the apparent source has a source that knew about the Buckner trade in advance for San Fran.

Said they would make the move by the 4pm deadline. And then said trades can and will still happen throughout weekend.

Of course now the weekend is about over, and the 4pm deadline is past.

But I wooonder if the surprising LeBlanc release makes a little more sense now if they are planning on receiving another CB?

Not at all. You are a troll plain and simple. You bring nothing to the table, and 99% of the board thinks you are an idiot.

SF can use a WR. We can use another starting CB. Witherspoon in last year of his contract. It makes some sense. 

Can someone explain to me what the Eagles are doing with LeBlanc?  I understand he doesn't hit the waiver wire, and they will most likely re-sign him tomorrow to a new deal.  Don't they risk another team swooping in to get him?  He's a decent slot corner, and that position becomes more and more important every year.  What if someone wants to offer him a 2 year deal?  

The Eagles would be totally screwed if they lost LeBlanc.  They have zero depth at corner already.

Agreed.  The LeBlanc release would make more sense. 

IMO, Singleton may have been the safest cut.  But his is now the first LB off the bench as the two rookie LBs are probably not ready for game play.

They had to cut someone to make room for Huntley, with the idea of re-signing him a day later when the dust settles after making a couple of IR moves. Seeing as how three of their last cuts were actually claimed on waivers, it's likely that the Eagles were worried that if they expose the 53rd (now 54th) player to waivers, he would be claimed as well. They didn't want that to happen. So to get around this, they chose to release a player who had enough experience in the league that he would not be subjected to waivers. It's obvious they'll re-sign him tomorrow. Is it a risk that he'll sign somewhere else overnight? Theoretically, I suppose, but if you have a good relationship with the player and explain to him what's going on, I don't think it's too much of a concern.

Looking at the roster, LeBlanc probably was the most expendable from a week 1 gameday perspective. Epps is the 3rd safety with Parks out and a valuable STs contributor. James and Ford are major STs contributors, and Howie said yesterday continuity there is more important now with no PS reps. Singleton is the #4 LB. Was a tougher decision than I acknowledged initially; hope they get LeBlanc back. If I were a team needing a nickel back, I'd offer him a 2 year deal right now.

LeBlanc will be re signed tomorrow.  Everyone looking to far into this.

not really. the rumor was independent of the LeBlanc release. 

Just saying, with that rumor out there, the release would have made more sense.

Not even referencing the 9er rumor.  They knew if they made a successful claim someone would have to be released then re signed. I am positive that they had already told LeBlanc he would be released and re signed.

Cards did not sign Hakeem Butler to their  practice squad.  We still have a spot.  Go get him Howie.

Let’s all make an agreement to not feed or quote that troll as long as he spouts drivel.

So now we’re loaded at WR?  Which WR would you ship?

the rumor is Jeffery for Ahkello Witherspoon. 

We get rid of the Jeffery contract and get a servicable starting CB in the last year of his contract in return. It fills an immediate need and offers some cap relief for next season.

Should be a TE.  Add ten pounds and learn to block.

Would be a perfect complement to Reagor, Quez and Hightower.

If it were only that easy. Howie is not that good anymore. Who ever came up with that rumor has to be an Eagles fan.
