PFT is reporting that Lito hired Rosenhaus

LITO LANDS WITH ROSENHAUS
Posted by Mike Florio on July 16, 2008, 3:59 p.m.

It's a move that likely will provoke bad memories in Philadelphia.

Per a league source, Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard has hired agent Drew Rosenhaus.

We're told that the team and Rosenhaus held an initial meeting on Wednesday, and that both sides hope to avoid a repeat of the ugliness that unfolded in 2005 between the team and another Rosenhaus client, receiver Terrell Owens.

Sheppard has been available via trade ever since the team signed cornerback Asante Samuel, formerly of the Patriots.  But no deal has been even close, and there has been no serious talk regarding a new contract for Sheppard in Philly.

Sheppard is due to earn a base salary of $2 million in 2008, which is less than 10 percent of the value of Samuel's guaranteed money in his Eagles contract, which runs through 2011.

As predictable as a sunrise.

From a Philly.com Brookover/Fox article

"We have signed Lito as a new client," Rosenhaus said after a meeting with the Eagles at the NovaCare Complex. "I'm trying to keep somewhat of a low profile. We're going to keep everything real positive. I've had a lot of positive dealings with the team recently. I'm confident that we're going to find a mutually beneficial solution to this situation and we expect things to move in a positive direction."

Sheppard did not return a phone call.

Multiple sources confirmed that Rosenhaus was in Philadelphia today and he met with vice president of player personnel Howie Roseman. Team president Joe Banner, who is on vacation, took part in the meeting via conference call.

"It was a relatively positive conversation and the Eagles expect him to be at camp when the vets report next Thursday," a team source said.

A source close to Sheppard also said the cornerback would report to training camp...

Well, it seems like everybody is happy and really likes eachother again.

Several players are saying Lito is at camp and has been there for a couple hours. I'm watching DNL and they sent text messages to Gunner telling him Lito is there.

As of right now Westbrook is NOT there yet.
