Sheldon Brown wants to be traded

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He's a soldier.

banner literally would not meet with one of the longest tenured birds to even minimally discuss a renegotiation...even more amazing is he put his minion on the case who also stood up sheldon..and they wonder why they have so many problems with players...this will never change until lurie balls up and removes banner inc from running the team or straight up sells the team


btw man does romey get it

and sun makes an excellent point...when sheldon brought this up last year the team could have said sure well take a look then after the season ended gave him a modest re-do and moved on...no one would have blinked and they still would have had gobs of money under the cap..problem solved...now they are looking at a cb position that could be in a shambles

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

As long as you agree that Sheldon probably should not have spouted off on ESPN, I think we're all set.

[Tomahawk]

The only reason Sheldon would have had not to spout off is if he wanted to remain an Eagle. Sure maybe he gives up a little extra money he could have made from another team if a trade came about under quieter circumstances, but he also guaranteed the Eagles don't get as much for him either.

I'm glad he did.  If someone as universally respected as Sheldon Brown calls out that four-eyed corksucker in the national media, you know things are (1) nearly broken beyond repair, and (2) coming to a head.

I personally think this situation is much worse than the Ed Wade fiasco because as loathsome as Wade was, he wasn't deliberately evil like Banner.   What's sad and more than a little shocking to me is just how much slack he's getting from rank & file Eagles fans over this.  He basically told one of the greatest players and certainly one of the most beloved figures in the history of the franchise to take a farging hike this offseason, and now this.

Just unreal.

i honestly dont think he gives a shtein...i think hes so upset with banner inc. that the little extra money he could make or what the eagles could get for him is meaningless

They'll turn over the whole roster again before anything changes in the front office.

^^^^
unfortunately true

altho once their security blanket mcnabb is gone and they not only dont have a qb advantage most games but actually put that bum cobb in i see an implosion and maybe that shakes things up...thats a big maybe tho

[General_Failure]

Once McNabb, Westbrook, and Sheldon are gone, Andy will still be coaching with a long-term deal. Banner will still be telling players to go farg themselves. Lurie still won't give a shtein how he or his franchise look to the people who just can't wait to hand him money.

[SD_Eagle5]

So how long until he fires his agent and hires Rosenhaus?

[BigEd76]

Front page of CSN has exclusive DGunn interviews with Sheldon and Banner.  Banner brings up Demarcus Ware making $1M this year and Tom Brady making like 1/2 or 1/3 what Cassel is but they aren't bitching...

[MadMarchHare]

So he says he wants to be middle of the pack in salary.  He's paid 36th highest, and there are 64 starting corners in the NFL.  What's the problem here?

I'd rather see Hanson start than listen to this douche anymore.  Not like it'll make a difference anyway.  Until fat-ass leaves, the Birds ain't winning shtein.

they should have never acquired peters (who did the same thing sheldon is doing now damn uppity players) or andrews then....thats a lot of money to guys who arent going to help them win shtein anyway

[MadMarchHare]

Whatever.  If Brown wanted that huge payday, he shouldn't have signed a long-term contract.  He sure wasn't bitching when they handed him $8MM 5 years ago.  He could've let his rookie contract go the distance and tested free agency, like Nate Clements did, then he could have his $90MM contract too.  But he didn't, he settled for a little less money so that if he broke his neck he'd be set anyway.  Now he wants it both ways.  farg him.  I'm sure all the people that got laid off in the last year from jobs making 1/100 or less of his salary are highly sympathetic.

And of course Reid thinks he can win it all with Andrews and Peters.  He's too stupid to recognize his own incompetence.

[ice grillin you]

right im saying you should be against the acquisitions of andrews and especially peters...why pay out that much money (waaaaay more than sheldon wants) for guys who arent going to win anything for you?

i mean are you against peters getting all that money as much as youre sheldon asking for a little bit more?
