Eagles release Simon

[WEST is GOD]

I think Akers will get an extension soon too. We were trying to extend Westbrook anyway with the money we already had. If any of this 5 million goes to extensions then it is Akers and Lewis.

Right, they had that Simon money earmarked just for Akers.

By the way, Monster? The fact that you had to point out that you made the post first?? Could you attempt to be a little less juvenile? Thanks. Good night now.

Akers and Lewis I said. Not just Akers, and they don't have to spend every dime of that money on extensions to begin with.

Yeah, like you never remind people when they post something that you already covered.

I like the statement that was made, but man, we should have been able to get some return on the investment on Simon. Despite his pigheadedness, he was worth something for our trouble. That is not an easy position to fill at this level of play.

Simon's not going anywhere with his current asking price.  Once he realizes that now that he's on the open market he very well may decide to lower his demands and actually resign with the Eagles.  It's a longshot but I think it is a possibility.  He saw what happened to Hugh and Trotter when they left in favor of big paydays so maybe he learned by watching their mistakes. 

Who the heck am I kidding?  A lot of athletes don't even learn from their own mistakes let alone anyone elses.  See ya Corey.

His alleged level of play.

Find me a post where I make it a point to say, "I POSTED THIS FIRST!"

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

[PhillyGirl]

LOL, just making a point.

It's a damn shame the Eagles couldnt get something for Simon.   Yeah, obviously the cap savings are a great thing so they can extend other players.  That doesnt make it any less crappy to lose your "franchise player" and get nothing in return.
