Trade-happy Eagles also list Demps, Harris among cuts

Football Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defensive backs Quintin Demps and Macho Harris, both of whom were contributing members of the Philadelphia Eagles last season, were among the players released as the team pared its roster to the 53- player maximum on Saturday.

Demps, who played in 25 games for the Eagles over two seasons, lost his job as the primary kickoff return man last season and could not navigate a crowded field of secondary candidates during the 2010 preseason.

Harris' fall from grace was a bit more steep, as the 2009 fifth-round pick out of Virginia Tech went from an eight-game starter last season to off the roster altogether. Harris also assisted on kickoff returns last season.

Also released on Saturday were wide receiver Chad Hall, tight end Cornelius Ingram, guard Max Jean-Gilles, defensive end Eric Moncur, wide receiver Jordan Norwood, defensive tackle Jeff Owens, guard Dallas Reynolds, center A.Q. Shipley, guard Fenuki Tupou and wide receiver Kelley Washington.

Jean-Gilles, who was released in order for the team to reduce its roster to 53 players before it was able to complete a trade involving guard Stacy Andrews, is expected to be re-signed to the team on Sunday.

The team was also involved in three trades on Saturday. The Eagles sent an undisclosed draft choice to Baltimore in exchange for outside linebacker Antwan Barnes, dealt Andrews to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2011 pick, and sent linebacker Tracy White to the New England Patriots for a 2012 selection.

On Friday, the Birds obtained guard Reggie Wells in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals.

Dropped on Friday were running back J.J. Arrington, wide receiver Dobson Collins, defensive end Pannel Egboh, tight end Nate Lawrie, running back Martell Mallett, tackle Jeraill McCuller, cornerback David Pender, cornerback Geoff Pope, defensive tackle Boo Robinson, and safety Anthony Scirrotto.

Defensive end Victor Abiamiri (knee) was placed on the Physically-Unable-to- Perform (PUP) list on Saturday and will not be eligible to play in the team's first six games.

Philadelphia will open its 2010 season next Sunday, when it plays host to the Green Bay Packers.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
