The Philadelphia Eagles trade Lito Sheppard to the Jets
The Eagles have traded 27-year old cornerback Lito Sheppard to the Jets for a 5th round pick in 2009 and a conditional 2010 draft pick (2nd, 3rd or 4th rounder depending on Sheppard’s play in 2009). Sheppard played in all 16 games for the Eagles last season and he made 21 tackles, defensed 4 passes, forced 1 fumble and he intercepted 1 pass. He finished his 7-year career with the Eagles having played in 93 games in which he made 253 tackles, defensed 69 passes, had 2 sacks, forced 3 fumbles and he intercepted 18 passes (3 he returned for TDs). The Eagles got good value for Sheppard as he was likely going to be the nickel back again in 2009 if he stayed in Philly.
