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

[hunt]

deuce has averaged 1733 total yards per season as a starter....westbitch has averaged 1230.
i'm okay with blaming the aint's........but mcallister should be paid more.

come on mhunt.  i was on a roll... and i'm still trying to wake up.  don't piss in my Cheerios

Don't worry...he'd rather bark at it.

you're the one talking about jessica alba's arse.       

[PhillyGirl]

lol, however I was talking about you.

[T_Section224]

wait, are we arguing that deuce shouldn't be paid more then westy?  that's crazy talk.  by the way, that ass is mesmerizing.

[ice grillin you]

Smith wasn't uncomfortable enough in the negotiations to recommend that Westbrook hold out.

thats if you believe he didnt know he wasnt going to show

he also may have reccommended to westbrook to not show...and westbrook told him no i dont want to do that...but then had a last minute change of heart

[Tomahawk]

Even I would rather look at Alba's ass over that trade scenario.

Ha - you're half-gay.

[PhillyGirl]

ha - you missed the point.

I read this entire thread.  Glad to see everybody bashing Westbrook like they did to TO.[sarcasm]  And it is ridiculous to drag TOs name into this.  He shows up for camp and is still the bad guy.  WTF?

Westbrook has a legitimate beef. He is still playing on a rookie contract that he has clearly out-performed. This holdout stems from the Eagles' failure to recognize his value to the team. He should have be re-signed prior (I hate Mark Prior) to last season.

Then he should never have signed the tender and said he would report.

no, he isnt.  He is playing under a RFA 1 year tender.

His rookie contract ran out last year...

He signed a 1-year $1.43M RFA tender.

Westbrook hasn't yet said that he wasn't the one tired in the SB, or called Donovan the thinly veiled "company man" insult. We're waiting for him to do that before we put the incineration crew on his tail.   

He also didn't just get a huge signing bonus last season after signing a seven year deal, nor is he scheduled to make $3.5 mil this year.

I can understand Westbrook not wanting to come to camp on a one-year deal without a signing bonus, and risking injury. But, I think he has to be a bit more realistic as to his value in the NFL. In his situation after signing the tender, this hold-out cannot possibly help his bargaining position.

Point is, TO IS THERE, WESTBROOK IS NOT. Nevermind the backstories, none of that matters. Both are under contract, only one showed.

Irregardless, he's worth more than that to any team, especially the Eagles. If they would handle business in a manner recognizing this fact, Westbrook would already have a deal.
