Way to go for that worm, fishy.

Length and dollars?

ESPN.com's John Clayton reported Westbrook's revised contract will pay him at least $21 million over the next three years, according to a source.

THAT'S ONLY $2m more than Luis Castillo got over two years!

Eagles president Joe Banner refused to comment on the $13 million in guaranteed money over the first three years of the deal. He did say the contract is the most complex he has ever seen.

"It's a complicated deal," Banner said. "There is extension years, potential voided years and escalators. Everything I've ever seen in a contract is in this deal.

"We're talking about a Hall of Fame-caliber player. This is a premier guy, a leader, a player. He just wants to win so badly, and that is what drove him."

The contract is 52-pages long....

westbrook spent most of the 1st quarter of last night's game back in the locker room reading over his new contract.

that's dandy!

I hope they sit him for the rest of the preseason games, absolutely zero reason to play him. From what I saw up at Lehigh he's already in midseason form.

[hunt]

yep...no reason he should take one snap in the preseason.  just found it funny that he was in the back checking on his cake.
shows you how meaningless preseason games are.

I thought it was semi funny when Herremans and Jackson (I think) rubbed grass on his uniform, that is, until the announcers went on and on about it showing the relationship between the RB and his O-line.

Philadelphia Eagles' Running Back Brian Westbrook

Joins 950 ESPN



Philadelphia, PA (August 26, 2008): 950 ESPN announces Philadelphia Eagles Running Back Brian Westbrook will host the Brian Westbrook Show from The Stone Grille every Monday night during the NFL season. 



The 2-time Pro Bowler will host a one hour show in front of a live audience each week of the NFL season.  This is a chance for Eagles fans to hear the game stories right from the Bird's starting Running Back.  The show will take place every Monday night (starting on September 8th) from 7 to 8 p.m. at The Stone Grille located on Blackwood-Clementon Road in Clementon , NJ . 



A dynamic player in both the run and pass game, Westbrook has led the Eagles in rushing and receiving in each of the past three seasons, and ranks second in the NFL with 6,768 total yards from scrimmage since becoming a full-time starter in 2004. 



"I am unbelievably excited to have one of the most prolific NFL players as a host on our station," said 950 ESPN Program Director Matt Nahigian.  "Brian has absolutely proven himself to be one of the best running backs in the league as well as a leader on and off the field for the Eagles.  950 ESPN will be the only station to hear Brian throughout the week."
