Chip signed a player to a deal before the draft was over?

That was 5:42 AM? Only the Europeans are posting at that hour.

If it's not on the first page that comes up, I don't see it.

Can you imagine what Joe Banner would do to that kid if he was still here? Not only would the kid be terminated immediately, but all his failed LSU drug tests and any other sledge Banner had would be dumped all over the media.

For the love of God! Early bird gets the worm, TGP!

I predict that Sheppard will make the roster.

I predict that Sheppard will make the roster.

I certainly hopes he makes it. He is one of my nephews best friends.

[Drama Queen]

He will. The role that he describes for himself with the Eagles is the role he had with LSU.

His agent steered him correctly.

[Ellsworth]

I personally think his timeline is skewed on when he signed, etc and the eagles/his agent aren't that careless but, if true, this UFA might end up costing the dream team a 1st round pick in next year's LOADED draft.

[Two Gap Penetrator]

Bwahahahahaha!

That would be OUR luck!

[Two Gap Penetrator]

Ohh ho ho ho! He would smear the p*ss out of him!

Blackballed! The kid would be on the street!

Maniac would call this a High School Harry move - unless of course Reid did it in which case it's a savvy NFL play by a veteran coach.

"Signing" Implies Your Name On The Dotted Line

It really makes no sense at all that he would physically have the opportunity to do that while the draft was ongoing. Sounds more like he AGREED to join the Eagles -- the actual signing would have happened later.
