The Eagles have dealt seldom used wide receiver Greg Lewis to the Patriots, according to NFL Network guru Adam Schefter. The little man known as G-Lew lasted seven seasons in Philly. Amazing. He gave it his all but dropped passes and inconsistency hindered his development.
No word yet on what the Birds got in return. I doubt it was more than 6th or 7th round pick. This makes the second trade during the free-agency period. Maybe they’re making room for Terrell Owens? Chirp… chirp… chirp. Sorry, bad joke. More to come.
Update: The deal was for a 2009 draft pick, possibly a 5th according to Dave Spadaro. In addition, the Birds shipped a pick in 2010 to the Pats. This gives the Eagles 12 picks in the upcoming draft. They are primed to make some serious noise come April. Stay tuned.
Update part deux: It is a 5th round pick in April’s draft. They sent a 7th rounder in 2010 to the Pats along with Lewis. Also, Shawn Springs has agreed to terms with the Patriots. The search for safety depth continues. Please don’t bring up the name Roy Williams. He could never cover, is damaged goods, and seems to have lost his passion for the game.

I'm still shocked anyone, let alone Belichick, would want Lewis. Maybe he remembers that sweet over-the-shoulder catch for 6 in the Super Bowl? I'll take a 5th rounder, that's for sure.
