Any bets?
When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or it'll turn into a fossil.

Then I saw you doing sit-ups in front of a mall.  My dad told me that it was your house.

I predict that he will not outperform his next contract and will not go to the team offering to take a pay cut when that happens.

I would like to point out that I am still in the running to be right on this...
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

How about never?

He just gave an impromptu PC saying that he and Fletcher shut down negotiations because the money isn't close....  :o

Raise your hand if you're shocked.

He wants to get paid like a pro-bowler and I for one don't think that he should and it sounds like the front office doesn't think he needs that kind of loot either.

I love Westbrook and the things he can do, but he's a gadget. He doesn't run well between the tackles or pick up tough yards when we need them. He hasn't shown the ability to tote the rock 25 times a game, and even if he can do that, AR doesn't want him to, so why pay him like a back who will be shouldering a 25+ carry a game load. Whatever. I hope they sign him to an extension, but he doesn't need to be paid like an elite back.

Shocked that he didn't come to his senses after his agent told the public that it was a fair deal.

WTF is he thinking? He's not going to get paid like Lamont Jordan, who was grossly overpaid by the Raiders. When will players REALIZE this on this team?

well if he knows as long as he goes through this season with similar success, some team out there will pay him what he wants.

maybe he does realize this on this team. i dont think thats an issue. the eagles set a value on a player, and expect a player to always agree? that'll never happen 100% of the time.

and this time, westbrook disagrees.

The problem with that thinking is that next year you have Shaun Alexander and Edgerrin James who are going to be FAs just to name a couple. If any team thought Westbrook was worth the kind of money he was asking for, they would have signed him as an RFA and given the draft pick to the Eagles. I mean, look how long it took Chicago to sign Benson. Besides, the Eagles could franchise him next year if they so wish. I just hope he doesn't suffer the same fate as Damon Moore.
