I guarantee that they will sign Jacobs if he is released. They love signing Skins.

A one year deal and I assume its cheap. Not that bad to be honest. THeir receivers can't shake a stick at us but gaffney comes from a POS team. Brandon Lloyd also comes from a POS team. The thing that impresses me about Brandon is that he did very well compared to his teammates. Looking at his numbers in comparison you can see that he had 2x more than any other player on his team receiving. That is not common. Moss did not have 2x cooley. Only 4 other players could say that they had 2x the amount of yards receiving than anyone on their team. All four of those can also say they have been to a pro bowl in the past two years.

Enough about Lloyd, I think Gaffney is a solid pick up. Their receivers suck but Gaffney is a good investment. They might strike gold...

What a copycat. No, Im just kidding. Did anyone else notice that they also got Jeff Garcia? I think thats a prett big pickup as a backup, because we all know first hand that all of their backups were second rate citizens. Im definitely not saying that Jeff Garcia is the answer, but he can handle the ball a bit bitter than McMahon or Detmer.

Re: Eagles solve WR problems
 

Gaffney is solid. He is no Lloyd.

Is the same [B]Davis[/B] that made that play in that game against those guys on that day? If so, he [I]is[/I] good

Seriously, PWNED who's this Davis guy you're talking about that we got?

Re: Eagles solve WR problems
 

i think he confused andre davis and andre carter.

Maybe he meant Geena Davis...She's 6', maybe she could be that possession receiver we apparently are sorely lacking!
