Eagles Sign TE Alex Smith

If we're thinking trade, it won't be easy. Reggie Brown is the popular choice, but they would take a cap hit. Not to mention the market for Reg isn't very large.

I think they got an upgrade today but I feel the roster is still far from finalized. I'm so excited for Sunday but still extremely curious as to what this roster may look like when it's "finished."

I agree completely Freak. Someone is going to get traded, but I don't know if they will bring back Curtis at TE if a trade gets done. Probably would be smart though considering if Celek gets hurt, Alex Smith can't block worth a damn. Didn't they put TE Rob Myers on the practice squad? Maybe they are holding on to him for insurance???

If no team picks Curtis up, the Eagles could bring him back- once they make the appropriate roster moves.

I see this as the Eagles trying to hold onto some trade bait for awhile longer (wide receiver?). If and when they make a trade, they may have the opportunity to bring Curtis back.

I don't know. Just thinking out loud.

Wasn't it King that said the Eagles weren't interested in Smith? Nice speculation, poor reporting.

If they keep 7 receivers and just 2 tight ends I think we will see them try some sort of shotgun spread offense this year. They got a good slot guy in Avant and a Celek is primed for a breakout year. Maclin(eventually) and DeSean are the burners to stretch the D on the outside.

or perhaps they have no intention to ever run the ball
