Eagles release Simon

[Beermonkey]

Banner's delivery is much better, though.

As Banner's spokesman, I feel he's already being too defensive only 30 seconds into the interview. I hope Joe composes himself.

I hope Joe tells eskin to go farg himself.

He's talking too much about being proud of the cap space & how they've manipulated it. I fear much negative lashback for my assigned Eagle.

[PhillyGirl]

farg the negative lashback. If the asshats who don't like what Banner and Company have done with this team, tell them to go cheer for the farging Skins.

[ice grillin you]

leave the skins alone...they are gonna win me ten bucks on this board

[Beermonkey]

Banner denies they worked out a secret deal to let TO go next year.

[ice grillin you]

maybe its me but he doesnt sound to confident about getting westbrook done

[PhillyGirl]

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I've never heard Banner on an interview sounding confident about something that's yet to occur.  He just likes to talk about what's done and how super a decision he felt it was for the Eagles.

[ice grillin you]

yeah theyll probably sign him tonight

[hunt]

Cap Space is my favorite player.

[Sgt PSN]

Cap Space is my favorite player.

The Eagles have $15 mil to spare now.  You're all a bunch of lurie lappers. 

[ice grillin you]

The Eagles have $15 mil to spare now

Simon might sign with the Girls 

Simon Wants To Join Cowboys?
Could the Eagles decision to cut holdout defensive tackle Corey Simon come back to haunt them?

Simon told reporters after his sudden release by the Eagles on Sunday that he was considering the Dallas Cowboys or the New York Giants as his next employers.

There was no word from either team if they were interested in the former All-Pro lineman, who reportedly wants at least $5 million a year and a signing bonus of at least $10 million.

With less than two weeks left before the start of the season, it's a short list of teams that can afford Simon's demands, since most teams have spent the money allocated to their budget, or salary cap.

The Cowboys are an unlikely destination, since Bill Parcells invested heavily in former Jets tackle Jason Ferguson in the offseason.

Baltimore, Cincinnati and San Francisco tried to work out deals with Simon in the offseason, while Buffalo, Green Bay and Kansas City are other possible destinations.

As for the Eagles, the team didn't seem fazed by losing Simon, whose production had fallen off during the past two seasons. The progress of rookie Mike Patterson made Simon expendable.

The team's biggest concern is its offensive line, where starting tackle Tre Thomas and guard Shawn Andrews are fighting injuries. The team could be forced to start two rookies, Todd Hennemans and Adrien Clarke, against the Falcons.

Of course, with the $5 million saved by releasing Simon and extra draft picks in upcoming years, the Eagles could afford to bring in a veteran lineman if needed.

The offensive line is one of the few weak spots, on paper, for the deepest Eagles' team in years.

Then...

The Cowboys are an unlikely destination, since Bill Parcells invested heavily in former Jets tackle Jason Ferguson in the offseason.

So, they're saying that it might come back to haunt them if he signs with the Cowboys, yet two sentences later, they say it's unlikely he'll do so.

Inspired prose there.

Who the farg writes this bullshtein?

Hopefully "Tre" will be just fine.



PS: Who is Todd Hennemans?   

[PhillyGirl]

Just an FYI...he said the same thing to my source...who said that he was joking about it...causing a stir.

FWIW.
