Brown to the Browns. And Gocong.

The Eagles continued their offseason house cleaning today, trading Sheldon Brown and Chris Gocong to the Browns for linebacker Alex Hall and a fourth (#105) and fifth (#137) round pick. This is basically a trade the Eagles have wanted to make since last year but couldn't because of depth issues at cornerback. Sheldon has been unhappy with his contract for a while now, so it shouldn't come as a suprise that he's gone now. Whether or not it's a good thing though remains to be seen.

Six Eagles in Pro Browl, None Named Sheldon Brown

Your 2010 NFL Pro Bowl team was named today, and as the title reads, Sheldon Brown was not one of them. Sad news, too, as many believe the reason that Brown hasn't received the notoriety and -- more importantly -- the money he deserves is due to the fact that he's never been an all-star in the league. Fifty-one tackles, five picks, a forced fumble, two touchdowns...and no Pro Bowl. Jason Peters even made it from some reason!  Remember this snub when the Eagles' front office refuses to pay the man this offseason.  

On a brighter note, the Birds are tied for second with six players selected and DeSean Jackson becomes the first player IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL to be voted in for two separate positions. Congrats to him -- I called a Pro Bowl year for him before the season started.
