Omar Gaither

Source: Yardbarker.com If I had to list a few of my favorite Eagles, I’d mention guys like DeSean Jackson , Brent Celek , Stewart Bradley and Leonard Weaver . But to round out my top 5, I’d put a guy that isn’t really a commonly mentioned name as far as favorites go. That man would be linebacker Omar Gaither . I know I’ve mentioned a few times but I played some ball back in my day. And players that I played with and against that I really respected were guys that you could put in...Read Full Story

The Saints signed linebacker Matt McCoy on Sunday and threw him onto kick coverage teams against the Jaguars, where he made a good late tackle to draw welcoming applause. McCoy, a starter for the Eagles since he was drafted in the second round of the 2005 draft out of San Diego State, lost his starting job and was cut by Philadelphia last Monday.. McCoy drew a $7500 fine for a late hit on Vikings punter Chris Kluwe. McCoy missed time last year with a neck stinger and in 2006 due to hip and...Read Full Story

Let's have a look at the Philadelphia Eagles team members whose contracts expire after the 2009 NFL season. On this list is Winston Justice, Tank Daniels, Sean Jones, Rashad Baker, Chris Gocong, Jason Avant, Max Jean-Gilles, Hank Baskett, Omar Gaither, Nick Cole, and Dan Klecko. Both Hank Baskett and Jason Avant have carved out nice roles in the Eagles offense, especially Jason Avant. He's developed very nicely as a trusty 3rd down receiver out of the slot and I'm pretty sure the Eagles will...Read Full Story

Here's an early look at the free agents to be after this season for the Eagles: Winston Justice, WR Jason Avant, LB Chris Gocong, G Max Jean-Gilles, LB Omar Gaither, WR Hank Baskett, FB Dan Klecko, C/G Nick Cole, LB Tank Daniels, S Sean Jones, S Rashad Baker. Wide receivers Jason Avant and Hank Baskett have helped the Eagles offense over the years and have made some key contributions. Jason Avant has developed nicely as a reliable target on 3rd downs and in the slot, so I think the Eagles...Read Full Story

The deadline for NFL teams to sign players and have a portion of their salary count against this year's cap is today at 4 p.m. Unlike previous years, however, the Eagles will not be taking advantage of that rule for a number of reasons. One is that 19 of their 21 starters are signed beyond this season. The only two potential free agents after this season are tight end L.J. Smith and fullback Thomas Tapeh, and it is possible that neither player will be in an Eagles uniform a year from now...Read Full Story

Omar Gaither became the latest Eagle to sign his one-year tender. I’m still not sure he has a role on the team, what with his multiple benchings and recovery from a Lisfranc jinury. We shall see. In other unexciting news, the NFL finally unveiled its preseason schedule. Hooray! The Eagles will open at home with the Jaguars , then travel to Cincinnati for a primetime FOX tussle, followed by a trip to Kansas City , before finally closing out the summer at home against the Jets . The Bungals...Read Full Story

More bad news for the Eagles. At his weekly presser, Andy Reid revealed kinda sorta starting middle linebacker Omar Gaither has a Lis Franc sprain that will require surgery, thus ending his 2009 season. And the hits keep coming!
