NJ.com trying to start a rumor about Frank Gore

[Ground_Meat]

He's young with very few carries in his career, right?

[The Duck]

Oh, fuck this

[bobbyuk]

Bleacher report is saying the Eagles have an offer on the table of 5M a year for him.

Brilliant.

[Ellsworth]

Why??

[IronEagle]

Why??

Well, they do need a RB. But rumors are rumors. Here is another one:

I think Chip was pissed at McCoy's dancing last year. Gore is more of a one cut back, and I guess they think he'll be able to thrive here for a year or two at half the cost of McCoy.

I know it's rumor...

Why??

...but why would you chase such a RB...how old is he now???


Save the $$$, draft a RB, and use the cap space for another position of need.

Your #1 & #2 RBs next year will both be 32 years old.

Kinda flies in the face of the "running backs peak at 26" mantra we've been hearing all week.

This a weird move, if true. I have to believe Chip wouldn't do this if he didn't plan on investing a high pick on the position. If he plans on having a high pick, he's not getting Mariota.

I'm guessing we will sign every available FA...

....(With the exception of Suh) and then give away every pick for Mariota.

Got to love the rumor mill.

[HowBoutAShave]

No longer a rumor

Caplan and schefter both reporting he'll sign with Eagles

I think this one is getting some serious legs.

1. It's about cost
2. They didn't dump him; they got a young pro-bowl caliber player at a position of need with a very low cap number
3. It's not about speed it's about playing style
4. stop posting
