Eagles Rumors

For anyone who hasn’t caught up with the real schedule for the week yet (and there were plenty of misleading reports out there to confuse you), here goes:

Today:  Eagles are free to trade veteran players and sign undrafted free agents.
Tomorrow:  First day of camp at Lehigh
Friday:  First day veteran free agents are eligible to be signed.

Eagles under contract have been reporting to Lehigh today already, and almost all of them should be there by this evening.

Kevin Kolb, by all accounts, is headed to Glendale to play for the Arizona Cardinals.  The Eagles will receive as compensation cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (a cousin of Antonio Cromartie), plus a yet to be determined draft pick.  Some have it as high as a #2.

Cromartie has the tools to be an excellent cover corner, but also makes a lot of mental mistakes and has been criticized for his seeming unwillingness to tackle hard.

He’s an immediate upgrade of everyone the Eagles had pencilled in at RCB, opposite Asante Samuel.

FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL.

Eagles camp opens at Lehigh on Wednesday.  We’re fired up, and the next couple of weeks are going to be organized chaos with trades, free agency, and camp all happening together.

We’re going to try and keep up here and we’d love you to join us.  As always, send tips to rumors@eaglesrumors.com
