Rumor from CSN:  the Eagles' offer was 5 years, $20M-$25M, $8M-$10M SB

[Father Demon]

If I were Smith/Westbrook, I would sign a 4 to 5 year deal worth roughly $5M per year (as reported in numerous posts).  I think that is a great oofer by the Eagles, and Westbrrok can't expect anything more.

Say what you want, Westbrook is a key part in our offense, and should be paid as such.  But I still disagree with the camp no-show.

In my humble opinion if Westy doesn't take the Eagles up on a 9-10 million dollar signing bonus, assuming all the contract rumors are correct and are within the correct ballpark, after a productive year knowing that he has a history of injury problems then he's a flippin' turd burglar. Whoever would turn down that much money up front especially early on in his career is beyond me.

This is an extremely weird holdout. I don't think anyone truly understands it except for B-West. It will be interesting hearing him trying to explain his actions.

If he turned that deal down, he's a farging idiot.

Just sayin'...

According to this, the Texans are about to extend Dominick Davis.  If this thing with Westbrook isn't resolved before that, it should be soon after.  That should easily set the market and framework, since they're very similar backs who have had success over the last two years....

why would the eagle pay him anything close to that when andy can just have moats stare into his swirly lollipop and poof! he will be better than westy

Bob Brookover, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook was fined $6,000 by the team for the second straight day Tuesday, August 2. His absence clearly drew the ire of Eagles head coach Andy Reid. "I expect him to be here and I think it's a player's loss if he's not here," Reid said sternly after the Eagles' one-hour practice Tuesday, August 2. "It did surprise me, yeah. Was it the most surprising? I'm not going to answer that, but I was surprised that he wasn't here." Reid said he did not understand Westbrook's position at all and he was in no hurry to have a conversation with his top running back, who is protesting his contract situation with the Eagles. Westbrook was dissatisfied with the offer the team had on the table from Sunday, July 31. According to one league source, the Eagles' offer included guaranteed money between $8 million and $10 million. The Eagles want Westbrook back in camp as soon as possible.

Can't watch video. Somebody must provide a synopsis, stat.

Ritchie, when asked about Westy's absence said, "I Miss Brian. He's one of my roommates. And um, I look at that empty room...and it just hurts me....deeply"

No mullet, either...

Dominick Davis was signed to an extension.  I think this should set the framework for Westbrook's deal, since they're very similar backs.
