Brian Dawkins, ex-Eagle

[Diomedes]

btw how is dawk even gonna play in the eagle denver game

He won't; he'll be on the sideline with an injury.

[General_Failure]

Or on the sideline as a backup.

[Sgt PSN]

i hate this thread

[hbionic]

Is it time for mom jokes yet?

[ice grillin you]

He shouldn't have taken the Eagles offer.
The Eagles shouldn't have given him a better offer.

The only entity which enrages me here is the freespending Broncos' FO.  If only they would have stayed the hell out of it, Dawkins would have signed for a more accurate market value in Philly, and you bitches would stop bitches.

farg Denver.

when the salary cap has gone up as much as it has and teams all over the league are 20 30 mil under it and with the threat of no cap in 2010 money is gonna flow (not that dawk even got crazy money)...the eagles just havent adjusted...they are treating the market the same even tho there is a shteinload more available to spend...just as they are treating dawk no different than sean considine....which has been a major problem since day one...the FO is just not in touch with reality and is stubborn as all hell

[Zanshin]

I'd have no problem at all with the Eagles not offering Dawkins more...provided that they were to actually use that free space to improve the team in some way. Haven't seen it.

[ice grillin you]

banner himself said before free agency even started that eagles couldnt spend all their money if they tried

[reese125]

thats pretty interesting considering during free agency when speaking with Eskin they really didnt have as much as people thought

in fact he said they were only playing with about 20 million (if that) as the the remaining cash was going to player roll overs, bonuses and such---he makes me sick

[ice grillin you]

eskin is a liar....they are currently 40 million under the cap

again joe banner himself said they couldnt possibly spend all their money even if they tried...it came out of the mans mouth...at that point i dont even know why they get people like eskin to try and spin it

[reese125]

Eskin wasnt spinning anything...this was from Banners mouth when Eskin was interviewing him 3 weeks ago

thats why I called his comments interesting

[ice grillin you]

you must not listen to eskin...there isnt a show he does where he doesnt spin the salary cap numbers

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I don't understand why simply because they have salary cap room, Dawkins has more value.  Did he turn down a more lucrative offer from Dallas or Washington to play for Denver?  No.  He went for the best money, and he made the right decision.  Why can't it be that both Dawkins and the Eagles made the right decision?  Why villainize the FO for not signing an old player with diminishing value?  It's just arguing for argument's sake and, frankly, ridiculous.

[Vince]

Get over it! He was great when he was here. He is now dead. Move the farg on!

[ice grillin you]

hes not just another old player...his leadership alone is worth keeping him for...or the fact that he should never be seen in another jersey...they also dont have a player that you can definitvely say is better than dawkins this year

there is not one single solitary reason he should be in denver

it still would be retarded to let him go but they might have a leg to stand on if they didnt make him an offer to stay...by making any offer they admitted they wanted him back...so at that point pony up a couple million more bucks and make him an eagle for life...anything less than that exposes banner for what he is petty jealous stubborn cheap ect...ect...ect...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

You are simply finding a reason to be angry about it.  Go buy a Denver jersey, or shut the farg up.
