Eagles release Simon

[Rome]

of course, the lemmig crew attacks me.  whatever Jeff and Joe tell you guys, you believe, it's unbelievable.

you have a pro-bowl calibur DT for one more year, in a year that is supposed to be a balls-out super bowl run, this is TO's last year, you are putting all your effort into this year.  and you release a starting DT?  yeah, that's a great move.

Why are you acting like a trolling jackass here, Mo?

Take it to the TATE, dude.  This forum is for legitimate Eagles talk, (and Jessica Alba softcore porn) not drivel.

Some people on this board should go into PR or politics - the spin doctoring and use of straw men is out of control. 

First, it's funny that some are so willing to beat up on Simon for trying to negotiate the best deal for himself and protect himself against injury when he didn't have a contract and, but they welcome back TO and Westbrook with open arms  even though they both tried to do the same while already under contract.   Simon certainly didn't embarrass or cause rifts like TO did.

Second, the Eagles did have two options - they could have waited and let him return for the $5.1 million.  In fact Simon and his agent indicated he was planning to sign this coming Friday.  Third, whether or not this the Eagles made the right choice between those options remains to be seen, but stop with the saying how "great" this is.  Losing a 29 year old, productive, former pro-bowl defensive tackle and getting nothing in return is never a good thing.  Maybe it was the best outcome once the situation went this far, but it's far from "great."

You got a link to show that? Or at least something other than your speculation?

Not to mention, did you want to pay 5.1 mil for a guy who would most likely be just as fat and out of shape as he was last year?

So the Eagles should cave in and meet Simon's demands?  That would set a great precedent.   Why bother paying Reid and Banner all that money when Lurie could let the inmates run the asylum for free?

Past history and the fact that I said MOST LIKELY. The other poster said, "IN FACT".

EXACTLY


First, it's funny that some are so willing to beat up on Simon

its sickening actually..."fat piece of shtein" "bad guy" ect...corey has been nothing but class thru this whole thing and his comments yesterday after being released were more of the same...you kool aiders should be ashamed

So the Eagles should cave in and meet Simon's demands?

WTF???  he was going to play for the 5.1 mil...PERIOD...then you could have released him next year...i ask again why release a player who is the best at his position on the entire team two weeks before a superbowl run...this does not help the eagles in anyway

When have Andy/Joe/Jeff ever attempted a 'balls-out super bowl run'? They've always thought long term and this move is no different.

the stupid fake words just make your lame arguemnts more of a joke, just so you know

you must not have watched him last year...cause after he got over his foot injury and into game shape he played at a probowl level for the second half of the season and the playoffs

[phattymatty]

Hang onto it.  Maybe Kearse switches back to his old number.  Then all you gotta do is safety pin some new letters on the back and done!!

Actually thats a great idea.  I'll just throw some duct tape on the back and write Kearse on it.  That's a real Philly jersey.

He had a stretch of good games, yes. But he didn't have a great playoffs...certainly not Probowl level.

And Sun Mo, its called a censor that the board automatically does.
