Predict The Date/Time That Westbrook Receives His Contract Extension.

[Larry]

Our we supposed to be impressed that Davis can score on a bunch of goalline plunges?

i'm just trying to chip away at the blind homerism...i guess it's not working. davis has more touches, 250+ more total yards, and 5 more td's but people here still think westbrook is better.

i'm not going to waste any more of my time on this topic.

if you had this current roster and you had a coach with a philosophy like Andy Reid, who do you take on the open FA market?  Westbrook or Dom Davis?

[hunt]

dom davis.


and damn you for making me reply 1 more time to this thread.

Just look at the Green Bay game, that's what B-West can do that no other running back can do

Terrel Owens clearing out the secondary by drawing double and triple teams didn't help?

[Larry]

As I said, one's a pickup truck the other's a Ferrari.

Westbrook belongs in a class of players like Owens, Moss, & Gates: players that cannot be covered by one person alone....this opens up things for other teammates.  This is the point that many are missing.

Davis is your typical workhorse back.  You shut down his running, he's done.  You shut down Westbrook's running -- as in the superbowl -- he still is a valuable weapon; he was uncoverable in that game.

splitting out Westbrook to a WR position where nobody could cover him, except a cb, is more what i was thinking...

of course TO helps Westbrook, Westbrook helps TO, they both help DMac

Remember that one-handed grab he had? Even the best of WRs would have had difficulty in catching it.

last week i saw dom davis saving a new born that was stuck in the middle of the runway while a 747 was taking off, while westbrook was at home playing "catch the cinder block" with a 1 year old.

oh, and was also biting the heads of of puppies.

Let's make this easier.  You're the GM.  Post the contract you would give Westbrook.

My effort...

Signing Bonus:  $10 million ($5.5 million as a roster bonus, $4.5 million as a signing bonus)
March 2007 Roster Bonus:  $3 million
Salaries:
2005 - minimum (about $650k)
2006 - $1.5 million
2007 - $1 million
2008 - $4.2 million
2009 - $4.75 million

That's 5 years, $25.1 million, with $13 million in bonuses and $16.15 million over the first three years.

[phattymatty]

Lets just cut him and get it over with.

[MadMarchHare]

So that's in essence a three year deal for $16MM.  Because while that looks good on paper, those salaries in 08/09 are clearly not going to be paid.

slow ya roll kid

Wrong.  If Westbrook continues to be productive, those are salaries he'd actually see... especially if the cap expands big-time in 2007 as some are saying it might.  His cap numbers for 08/09 would be $5.1m and $5.65m, respectively.  That's really not that much.  The beauty of this deal is that it evens the cap hit for the team pretty well... but if Westbrook DOES prove to lose effectiveness after 2007, they could save some scratch.

Hell, those salary amounts in 08/09 are so reasonable, I'd think there's a chance Westy could initiate a request for a new deal right about then.  Any higher is stupid for both parties, at this point... because he'd never see them anyway.

[Wingspan]

all of these problems, now and in the future can be fixed if the eagles just cut everyone, have a team of undrafted free agents with 1 year deals.

each season, 53 new players...pretty simple...banner, are you listening?
