Sheldon Brown wants to be traded

[ice grillin you]

why the farg did you sign the extension idiot.

because the eagles said to him if you do us one by signing early we will do you one if you play up to or past the level of the extension...little did sheldon know they mean do him up the ass

yeah I'm sure if they said that he wouldn't mention it 

First, he told the Daily News his reasoning when he signed the contract extension in 2004 was "they came to me early to do a deal" and if he continued to play well, that would happen again.

I'm surprised the bald-headed mouthpiece hasn't ripped Sheldon a new one yet.

[ice grillin you]

it makes me sick when people scream and yell at these guys to honor their deal when the team can cut the guy anytime it wants

im not saying there arent douchebag players who try to cake off when they shouldnt...if shawn andrews comes out this year and talks new deal ill be the first one to say hes doesnt deserve one yet...but jesus sheldons siutation is almost the perfect storm of the player being in the right...excellent player...been a good soldier...isnt super old...has been playing below market value...and has been doing so for five years

if youre against him here then you are a complete schill for management and theres no hope for you

Did they say that, or is that what he thought? big difference.

Yay for this situation!

Asked if the dispute might affect his play, should the Eagles stick to their vow not to trade him, Brown said: "It might. You never know. It's certainly something I'm going to be answering questions about all season long."

Sheldon may have a good argument to make if he sits down with management and lays out his accomplishments over the last couple of years, but comments like the quote above aren't going to help him.  He sounds incredibly whiny and I think he just needs to step back and probably should have kept it in house for the time being.  If anything he should know how the Eagles operate and how going public just exacerbates the situation and makes re-negotiation slight.  I don't know if I've ever seen the Eagles release a statement that quickly and that pointed -- it seems like this definitely hit a nerve, especially since the Eagles think they are doing him a favor by locking him up relatively early in his career and giving him the security of a long-term deal.  With all the problems these 'lock them up' early deals have brought the Eagles, you'd think a re-assessment of the strategy might take place soon.  But at the same time, you'd think that if players are so upset with long-term deals, that they would be more than happy to play on a bunch of successive one year contracts and take the risk of becoming irrelevant from one year to the next.

lol...youre clearly looking for any possible to reason to blame the player..regardless of all possible evidence pointing to the contrary...nothing i or anyone else says is going to change your mind

like i said if you blame sheldon here then you have some sort of unhealthy relationship with banner inc. or you just despise players for some reason

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The problem for the Eagles is that the market rate for a starting CB has gone way up.
The problem for Sheldon is that he hasn't far outplayed the expectations of his existing contract.

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

Wait, so this is taking the FO's side?  Really?  Do I have to picket the NovaCare complex on Sheldon's behalf to be "middle of the road?"

[ice grillin you]

pretty sure no ones talking to you

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Sorry, back to your predictable and repetitive "argument" with phillymic, then.

Oh igy always trying to paint someone who doesn't fall in line with your thinking a hater. Is that what he said, or what they told him? simple question. If they did tell him that, then he has a point. If he assumed that then he is an idiot.

[ice grillin you]

its an irrelevant point

why do you hold sheldon brown to a standard that he must honor the entire length of his deal but you dont hold the team to that same expectation

[phillymic2000]

How are the eagles not honoring his deal? are you saying what you say/type is not relevant? you did post it.

Please click on the link above for enlightenment.

Brown is done after 2009 and he knows it.  Why?  Because there's no security whatsoever left for him because the last three years of this "deal" offer no protection for him if he gets hurt.  All the money remaining on this deal is "base salary".  Understand what that means?  It's means the only way he gets paid is if he plays.

Same goes for McNabb.  He has roughly $50M left on his deal.  Do any of you front office whores actually think the Eagles are going to come through on the remainder of the deal?  Hahahaha.  farg no.  He's done too.

Brown will be over 30 next season and he's a defensive back.  Yet some of you expect him to live up to the deal he signed.

That to me is hilarious.
