NFL Jaguars Interested In Eagles CB Lito Sheppard?

Even though the draft is over, the Jacksonville Jaguars are continuing to try to swing deals that will make their team better in 2008. The next addition could be Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard, who is squarely on the trading block but who was not traded over the weekend. Per the Philadelphia Daily News, the Jags and Eags are discussing a deal that would send a “package” of 2009 draft picks to Philly for Sheppard. Such a move would add firepower to a 2009 draft board that already includes two first-round picks. And it would give the Eagles ammo in the event that they make a run later in the offseason at one of the established veteran receivers they are widely believed to be coveting. For the Jaguars, it would give them another weapon in the ongoing quest to wrest the AFC South title from the Indianapolis Colts, and at the same time establish even more separation from the Titans, whose relative inactivity during the 2008 offseason might plunge them into a battle with the improving Texans for the basement of what might be the best division in the league.
