More Whining from Westbrook

[Drunkmasterflex]

he absolutely will not be disappointed by the market....players like burgess and lamont jordan caked off hard last year...

on an open market westbrook will blow up like the world trade...like he knew he could...same number same hood...its all good....

The common denominator there is they were both paid by the Raiders.

Just like Alexander and James blew up, huh? They got paid huge in FA-HUGE!

And as I thought I clearly stated, he'll be less happy and used less efficiently anywhere else.
This offense is perfect for him, and no one else really uses it the same way

did you ever think that maybe westbrook wants his 75 catches AND 20-25 carries a game...something he will never get here...

so while its en vogue for front office supporters to bring this up all the time its not necessarily true...i understand its a way of making you feel better about his resigning...omg how could he leave andys offense...and it also will be the rallying cry when he leaves...overrated!...hell stink in another offense!...who does he think he is leaving here!!

Probably not...

true...hes goin from ashy to classy

they werent in an open market

im saying if the eagles choose not to franchise him or tag him then let him go as they often do

simon who isnt half the free agent westbrook is got paid..and got paid at a time when no one had money...trust me if westbrook is in an open market he will garner top dollar

[MURP]

and what exactly do you consider "top dollar"

[ice grillin you]

and what exactly do you consider "top dollar"


substantially more than the eagles are offering...and thats really all that matters

[SunMo]

all i hear from anyone who's anyone is that it will get done. 

so, i have taken the approach that won't worry about it until the start of training camp next year, and #36 is being worn by someone not named Westbrook, I will take time at that juncture to be pissed off.

come on, give me a number of what his total contract will be worth.

I already tried that one with this Westbrook contract situation.  No one but me posted anything.

Just proves people love to bitch, moan, and criticize, without having any knowledge base for it whatsoever.

McAllister money.

To those who think Westbrook would only fit and excel in this offense, forget it.  Many teams would go after him just for the fact that he creates so many matchup problems.  That is the essence of the NFL today--find a player who creates mismatches and build your offense around it. 

Westbrook is the closest thing to a modern-day Lenny Moore, which I believe in today's pass-happy NFL, is more important than having a Jim Brown.

i have to agree with IGY here, if westbrook hits an open market, someone will pay him a ton. national media is starting to make the marshall faulk comparisons (heard it pre game on sunday somewhere). eagles top dollar may or may not be some other teams top dollar.

[MURP]

Madden made Walter Payton comparisons a couple years ago. The rest are behind the times.

[Wingspan]

only the few that can actually understand what madden actually says

[jeffreyjpa]

The NFL trade deadline is 10/18/05 this year according to NFL.com, and I seem to remember the trade deadline and the deadline to extend contracts and count money against the current-year cap as being around the same date...but, I haven't been able to find anything to confirm this on the interwebs yet.

[WEST is GOD]

I don't agree with Mark Eckel on basically anything, but one thing I do agree with him on is this team has to bend at least once. I'm getting tired of them "winning" every single time. Can't they just give in once? Man this organization pisses me off. Get the guy signed. Give him what he wants. Westbrook is worth whatever he wants. If the issue is the Eagles don't want to pay a RB that kinda money then they are just stupid. I'm tired of hearing that it will get done from the likes of Spadaro. I want it done NOW.
