Sheppard Denies Trade Rumor

Lito Sheppard has denied requesting a trade. In fact, he thought it was a joke.

After a report surfaced that Sheppard is seeking a trade from the Eagles, Comcast SportsNet’s Derrick Gunn called the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback to seek its validity.

“He told me he knew nothing about this,” Gunn said Monday on the 6:30 p.m. SportsNite. “As a matter of fact, he thought I was joking until he realized that I wasn’t.”
