Is Tank Johnson even that good? If it wasn't for all his legal issues, I don't think we'd even know who the hell he is.
If I'm an NFL team, I'm much more likely to take a shot of PacMan than Tank (if I'm taking a shot).

About time they added some fatties to the line. Sean Payton wrote the textbook on how to beat the Eagles last year. The Saints and the Titans game showed that if you get into manageable 3rd downs or better yet commit to the run and stick with it that you can truck the smallish fastball DT's and linebackers all day. Watching Consindine get housed week after week got old.

Bill Maas, a former NFL player who moved to game broadcasts, was arrested in East Peoria, Ill. late Friday after police found a handgun and an assortment of drugs in his vehicle during a roadside safety check. Police found a .22-caliber revolver, five grams of suspected marijuana, six grams of suspected cocaine and 28 pills of Ecstasy, police said.
Wow it looks like someone was planning on a HUGE party for the weekend...

I think he's always been a little suspect in coverage and has been hurt for most of the last 2 seasons.
He's friends with McNabb and trains with Dawk in the off-seasons, so I'm sure they would have taken a look if they really thought he could help them...who knows.

I just figured him being friends with McBeard and having the injury questions would give Banner a hard-on to try and sign him on the cheap. I don't recall him being bad in coverage with the Jags. He seemed to give the Colts a fit anytime they played. But I only watched the Jags sparingly.

fwiw
my guess, he's at the end of the line.
if he had anything left, dont you think a team like the colts or pats or even the birds would have wanted some decent DB depth.
no pun intended, he wound up in the black hole for a reason

Plus, the Eagles get a league mandated stipend for keeping a caucasian starting in the secondary. It's part of their affirmative action program to promote diversity in the locker room.

Apparently there will be a fat bag of AIDS available soon- Colts looking to cut Simon, have activated him from the PUP list- the 1st step in gettin his lazy ass outta town is the thinking there.

So... the Birds already released Bethel Johnson?
Bloom must be displaying some nice Special Teams bubble.

If he's under 400 lbs., I'd take him in a heartbeat!

Bethel had a stress fracture on his foot so they released him. He signed with another team a couple days ago...can't remember who.
That said, Bloom's bubble was never in question. It's excellent.

Still stung by leaguewide criticism over passing on Reggie Bush, the Houston Texans continue to work the rep of that front office towards respectability by STEALING Bethel Johnson out from under the noses of the Eagles- who stated at the time they released him due to his inability at the time to pass a physical, that they wanted him to return when healthy!
GO TEXANS!

is that the same corey simon who many dark-sided levelers here ripped the eagles for allowing him to slip through their fingers ?
once again, papa bird makes the right choice while ruling the roost.
btw, in a non-sequitar issue, someone told me today that trotter is down about 15 lbs from last yr's weight, in an effort to take some pressure off his knees.

That Freeney deal is nuts. He's a great pass rusher, but he's coming off a pretty bad season and I can't believe they couldn't leverage that.
With Peppers entering FA next year, you have to believe the bar has been set and someone will have to pay him a minimum of $30 million upfront.
