NFL free agency updates
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
Welcome to our live (kind of) blog of today's free agency action.
Here's how this will work.
Rather than create a new post every couple of hours, I decided to use our chat tool to keep you updated. When I see/hear free agency news or have a link to pass along, this is where you'll find it.
Note that this doesn't work like a typical chat where I approve all the comments and questions. I'll take a look at those and will try to answer them, but overall, I want to make this easy to read and follow for those of you trying to keep up with everything.
If you have a link or item that's not included, feel free to e-mail me and I'll take a look.
Enjoy.

Eagles should replace Sheldon Brown with Robinson from the Texans.— amann08- I've been saying it all along....move Sheldon to safety.— rtaylor1220
- eagles are gonna play no part in this free agency..its a shame— phillyphan55
- wow what an original idea :-/— Tyahav
Comment removed.- Guys Robinson grew up just outside Atlanta .. a falcons fan growing up . . when your drafted you have / almost / no say where you go . . as a free agent you have plenty of say . . He just wants to go ' Home ' . . of course get paid and play for his hometown team . . Tell me just how you fault the eagles for that ?? Too bad he didn't grow up in chester . . .— ingy9
- This is going to suck....Eagles relying on their "sacred" scouting reports where they think other team's leftovers are and will be better for the Birds than they were for their old team. I hate this team sometimes.— Bleue
- Phillyphan55.....where have you been? The Eagles make it exciting every year. I can't remember the last time they didn't do something in free agency. Stop with the negativity.— tfarnath

- Kampman would be a nice addition, if the Birds make a strong play for Antrel Rolle. Trading Mac5 to St.Louis (33rd pick) would give them room to draft a lineman and a linebacker early, using the remaining picks to address other needs.— khenders
- We don't want Kampan! His knee is done and he won't be the same player. I hope Eagles DONT sign him.— ChrisM
- The EAGLES FO is in CANADA pickin up more QUALITY GUYS. What a joke we are! Besides didn't we sign a RB and DE from there a couple of weeks ago. Talk about lining your pockets with money.I doubt if we make the playoffs.— daydreamer09
- Same old song with Lurie and Banner: outside Ricky Waters(just 3 years) Troy Vincent, Runyan,Kearse and Assante, what blue chip FAs have they signed since 94, Lurie's tenure???Remember T.O was a trade and they got him for next to NOTHING and only planned on him for 2 years??— mikey48
- I wonder if free agency dictates what the Eagles do in the draft and at QB. There were two plans I would be OK with going forward. First, if they planned on keeping McNabb, it would make sense to go after some of the top free agents to push this team over the top. Peppers at DE, Rolle at FS, maybe even push the envelope for Cromartie at CB (a former pro bowl CB, 25 years old, for a 3rd rounder??? I'd take the chance...). But that's not happening. That would lead to the second option, trade McNabb for a high pick, use the first 3 picks on DE, OT, and FS respectively, go with Kolb, and build around the young nucleus on this team. The option I see most likely occuring? Not trading McNabb, not adding any pieces via free agency. I would consider this offseason an abject failure. This team built as is and supplemented through the draft would not win a championship next year. Macho Harris is not the answer to FS and Abriamri will not step up at DE. They need to take a page out of the Phillies play book and fix glaring needs by going for some top flight talent. Its very frustrating to watch.— IgglesPhitinPhils3
- Tell me about it "IGGLES" same ol- same ol (year in and year out). I mean, we can't not get anybody "right" Three months 4 this BULLSH**— daydreamer09
- mikey48...are you an idiot? They can't get a big name every year and it proves they draft decently. Besides, they did make the playoffs 8 of 10 seasons under AR... You want to be like DC, signing big names and nothing to show for it except 5 head coaches.— palmyra21
- Forget about Donta Robinson from Houston. Atlanta is going to get a deal done today! This is going to be a slow trainwreck for us. Same old McNabb, same old story, same old crappy passes, same old ending!— Sharpy24
- hey tfarnath i said NOTHING about previous free agencies...im talking about this one. how about you read first..and as far as i'm concerned birds didn't do anything to add a star today.— phillyphan55
Its a shame the Birds arent more agressive in FA this year. Wildly overspending for so-so talent. Heres to hoping they hang onto McNabb and continue their recent tradition of good, but not good enough.- Today is just about what I expected from the Eagles. They are a directionless franchise going nowhere fast. While everyone in the world can see the deficiencies all over the roster, the people that matter turn a blind eye to them or are too delusional to acknowledge they exist. It is extremely frustrating to be a fan of this organization.

- They must be up to something if they released Will Witherspoon.— rtaylor1220
- Eagles saved 12.5 Million by releasing Witherspoon and Westbrook. Nice to know Eagles are saving money on a uncapped year when they could have used it to sign Peppers who would make our defense MUCH MUCH better. No instead they are trying to get a guy with a bad knee to save a few bucks. Man... I'm tired of this cheap organization that is happy with just making the playoffs everyyear. That is thier goal.. To make the playoffs, not to win the bowl.— ChrisM
- Unfortunately, my work does not permit streaming, so I can't get any of these updates.— skipper22
- Palmyra 21, so moron, u like a system that can get you there every year but unlike the Phillies CAN'T WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP?? The Redskins have 3 world titles with 3 diff QBs, Giants have 3, Dallas has 5, HOW MANY DO WE HAVE????— mikey48
- You got it Chris M, they are the endless penny pinchers? Penny smart and dollar stupid. Save the money to bring back the Andrews sistas and blow it on another bunch of endless scrubs. Lurie N Banner love that trophy for being under the cap every year!— mikey48
- Sheldon cant be CB. We're already weak there with toast Samuel.— Nezhy
- I know everyone is angry with the Eagles for not jumping into free agency. HOWEVER, something out of somewhere is telling me that the Eagles are doing the right thing. The Offseason is very far from being over.— Bthuff80
