Brian Westbrook Is Not There And Not Expected To Show UP!!

[Don Ho]

GET PALMEIRO!

[Dillen]

Corey Simon didn't show up either, though that's much less of a shock.

And less of it doesnt matter much.

Well, if you were Westbrook you'd already have a load of cash from the 3-year contract and the RFA tender. More money that the average American for sure. So I wouldn't feel sorry for you either. Just like with TO, you sign it, youplay for it.

not that the average american has anything to do with this but ill appease you and play along and say that since hes made 'a load of cash'  the last three years then youd have to say not making any this year wont hurt him, right?...in fact he could hold out for the next two seasons and still have more than the average american

If Westbrook wants a long term deal, he needs to be in camp working for it.

there are people out there...specifically the ones who claim that westbrook is more important to the eagles than TO...that would say he has worked for it the past three years...i dont think he has anything to prove in camp


He will not get nothing by holding out

actually he reduces the chances he will get hurt and end his career before he gets his deserved big payday...for all we know hes told his agent to continue to work on this long term deal...get it done asap and then ill get on the field but not before...i completely understand that

[MURP]

the mistake westbrook made was signing the tender...why would you do that then hold out

however the hold out is the smartest thing he could do...a guy with a history of serious knee injuries going back to high school should not be playing on a small one year contract

unlike TO i cant hate on him for this holdout

Well if that is your thinking, than you would agree that it would be crazy for the Eagles to give him a long term deal considering his pension for knee injuries.

I wonder if this may make TO change his mind about holding out.

Westbrook & Owens holding out would put 2 of the 3 big guns out of commission; I'm certain this thought is going thru Rosenhaus's head.

'crazy' to give him a long term deal?...no i would not agree with that...however his history of injuries would definitely factor into the amount of that deal...and im sure its a sticking point in the negotiations right now

but just like the eagles have to protect themselves so does westbrook

if he hadnt signed the tender...id be 100% on westys side..signing it and then holding out makes his stance less appealing...tho i still feel where he is coming from

great point

me and my boy were on the phone discussing this exact thing five minutes ago

I bet it is too. And I'll also bet that when they both hold out and we still win 12 games no one every agent in the country will curse those jackoffs b/c holding out will be seen for what it is. A money grab that a good team can work around. Let them both sit out the season. fargem.

The latest from Spadaro regarding Westbrook...

Very much of a surprise... And I wouldn't be surprised if comes back pretty soon, either. 

Make of it what you will...

[MURP]

lol, when will people realize the Eagles are not going to give in.  If they want to pay Westbrook or TO, they will.  If they dont, they wont.   If the players hold out they dont get paid.  If they hold out all year the Eagles STILL retain their rights for next year.  The Eagles hold all the cards.   Reid honestly believes the Eagles can win with the other players he has.

Fine. I'm sick of this nonsense. There's a reason this team keeps winning and competing every year. It's because they follow a personel AND financial game plan that allows them to win and replenish talent every year. It hasn't failed yet and until it does these iceholes can piss and moan and hold out all they want. We're still winning and more and more teams are recognizing the intelligence behind the way they do things. Holdouts accomplish nothing.

[PhillyGirl]

Something tells me the media won't be slamming Westbrook at all
