke is right about the money then pull the trigger.

    Stop acting like we are poor- we have plenty of money even with Hayensworth and Finnegan extensions. Also remember the salary cap is only going to get bigger. And to call Lito a "slight" upgrade is laughable. He's a borderline top 10 corner and way better than Nick Harper. I rather have a proven, Pro Bowl vet who is in his prime than banking on a 3rd rounder...

    Eagles Get:
    2009 3rd round draft pick
    WR Paul Williams

    Titans Get:
    CB Lito Sheppard (sign to extension worth $40 million over 5 years)

    If that's what the deal was, I would take it. But Sheppard will want 60 mil, and we should not give him that.

    ....My question is whether you really think the Eagles would settle for a third rd pick and Paul Williams in exchange for such a good player? Paul Williams is essentially just a decent prospect at best, I'm not even sure if he's caught a ball yet. I think they'd want a little more out of us then that, but I'd be willing to part with a second rd pick for Lito, he is an all pro player, he is a top 10 CB and he would be able to take Reggie Wayne and Andre Johnson out of some games in the future. No way Finny would start at no1 if we had Lito, and that would really push our defense more into the 'stellar' category as opposed to merely 'pretty good'
