In light of the recent blockbuster trade for Jason Peters, a few more interesting developments(just rumors at this point) are starting to make there way around the Eagles' blog circuit.
First on the list, it has been reported that CB Sheldon Brown has requested a trade. As with most trade demands, money is the issue. While keeping relatively quiet about his current situation, apparently Brown believes his contract should be reworked to properly reflect his current value. While given a generous contract extension a few season ago, after seeing the money that has been thrown around the Linc lately, he feels some more should be thrown his way. It is extremely doubtful the Eagles will rework his current deal, so if Brown is truly unhappy and wants out, I see the Birds accommodating him and seeking a trade. Stay tuned on this one....
Secondly, the Eagles have indicated they may be willing to still trade up in this weekend's draft to make sure they get RB Knowshon Moreno from Georgia. While several mock draft boards have him still available when the Eagles pick at 21st, they may not want to take any chances on losing him to an earlier pick. This guy is a stud and ranked in many experts top ten available players. Along with Brian Westbrook, the Eagles would have something they haven't had in years, an dominating running attack that can make everyone forget about Anquon Boldin, or Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson. Lets all hope this is more than just rumor, as adding Moreno right after inking Peters has the Eagles' offensive looking a whole lot better.
