Eagles to trade for Sproles

[Ellsworth]

only a 5th rounder! wow.

[bobbyuk]

I was just reading Skins fan reaction to a story on the Skins trying to trade for him. They were pretty pissed that their team was trying to trade for him.

[rothdawg]

Special Teams should be much improved next year. Now just get rid of that bum Henery!

[BIG JAY]

We get him in a contract year for a 5th rounder...not too shabby. Think B Brown will go because Sproles is listed as a RB despite the fact that he's a Jack of all Trades...

[Two Gap Penetrator]

Bwahahahaha you b*st*rd

Coffee all over the monitor!

[Big Little]

That's an amazing deal

Solid switch back for Shady, lord knows what Chip will do with him in this offense

Plus the fact he can be our number 1 return man. They definitely upgraded special teams

[weizer]

I kind of like how Bryce Brown played last year, he seemed to have fixed his fumbleitis. But obviously would rather have Sproles take his spot. Polk looked good too, the way that line run blocked last year though, they would make anyone look good.

pretty much

Keeps Djax away from the return game with an arguably equal returner and a decent player for Kelly's offense as well

[Greenstealth]

Unless someone falls in their laps that they can't turn away from, they better draft ALL d. This has to be the most explosive offense they have ever assembled on paper.

[Melchior]

Saints fans are not happy he went in conference, especially in this offense.

Edit: Haha, it was the 5th they got for Sopoaga.

Gregg Easterbrook of ESPN.com thinks Kelly got “snookered’ by Bill Belichick in the Isaac Sopoaga trade:

Why the Eagles, ranked last in defense, should be trading a defensive starter for next to nothing is anyone’s guess. Looks like neophyte Kelly got snookered by veteran Belichick. The trade may become another knock against the former Oregon coach. First Kelly’s offense show signs of being a flash in the pan, then Kelly can’t make up his mind about quarterbacks, next he’s fleeced in a trade. Maybe Kelly can get Nicholls State, Oregon’s 2013 opening opponent, on the Eagles’ schedule for next year. And don’t we wish Nicholls State played Nichols College.

Considering the Nesharim had laid eggs in their previous two games, it was defensible for Kelly to keep the pedal down in the second half of Philadelphia's destruction of Oakland. But one wonders -- was Kelly trying to get his team to believe its season can be saved, or does he think there are style points in the NFL?

So Ells: Who would you rather have? Sproles or Hester?

NO BRAINER! THIS GUY DOES IT ALL! I LOVE IT!

[JuTMSY4]

I'm not sure where

Unless someone falls in their laps that they can't turn away from, they better draft ALL d. This has to be the most explosive offense they have ever assembled on paper.

They could even keep players on offense? Maybe a WR or Oline depth?

I think they only have 6 picks now though...

[weizer]

Basically we traded Issac Sopoaga for Darren Sproles...I'll take that!

[Eagle In Ohio]

Hell yes

Can't wait for the package that has Shady, D-Jax, Maclin, Sproles, and Ertz on the field at the same time. I'm starting to love this FO. Guaranteed Banner and FF would have let him go to the Washington football franchise.

[Chupacabra]

I wonder how his wife feels about it...
