Unexpected for me. What does this mean? Buh Bye Bryce? Dont know what was involved in the trade.

It means we snagged one helluva ballplayer Bro!!!

[FRESH]

How happy would you be if they traded Desean for him, LOL!

What did we give for him? Brad Smith maybe? Probably a pick.

Supposedly a 5th rounder.

Wonder how Sproles feels about it. He vehemently stated that he wanted to be cut, not traded.

[dawkins20]

didn't think he was needed. But he is a weapon.

we should basically be done on offense at this point, no?

we will be tough to defend with all of these options

I wonder if we traded a player or a pick/conditional pick?

[12dickau4pres]

Didn't I read somewhere his rushing stats are on par with Nick Foles

If he can contribute to the punt and return game this is a good move

[dawkins20]

he's a receiving option

I dare defenses to cover all the weapons we already have AND Sproles

he won't do much of anything as a runner. Keith Byars with speed

[stevemc]

Yeah - he isn't much of a running threat but I am really excited to see what Chip can do with him in the passing game. Bubble screens out the ass! I actually think this move could open a path for a Desean trade bc Sproles could serve a lot of the same role as DJax for the LOS type plays.

Sproles, Shady, Desean, DJax, Maclin, Cooper, Celek, Ertz........how many receiving options can you make use of?

[kyfred]

I like him as a second or third RB, we finally address the the PR/KR position and the guy actually can be used elsewhere. I have to wonder what happens to Casey and Brown. I could see us going heavy with TE/RB and Sproles also serving as that last WR. Sproles should eb happy and a 5th would not bring what Sproles can to this team. if we get rid of Smith, Damaris Jackson some of the other WR that create no fear and use Spoles in a similar fashion to how Westbrook was used, we should be much better off. I like the pick and I like not exposing DJ to return duties.

[FRESH]

Dunno about that. Rodney Harrison was a 5th round pick. LOL!

I haven't yet seen this report corroborated - could just be speculation at this point.

KFFL reports it's a done deal. Birds gave up a 5th rd pick in this years draft. Not sure how this will work out but I'm sure Chip will figure out a way to get Sproles involved.

I just saw a tweet on the Eagles site, so I guess that this is a done deal. Great! We just traded Sopoaga for Sproles - Fantastic trade!
