Steve Smith Pulls A Fast One On NY

I love it, I absolutely love it. How could anyone not be excited about seeing the Eagles play?



Yesterday they signed former Giant Steve Smith to a 1 year 5 million dollar deal. You have to laugh about absolutely awful this offseason has been for the Giants. Not only have they had to watch the Philadelphia Eagles load up on free agents and trades at a crazy pace, but they lost tight end Kevin Boss to the Oakland Raiders, first-round cornerback Prince Amukamara is out for an undetermined length of time with a foot injury, and defensive end Osi Umenyiora is pissed about his current contract and would like to go elsewhere.



This is a great move for the Eagles who may be without for Jeremy Maclin for a little bit. But signing another pro bowl receiver to a squad that already has Desean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Jason Avant and Brent Celek is awesomely overkill.



The Eagles have ruled the offseason and their is nothing anyone else could do about it.

Steve Smith Talks About Trade Demand

Receiver Steve Smith says he hasn't demanded a trade but has asked the Carolina Panthers to be "in a competitive situation." Smith contacted Pro Football Weekly on Tuesday so he could clear up reports that he wanted out of Carolina.

"These people that keep writing these articles, none of them have even spoken to me. What I want to do is be classy and not tip my cards, be respectful to the [Panthers] organization," he told the publication. It's not me saying, 'Yes, I want a trade.' It's still a family matter, and when my family feels it's the appropriate time, our actions will show how we feel (ESPN)."

Let me translate this for you. "I want out of Carolina, but I am trying to show that I am not as big of a douchebag that people think I am". That's really all this is. I don't think there is anyway Steve Smith plays for Carolina, and if you're Carolina you shouldn't want him back. He is a contantly pissed off WR that snaps a moments notice, and you have a rookie QB that really doesn't need his BS. Sure, it would be nice for Newton to have a guy like him to throw to, but it's really time for this team to move on and let Newton to be the leader of this team, since they used a #1 pick on him and I just don't see Steve Smith helping that cause.
