Plenty of interest in Philly's Lito Sheppard Sunday, Mar 2, 2008 8:31 am EST It's only been 24 hours since the Philadelphia Eagles signed cornerback Asante Samuel, but they're already hearing from teams interested in trading for the cornerback Samuel replaced in the starting lineup. Profootballtalk.com, citing league sources, reported several teams are showing preliminary interest in trading for cornerback Lito Sheppard. Those teams include the Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns, St. Louis Rams and New York Jets. A team can never have too many good cornerbacks, and the Eagles could choose to keep Sheppard, especially if they move right cornerback Sheldon Brown to safety. But given how much interest there is in Sheppard, it seems more likely that he'll be shipped elsewhere. Source: Profootballtalk.com
I think this is already posted...and I also think that Cimini basically said the Jets aren't interested in him. ...but who knows.
Yeah, I can't see the Eagles letting Lito go without getting more than enough in return for him, especially from a team like the jets who doesnt have much to give up
The funny part is that the guys who were calling most passionately for this kind of offseason action are the ones who just can't admit that this is what they wanted. Probably because they didn't believe this would happen.
