Darren Sproles moving to Eagles

[shakedownstreet]

 

Running back Darren Sproles, who Wednesday expressed a desire to be released by the New Orleans Saints, will be traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, a league source tells ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

 

 

The Saints will receive a fifth-round draft pick from the Eagles in return, the source said Thursday.

Man, the Saints are having a fire sale! 

 

 

Pretty good deal for the Eagles actually.

Sunuva

 

Sproles is Colts Kryptonite.

Sproles and McCoy is going to be one heckuva duo.

Thus begins the inexorable slide into irrelevance and ignominity...

Good signing for the Eagles. Not sure what is going on with the Saints.

i'm just relived he didn't end up in new england

[BrentMc11]

Sproles in that fast paced offense could be absolutely lethal.....

[Shive]

The Eagles got that 5th rd pick from trading Isaac Sopoaga to NE last year (who didn't work out), so I'd say in the end that its an amazing value for the Eagles.

I'm scared of him there with McCoy.

Great pick-up for Philly.

 

I'm already NOT looking forward to facing the Eagles this year.

 

That is not going to be a fun day.........................................

I bet Brees is not any more happy with this move than Rivers was when AJ let him go.  Sproles is the kind of player that contributes more than his stats might lead you to believe.

 

I'm sorry he didn't get to pick the team he was going to play for, but this could turn out to be a good move for him.

 

I love the guy.  He has so much heart, he's a total team player and there is NOTHING more fun than watching him upend a 300 lb+ guy in pass coverage, LOL!

Saw that Sproles went to the Eagles on a free agency tracker, it read Sproles- New Team: Eagles

 

My mind saw Sproles- New _team England...

 

that second before I realized he was an Eagle and not a Pat, sucked...

The Saints could not get a better draft pick than a 5th rounder for Sproles? It is a great trade for the Eagles. Their offense will be unstoppable.

[Dustin]

That offense is going to be ridiculous. I can't wait to see how it goes when Chip gets a mobile QB.

This team can challenge the defenses of Seattle and SF..

 

Great move done cheap

Yeah, especially if Foles continues to develop as well as he is. I'd still take the Seahawks/49ers over the Eagles right now, but hey, anything could happen in the NFL and the offseason isn't over yet.
