I know people jump on the Hank Baskett bandwagon. Remember the Birds flat out cut the dude. I see they are talking to him though.

True dat, though I seem to remember that the reason we cut Baskett instead of Brown, was because Brown's cap hit was too big?
And we cut him to make room for TDK........"Philly fans are great....It's the only place where you pull up on the bus and you've got the grandfather, the grandmother, the kids and the grandkids - everybody flicking you off. At other stadiums, they give you the thumbs-down. Here, they give you the middle finger.”

Baskett is a guy that knows the offense already and knows the players. He may just have 2 or 3 more good years in him but we know he is a high effort guy. I say bring him back in and make him the 5th wideout and then draft a guy late to groom to replace him or Curtis because as we are all aware and I can't believe I'm saying this.... as long as Jackson and Maclin get their money which I think they will injuries aside we have 3 really good WRs and 1 to possibly 2 very good TEs.You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window.

I'm not sure who is pining away for Baskett, but is anyone really against bringing him back? Let's look at this logically....
We have our top 3 set already. Brown is gone, and Curtis may still be a question mark. Gibson would be the guy that took Baskett's spot, but we know what happened to him. There is room to add another fill-in / back up WR, and I really can't see the Eagles spending a pick of consequence on a WR in the draft. So.......http://shop.cafepress.com/content/global/img/spacer.gifOK, let's try this again...

SF I was making that point to my misses the other night because she is one of those that watches that E crap sometimes. I really do think HB should be resigned and if he survives camp then great. But if I were AR I would bring Hank in and say I don't want your wife near the NovaCare complex or going on Philadelphia media and saying anything about football. Hank is a football player and wants to be on a team and likes it in Philly. I think he wouls say yes sir, and collect his $750 thousand bucks to be the 5th WR and gunner and that would be that. He is physical... you have to admit that.You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window.

Let's look at thing logically fellas.HB comes in as the #5 guy assuming Curtis stays.Baskett as the #5 guy makes alot of sense unless the Coaches really like Collins or Norwood.Drafting ANYBODY to play WR makes no sense at all. HB is a really good ST guy so why not?Just give me ONE before I go!
