Sheldon Brown wants to be traded

Eagaholic · April 20, 2009, 04:30:13 PM

I think Troy Vincent is available

his efficiency for his position is very good and hes a very nice tackler when he uses his arms...but he lacks the hands and jump on the ball alot of the other solid CB's have. I mean, hes also given up alot of big plays--especially to the taller receiver over the years

I like the tandem of Samuels and Brown, but I wouldnt be depressed if he rolled in a trade. I think he can be replaced with someone else and still be a very productive secondary

I would like them to give him some more money. I like his style of play. But, he's not irreplaceable, so whatever.

"I"?...that's pretty much like saying, "We".

Everyone, start throwing bricks at Freddie.

Actually the quote is fine. It wouldn't be if he said "I would like us to give him some more money".

But the brick throwing sounds fun--where do I sign up?

He should be given a new deal.

But whats up with these iceholes always crying about their contracts? Its a guarantee that a veteran player or players will bitch about their deal after new deals are signed by FAs for the current market value.

Bowen was trying to incite some shtein about Andrews not being happy (Shawn) about his deal now that his brother and Peters got paid.

No quotes, buth good ol' Lester just opining that Andrews probably isn't happy when they look at paychecks.

The problem for the Eagles is that the market rate for a starting CB has gone way up.

That is a problem they helped create. We already know they aren't going to pay him what he's worth, and we can be reasonably sure that they're going to pick a corner in the first three rounds. I think Hank Baskett is on the radar for a new deal though, so that'll probably make Sheldon happy again.

Official statement from the Eagles:

Quote"It's very unfortunate and counterproductive that Sheldon has chosen to go public with his feelings about his situation. After thorough evaluation by himself and discussions with his family and agents, he chose to accept an extension of his rookie contract early that provided his family financial security for the rest of his life. It removed any concerns about health or performance that all other players in his draft class had to worry about. He has three years remaining on that contract and, after taking the signing bonus and his first two years of salary into account, we feel that Sheldon is being paid fairly. Focusing only on a player's salary for a given year is not a valid analysis.

"There have been league MVP's, Super Bowl champion quarterbacks, and perennial Pro Bowlers who have been in a similar situation. All of their teams have required them to wait until their contract expired or there was only one year remaining before any adjustment took place. It is only in the most extraordinary, in fact, less than a handful of circumstances in the last 10 years that any players two new years into a contract with three years left have been adjusted. We don't think this qualifies as an extraordinary circumstance.

"Sheldon's comments under the circumstances actually serve to devalue him in a trade if we were willing to consider it, which we are not."

Good thing they didn't adjust Westbrook's deal in the last 8 months and create animosity....oh wait...

He's grossly underpaid yet they're not willing to budge despite the fact that he's been their most consistent defensive player for the past five seasons.

I hate this corksucking team and the worthless cheap ass douchebags who run it.

Andrews didn't play virtually all season. If Andrews does in fact start to moan about his contract, then only in pro sports can a player be a complete non-factor for a year for their employer and yet still complain about their paycheck.
