The Super Bowl is over so it’s time to talk draft and free agent signings.  There’s already some big rumblings going on in free agency.  The names include T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Anquan Boldin, and Julius Peppers.  Here are some links for great supplemental reading.

Dear Philadelphia Eagles: Please sign T.J. Houshmandzadeh or Anquan Boldin [Bleacher Report]

Has anyone considered Antonio Bryant? [Yardbarker]  I had him on my fantasy team last year and he stepped up big time for me!  He also fits the Eagles need for a big, physical receiver.  I like it!

Green Peppers? [Recliner GM]  Remember, if Julius Peppers lands with the Eagles, you heard it from the Recliner GM first!

Draft Discussion:

The odds the Eagles snag an OT with one of those first two picks has increased ten-fold.  John Runyan just had surgery on his knee, which had a microfracture and will sideline Runyan for 4-6 months.  Runyan is about to become an unrestricted free agent and is 35-years-old.  It’ll be interested to see what happens with his situation.  Other teams will likely be reluctant to sign him, which could lead to him resigning with the Eagles on the cheap and he should be ready to go by training camp.

From all the Mock Drafts that I checked (see database), the consensus seems to be the Eagles will go RB/OT.  Arizona OT Eben Britton and UCONN OT William Beatty seem to be the popular choices for the Eagles.  They’re both projected to go late in first round in most mock drafts.  The Eagles are probably hoping that Michael Oher can fall to them, which Mel Kiper has happening in his mock draft.
