CBSportsline reports Howard Simon trade agreed to

Recognizing that this is effectively "whispering down the lane" CBS Sportsline has reported that a local Philadelphia radio station has reported

Just heard it on 610 WIP radio here in philly ... Anthony Gargano says that the Eagles traded Corey Simon to the Saints for Darren Howard and a 3rd round pick!! The trade wont be official until later today when Simon agrees to a long term deal with the Saints!! wow what a move by the Eagles and Saints!!

We don\'t have a 3rd round pick?

OMG!
If this is true...
Nope, not gonna get excited. My heart can\'t take it.
I\'ll believe it when I see if officiallized!

Oh I think we get the 3rd rounder, not Philly.

I just visited their message board ... and let me tell ya!!

Given the content of the threads over there ... I put NO credibility in the RUMOR.

That makes more sense than the other way, but given the salary differences a straight-up trade seems to make the most sense.

Although, now that I think about it, if the story is right then the fact that Simon has agreed on a long-term contract and is no longer a franchised free agent would 1) free up even more cap space for the Saints, and 2) significantly up his value ... especially if the Eagles still have to negotiate with Howard.

Man, I don\'t know about this. I can\'t find diddley poo on this anywhere. I\'ve looked at ESPN,NFL.com, KFFL and The eagles own site. I think I\'ll wait.

I don\'t know what to read into Haz stating that Howard \"has a 99% chance\" of staying, but I can read a lot into the Eagles getting rid of practically every vet who faxes what they think is their market value to the FO.

I\'m still hoping something goes down, I guess.

I hate rumors like this. Nothing against the post, or the poster, but...

We -already- knew Simon was a likely trade to the Saints, based on his current situation in Philly and the Saints near desperate need for a DT.

But now, after reading this post and scrambling for 20 minutes trying to out if it had any validity, I know exactly as much as I did before. Nothing.

I hate that.
