    The Eagles gotta guy named Hank Baskett that was a undrafted free agent from Minnesota. I heard on the radio the guys saying that Minn's Coach and former Eagles coach Brad Childress and Andy Reid have a extremely close relationship. They said that it could be a possibility that Baskett could have been more of a thank you gift to Andy Reid from Childress. The guy has been a shining light in camp and pre-season so far. Hopefully this carries on into the regular season. Your thoughts???

    Childress actually wanted Billy in Minnesota too teach the system that the eagles ran to the other receivers. Little did he know how good Baskett would be. I was listening to eagles training camp and that is what they said was the reason for the trade.

Im sure if the Vikings had known they wouldnt have pulled the trigger on the move. lol
