Speaking in a Tuesday morning radio interview, free agent Plaxico Burress confirmed "nothing" would make him happier than signing with the Eagles.
While damaging his leverage on the open market, Burress also claimed the Eagles had "a lot of interest" in him last offseason. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane, that was not the case.
Well, McLane's wrong. Because Reid admitted Plax was option #1 and Steve Smith was the backup plan when he signed elsewhere.
Thoughts on Kuechly? He's been the most linked name to us, although I'm sure those guys aren't aware of our 1st round/LB draft history. But if we do what we usually do (become aware of a glaring problem too late) and end up drafting a LB, what do you think?
Ran a 4.58 40 time (3rd amongst LB's) and has a 38.0 inch vert (also 3rd). 1st in the 60 yard shuttle and 3rd in 20 yard shuttle.

Wouldnt mind him but I think I'd look at DT first, then LB (thinking maybe Eagles could land one in free agency).
I hope you get Plax, because if there is something an underachiveing team needs, it's rats waiting to jump the ship the first time things don't work out for them. GO PLAX GO!
Are there any other people just out of jail the Eagles can snatch up? Damn halfway house over there.
