Competition for Lito?
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
A source tells Calvin Watkins of Fanhouse that the Jets have expressed interest in adding Adam "Pacman" Jones.
But according to Dave Hutchinson of The Newark Star-Ledger, the move is unlikely:
Say it ain't so. And it likely isn't. After all, the Jets have traded for cornerback Lito Sheppard and signed free agent cornerback Donald Strickland this offseason. And there are just too many strips clubs in Manhattan for Jones to stay on the straight and narrow.
The Eagles, of course, traded Sheppard to the Jets in late February.
Those of you who visit profootballtalk.com know that Drew Rosenhaus recently talked about Lito on his Twitter account.
"Lito Sheppard is starting for the Jets and anticipates having a big season," wrote Rosenhaus. "He likes Coach Ryan's scheme and style. He's healthy now too."
On a sidenote, Rosenhaus also tweeted about Eagles rookie tight end Cornelius Ingram, who we'll have more on here at MTC on Monday.
"Cornelius Ingram did very well in the Eagles mini camp and we are confident that the health of his knee is not an issue going forward."
So there you have it.
By the way, I'm scheduled to be on WIP's morning show Monday at 7:45 to discuss last week's post about the Eagles being ranked the fourth-best franchise in the NFL.
And in case you missed it, yesterday we wrote about Brandon Jacobs predicting a 13-win season (at least) for the Giants.
I can't believe football's still 3 months away.........— evolutionary- I cant believe Drew ($crooge)Rosenhaus is Ingram's agent, well that sucks......— tonygreeneagle5
- He pretty much represents all of the players from Florida and Miami. I can't stand him but we've had a lot of players represented by Rosenhaus over the years. I don't think he causes our FO any trouble with the vast majority of the players he's represented...just the few trouble-makers.— JimG

- 13 wins without Burress? Not happening.— p-diddy
- Yea, Ingram looked the best in shorts and t-shirt. Lets see how he is going across the middle and a Linebacker or safety is lining him up in the cross hairs for a big hit. Maybe after that, we can do the same for Drew, so he gets his clock cleaned and shuts the hell up.— Pat c

JimG, my trouble with Rosie is he enables his clients to be trouble makers. He was as much to blame for the T.O. mess as T.O. was and rather than telling his clients to honor what they signed is right in there encouraging them when they want to renege on their contracts.— tpizza- Drnnat, granted, JJ's scheme had a lot to do with it, but whenever the Eagles played either the Vikes, Raiders or Pats, Lito had the job of covering Moss, and Moss rarely had more than 80 yds receiving and only scored once that I remember. I think we'll be fine without Lito too, but let's not all of a sudden say he stunk - he was hurt a bit too much, but other than that was a Pro Bowl caliber CB...— ROBBASE22
- Valerie's article about Joe Banner not being your average Joe ("I got addicted to that feeling of helping people") had no section for comments...hmmmmmm.— ItalianSausage

- Nice job on the radio this morning Sheil. You are doing good work.— GoPhils09
- drnnat, I see your point, but he encourages players (Boldin, 8Cinco, T.O, Briggs, Lito) not to honor their contracts. Can you imagine if a construction company gets a contract and later says "well you know the gas is going up and we need to get a raise"— tonygreeneagle5
