Dawk is going to be on CSN at 6:30 w/ DGunn

You people take the player personnel shtein too personally.  Sure, you want them to spend $9 million just to placate a fan base that sells out no matter how hard they're screwed on tickets or anything else.  It makes sense that we all would want that.  But, to expect it?

I mean, if you were all talking about how great he would be on the field this year and how much the Eagles would miss his skills, it would be different.  Instead, you're talking about broken promises and hurt feelings.  Come on.

I just realized that everyone, but two players are gone on the CF banner.

Yes, Reggie Brown is gone even though he isn't truly gone yet.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
Just pointing laughing, and living it up while watching the Miami Heat stink it up.

It needs more Brandon Whiting.

The man. The myth. The legend.

I hate the front office of this team. From the top to the bottom.

Thank you for shteinting all over the fans that pay your farging salaries.

the best way you can thank them if by not renewing your season tickets

yes of course someone else will step right in and take yours but like the phillies, the only thing the eagles care about is the bottom line. the phillies happened to win a world series because all the cards fell in the right place. the eagles have been close but their qb has a sandy vadge. if you want change, perhaps even new ownership, dont give them any money and dont watch them on tv. otherwise theyll do things they way theyve been doing them.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Yes, thank you, I know that. We're thinking about not renewing.

This is, the best thing you've ever, written.

I wonder what McNabb makes of all this? Shot across the bow methinks...

Who gives a shtein what Vadgey McWhinersons thinks?

Dawk got emotional and ended the interview after 2 minutes Sal-style.  He said he'd talk to DGunn off the air about what the Eagles really offered and said to him...

This is the part I really want to hear. I read one source that said they offered 2yr/5 million, which is insulting - why bother if that's true, better to just let him go. There's also been conflicting reports though on whether it was a low ball or decent offer.

PoopyfaceMcGee

Ok, so does anyone actually wish he were still on the team because of the way he's able to play at this phase in his career?  Are we going to keep talking about "respect" and "feelings" and the big meanies in the FO?

Seriously.

Eagaholic

How the FO is perceived by players, especially one who commands the respect that Dawkins does, can affect their ability to recruit FA's and the morale of the team. IMO this can also affect team chemistry and motivation.

I'm not saying they didn't find a way to somehow end it with Dawk as positively as possible because we don't know yet. But I'm going to guess not.
