Sheldon Brown wants to be traded

[ice grillin you]

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.

is this accurate...i could have sworn sheldon signed a new deal in the superbowl year...did he really do a renegotiation just two years ago

[PhillyPhreak54]

I thought he did it in 2004 as well, which would have been the classic "lock 'em up early" deal the Eagles do, since he was drafted in 2002.

Either way, I'm sick of this contract drama. I wish I could whine and bitch every time I found out someone in my industry makes more than me.

Sheldon Brown is a solid player, but give me a break.  He isn't even close to one of the top corners in the league, I actually have to agree with the FO in this case.

i hate to say it, but i'm leaning more towards this than being on sheldon's side.  they caked him off early in his career and maybe his annual salary is chump change, i'm curios to see what his average annual earnings are on this contract when you add in signing bonuses, roster bonuses, etc.  i bet it has him being paid top 10 corner money.

hes like the 42nd highest paid corner in the nfl i heard...he makes less than friggin joselio hanson...im not sure what being one of the top corners in the league has to do with anything...if youre grossly underpaid then youre grossly underpaid...but if the eagles dont feel that way then trade his ass and go with joselio hanson and jack iggywanoo as your 2nd and 3rd corners

i too am with the FO on this. bottom line...if youre not a stud dont start demanding shtein with 3 years left.

he can easily be replaced in the eagles eyes...so go ahead and be a fool and pull a Lito special dumbass

hes made a little over 12 mil in the five years of his current deal...antoine winfield made 12 mil in one season...i think even daylon mcutchen got like a 6 mil sb a few years ago didnt he?

ok, so brown's overall take home pay with bonuses doesn't rank him up there with the top 10 or so corners in the league.   in this case then, i don't know who's dumber.  sheldon for signing such a long term contract when he knew it would be obsolete after a few years or the eagles for continiously practicing this nickle and dime crap that blows up in their face every time.

I am so sick and tired of football players bitching and moaning about contracts. Don't sign the friggin' contract if you don't like the terms! You take a pay cut for security. That's the way it is, you bozos. As a lifelong Eagles fan, I am fed up with this ####. Every year its someone else on this team complaining they only signed for 7.5 million dollars. Suck a d*ck. I hate Jeffrey Lurie and Joe Banner, but this time they have it right.

Please God tell me this is the same mongoloid who posts here.  Please?

Sit this #### just like Lito. I'd make him sit for 3 straight years, don't let him play a friggin down. See how well he stays in shape. We did it to TO!
