The Eagles have traded wideout Greg Lewis to New England for a fifth-round pick in this year's draft. The Pats also get a seventh-rounder in 2010, a source close to the situation said.

Karma works in strange ways.
On the same day the Cowboys parted with Terrell Owens, the Eagles have traded Owens' most fervent Eagles 
acolyte, reserve wideout Greg Lewis, to New England. The Birds get a fifth-rounder this year, bringing them up to an even dozen picks in the April 25-26 draft. They send the Pats a 2010 seventh-rounder.
Lewis entered the league as an Eagles undrafted free agent in 2003 (that was the year all the guys they drafted stunk and all the undrafted free agents they signed were good. Go figure). He showed promise, humor and wit, before falling under the spell of Darth Owens during T.O.'s two-year sojourn in green. Lewis, badly overmatched when the Eagles made him a starter following Owens' suspension in 2005, quickly soured on the media and spent the rest of his Eagles career being surly and sarcastic. He had good hands, and was an able special teams performer, though this past season he seemed to take an inordinate amount of special teams penalties.
For some reason, Pats coach Bill Belichick has always coveted Lewis. Belichick was able to make Jabar Gaffney into a productive wideout after the Eagles released him, so maybe he knows something we don't.
He just never cut it.— Norm3- hilarious that we got ANYTHING for a guy whose name we never shoulda known, much less been dubbed "G-Lew".— wjh150

- Good!— jaydes
- Good Ridiance! Wasn't that one of Coach Andy's favorite receivers?— louvbrown
Yeah Les- what he knows is he has a QB who makes WR's better and we don't.- This guy was one of the biggest stiffs in the history of this city. I don't care if he caught a TD in the SB. The fact he is no longer on this team is the best news of the offseason.— davekrieg
- Clearing a roster spot for T.O. or Chad Johnson? LOL
- There goes a catch a game.— Bobphxville
Comment removed.- I hope this means we are picking up T.O.— Eagles Phan in LI
- Comment removed.
- Maybe we now have a roster spot to bring Reno Mahe back.— Eagles Phan in LI
- "maybe he knows something we don't." I would have thought that was a given. Just compare the Patriots' organization's success to the Eagles" organization success.— Doubtful
- They didn't give the rest of the league a chance to counter? : D— ItalianSausage
