Rumor: Sproles to restructure with extension?

Great news, yeah Sproles' production was down but he still has the ability to be a difference maker (see Miami game). Great to see him help the team out too, it'll all be worth it when we get him that ring next year.

However we got this guy named Drew Brees that throws for 330+ yards per game.

Idk, I have never really been impressed with his return skills. I can't remember the last time he ripped one off. I do however think he has value in the way he is used on offense. He was having a great start this season. IDK what happened, maybe line play, maybe injury but he did quiet down towards the end. I think he still has a couple of years of serious play left in him though.

He was injured a lot last season, maybe even more than we knew or he let on. I would love the move.

LOL..... I can, and so can every fan in Philadelphia... If he doesn't get horse collared there's a good chance he takes that one to the house.

We may be better off then the teams he's played for, but we looked lot better with him as a decoy then Sproles. Nobody is scared if Sproles splits out wide at receiver.
