LJ Smith quote on negotiating with Eagles

[MURP]

"It's obvious where if they (the Eagles) feel like you disrespect them, they're going to disrespect you," Smith said. "It's kind of obvious."

and there you have it.

Good, I hope he doesn't re-sign. I'm so tired of his bad hands and inconsistency. Maybe we can get a real TE in here. Isn't Eric Johnson a free agent after this season?

[Quasimoto]

He definitely won't be resigning now.  He's done as an Eagle after that quote.  Will Andy move Schoebel above him on the depth chart?

This whole situation reminds me of my last year in the Navy. My Chief at the time was a real fake, if you were aboard with him as a 'lifer' than you were his boy, but once I made my intentions known of getting out I went into his doghouse. He tried like hell to convince me to stay, but I stood my ground. My final months he was a total icehole and went out of his way to make life hard on me, as if I didn't have enough shtein to worry about.

Well, obviously. The team's FA practices are bush league.

Ha! THis team will never sign a TE who can catch AND block. Never.

I hate agreeing with numbnuts Bunkley, but I also don't want LJ resigned. He's mediocre at the best of times.

How have they disrespected LJ?  Schobel isn't playing more...

I'm assuming the contract extension proposals he's gotten.

[Cerevant]

It would be nice if smith resigned, but as long as the Eagles don't re-sign him, I'll be happy.

How have they disrespected LJ?

they havent....did anyone actually read the article?....or just the thread title...in the article lj is speaking upon the hood incident not referring to himself...

there isnt a player on this team or a person in the know that cant see how hood got broomsticked in the anal tract

the front office of this team is pathetic

[General_Failure]

So, they're not trying to resign him? Whew!

Hood can go now. This team needs a new starting CB, so either Tito or Sheldon needs to take a step down.

[Eaglez]

Yeah, I don't think I'll shed a tear if LJ leaves. He has been completely underwhelming and as a whole I think his attitude sucks a good deal of the time.

Another CB would be nice, someone needs to wake up Tito and Sheldon. However, I can't imagine the Eagles shelling out money to anyone in this market -- maybe Samuel but that would even be a stretch.

I was responding to the first responses of this thread.  I don't think they've approached LJ about an extension yet...

[ice grillin you]

i know easy...i wasnt referring to you specifically....but to the people who are talking about lj and his contract situation when the article (and his quote) had nothing to do with him whatsoever

everytime a player speaks his mind theres a rush of people coming out of the woodwork to bash him both persoanlly and on the field

lj is a damn good te and perfect for this offense as long as they continue to be pass dominant...but he says one thing and all of a sudden he sucks and good riddance
