Sproles to eagles

[drop dead fred]

Adam schefter reporting saints trade sproles to eagles... Greeeeeaaaat I would've loved to have seen him in Dallas (I knew it wasn't gonna happen) but I love watching him know instead he'll be carving our "defense" up twice a yr

Just heard that, I'm afraid the eagles are gonna be pretty strong this year.

He's going to eat us alive

Chip Kelly will have a lot to work with in that offense. I'm still not 100% sure about Nick Foles. If the eagles can improve their defense, they should be the team to beat in the NFC east.

Im thinking the same thing.

He was amazing to watch at K State when he was playing. He did great stuff there and continues to do great stuff...

Chip Kelley is living an offensive wet dream.. He has a seriously potent offense. And everyone else in his division is dismantled.

Dallas will have a worse defense in 2014 than 2013..... Somebody needs to ship paper grocery bags from NOLA to Dallas

If utilized correctly this can be a good move for the Eagles, but as of right now i'm not 100% sure this was a solid pick up.

Lets not forget Sproles is 30 year old (will be 31 when season starts) RB and he was in a high powered offense with the Saints but his production was very limited and towards the end of the season non existent. The Eagles also have McCoy who will be their feature back so it'll be interesting to see how he is used.

I will say there is lots of upside to this pick up but time will tell

Has Dallas done anything to get better? All I have seen is they released Ware. I think Philly is going to be awfully tough to beat out of the Division crown next season. The other teams will be playing for a wild card berth.

[CaptainDave]

What I find strange about Philly is they have something like 7 former Texans players on their roster.

if you have enough offensive weapons, all the QB has to do is manage the game, and don't turn the ball over during crucial times. Foles did exactly that last year and he will only get better with more reps in Kelly's smoking mirrors offense.

Brady, Manning, and Brees are great QB's to have on your roster, if you want gaudy numbers; however teams have won the SuperBowl with QB's who just manage the game .. i.e. Wilson, Johnson, Dilfer, Flacco

I agree if PHI improves their defense they could be contenders in the conference, not just the division

I don't follow a lot of football outside of Fantasy Football but that's exactly my thought on Philly. Foles is a beast and he just got another viable weapon in that already dynamic offense. I don't see how this won't make them better.

The Eagles gave up a 2014 5th round pick for Darren Sproles. I'd call that a solid pick up.

As an Eagles fan I'm very pleased with the pick up of Sproles. Foles had a magical season last year and I think it foolish to expect the same this next year but he is a solid qb with great weapons that will make him shine.

[Heath]

Really nice pick up for the Eagles. I can see him doing well under Chip Kelly.

I hope his wife is happy now that he got a good fit.
