With the additions of Pat Shurmur and Billy Davis to Chip Kelly's coaching staff, it is obvious that the team is intrigued by the Cleveland Browns organization, whether it has to do with the Lurie vs. Banner rivalry or Chip's visit with the Browns.

I don't think the Eagles are done poaching from the Browns. They will likely bring in at least one Browns free agent if not more for depth.

Sheldon Brown CB - Maybe a fit at FS with his good tackling ability as he is getting older and losing speed? Bringing back Brown as a short-term answer at S and leader could be a way for Chip Kelly to try to increase his popularity.

Joshua Cribbs WR/KR/PR - Cribbs would likely serve mainly a return role with the Eagles, allowing Jackson to play offense full-time.

Joe Haden, D'Qwell Jackson, Joe Thomas and Josh Cribbs, please.

Dude we have had years of epic faulire at the safety position and you want to bring in Sheldon brown to transition into a safety? Your an idiot.

I don't care what popularity Chip Kelly gets, I just want him to transform this team back to winning seasons to compete for a Lombardi Trophy. Why would you even say something stupid like this? Popularity?

You do realize Shurmur spent more time with the Eagles (1999-2009) than anywhere else don't you?

While that is true, it is interesting to note that both coordinators most recently coached for the Browns. It is possible that it is merely a coincidence as well.

Technically the browns ARE the poor man's Cleveland browns

Love when dudes say "your an idiot"

Oh, the irony.

[RPeeteRules]

Weren't the Browns the poor mans Eagles last year (Shurmur and Childress)?  What would that make the Eagles then if they took a couple of guys from the poor mans Eagles?

Sheldon Brown?  Really?  Let's get older and slower; that's how you rebuild a team!

I'm killing brain cells just reading this garbage.

"faulire"
Why would you even say something stupid like this?

In all seriousness, the Eagles should not be making Sheldon Brown and Joshua Cribbs their free agent targets, at least not primary targets.

[getch]

If we are the poor man's Browns then wouldn't that make the Chiefs the poor man's Eagles?  

[scott time]

The Browns weren't bad last year, especially their defense.  I had their Defense on several fantasy league teams and they kicked a**.

Shurmur probably had a big part in bringing in Davis, its not like Chip Kelly while at Oregon was ever enamoured with Davis, and Shumur is a guy the Eagles front office is comfortable with.

[GoEagles614]

I'm surrounded by browns fans in ohio. They're defense us much more physical than ours. Strong up front, big LBs, and strong secondary. Their O stinks.

I don't think this is resale any though to banner vs Laurie.

I'd be cool with Sheldon coming back and starting for a year or two. As old as he is, he was a solid starting CB last season. Can you say that about any CB on the Eagles roster?

What would Chip's staff have looked like if he took the job in Cleveland?

Is it considered poaching when the entire coaching staff was fired?

[sattymike]

About rebuilding the secondary, it depends on how much it gets blown up.  If you shed Nnamdi and one or more of the safeties and let DRC walk that's a lot of holes to fill.  Maybe more than can be filled in a single off season.  If you were looking for a short term stop-gap in FA at CB, you could do worse than Sheldon.  He had a good season last year and plays a physical game, which is something the Eagles have really gotten away from.

I'd like at least one veteran CB that doesn't run away from contact.

And how did he work out for Shurmur in Cleveland? Drafting the oldest QB in the draft was one of the reasons he got fired and the Browns are holding open QB competition.

[voodoochile75]

This is like the ultimate TATE troll/fishing attempt.

All the classics.

Bash the coaching staff, insult the Eagles, and the ultimate addition of Sheldon Brown being moved to safety.


kudos to a job well done.

I guess the "Sheldon Brown to safety" TATE fascination won't die until he retires from the NFL.
