Well, here we are less than 2 hours from free agency, and I have virtually no idea of what the Birds will do to improve the team. Key veterans B Dawk and Tra remained unsigned as we head into free agency. I also haven't heard any rumors of anyone the Birds are interested in signing.
I'm starting to wonder...is there anyone home? Are Banner and Reid asleep at the wheel? If they fail to re-sign Dawkins and Thomas, they will be losing the heart of their defense and D Mac's blindside protector. To make matters worse, it doesn't appear that a viable replacement for either is currently on the roster or available in free agency.
Personally, I'd love to see the Eagles resign both of their free agents, sign TJ Housh, add a RB and TE via the draft. It will never happen though. They would require too much of an upgrade to the skill positions and the Birds are never too keen on that. They seem like they get off on doing more with less.
The Birds are doing their best to take over the title formerly held by the Phils as the City's most frustrating front office.

i got a bad feeling.... i think we'll miss buck. if he signs in denver as suggested, he'll be a monster. this team never drafts a RB early, but we need a #2 RB now more than ever.
Well Dawkins is GONE now Too. Hey but at least we got Andrew's brother to watch and make sure he's not depressed. Not what I call a banner start to F-agency.
RIP out in Denver B-Dawk. I'll keep wearing your jersey.
even #20 took the money. No chance at winning and no chance at seeing all $17M. He gets 2 years and $9m more to add to the bank. I hate seeing legends end thier career elsewhere. Remember Emmitt in AZ.
20 was the best defensive player in the history of the franchise IMO. And certainly gave his all on every snap. He will be missed.
T - I hate to see this happen - as much as I may not be a fan of the Beagles, a player of Dawkins stature should not be allowed to walk away like this. This team is determined to consistently put profit over talent, and the fans are the ones that consistently get screwed. The Maple Leafs have been doing it here since the early 1980's, with nothing but aggravation to show for it.
I get the feeling it will be a while before there is much to cheer about in Phily (was going to take a shot, but don't want to kick a man when he's down).
What are you dead? The team is going down in flames and you're nowhere to be found?
