Westy overpaid.. ouch

[Sgt PSN]

Reno Mahe and CBuck returning kicks. These clowns can't even accidentally find a returner.

Didn't you see Reno's 30+ yard punt return against the Jets?  He's awesome!

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ha...this team has been angering me a lot lately.

Specifically the return game. And even moreso when I read the DN article yesterday about Dr Andrews. We all knew how they humpty dumptied Buck's knees back together again, but it made me think about how they've got this guy, with farging space shuttle wire or some shtein holding his knee together, back there returning kicks. He's got zero shot of taking one all the way. I'm shocked when he gets it past the 20 to be honest. When is the last time they started past the 40 on a KOR? 2004?

The STs have been a disaster for a few years now, specifically the blocking. But instead of getting a good coach in here when Harbaugh moves up, they bring in some fargbag named Rory.

[ice grillin you]

if the Eagles could hire competent people, this wouldn't be a problem...

this, the early cut list fiasco, the parking lot situation...

GOLD STANDARD

and they arent trying to scare mcnabb...he makes 9.6 mil next year and i dont believe they have any intention of paying it....cobb era begins in 08

[PhillyPhreak54]

They had intentions of paying him....they were talking extension prior to his knee going kaput last year.

But then again, we know how it goes with this FO; rebuff their contracts, see ya later.

[ice grillin you]

they might re do his deal at their number which wont be 30 mil over the next three thats for sure...all im saying is cobb is their heir apparent at qb whether it be next year or in two....vs picking moats which was strictly a shot over westbrooks bow and nothing more

[Sgt PSN]

I'm pretty sure that extention would have involved some serious salary restructuring though.  I think they planned on taking a big hit next year, yes...in the form of a bonus.  But the years after 08 would have probably had a minimal cap hit.

lol when reno had that return this past week...it was the eagles version of hester returning one.

seriously all i care about on returns is that they do not turn it over. ive come to accept the fact that once reed got hurt and he wouldnt be our returner anymore and we insisted on keeping reno and not even trying to get a competent returner that all i needed to worry about was reno just catching the ball. thats where we are at...any gains he has is just the icing.

[Diomedes]

that this occurred is embarrassing enough.  that it's still unresolved...well, there's only two words.  gold standard

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Actually, the fact it occurred in the first place is the problem, because it's wildly difficult to undo.

The tax system in this country is the problem.  Unfortunately, the problem is now Westbrook's.  Essentially, the only way to actually resolve the issue is for him to pay back all $3 million and amend his tax returns as such.  He will have to wait a bit to recoup the difference.

IGY's assertion that the Eagles should eat the tax money is absurd, because then essentially, they'll have still overpaid Westbrook by $1.3 million and face the ramifications from the NFL for circumventing the salary cap.  It's a non-starter.

Frankly, the easiest resolution is that Westbrook pays back the $3m NOW, and the Eagles reward him with a new contract that doesn't extend his deal but pays him a bit more for his trouble.  That'll never happen, of course.

[reese125]

Couldnt agree more

Red flags should of popped up like a boner in Hedonism when Westbrooks accountant saw an extra 3 beans...cmon.

The fact that he went out an invested it or whatever he did is only his fault. Pay the shtein back, and stop trying to twist the system. The public loves ya, but not that much Westy.

[Diomedes]

Yeah, that Westbrook is obviously trying to twist the system.  What a sleazy guy.

westbrook pays back what went into his bank account and the govt keeps a free 1.7 mil...its really simple actually...why should westbrook have to go thru the headache of getting the money back from the govt because of the eagles mistake...and if the eagles are that worried about a million or so bucks then they should get their own accountant to file all the paper work on westbrooks behalf....it should not be westbrooks repsonsibility to clean up the eagles messes

[reese125]

it should not be westbrooks repsonsibility to clean up the eagles messes

but is it Westbrooks responsibility or his supporters to note when an extra 3 million flys into his account. Thats pretty simple

It's literally impossible to do that and be in line with tax laws and NFL regulations.

[ice grillin you]

the nfl would do absolutely nothing...all they care about is what went to westbrook and that hes not getting caked off under the table...they dont give two shteins about what goes or comes from the govt

tax laws i dont know enough about....but why would the govt care if they made a free 1.7 mil...and if they do or if the eagles want that money which they obviously do  then they should act as westbrooks accountant and file the paperwork to get the money back
