im so glad you're back, mikey.

[Diomedes]

oh, that's right...now I remember

[hunt]

lj smith wasn't worth 4 bucks, let alone 4 mill for this season.  the usual group of knownothings on here were wrong again.
block. head.

[Feva]

Maybe the most underachieving Eagle ever....

yeah cockface, because we were all so happy with the situation

[ice grillin you]

why is everyone so concerned about other peoples money...at the time lj was the best option at te that was available...the franchising of him was absolutely the right move...its not like when he signed for four mil he was all of a sudden gonna be antonio gates...he is what he is that wasnt gonna change...but even at his worst hes still a better option than brent celek or matt schobel

no

Weren't you the one who was throwing a fit when they didn't franchise Simon because they had the money available and he was the best option at the time?

Sign Westbrook, extend Lewis....if/when those 2 things happen, will that still be nothing?


yes.  those guys are already on the team.

if releasing simon is the ONLY WAY they could possibly afford to extend westbrook & lewis, then i'd have to think about it....but i'm not convinced that's the case.

i don't think anyone here is advocating giving simon what he's asking for long-term...all i'm saying is why not keep the guy for this year if you're really trying to win the super bowl.  simon doesn't suck...he's been a starter on this team his entire career.  unless they spend that $5 mill to improve the team, they just gave away a starter for nothing & made the team worse...in a year where they're trying to take that next step & win the super bowl.

We didn't have Simon. 


it was widely known that simon was going to report before the 1st regular season game...they did have him.

he said he was coming back after the last preseason game.


Since when do the players get to make the rules? Can you tell your that you want so much money and you won't show up until such and such a date? You'd get your ass fired for being stupid while they higher someone else to do your job. Hmm... sounds familiar.


yeah, because the nfl works the same way as a "regular" job does.

Cap Space is my favorite player.

having cap room is off da chain.

[reese125]

Im still not convinced

[hunt]

wow...i was right about that one too.

eagles went 6-10 & had the 23rd ranked defense that season.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Didn't Simon have to have his foot amputated or something?

[General_Failure]

Damn that diabeetus.
