Buy George!
According to Bob Brookover the Eagles aren't interested in acquiring new free agent Eddie George now that he's on the market. A few thoughts:
-George is from the Philly area, so you'd figure that the Eagles would have the inside track in signing him. I'd hate to see him in Dallas with an axe to grind against the Eagles and to bolster Parcells ground attack.
-George has a phenomenal work ethic and is a real leader. This guy is hard as nails and comes to win. Eddie George was born to be an Eagle. This sort of attitude towards the game would be welcome in a locker room sorely missing Duce Staley.
-True, George's production has declined of late, but he is still a terrific back who can handle the load. How much confidence do we have in Westbrook and Buckhalter to be healthy all season and to carry the load all by themselves if the other goes down? Having three backs isn't a problem.
Sign him to a one-year deal with a little cap money. What could it hurt?
