Predict The Date/Time That Westbrook Receives His Contract Extension.

[bobbyinlondon]

I read on another board the following two items:

1. Westbrook is on the John Thompson show right now in the DC area giving his side of the contract situation.

2. Eskin said that Westbrook turned down the Eagles' "new, signifcant offer"--apparently, he WANTS MORE THAN LAMONT JORDAN got from the Raiders.

If this is true, it's just like Billy Wagner's negotiations with the Phils--first he wanted 24M, then after the All-Star break it went up to 27M, then at the end of the season, it went up to 30M, and when the Phils apprently were ready to meet his price, he announced he was filing for FA.

I checked with "Mr. NC" for an update and there's not really anything new to report....says Brian has been a pain in the ass to deal with in terms of negotiations.....

Well there's a farging shock.

Fantastic.

Meh.  RBs are dime a dozen.  Farg Westrbook.

[rjs246]

farging Westbrook. He thinks he's playing hardball. Teeball, is more like it. Go cry to someone who gives a shtein. Maybe the Cardinals will give him money in the offseason and he can rot in Arizona in front of all seven of their fans... of course, being overpaid to underproduce in Arizona, surrounded by Arizona women might not be the purgatory I was going for, but you get the point.

theres no shortage of teams out there that would unload massive money at westbrook

the wagner analogy is a good one...the eagles had their chance to sign him and they blew it...of course now westbrook it going to up the ante as he approaches free agency...theres no upside for him to sign at this point in time...expect a franchise tag and all kinds of ugliness come the offseason

[Diomedes]

Franchise tag?  Come on.  He's not that important in anyone's mind.  Except maybe yours?

[BigEd76]

I asked about that.  They're probably going to franchise him...

franchise tag has more to do with protecting yourself than it does with the importance of the player...was corey simon that 'important'

Alrighty then.  Nevermind what I said.

Sure, sure.  But as a player, he's not worth what it would cost to pay him top five money.  You could plug any number of dudes into this system and not use them just as well.

[WEST is GOD]

Brian Westbrook is

You farging kidding me?  $8-$9 million off the cap and no promise of him hanging around?  Ugh.

[ice grillin you]

not really...the franchise tag is one year and the way the eagles hoard money it would be no problem to pay him a top five salary for one season...this is the reason that letting simon go was so ridiculous

[Mad-Lad]

screw westbrook.  the eagles should sign ahman green so when Buckhalter comes back they'll have a killer lineup of 

It's Mahe time!
