Eagles release Simon

[Dillen]

They shoulda waited until after this preseason game, and played him the entire time.

Who's that quote from? And you know what, they weren' screwing with him, but even if they were, good. farg him. Playing football is YOUR JOB. Do your job. Earn your paycheck. Don't sit on your fat ass and do nothing.

Sorry, it was from his agent:

I think it's hilarious that Maurice Clarett is getting more coverage then Simon

[rjs246]

Now that we cleared Simon's salary we can finally afford Clarett.

But if the Eagles knew they were going to take the tag off, they should have done it sooner than this, OK? It makes it look like they waited until the last minute, right before the start of the season, just to screw with him. Maybe they feel like it limits his options. But, hey, he'll be all right."

Oh riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight and Corey was running to sign the contract, jagbag.

Barnes is a douchebag, if Simon would have accepted the deal from the Ravens we'd have an extra 2 and 3. 

[Eaglez]

Good bye Corey!

If Corey thinks he is going to make more than 5 million dollars this year from any other team in the league than he's a friggin' lunatic.

Again, THE BEST offer for him was with Philly. He decided to leave that for a back ended deal that includes money that he will never see.

Hey, at least it will look good in a caption underneath a picture.

Corey really handled himself poorly this offseason. What a shame. I thought he was a classy guy.

[phattymatty]

Now we can use this money to give Perez a big contract.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Team Hollis is very happy with this decision. We are expecting a huge extension with a signing bonus of at least 5 to 6 big mac's!!

Team Patterson says, "5 or 6 Big Macs?  That's what we call an appetizer!  What about the main course?"


Seriously, though... I'm glad the Eagles did this, and I'm surprised they didn't earlier.

[WEST is GOD]

I guess the next step is to see who is out there available in a couple days.

[PhillyGirl]

Wow, this is great. I can't wait to see this guy flounder around trying to find the money he wanted.

This is going to be Trotter part deux.

Hugh and Trotter have got to be scratching their heads. Dude was going to make 5 mil this year and had a big fat offer on the table. Dumb mother farger, and his agent's a dumbass too.

No one is going to spend that much money on him now.

[BigEd76]

We get $5.1m in cap space from this move.  In other words, we've double our cap space.

Chances are someone is getting an extension real soon.

Probably Westbrook and M.Lewis...

[SD_Eagle5]

No one is going to spend that much money on him now.

Excuse me

Excuse me 

Man, that would be something to see. Trotter will laugh his ass off all the way to the Super Bowl.

[General_Failure]

They could barely afford to sign their rookies, if they work out a deal with Simon I'll be shocked.
