Westbrook fires agent Fletcher Smith

[Seabiscuit36]

farg versatile
hes a top 10 ten nfl player period
and the most important player to his team in the league
by a lot


now that mcnabb is a shell of his former self...look at the eagles offense without westbrook...its frighteningly bad

I thought he was in the top 5 as far as his current contract goes?

The Eagles should rip up his current deal, give him a new deal that pays him $40 million over 4 years with a club option for a 5th. Give him $25 million guaranteed and call it a day. This way he's 33 when his deal expires and everyone's happy.

Booker = Ryan Moats as far as negotiating goes.

WESTBROOK GOES FRENCH

Eagles running back Brian Westbrook, who recently fired agent Fletcher Smith, has hired a new agent.

The new agent is Todd France.

France's goal will be to help Westbrook get a new contract with the Eagles. France won't get paid a dime until the new deal is done.

Smith represents Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, and Smith presumably had been trying to get Westbrook's contract renegotiated.

Westbrook has hinted at a training-camp holdout, but it is regarded as unlikely that he'd stay away.

Ha.  Same guy that was briefly a kicker for the team?

I've been thinking it over and I think I'm going to hire Roger Ruzek to be my agent.  Tony Franklin kept coming to meetings unprepared.

[QB Eagles]

Bigtime NFL agent Todd France is not the same as kicker Todd France. I'm assuming that Westbrook hired the same France who engineered Ronnie Brown's rookie holdout.

Michael Westbrook hired that kicker to be his agent?

That's a pretty neat name for two guys involved in pro football to have.  Neat-O even.

France wasn't all that bad when he was here. Good to see he landed on his...feet.

Michael Westbrook hired that kicker to be his agent?

WESTBROOK WANTS $10 MILLION PER YEAR
Posted by Mike Florio on July 22, 2008, 10:45 p.m. EDT

Question. Which NFL team has a 29-year-old running back who thinks he's worth $10 million per year? (Sorry. Watching The Office reruns tonight.)

Answer. The Eagles.

Per a league source, Brian Westbrook is looking for a new deal that pays him $30 million over the first three years.

We're told that Westbrook picked his new agent, Todd France, based on the fact that France was the only one who would guarantee that he could get Westbrook a certain level of compensation.

Per a league source, multiple other agents withdrew from the running once it became clear that Westbrook was treating the process like a hand of high-stakes Texas Hold 'Em.

It's unknown whether France committed to getting $30 million over three. All we know is that France's bid was the highest.

Pay the man

I'm sorry, that's too much dough for even Westbrook.  He's almost 30 for Christ's sake.  That needs to be his over, and he needs to settle into reality.
