Here is all the reading you need to catch up on the latest in what’s going on in the Eagles free agency rumor mill.
Full List of 2009 Free Agents [NFL Gridiron Gab] — Eagles fans are focusing on T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Anquan Boldin (not an UFA, but they can try to trade for him), and Julius Peppers. Although I would be thrilled to have any of them, with both Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan entering free agency, I wouldn’t be surprised if Pro Bowl Carolina OT Jordan Gross is the #1 priority on the Eagles offseason list. Odds are the Panthers resign him and let go of the disgruntled Julius Peppers. Here’s a more detailed review of the 2009 free agent from Sports2Debate.com
Philadelphia looking at Jordan Gross or Julius Peppers [Off the Record Sports] — They seem to think the Panthers will franchise Peppers and try and sign Gross long-term, which could lead to a bidding war with the Eagles.
Free Agency Report: Jordan Gross [Bleacher Report] — A great in depth look at Jordan Gross.
If Cardinals trade Boldin, Eagles are frontrunners [All Things Philly Sports] — Boldin is locked up in Arizona for two more years and the Cardinals would be stupid to unload him, but if Boldin threatens a hold out and causes more headaches for their front office, it’s always a possibility. The asking price is likely a first-round and third-round pick. If that’s the asking price, I think Philly would take it. If the Eagles don’t bite, he may end up with the Giants.
No tag for Houshmandzadeh? [Philly.com] — If the Bengals franchise Housh, they’ll have to shell out $9.88 million. Housh said he doesn’t think the Bengals would do it.
Eagles Rank 20th in Pay Roll [Gary Cobb] — How the hell does Oakland have the highest pay roll? Dallas is second. Anyway, the Eagles have the room to make a big splash in free agency.
Free Agent Fullbacks [Inside the Iggles] — Although it’s not high on the priority list, the Eagles do need a Fullback. Here is the list of free agents. Although Lorenzo Neal is old, he still gets the job done.
Freddie Mitchell busted with Pot [Bleeding Green Nation] — Fred-Ex delivers his weed via Fed-Ex, but he got busted.
