Pack steals an Eagle....he he >>“It came down to the fact that I had to fix the team right away with a player,” Sherman said, “and when you get a fourth (-round pick) back it’s really like giving away a third. Based on his play last year, he was definitely worthy of that.” The trade appears to be a good one for the Packers, at least according to a scout from a team that’s a rival of the Eagles in the NFC East Division. Williams was a decent cover corner who demonstrated little physical presence against the run. He’s looking for a contract that will include a signing bonus of $3.5 million or so. Harris not only is cheaper — he’ll make a $1.05 million base salary this year and $1.15 million in 2004 — he also might be a better player. “(Harris) is an upgrade over Williams,” the scout said. “That’s a good trade for them. If you look at him, he has size, speed, he’s physical. He’s a complete player.” << >>The surprise in the Glenn trade is that new Cowboys coach Bill Parcells did the deal even though most NFL teams knew the Packers likely would cut Glenn when his $500,000 roster bonus was due March 4. The Packers said they received an undisclosed 2004 draft pick. It’s believed to be a sixth-round pick.<< packersnews.com

Gloop, although all I heard all year was how weak the Eagles secondary was and could be beaten with ease, Harris will start for you guys. Harris couldn't start here and the younger guys ( Brown and Sheppard ) have a year in now and need to play more. He'd been promised 2 years ago that if he couldn't start here, they would move him so he could. So, they kept their word. Not surprising to a team Reid knows well. I think the trade helps you guys; Harris is an upgrade to what you have. He's a good cover corner; only issue is the once a game stupid penalty. Eagles I think will be using the pick to move up in the draft. If so, trade helps both teams short term and long term.
