The Philadelphia Eagles just dug thier heels in the ground. They had moved in the past year from a very good team to a good team, by franchising LJ Smith the Eagles are showing the NFC that they are happy where they are. By promising to pay Smith as a top 5 Tight End the Eagles are extending an olive branch to Donavon McNabb and those that still see sunshine through the window of opportunity.
I am of the belief that it is always better to rebuild at the first signs of failure rather than be a plugger. What I see now is the third best team in the NFC East. A team that besides one of the top 3 running backs in football feaures an aging offensive line, no impact wide recievers, and a QB who is looking over his shoulder so much he looks like a middle school boy on the family computer at 2:00 am. Now add an overpriced and overrated TE and do you think you the Giants are worried, even if they're playing in East Rutherford.
