NFL: Eagles released a good DE...

[Xanthri]

It doesn't matter...all reports and nuggets I have dug up seem to say we are not interested. I think the argument that we had a chance to sign him when we signed Edwards doesn't hold much weight since we were looking to get the best value for our money (Edwards clearly was not worth it)....I am still not sure why we would not at least take a look at him even as a rotation guy for Abraham and Beirman (unless he just doesn't have the speed or flexibility Nolan thinks would fit). I am not big for messing with team chemistry going down the stretch but with our CBs hurting putting more pressure on the QB would take some pressure off the younger CBs....

I still think Amobi Okoye is an upgrade of Jerry (who is ailing anyway), he always had good run stop ability, he is a smart guy....and did better than JA98 ever did (which isn't saying much). He was released from Houston not for performance issues as much as they thought he was not worth the money for their scheme (and they just may be cheap!). He has done a decent job for the Bears - not sure why they are releasing him in the first place - so there may be underlying issues....

I still think we give them a "look" doesn't mean we have to pick up either....but if it might fill ailing position or upgrade a backup....you have to keep your options open.
