Akers Could Be Getting A Contract Extension Soon

two people who will never agree talking around in circles on an internet message board never win

Near as I can tell, you're the only one buying into your version of reality.

This is definitely the exact same thing.

youre getting way to geeky about this...players dont go on internet message boards and discuss who is making what...what year of their contract they are in ...whos in the top 6 of their position...joe banner is god...andy please have my baby blah blah blah...WE do that

all they will see is the kicker getting done while the stud WR RB and DT dont

ill say it again and this will be the last thing i say...DONT do akers...hes a kicker making over a million a year with two years left on his contract...thanks but no thanks..we will check back with you in 07 dave

The fact we're even discussing this on a message board makes us both kind of "geeky".

I don't think the players need MB's to understand that these are 2 dissimilar situations for 2 very valuable players. They'll get Westbrook done & they players know that Simon is not part of the long term plan with the team.

I think you're overestimating the impact of the Akers deal.

personally, i don't think negotiations need to be exclusive to one player.  who's to say that Banner isn't talking to Westbrook's people and Akers' people during this same time period.

According to Westbrook, they ARE working on it (he talked about it during the game on Saturday night)

Extend Lewis- PG

A-Phreakin-men That should sum up the entire post.

Nope, I didn't miss it...but you said that then went on to compare it anyway

in no way did i ever financially compare the two

as for the other part...how do you think it wil look in the lockeroom if they redo a kicker with two years left on his deal but cant do the same for the best WR in the league...arguably the teams most important player...and a very good defensive tackle...

now im not blaming the FO for all of those players not getting done...just pointing out how signing akers may not go over to well...

Let's compare apples to oranges for a minute

Akers = great consistent player who accounts for alot of points in every game, is a team guy and has not caused a media circus

TO = great, selfish WR who has intentionally created a major distraction because he is unhappy with the 6 years remaining of a 7 year deal HE HIMSELF signed.

I think this sends a VERY LOUD message to TO.  Perhaps, if he would have just played and worked hard and said and done the right thing, HE TOO could be on the receiving end of a new deal.

Fargin' morons thinking 1.5 mil is going to keep the Eagles from signing Westbrook and then comparing it to TO's situation. You guys get smarter every day.
