Shawn Andrews chemical imbalance thread

i think other teams haven't signed him for the same reason the eagles haven't...they're waiting until next week so they don't have to guarantee his salary.

and i don't know if he can play or not. but with the state that the oline is in right now, the eagles aren't really in position to start getting picky. he knows the scheme, the audibles, the snap count and mcnabb's cadence. i really don't see how signing him would be a bad thing......even if it turns out that he can't play.

Isn't that enough? You're the look test guy.

lol

the eagles are 9 million under the cap but arent signing a starting right tackle because of money

Sgt PSN · September 11, 2009, 11:06:32 PM

would you put it past them?

ice grillin you · September 11, 2009, 11:11:29 PM

normally no...but andy reid would nuzzle runyans brain he loves him so much and they are about to start winston justice vs julius peppers...so in this case i dont think money would be an issue....rather i think runyan is a gimp cripple who will never play again

that wasnt a repost that was like ctrl - alt - del on the whole board

Two reasons I think Runyan hasn't signed:

1. Teams are not willing to sign him until after week 1 so his cash isn't guaranteed

2. He's being picky with who he wants to play for. He's done that before. Hence the rumor of him turning down the Raiders

ice grillin you · September 12, 2009, 12:53:54 AM

yeah because teams are so worried about how much a crippled offensive lineman is going to cost 48 hrs before the season starts

PhillyPhreak54 · September 12, 2009, 12:55:27 AM

Of course they are. Because if he breaks down and can't play and they signed him before week 1 is over, they are on the hook for his whole salary.

ice grillin you · September 12, 2009, 12:57:08 AM

and what does a guy with one knee cost these days?

eagles are 9 million under the cap and they are in the middle of the pack as far as salary cap

PhillyPhreak54 · September 12, 2009, 01:00:19 AM

It doesn't matter if he signs for one mil or ten mil, they are unlikely to be on the hook for the whole amount. If they sign him next Monday and he works out, great. If he doesn't then Joe B has to cut checks for no reason.

ice grillin you · September 12, 2009, 01:09:35 AM

i dont think hes ready to play and thats why hes not signed....you think hes ready to rock and roll but teams are watching their bank accounts over jon friggin runyan

you really think the money matters at this point in the season...how much does banner inc pay you?

PhillyPhreak54 · September 12, 2009, 01:23:48 AM

I don't know if he's ready or not. And I don't think it would matter if he was or not because of the whole veterans getting their deals guaranteed if on the roster once week one kicks off.

They watch their bank accounts over everyone. The Vikings told Bobby Wade to take a pay cut, he did, and then they still cut him. The Jaguars told Reggie Hayward to take a cut from 5M to less than 2M and he did. If he refused he would have been cut.

This isn't towing the line for Banner, this is knowing how teams work situations like these. Another example would be the Titans waiting until after this week's game to get serious about bringing in Matt Jones or Bobby Wade. Why? Because if they signed either one before Thursday and they were on the roster they get caked off all season long.
