April 19, 200422 yr Didn't see anything on kffl or anywhere else about it. You hear this on the radio? I wonder if the Bears get any picks in return or if its just straight up.
April 20, 200422 yr All I know is Simon had 7.5 sacks last year and is a very good pash rushing DT. He's 27, so very young and is really a force. He'd be an amazing upgrade to the defensive front. I'm hoping they get a 2nd or 3rd rounder from the Eagles, but who knows. I hope this is true though, he's a very good tackle.
April 20, 200422 yr I saw a few places report that the Eagles were trying to move up to the 16th overall selection so they can grab Stephen Jackson. Their are also rumors of the Cowboys wanting to move up to get him. If thats the case, then it makes sense why the Eagles would covet our pick and Angelo appears to be willing to move down or make a trade. Still, WSox I hope your right and have just scooped all the other places Now for a trade rumor. The latest rumor is the Bears dealing their 1st and 3rd round picks to the Dolphins for Oguleyne and their 1st round pick (20th overall). I can see the Bears doing that, but good god, if Miami did that, WOW. I know one thing as a Bear fan, I'd be happy.
April 20, 200422 yr All I could see is that it was an internet rumor from the Eagles message board from a guy who supposedly knew a guy (ya, that whole inside source thing).

April 20, 200422 yr I saw Simon in some of the eagles games and he would be perfect in this system. And he is the missing ingrediant to what the bears nned... a DT. Here's a Draft Report on him which was in that rumor.. An inside player with thick legs and good strength. Physical. Has an impressive combination of quickness, power and athletic ability. Tough run defender with a quick first step and the ability to pressure gaps. Leads with his hands. Plays with good leverage and balance. Gets tied up at times, but he fights the double team well and holds his ground. Moves well laterally. Good inside pass rusher. Keeps his feet active on his charge. Spins in control. Good at getting his hands up. Shows a strong closing burst. Had some shoulder problems early in his career.
April 20, 200422 yr here you go, sorry for the holdup http://www.kffl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67017 Cool...I guess something is going on. One of the people that responded to the post was someone that covers the Eagles and he said he didn't know what was going on, but something was happening.
