Mcnabb Wanted Buress

[dargonking999]

One player who didn't want to see free-agent WR Plaxico Burress sign with the Giants last week was Eagles QB Donovan McNabb. In fact, McNabb gave Burress a plug with Eagles coaches in the hopes Philadelphia would sign the former Steeler. McNabb and Burress have a long-standing relationship that dates back to their days as basketball players. They also have hung around at Pro Bowls and even spent time together during a game delay caused by an electrical storm last preseason. Burress and Terrell Owens would have been a dynamic combination for McNabb and the Eagles, and coach Andy Reid was interested in Burress. Reid was not interested in making the kind of financial commitment the Giants made, however. . . .
The reality of the Vikings trading WR Randy Moss is they got a lot more than LB Napoleon Harris and a first-round pick, which is what the Raiders gave them. Trading Moss freed up $22 million in salary over the next three years, and the Vikings subsequently went on a free-agent spending spree. Now, over the next three years, the Vikings will pay free-agent S Darren Sharper $10 million and free-agent DT Pat Williams $13.5 million. So one way to look at it is the Vikings have Harris, Sharper, Williams and the seventh pick in the draft instead of Moss. . . .

LT Jonas Jennings got big money from the 49ers--$36 million over seven years. But the 49ers have some unusual protection written into the contract. San Francisco's doctors obviously had concerns about a shoulder injury that has given Jennings problems in the past. If the team eventually cuts Jennings because of that injury, a clause in the deal prevents Jennings from filing a grievance against the team to collect remaining money on his contract. However, if the 49ers cut Jennings because of his shoulder, the $12 million they are paying him in signing bonus and option bonus money is his to keep. . . .

Why were the Chiefs so interested in signing S Sammy Knight? Only four teams had fewer takeaways last season. Since 1997, no active player has more takeaways than Knight's 46. The Chiefs hope Knight can give them leadership as well as takeaways. Knight has been replaced in Miami by Tebucky Jones. Interestingly enough, this is the second time Knight has been replaced by Jones, the other being in New Orleans in 2003. Both the Saints and Dolphins prioritized speed over instinct after seeing Knight, who is one of the slower safeties in the NFL, have problems running with receivers and tight ends. . . .

Even though the Dolphins released WR David Boston, it won't be a shock if Boston winds up in Miami again next season. Boston had a nice visit with the new coaching staff before his release, and the Dolphins have expressed an interest in bringing him back at a reduced salary. If Boston returns to the Dolphins, it probably will be after the draft. . . .

The Texans are breaking ties with LB Jamie Sharper, but it isn't because Sharper can't play anymore. In fact, he led the team in tackles last season and had 50 more than the next closest player. The problem is Sharper is 30 and entering the last year of his contract. The Texans don't want to extend Sharper's contract because they are focusing on youth. And the thinking is they can get something for him now in a trade, as opposed to letting him walk next season as a free agent.

What McNabb don't want he wanted T.O he got em, he even wanted James Thrash at once he got em... He probably wanted Randy Moss... He's not going to win a superbowl no matter who he got...

[Vertigo_17]

I have to say that I'm glad that he didn't get him. Buress and TO make a pretty respectable WR tandem.

[WoodysGirl]

I wonder what the Texans are asking for Sharper. I remember reading a 4th at one point. I wonder if they're willing to go into the season with him still on the roster or if he's a potential roster cut. If he's cut, then he'd be a good pick up at LB.

[Vertigo_17]

Sharper would be awesome. C'mon Jerry, give them back their 3rd next year :)

[WoodysGirl]

Sharper would be awesome. C'mon Jerry, give them back their 3rd next year :)

Uhmm they already have our 3rd....lol Don't wanna give the Texans anything else. Sign him up as a FA or not at all.

[AJM1613]

McNabb wants everyone.

[Pooz]

Burress will be a bust in NY, you've got to have a real QB to throw to your WR's. I am sorry, but I am not a believer in Eli Manning at all. That kid is gonna get laid out next year.

Maybe, but they really had no other choice. They have a young rookie QB with no weapons and no first round pick. Toomer is done. This was the Giants grasping at straws, but I agree, they'll be releasing him in a few years and sucking down a big salary cap number.

[dbair1967]

"Mcnabb wanted Burress"

in bed doesnt count

[CanadaBoys]

McNabb wants everyone.

McNabb wants a championship too... But that isn't happening either.

I bet he'd like to stop LITERALLY choking in big games too.

[Teague31]

"Burress will be a bust in NY, you've got to have a real QB to throw to your WR's. I am sorry, but I am not a believer in Eli Manning at all. That kid is gonna get laid out next year."

Dead wrong on Eli- he will be very, very good.

Could be but thus far and I know its early yet still..I am unconvinced!!

[jterrell]

Ok when a Cowboy fan said McNabb wanted Burress I left alone the possible boyfriend references but now that you saying it I can't mention that the wording just doesn't sound right.

Sounds like he wants guys in the huddle who he can cuddle with.

Look at some of the guys who have been throwing Burress the ball throughout his career.

He will be just fine in New York catching passes from Eli Manning.

[Charles]

Thank God they didn't get him.

A player of Burress talent would have been the 3rd option on an already potent offensive attack.

McNabb, Owens, Westbrook, Bulkhalter and Burress :eek:

folks it doesn't get anymore scarier than that.

hey i still dont get the logic behind getting a third TE with our FIRST draft pick, why get a player for a postion thats not a need, i'll never understand

I like how you included Buckhalter. I'm a big fan of his.

[big dog cowboy]

Or.. instead of worrying about how bad we talk about your pathtic team, maybe you can come show your face when the eagles stop choking and actaully win soemthing:iggles:

[AJM1613]

Stop chicking?

[cwbys4evr]

Buress must be a better play caller than Freddy while the QB is choking.

[cwbys4evr]

"Hummmm...where have I heard that one before?"

My guess is you've probably been hearing it for the last four years or so LOL

Two solutions. One - win a super bowl :eek: , or 2 - stop hanging around a Cowboy forum. :D

How did it feel to lose that Super Bowl by only 3 points. You were just 3 points away from your 1st trophy. That musta really hurt. pfffhahhaaha.


You almost had one but guess what all anyone will know about the Eagles is this.



http://emmitt22.com/gifs/empty-case.jpg






You see I get to talk about 5 Super Bowls.....and you......NONE

[AJM1613]

How does it feel to not know what it feels like to even get to the Super Bowl?

It's nice to talk about the past...but it means nothing if you can't remember it.

[big dog cowboy]

I won't ever forget. But in case I do, the vcr tapes won't EVER forget. The pictures of the Super Bowl banners are always in full view as well. :D

All I have to do is run the DVDs with our Super Bowls on them and so YEAH I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE!!! UNLIKE YOU! HAHAHAHAAHAHHA!


What do you have to talk about in the past. NOTHIN!!!


I can talk about 5. You get to talk about 0. That simple.

[dargonking999]

well then why are you still talking, because from what i know your SB is now in the past, and from what i remember we've been to 8 winning 5 you've been to what 2 1 losing all of them either way your team wont win a SB, stop getting mad because we ahve something to brag about unlike you and your chocking eagles

[AJM1613]

No you really don't.

When you watched the games, did you know who was going to win? Kind of took the fun away from it, huh?

But don't worry...you will NEVER know the difference between what you saw and a real Super Bowl so it doesn't matter.

[cwbys4evr]

Bears repeating:

McNabb must have wanted Buress because he's a better play caller than Freddie when the QB is choking.

[cwbys4evr]

AJM1613 whatever that means. Dude you are so lame. Go back to the Eagles board and get your big brother to come argue with us.

[dargonking999]

No you really don't.

An youu'll NEVER know the differnece between being in a SB in actually winning one

[AJM1613]

Didn't get any laughs the first time so you had to post it again? I guess I wil humor you.

:laugh2:

[cwbys4evr]

Good reply. I guess you got me there, buddy.

How did you manage to think of that one in between reminiscing about all the philly super bowl wins?

[TobiasEagle77]

Let's recap:

- some guy said McNabb wants Burress. This proves that McNabb is greedy and knows he can't win a superbowl unless he has an allpro at every position.

- Freddie Mitchell claims to have called out plays for McNabb. Everyone knows that Freddie always speaks the truth and would never embellish, therefore we now know that McNabb is on a campaign to find the best play-calling WR in the league.

- The Eagles have not won a superbowl.

- AJM thinks the 0 superbowl argument is unoriginal, and says so. In response, numerous people state in various fashion that the Eagles have no superbowl wins.

It feels so good when you can go to a message board and learn something about football. This thread would be an excellent example, it it was in the smack talk zone where it belongs.

[TheSkaven]

Man, this thread is headed to the SmackTalk zone, I can feel it.

AJM, your statement was ridiculous, of course we know how it feels to go to a Superbowl. Most of us here aren't 16 years old. :)

Philly is a cursed town, you'll never see a Superbowl, I'm afraid.

People aren't necessarily trying to rub you because the team doesn't have any Superbowl wins (okay, maybe some are), it's more a point that the only team with bragging rights is the one that wins it all. Second place might as well be last place, as Lombardi once said. Cowboys fans want and expect excellence.

So come back here and talk some smack after you're team is on top. In other words, see you in your 80's. :D

[Bang]

As I recall, Mcnabb also went to bat for Torrance Small and Charles Johnson in his second year when Reid fired them.
The guy just never met a receiver he didn't like.

:rolleyes: Well you obviously missed it...Dragonking and wolverine ARE! Those were the people I was talking too...not you...

And I don't think I have bragging rights because of what we did last season, I have bragging rights because my team is better.

And I don't believe in curses. I don't think anyone "up there" (if there is an up there) cares what team wins what.
